Pop corn is oxpected to yiold a revenue to the Ex position company of if217,000. Thic estimate may seom exorbitant, but it is made by Secretary Crawford, ono of tho ways and menus committee, and is doubtless correct. Mr. Crawford lias based his figures on tho recoipts from this concession of the centennial. Inl870thero wero 8,004, 000 admissions to the grounds at Phila delphia. Of those who entered the gates ono in four purchased pop corn. The gross receipts wero about $100,000 Tho pop-corn habit Iihb grown upon tho public as the years have gono past, and moro than one in four will pur chase next yenr. But, in order that no overestimate may bo made, Mr. Craw ford has clung to the old figures. It is estimated that at least 28,000,000 indi viduals will enter tho World's If air gates next year, and that 7,000,000 will spend 5 cents each for pop corn. If these figures are correct, $350,000 will bo expended for pop corn by tlioso who visit the fair. i'cBterday tho privilege of eelliug pop was voted to tho firms of E. II. "Nich olas it Co' and J. M. Martin & Co. who promise to pay 02 per cent of the gross receipts. This will net tho Exposition company $210,000, and that is who tlie members of the ways and means com mittee aro happy. Pop corn is not considered a standard articlo of diet. Tho concession was onco offered for $20,000 nnd as it now brings ten times that sum there is gen eral rejoicing. TIIK MINMSAI'OI.IS C1IAIUMEX.

Within tho past few hours there has been a de cided cliango in scnlimont as to who should be given tho honor of permanent chairman of tho Minneapolis conven tion. A fow days ago it seemed almost certain that ex-Senator Ingalls would bo tho permanent presiding officer. Today it looks very much liko ex-Senator Spoonor, of Wisconsin. In view of the fact that Kpooner lias expressed the opinion that Blaine should be nominat ed in order to carry Wisconsin and sev eral other states, it isprobablo that the chairmanship will bohis. At any rate his candidacy is being received with de cided favor from nil sides. Thero iB supposition, howover, that ox-Senator Ingalls may bo honored in being named as tho tempoiary chair man. It is probable that tho Kansan would bo satisfied with this placo, pro vided ho cannot secure tiio pormauont chairmanship. This would givo tho pyrotechnical senator an opportunity to mako a characteristic speech anil placo him beforo the country as return ing to tho party fold in a way that would bo pleasing to himself and his admirers.

Wealth That Has Lain for Years Undisturbed. HANDFULS OF GOLD IN VIEW. Charles A. Uodip; Discovered some Kich Claims In 11177, But Was Driven Away By Indian Hostilities Thinks He Can Find the Spot. Chass. A. Rodig, an old timo pros pector who has for some years been en gaged in the shoemaker's trado in this city, has closed his shop, sent his wifo to Germany, and will go out prospect ing again. In 1877 Mr. Rodig was in tho vicinity of tiie Four Peaks, and nlthough the Indians were quite hostile, managed to push into a rough, undeveloped coun try, never before, perhaps, entered by white men. He found gold in great quantities in ledges as well ns placer gold. From tho latter ho obtained $73.50 from one panful of tlie rich earth and Drought it clown with him. Ho was only three days in the sec iudtd placo before a messenger passed near and reported the Apaches on tho war pain uuu Killing everyone who came in their wny. As the mountain fastnesses were well known to tho red men, they thought it advisable to vacate. So after taking thebearings of the location they took their departure for a place of safety. Three years ago Mr. Rodig started to again locate the rich find of former years, but ho received a sunstroke while crossing tho desert and lay for five days before he was rescued by a passing stranger and brought back to the city. Since then the hungry wolf lias crowded tho door so closely, assisted by sickness of his family nnd Mr. Rodig has been compelled to stick to tho awl for a livelihood. He has, however, shaped his business so thnt he can again return to the fa vorite pursuit of prospecting, nt which he was, in early days, eminently suc cessful. Just who will accompany him, is not yet certain, but within a" week ho will undoubtedly be in search of the lost treasure, which the old prospector eays is the linest mining prospect he has scon either in California or Arizona. Mr. Rodig has many friends in this city and can eet any backing necessnry to prosecute tho search , but ho remarked yesterday that he thought he would ex perience no difficulty in finding the spot and that by September he would either bo penniless or have an ample fortune.

Tho state of the unterrified is made up. It is: For president, Grover Cleveland; for vice-president, "Ob jector" Holnian; for governor of Arizo na delegate, Sheriff Nugent; for secre tary of Arizona, Ed. Mayes; for United States marshal of Arizona, Editor Field; for United States attorney of Arizona, Sam Purdy all of Yuma; for the coun cil next legislature, Hon. Thomas Gates; for the house next legislature, Dr. P. G. Cotter; for sheriff Yuma county, Joe Nugent. Of course Yuma does not ask for, nor does sho want much, but tho wants to bo recognized, that is all. Tho im pression here is that the state will work as it will harmonize tho party, and soothe the rufiled spirit of those whose hearts were touched when Nugent was elected delegate to Chicago. The Petrlled Woman lias been hero. She is a good one. Very natural. All have an opinion and it varies. The eight legged cat is a curiosity, worth seeing, liko all such freaks ol nnture.
