Mr.. D.. F. Verdenal, in a letter to the
Stock Exchange from New York, makes
the following allusion to well known Pa
ciic Coasters:
To give an idea of how many ex-habitues

cidentally at room 81 of the Boreel build
ing yesterday Among them were George
D. Roberts; Alexander We'll, of Lazard
Freres; Joseph Aron, of Sutro Tunnel;

Beyea, ex of the Pacific Board; Al. A..
Hickox and General VIM. M. Lent, of
Bodie. There was a general handshaking
and ordinations of good will all around
the circle. In a few minutes there was a
general scatteration, and quiet reigned in
No. "a of the Boreel building.
Henry Williams and family have arrived
en- route for Europe, where Louis Sloss and
family must now be, having left over a
week since. Said Louis: 81 am going to
have a good time, and l don't care who
knows it. how long it will take or what it
will cost"
Alexander We'll is booked to leave on the
5th of May, and will return to New York
in August. He is looking well, and sends
his kind regards to his San Francisco
friends.
Colonel Charley Tozer has just come in
from the Black Hills, well satisfied with his
explorations in that direction.
Wandering along Broadway yesterday
was Alfred A. Cohen-hardly as big a man
in New York as in San Francisco, but still
noticeable.
Whitney, A. w., the broker, is here
again, looking as if he had put out a big
line of shorts in everything and didn't care
how soon he filed them. He has been
down to Arizona, sleeping out Of nights,
and says it has agreed with him. He is
now ready for anything that promises
money or safe returns.
Harry Logan's yearly income from bust
ness is estimated at 500. 900. No wonder
he locks we'll and feels better.
John Landers looks as il he was going to
settle dow here for good. He has been
h~ob-nobbing with Joe English of late, and
it is more than probable that something
will turn up trumps.
Jim Crossman leaves for Panama on the
steamer Of the LIST proximo, in search of
the famous " Lost Mines Of Cana" Mean
while, he has been down to North Carolina
to look at an Atlantic gold mine. Jim
likes Boston, although late of nights it is
hard navigating its circumlocutory streets.
L. l.. Robinson still holds forth at the
Windsor, but will soon take the cars for
home. He is at the head of a syndicate for
the purchase of some Of the finest gravel
properties in California.
c. Y. Hobbs and Ashbury Harpending
have been busy killing time by little over
lures in corn and wheat, reaching up to a
couple of hundred thousand bushels per
day. Judging from their looks, they got
in right and went out :" just in time-an-
other minute would have ketched US I'M
comfortable close"
Captain H. H. Day, Of Raymond & Ely
fame, is looking around. So is William
Arlington, ex-manager Of the Phenix OF
Eureka.
Coll Deane has been sampling Colorado,
where George DAILY is n Of the big guns.
Senator John p. Jones is conspicuous
now by his absence attending his Sena-
torial duties at Washington. Nevada must

Jones must appear.
