WHAT THEY WANT
The Silver People Outline
Their Policy.
An Effort to Be Male to Learn the
Views of the nembers
of Congress.

That convention of silver men which is
going to be held in Metropolitan Temple
on Saturday evening promises to be a
rousing affair.
People in all walks OF life have been
awakened to a deep interest in the matter,
and the gentlemen having in charge the
management of the affair are being be-
sieged with queries relative to it.
The various committees are hard at
work, and everything that could be done
has been accomplished.
The committee on finance was at work
yesterday and met with tlattering success.
A subscription list was circulated
among the mining men and offices and
doubt now exists but that funds enough
to carry the convention to a successful
issue can easily be raised.
The committee on resolutions also met,
but no definite policy was outlined.
Among the resolutions discp ssed, how
ever, aud which are likely to be intro
duced, is one calling upon California; 8

ing over political patronage and come out
fairly and squarely on the question at

pealed to.
Another resolution, ,9xlich will in all
probability be introduced. is one demand
ing that silver be again placed OH the basis
on which it was before the act of 1873.
The cause of the laboring man will also
receive attention.
Before selecting delegates to the Chi
cago convention an endeavor will be made
to obtain an expression of opinion from
all sections Of the State, and with that OBJ
ject in view invitations have been ex-
tended to the people OF all sections of the
State asking them to send delegates to the
Saturday night convention.
The gathering, by the way. is going to
be made entertaining as we'll as instruc-
tive. Bands of music and bon fires will be
strongly in evidence and some bright
speakers, including Frank G. Newlands,
Timothy G. Phelps and T. w. Fl. Shan

TO MAKE MONEY.
Capitalists Approve the
Valley Road.
They Look Upon the Project as a
Profitable Investment, Not
Charity Scheme.

A number of wealthy business men met
in Traffic Manager Leeds Office vester.
day afternoon for the purpose of becoming
fully informed concerning the Traffic As
sociation's plans for constructing the San
Francisco, Stockton and San Joaquin Rail-
road.
Before the close of the conference every
one present announced that he would not
only contribute literally to the enterprise.
but he would also urge his friends to
take stock. They all agreed that it was
not gift enterprise but an investment
that is certain to prove profitable.
One gentleman offered to make one OF
five hundred to take $4,000 in stock each,
and stated that he felt confident that there
many who felt just as he does. 1t Is safe
to say that the gentlemen who attended
the conference will be the owners OF at
least 100000 worth of stock.
During the next few days there will be
other conferences held by the officers of
the Traffic Association and local capitalists,
and when the subscriptions are finally
made public the amount will surprise
those who have doubted the success Of the
project.
: grnffe Manager Leeds has received a
letter from prominent contractor in Ala
media informing him that If the associa-
ton will send a representative to wait
upon the citizens of that } lace he will be
able to secure subscriptions TO a large
block of the stock.
Every day the prospects for the success
of the valley railroad grow brighter, and
were it not for the scarcity Of money the
means necessary for its construction would
be secured within thirty days.

Notwithstanding that numerous reports
have been circulated regarding the un-
wholesome condition Of the fish in San
Andreas Lake this year there were many
anglers rowing over the placid waters on
Sunday last. trolling for the denizens Of
the deep.
Among the experenced handlers of the
rod was one gentleman who some months
ago received good ducking near Point
Reyes. and as a consequence he has been
very particular ever since to avoid an i'm
promptu dip while angling for trout or
salmon.
1t happened. however. that on Sunday
he became acquainted with man named
Eckers. who was decidedly anxious to ac-
company some experienced fisherman on a
little pleasure trip On the lake.
Mr.. Bransdorf. who, by the way. is bet
ter known to the angling fraternity as
Young Sugarhouse," owing to his con-
necion with large sugar firm Of this
city. invited Mr.. Eckers to accompany
him. and the invitation being cordially
accepted the pair started off at an early
hour in quest of trout and bass.
1t was Mr.. Eckers' first experience in
lake fishing. and like the majority If be-
gfnners he was anxious to learn every par
ticulsr concerning the sport.
Mr.. Bransdorf was quite obliging and
took considerable pleasure teaching his
newly formed acquaintance the latest de-
vices in the art of lake fishing.
He first admonshed him to keep per-
fectly still and under no circumstance to
change his position once he had become
seated. as the least movement might upset
the boat, and then the result would be aw-
full to contemplate.
Mr. Eckers obeyed the mandate and
