WILL INSPECT THE LINE.
Directors of the Valley Road
Going to Stockton Next
Monday.
The New Railway as Far as Con-
structed to Be Examined
Thoroughly.

The San Francisco and San Joaquin Val
ley Railway has so far advanced in con-
struction that the time has come for its
directors to make tour of inspection of
the new roadbed, the freightyards and
various sidetracks in Stockton.
The whole board will go to Stockton on
Monday" said E. F. Preston, attorney for
the company, yesterday. We look on the
work in hand now as sufficiently far ad-
vanced to call for personal inspection by
the directors, and this is the reason for our
visit next week to Stockton.
1--WE have been transacting business
expeditiousiy at the head Office here and
listening to Chief Engineer Storey's re-
ports of progress from week to week, but
now the board wants to see for itself just
exactly what is the present situation. Up
at Stockton they have got the first loco
motive out with a train of flatcars The
road is finished practically from the har-
Dor TO the city limits, with sidetracks and
yardtracks all laid, and laying track is
going on down toward the river over the
miles of graded roadbed. Besides there
is great deal of bridge and trestle build
ing going on. All this work has grown to
large proportions, and the directors in
tend to see it and make a thorough exam
Eleven f1atcars have been shipped from
a San Francisco mandatory to Stockton
for the Valley road, and every week now,
until $50 fiat and box cars are finished, ten
cars will be turned out of the shops and
forwarded to Stockton. Just as soon as
this first contract for cars is filled the
builders will begin the construction of 100
more freightcars for the Valley road. The
materials used are and shall be of Califor-
MIA production, excepting such appliances
and ironwork as cannot be got here, and
which are mostly covered with patents
held by Eastern manufacturers.
Quite a large batch of contracts for
tresties and bridges is in the hands of At
torney Preston. These will be taken to
Stockton Monday and submitted to con-
tractors for signatures.
The local engineers of the War Depart
mert have reported favorably on the COM
pany's petition for permi ssion to construct
and maintain a steel drawbridge across
Mormon Channel in Stockton at a point
where the channel is navigable. One more
step is necessary now to secure the de-
sired privilege and that is the confrms-
ton from Washington. D. c., of the local
| officers report. By the time this is ready
the bridge will be beside the channel in
readiness for immediate erection upon
foundations of concrete masonry.

MINING ON THE BEACH.
Successful Test Made of the Banta
Process Yesterday.

Successful Test Made of the Banta
Process Yesterday.
Recently one. of the I. Banta & Co.
plants for saving gold from black sand
was erected on the beach near the Ocean
side House. A demonstration of it's work
ing was made yesterday, at which time a
number of mining men interested in
biack-sand propositions were present.
About as severe test as process could
be subjected to is the saving of gold from
the sands along the beach anywhere in
this vicinity. In the first place an assay
shows the sand to contain but about 10
cents to the ton, and. secondly. the gold
is extremely fine, therefore very difficult
to save. However, the Banta process
saved the gold-90 per cent of it-and par
ties interested in this subject can see the
demonstration of this fact at the beach.
1t is not expected or intended to work
the sand at this locality for profit, as it is
probably too low-grade to pay. The idea
is to keep the plant in operation there to
prove its practicability and its success.
The process seems to have solved the
blacksand problem. The plant will be
operated tomorrow, giving a chance to
those who cannot conveniently do SO on
weekdays to visit the works and see
practical test of the process.

RUN OVER BY A CAR.
Little Lillian Hansen Progressing Salts
factorilx Taward Recavery.

Little Lillian Hansen Progressing Salts
factorily Toward Recovery.
Lillian Hansen, the little three-year-old
girl who was run over by Sutter-street
car on Saturday last, is progressing salts
factorily toward a complete recovery.
The child went into a fruitstore on Pine
and Polk street and annexed two apples,
one of which she gave to her little brother.
The fruit merchant caught her in the act
and chased her into the street. In trying
to escape punishment little Lillian ran
across the car track. A southboun car
passed along at the moment and the grip
man was unable to come to a stop in time.
The child was thrown down and the
dummy almost passed over her.
Fortunately the child fell parallel with
the lines of the track and beyond sustain.
ing sundry scalp wounds and contusions,
escaped without serious injury.

The Wave.

