SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.--The
following are the official closing
,,r;ces of mining stocks:
NEWS NOTES AND COMMENT,

Jo Venable has y soft thing. III
is solid with everybody.
Judge Lespeyre will have a walk
over for City Attorney. He has NJ
opposition worth mentioning.
Let's see. Who is the Republican
candidate for City Collector ant
Treasurer? Seldom ever hear hi!
name mentioned In connection witt
the office.
DIR. Thompson will make q mos,
excellent Mayor. He will bring te
the discharge of the duties of the po
sitlon ripe judgment, intelligence,
and an earnest desire to advance the
prosperity of the city. He should be
elected without serious opposition.
Rufus Hatch, who returned from
Europe a few days ago, says that
England is bankrupt in soil, politics
and religion. What is the matter
with Uncle Rufus? Couldn't he see
that dynamite has upset matters
there and that England is not show
ing off at her best just now?
Judge Wilcox has justly earned
the title of "Old Faithful" His fa-
miliarity with the duties Of Police
Magistrate and his well-known in
tegrity give him claim upon the
sutfrages of the people which cannot
we'll be overlooked. Judge Wilcox
is daily adding to his hosts of warm
friends and ardent admirers. i.
Two pairs of feminine eyes play a
part in the at route trial. The two
ladies, whose striking beauty makes
them the subject of much remark,
show constant interest in every fea-
ture of the trial, and their patient
and untiring watchfulness can but
be noted by Judge, jury, counsel and
spectators. They are sisters, born in
Arkansas; one is the wife of ex-Sena-
tor Dorsey, the other the widow of
Peck, who was indicted with Dorsey.
1t is just possible that the wires
made o mistake in announcing the
appointment Of Mr.. Kidder as asso-
ciate justice of Montana. We are
informed Mr.. Kidder has been asso-
ciate justice of the Supreme Court of
Dakota for several years, and that
his term of office will soon expire
there, and it is surmised by those
who are informed concerning the
gentleman's acceptability to the peo-
pie of that Territory, that the APP
pointment should read "for Dakota"
instead of for Montana.
1t is said that Mr.. Arthur was
greeted by a few bootblacks when,
being southwark bound, he passed
through Alexandria, Va. But Alex
andria treats Presidents with a cer-
tain degree of disdain. Gen. Wash
ington was knocked down in the |
market place there; General Jackson
had his nose pulled at the wharf;
Mr.. Johnson stood for half an hour
at the foot of King street, when con-
nection with Washington was made
BY steamboat, without having word
exchanged with him, and Mr.. Hayes
'ell from a platform and skinned his
shin.
The selection of Mr.. VIM. J. Nc
Namara by the Democratic Central
as candidate for Alder
nan in the First ward in place of
Mr.. Henry Jacobs, whose contem-
plated absence from the city induced
lin to withdraw his name, meets
With general appreciation. Mr.. Nc
Samara is large property holder in
hat ward, and his personal popular
ty added to his fine business quail
lcations will insure him an easy
ictory. The Democratic Alder
manic ticket is the strongest one ever
resented to the people for their
lffrages. Being composed of men
'ho have large pecuniary interests
the welfare of the city, the people
lay rest assured that its finances
'lll he carefully husbanded and ap-
lied where they will do the greatest
