EIGHTY DELEGATES.
They Come High, but the San Quentin
Quarry Must Go.

Quarry Must Go.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 12th.-The CAL to-mor-
row will say: The meeting of the State Prison
Directors on Saturday next at San Quentin bids
fair to be most lively and entertaining session.
A scheme to convert the stone-quarry into
mint for turning out campaign funds will be
considered.
In that part of the prison grounds known as
"Heg Ranch is a large hill of building stone
Phil. Crimmins and Martin Kelly who aspire to
succeed the late William L. Higgins as bosses in
the Republican party, cast their political eyes
upsn this quarry, and decided that it might be
sold under contract that will furnish some of
the funds necessary to run the campaign pre-
liminaries.
Messrs. Cummins and Kelly are reported to
have agreed to place eighty delegates in the
State Convention who will vote first last and ali
the time for the denomination of Governor
Waterman.
incidentally, Daniel sheeren, stone and
marble cutter of this city, offered to contribute
IS, 900 toward opening the quarry and pay
81 cents per ton for the smallest stone
aud cents per ton for large blocks.
The value OF the contract under these terms
may be in measure estimated from the fact
that J. S. I1bballs, a Sea-Wall contractor when
cut off from the supply of Telegraph Hill rock,
offered to pay the Prison Directors % cents
ten for rock from quarry much less fayorably
located that the one at the Hog Ranch.r
1t is believed that the contract viii enable
Messrs. Crimnins and Kelly to place at least
$50 goo in the Waterman campaign fund, unless
ernor's Private Secretary.
The meeting of the Directors set for Tuesday
last failed OF quorum, because some of the
members of the Board did not at that time
feel equal to the consideration of tho, the
financial problem involving the converting
OF the quarry owned by the State into mint,
to turn out golden twenty dollar gold pieces for
the Waterman Company's sack.
The meeting on Saturday, however will prob
ably fix the revenue TO be derived by Messrs
Crimmins and Company, from this source.