This weeks issue of The Wave is a well writ
ten and attractive paper. General topics of
serious interest and the gossip and current
events of the week are looked into and dis
cussed in way that is sure to make them in
teresting to the reader. There is forcible
editorial showing the disoredit that is being
cast over CALIFORNIA; fair name by the opposi-
ton of certain newspapers and politicians to
well-known institutions of the State Cuban
affairs and the Durrant trial furnish subjects
for interesting discussion, and John Bonner,
in his usual clever style, covers various topics
of interest. Wilton Lackaye is interviewed
and talks about himself and his art while pre-
pairing for the stage. Frank Norris contributes
an article deploring the almost total disnp-
pearance of American fiction from our book
stores, and there is humorous reply to last
weeks interesting article on the rudeness of
women. Ernest Peixotto's pictures are SUBJ
jected to q criticism, and Conan Doyle's lates:
story is reviewed. The issue is good one and
should be widely read.

tons this fall will, think, show that the
Republican party is still in the ascend
ency."
"Who are looked upon as the most
likely candidates?' was asked
mckinley, Allison and Reed are the
candidates who are most talked of now.
How about Harrison? Well, it has
been supposed that he would be candi-
date, but lately 1t has been given out that
he would not be. Of course, Harrison is
always possibility; but think that the
public sentiment has crystallized on the
three I mentioned. 1t is very hard to say
which has the strongest following Nor
ton of New York is talked of now consid-
erably, and if the New York delegation
should come to the convention unanimous
for him and make strong fight he might
be a formidable candidate"
The general was asked what would be
the position of the tariff question.
ut is generally understood" he replied,
"that the Republican party once in power
will revise the tariff. | don't mean by re-
visng the tariff that we shall go back to
the extreme measures of the past; but in
some things, predominantly WOOL there
will be distinct changes. | think that the
party believes that wool should be made a
dutiable article. Free wool under the
Wilson tariff act has almost ruined that
industry.
Iron and lumber, presume, will not
be changed. Lumber is now on the free
list, and the sentiment seems to be that
lumber being used by everybody should be
admitted free. Still l don't think that
taking the duty off has made any special
difference in the price. That is a question
of supply and demand. Now the supply
exceeds the demand and the price is low :.
Owners of Canadian lumber will get what
benefit there is from taking off the tariff
gtOno haliaf &c hot will IN,
time, as the supply of higher grades of
lum Der in the East decrease, be built up a
big trade in shipping redwood lumber"
Asked about the status of the silver
question in the East the general said:
$50 far as am able to judge the excite
ment about silver has largely subsidized
One hears very little compared With what
was heard year ago on the subject. Any
international agreement, however, looking
toward the larger circulation of gold and
silver will meet with the hearty response
and rejoicing of all parties. 1 think that
this is question that should be taken out
of politics"
General Alger is strongly in favor of
having the next National Republican Con-
vention held in San Francisco, and so cx-
pressed himself. Il have talked with a
number about it," he SAID, land the ex-
pense and time necessary for delegates to
come out are the only objections. If these
men could come here it would be a great
thing for this coast. 1t would show them
what great country this is"
1t was suggested that one cause of OBJ
lection would be the cost of bringing out
the large numbers of friends of the candi-
dates who usually attend conventions as
individuals or in uniformed clubs. 'There
may be something in that" he said. "but
don't believe that red fire is going to
figure as much in politics as it has in the
past"

FOUND TAINTED FISH.
The American Union Fish Company
Objected TO the Methods Used
by Warden Mogan.


J. A. Mogan, Game and Fish Warden of
this City and County, had warrant
served yesterday on one Garibaldi, an en-
ploye of the American Union Fish Com
pany at $40 Washington street, for inter
ferng with an officer in the performance
of his duty and for battery. Garibaldi is
now behind the bars, with bail fixed at
$500.
Mo gan suspected that the fish company
was receiving striped bass short of the
regulation weight of three pounds pro-
vided by law, and Friday morning he at
tempted to open one of four boxes Just re-
ceived, but was forcibly prevented from
doing so by the employees of the firm, one
of whom, Garibaldi, pushed him roughly
from the place.
Mogan obtained a search warrant and
inspected the establishment thoroughly
He found in one of the refrigerators, he
said, 1000 pounds of young sturgeon under
the required length of three feet, some
being only fifteen inches in length. He
also found that the entire lot was tainted
and unfit for marketable purposes. He
Immediately notified Market Inspector
Davis. Mr.. Davis said last evening that
he visited the place as soon as he received
the notice and went through all the ice
boxes, but failed to find pound of tainted
fish in the whole establishment.
A test case will be made of this next
Tuesday, as to whether the Game and Fish
Warden has a legal right to open boxes of
fish or enter the refrigerators of dealers
without a search warrant.
