Indeed, it may be safely estimated that
ninety-five per cent. Of the Forty
Miners who had then arrived, and were
still arriving in California were animated
by this sentiment. For at that time the
country, with its arid and uninviting
aspect, presented few or no attractions
for permanent residence Much less
did it then exhibit any of the evidences

A Parting Kick.

1t was equally well for the national
republican committee to pass resolutions
complimenting Senator Quay and Colonel
Dudley for the skill and energy exhibited
in the last presidential campaign, and to
prepare for the next by accepting the
designations Of both. Complimentary
resolutions cost nothing; but to retain the
services OF these skillful and energetic
gentlemen in the capacity in which they
served four years ago probably would
cost the republican party something.
Colonel Dudley is pension claim agent
upon massive scale, and pension claim
agents are in growing disfayor with the
people. Besides his epistolary style is
not popularone. He writes his busi-
ness letters in a. senseless jargon OF
''foaters' and ''blocks of tive," which is
susceptible of injurious misconception.
Certain things have happened to Senator
Quay also which, though met and ex
planned with his usual engaging frankness,
leave his usefulness as chief OF the repub-
lican campaign management somewhat
impaired. These are both singularly able
gentlemen, and the reluctance of the
committee to part with them is natural ;
but the parting was probably inevitable.
AS for Mr. Clarkson, who succeeds Quay,
he is by far the best Of the crowd he be-
longs to.-Oregonian.

(Winard B. Earwell in August Century,
Crossing the equator on the 9TH Of June,
we continued to drift lazily northward,
until we took the northeast trades about
40 degrees north latitude and were soon
Fastening towards the end Of the voy-
age.
1t was afternoon Of the 9Th Of July
when we entered the Golden Gate. The
hills about the bay were dressed in the
arid garb Of the dry midsummer. Until
Telegraph Hill was rounded no habita-
ton or sign Of civilization was visible
save the dilapidated earthworks at Fort
Point and the few crumbling adobe
buildings that then constituted "the
Presido," or old Mexican military post.
Alcatraz Island, now covered with forth
fications and barracks and crowned with
lighthouse at it's summit, was then
naked and white with the guano Of the
myriads OF cormorants, gulls, and pelicans
that nestled and Matched their broods
upon it. The hills Of Contra Costa and
the plains at their feet were rank with
wild cats, and we're the pasture grounds
Of herds of cattle. Here and there across
the broad and beautiful bay the white
washed walls of an adobe ranch house
were visible. Rounding Telegraph Hill
however, there was change OF scene.
As the harbor Of San F.ancisco opened
up before us whole fleet of vessels Of
every class and description were seen at
anchor. Clearly some kind Of talisman
was drawing tfither the commerce Of the
world, although on shore, as viewed
from the ships deck, one saw but few
adobe buildings, relics Of Mexican
methods and habits, some small wooden
structures here and there and tents large
and small dotting the hill sides and
beach.
Landing on the rocks at Clark's Point,
spur Of Telegraph hill (for no wharf
then existed), we skirted along the cove
round into the center OF the town, then
fairly embraced within the space now
covered by the few blocks bordering up
on the Plaza or Portsmouth Square. A
locality more replete with hustle and ex-
element than this then was never ex-
listed. Gambling and gamblers were in
full possession OF the field. Tents were
crowded with people surrounding the
tables where the Mexican game of
'monte" and other so-called banking
games were in full blast. These were
tine first and most conspicuous features OF
the scene. The mercantile establish
ments were thronged with men fitting
out for 4the diggings" Activity pre-
vailed everywhere, occassioned mainly
by the innumerable expeditions and
squads of men about to depart for the
mining region. For aside from the
gambling fraternity, andthe comparative
ly few older and wiser heads who saw
safer and more profitable field Of opera
tons in the opportunities which existed
for trade and speculation in San Fran
cisco, the heart of the multitude was set

RAILS FROM THE SEA.
The Wharf to the Wreck Complete
Railroad DOVE the Beach to
the Oyehut.

The venture of wrecking the cargo OF
the ship Abercorn for its 2S00 tons Of
steel rails is assured OF success. The
wharf from the beach to the wreck, about
400 feet in length, is practically fin-
ished and about seventy-five rails had
been taken out up to Tuesday. At that
time the wreckers were confident that
only very small fraction Of the rails
would be found to be misshapen or cor
roded, and that almost the entire cargo
would be saved in frst-class condition.
The manner in which the rails are be-
ing removed is, briefly, as follows The
rails are hoisted by a derrick from the
wreck to the pier where they are loaded
on a tram car, and thence carted to the
beach Upon removal from the water
the rails are given coat OF grease, to
prevent corrosion. From the beach end
Of the pier track is to be built south on
the beach five miles, and theme across
the upper end Of Damon's point. to the
Oyehut, on the harbor. This track will
Of course be temporary, and will be con-
structed OF the resurrected rails, which
will be taken up as soon as the work Of
transportation is completed. At the
Oyehut the rails will be loaded on sctws
which will take them to vessels and these
will carry them to Portland or the Sound.
The beach being perfectly level, con
struction OF the track will be easy, though
from the ocean beach to the Oyehut there
is some rough ground.
There were $500 tons in the cargo OF
the Abercorn. AT $50 per ton the value
of the rails would be $75, 900. The cost
OF .wrecking the vessel and removing the
cargo to Portland il is estimated will be
about 100000, and the wreckers paid the
underwater r., 500 for the cargo. 1t liz
evident that the venture will pay largely,
though there is a heavy tariff on foreign
steel rails. 1t is likely, however, that
theduty IN this case will be RENTED, and
the wreckers, who are J. r. Allen and
A. NJ. Cannon, Of Spokane, and Paul F.
Mohr, of Tacoma, will clear about $40, 900.

Are You Living on Your Claim


Asst. Secty. Chandler has decided that
an occasional visit to homestead is moi
sufficient to secure title to homestead
thus reversing the decision OF the land
commissioner
The case in which the decision was
made is that of Jno. Il. Potter Of the Spo-
kane land district.
The assistant secretary finds that Pot
ter maintained two residences, making
his home In Colfax, while occasionally
spending few nights during the years
since 1883 on the homestead entry. which
he holds as not sufficient evidence Of
good faith to entite him to the land in
question.
