THE OCCIDENTAL CLUB.
Democrats From Bernai
Heights Held an Animated
Conference.
President John MCCARTHY on the
Subject of Party OrganiZa-
tlon.

One hundred or more Democrats, mainly
young men, came in from Bernal Heights
last evening to attend the Thirty fifth
Assembly District meeting at the Occi-
dental Club on the hill. The number that
went in filed the basement hall and made
the meeting quite animated.
P. f. Dundon, chairman of the organiza-
ton committee of the Occidental, called
his guests from Bernal Heights to order
and explained in the smoothest style of
eloquence the necessity of harmony and
unity among the Democrats of the City.
In a lucid manner he outlined the meth
ods of organization which the Occidentals
had adopted and endeavored to impress
upon his hearers the idea that the meeting
which ne was then addressing was pre-
liminary; that it was to be guided by de-
Ii beration in the initial proceedings and to
keep deliheration in mind throughout SUBJ
seauent transactions.
William Bell an impulsive partisan who
had given his time and car fare to attend
the conference, proposed to proceed i'm
mediately to the business of the organiza-
tion: but he was restrained, ruled out of
order and very nearly suppressed by the
diplomatic Dundon, who kent insisting on
preliminary deliberation, with direct
hint that no permanent officers could be
chosen without the approval of the di-
rectors of the Occidental.
A motion to make Michael Herman
temporary chairman prevailed. A nice
looking young Democrat arose to address
his fellow-citiZens of the district, when a
th undering voice shouted:
What are you doing here? You voted
the prohibition ticket at the last elec-
ton ~
Another voice: "Yes; he has no busi-
ness here. He ought to be in Jail"
The temporary chairman restored de-
with a rush elected district and precinct
captains.
In due time the board OF directors of the
Occidental will pass upon the qualification
of the captains chosen.
John Mccarthy, president OF the Occi-
dental, said in an interview last night: sit
is not the intention of the club to interfere
in local affairs. Contentious in the various
districts and precincts must be settled IN
the respective localities. To assist the
party in organization the convenlences OF
the house will be rendered to Democrats.
Our purpose mainly is to deal with Ma
tional and State affairs of the party and to
effect as far as possible permanent club
organizations in the various districts. The
club is in a prosperous condition and its
mem bership is constantly increasing. We
recognize that there must be a head and
method for organization, but beyond pre-
scribing certain regulations to govern the
formation of district clubs we shall not in
terfere In local m ALTERS"

CALAVERAS MINING DEAL.
An Accid ent to the Hosting Machinery
OF the Stickles Mine Temporarily
Susueuds Operations.

An important mining deal was closed in
Oalaveras County, Smith Flat mining dis
trict, few days ago by the sale of the
Fred Bruno mine to an English syndicate,
composed of prominent mining men hail
ing from New York and Boston. The price
realized from the sale of the mine is $75, 900.
Otto Doling, the proprietor Of the Angels
Hotel at Angels Camp, was in the City
yesterday and reported that the pumps
have been placed in position at the Stickles
shaft and that the work of draining the
mine was rapidly progressing, but owing
to an accident, which might have resulted
fatally to number of miners, the work of
hosting water by means OF the skips, has
been temporarily suspended.
A skip borrowed from the Fox mine was
placed underneath the water skip in the
Stickles shaft, and by that means double
the amount of water was hoisted at each
trip of the skip, when by an unlooked-for
breakage of the machinery the water-hoist
could not be stopped. The skips, with 1400
gallons of water aboard. crashed up into
the sheaves of the galley-frame, breaking
the rope and dropping the skips to the bot
tom-11S5 feet-the rapid descent tearing
the guides from the wall plates and remov-
ing number of the timbers.

TO DEVELOP OIL FIELDS.
A Company Formed to Bring Petroleum
to Oakland.

A company Form ed to Bring petroleum
to Oakland.
Articles Of incorporat ton have been pre-
pared and will be filed with the Secretary
of State to-day for the development of the
oil fields in Contra Costa County. Since
the matter was investigated by the fuel
committee of the Manufacturers and Pro-
ducers' Association of San Francisco about
two months ago the development of the
oil-bearing sha.e has occupied the atten-
ton of capitalists and a company has
been formed to push the new industry.
The samples carried off by the committee
were thoroughly inspected and tested and
found to be very valuable and to contain
enough oil to warrant working the field.
The district within which the oil has been
found covers several thousands of acres,
and prolific as were the places inspected it
is the opinion of experts that the main
field has not yet been located.
