SOME GOLD NUGGETS.

Wednesday we had the pleasure of
examining five gold nuggets, represent
ing five days work for three men on
the Duncan & Golden Snake river plac-
ers. The combined weight was 31s
ounces worth $685.. That was an
average of $4.55 man per day. These
placers are situated about 10 miles
from Caldwell near the Warm Springs
on Snake river. Mr.. Duncan told us
that when they first began working the
bar. two dollars day was all they
could make, but as it receded from
the river channel the ground became
richer. They now have the pay streak
uncovered for 1900 feet and it runs
four feet in depth. Mr.. Dunken says
that the ground will 60 $4,000 to the
acre and that he believes it will pay "a
to $5 to the man day. The old-fash-
Toned rocker is now used, but system.
Of sluices will soon be put in which
will greatly facilitate work. Every day
parties are coming in with similar
nuggets. ai

The action of the Committee of
Twenty five in availing itself of
the absurd law compelling the
saloon keepers to remove their
screens, is generally condemned
on the corner. 1t is an admitted
fact that it has been done mainly
to annoy and persecUte the saloon
keepers in a retaliatOry spirit.
No good can be attained by this
end, for while it may prevent a
few hypocrites from drinking
openly at the bar it does not
prevent the secret drinking and
does not materially affect the
business of the saloons. If, as
the Committee urge, The saloons
are vicious and dangerous to the
community the removal of the
screens only serves to expose
the vice to women and children
who have occasion to pass by.
No wonder the women resent

action to ensure the replacing of

COSTLY JOKE FOR SACRAMENTANS.

ing the State Capital to San Jose.

SACRAMENTO. Cal, March {. -The Assem-
bly, to-day refused to reconsider the vote
whereby the constitutional amendment
removing the State capital from
Sacramento to San Jose was adopted.
The amendment has already been
adopted by the Senate and now
goes to the people to be voted upon. The
adoption of the amendment by the Legis-
lature was q surprise to the whole State, as
the question has not been mentioned this
session. The amendment was sprung in
the Senate late Saturday night and was
Immediately adopted by both houses. The
PRIME cause for the Legisiature's action
was an article in the Sacramento Bee
which appeared Saturday evening. Across
the whole front of the bee was
Q heading In large type: THANK
God the session now 10 almost over"
Another heading was: 1.-The Session Near
ing the Tick of Its Doom and Sacramentans
should All be Joyful" at first the adop-
ton of the amendment removing the capi-
tai was regarded as a joke. but San Jose
took it in earnest and quickly agreed to
raise a million dollars to build q new CAPT.
tol. besides donating ten acres OF land for
the site.

John C. Nelson Looks Like a Strong Dark

The failure of the President to send the
name of John w. Kern yesterday to the
Senate to be district attorney, has discour-
aged some OF his friends. One was found
yesterday who was decidedly doubtful of
success. There is too much scattering OF
influence" said he. The men who COM
monty have the key to the situation seem
each to have q separate closet with a caD-
didste In it. If John don't watch out he
will find the office falling to another"
The Journal has had good authority for
saying all along that the next district at
torney will be Judge j. c. Nelson. of Lo-
g~snsport. 81 Sheerln has told several in
this CITY that this appointment was the
only one which he would ask the President
to make. and furthermore, that he had told
the President that the only reward be
would ask for his services as secretary OF
the national committee would be to
name the recipient of his Office.
He named Judge Nelson. who is his life
long friend and intimate. There is said to
be little or no doubt that Sheerin will
have his desire granted. Another thing
against Kern is thai while he has Senate
Turple and Bynum for him, Senator VOor-
hees and Jason Brown are for Frank
