STORY WITHOUT FOUNDATION.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 20.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, chairman
Of the Democratic national committee.
said to-day that there is no foundation
for the report that he contemplates re-
signing the craftsmanship. 81 have had
no correspondence on that subject with
any one,' he said, and no suggestion
of that nature has ever been made to
me by any one, nor have l suggested it
to anyone. Indeed the subject has
never entered my mind until l saw the
report in the newspapers. There is no
occasion for meeting OF the national
committee at this time and no meeting
Is liable to be called. In a word, the re-
port is without foundation.

They made several shipments uf ore, but the charges were so heavy that they decided to work 1t themselves and for that purpose erected an arrastra which answers the purpose very well. The mine Is an old location formerly owned by United States Marshal Grif- filth, who sunk shaft seventy feet and got some very good ore, but the
 ledge was blind lead, and was found Dy Lawrence an.I Glissen about thirty feet from the lead The ledge is from two to three feet wide and carries a very rich streak which in some places is not wider than the thickness Of ones finger, aud it other places widens into into pockets. This streak assays POP ounces of fine gold to the ton, and the ledge matter sl5 to s20. The gold is in decomposed iron, which crumbles easily. Lawrence aud Glissen have two claims, one on either side of the discovery shaft.
