.OLYMP IC CLUB OFFICERS,
Those Men Who Will Head the
Regular Ticket in the Com
ing Election.
The Athletic Sections VIII Put an
Opposition Ticket In
the Field.

The efforts OF the nominating committee
of the Olympic Club to get together last
evening and agree on a ticket to represent
all factions in the club resulted in a clash,
and in consequence an opposition ticket is
assured at the coming election.
The outdoor and indoor athletes, repre-
sented by F. r. Butts and Joseph S. Nc
Comb, insisted on being recognized. The
athletic section had Leonard Gill slated
for captain, Alex Forsyth for secretary and
Frank O'Kane for director, and when the
committee refused to receive these names,
Messrs. Butts and McComb at once re-
signed and announced their intention OF
putting up an opposition ticket.
The regulars did not come to any definite
conclusion owing to the fact that they did
not know whether their choices would &C.
cept the offices rendered them and the
matter was left IN allegiance until another
meeting, which will be held the latter part
of this week.
The names presented by the regulars
will probably be as follows: H. ]. Crocker
president; J. OBJ. Gum, yice-president
H. B. Russ, treasurer T. NJ. Pennell Sec
rotary; E. n. Short, leader; John Elliott
captain; Len Owens, F. r. Eaton, Joseph
P. Kelly, Harlow White and George New
hall, directors.
The opposition will hold caucus in o
few days, when the ticket it advocates will
be made public.
1t is understood that the nomination oil
]. OBJ. Gum, for vice-president, will be
fought tooth and nail and that Alex For
syth will be the opposition candidate for
secretary.
It is said that H. j. Crockers acceptance
OF the nomination for president hinges on
Mr.. Forsyth's acceptance of the nomina-
ton for secretary, and that the former will
withdraw in case the veteran secretary de-
cides not to run.
Charles Morrill's fight for the leadership
Is generally conceded to be dead.
Another meeting will be held on Friday
when it is expected that more definite con-
illusions will be arrived at.

BIDDING HIM FAREWELL,
Ex-Captain Douglass Pre-
serted With a Testimonial
by Company A.
Affecting Ceremony In the Assem-
by-Room at the Central
Police Station.

Whenthe announcement was made that
the Polee Commissioners had requested
the resignation of Captain Douglass the
men of company A selected committee
to obtairs subscriptions for a suitable tes-
timoniaI to him. The work was COM
menced, but was stopped when it was
known that the captain was to make a
fight to belretained. After he was dropped
from the roll on July 81 the work was re-
sumed, ard yesterday afternoon Company
A gathered in the assembly-room at the
Central police station.
Captain Douglass had been notified to be
at the station at o'clock, and he was led
into the assembly room by the committee.
Captain Whitman, his successor, made a
neat speech, in which he told him that the
men had gathered to bid him farewell as
their captain, and they had shown by their
actions, which spoke louder than words,
how much they appreciated and respected
him as their superior officer.
Sergeant Birisall then stepped forward
and in voice trembling with emotion re-
ferred to his long and pleasant relations
with the ex-caItain, and on behalf OF the
men presented him with a diamond ring
and pouch containing $500 in gold.
Captain Douglass, in thanking the men
Tor their testimonial, referred TO MS long
service in the department of thirty-six
years eleven months and fourteen days.
He had in that period experienced pleas
ant times and dissgreeabe times. He had.
he supposed, been rough with them at
times, but he could only say it was for
their own good and not for personal ag-
grandizement. Ee had grown up with
the department, and had never been
ashamed to say that he belonged to it. He
could conscientioualy say that it was Sec
ond to none on this continent.
II was dropped from the ROLL" con-
tinued the ex-captain. II could not con-
scientiously resign, as it would have been
an acknowledgment that l was either
mentally or physically disqualified, which
l consider l am not.
"You can rest assured that / will always
be with you in spirit, and whatever may
tend TO your benefit l will feel it just as
acutely as yourselves. My sympathies
will always be with the department,
wherever l may be-
The conclusion of the speech was greeted
with loud applause, and the company
joined in singing "Auld Lang Syne, fol-
lowed by a verse of Farewell My Own
True Love" BY this time the veteran
was in tears, and as each man shook
hands with him in turn he broke down
completely.
The ex-captain will leave for San Diego
to-day on visit to his daughter.

q stlckles, Buckminster, Lindsay and
smith Claims. Considerable prospecting
oy tunneiing and sinking has been done
on these claims, but it is all surface work.
nicn rock was found on all Of them, some
Oh IL paying to crush in hand-mortar.
Inc Utica is said to be running drift to
crosscut the vein at low level, and If this
SHOWS up favorably developments will be
at once commenced on the idle properties.
Inc Dead Horse vein Is only short dis
lance east of the Utica, and it is supposed
oy many that the veins will come together
at depth. The only work being done on
the VEN, except surface scratching, is the
SINKING OF the Last Chance shaft by the
otica company on bonded ground. As
they own the adjoining ground north and
nave crosscut it from their lower levels, it
is assumed they are not working wholly in
the dark. The other claims going north
are the Bennett, Coddington, Sawyer,
Mercer, WEIGH and Blood.
The Sawyer and Coddington are on Dead
Horse hill, directly east of town, which is
as full of holes and tunnels as prairie
dog colony. Many rich pockets have been
taken out of it and the whole hill pros
pects well, and would probably pay two or
three dollars ton to run through mill.
A mlllsite joins these claims, and they
could be worked with as great facility and
cheapness as the Gold Cliff. If reports are
true concerning them (which can be easily
tested) it is wonder that ten or twenty
stamp mill was not erected long ago.
There has been bond on these properties
for some time, but it is thought nothing
will come of it, as the time has about ex-
pired. The two properties are held, be-
lieve, at $4,000 and $35. 900 respectively.
The Mercer, WEIGH and Blood claims are
undeveloped, and nothing is doing on
them. An effort has recently been made
to bond the Blood property OF about thirty
acres, containing 1000 feet or more OF the
ledge, but the price could not be agreed
upon.
The parallel veins are going to be great
factors in the wealth produced at Angels
in the near future.
My attention will next be devoted to
Carson Hill, where occurs one of the great
est "blowouts" of quartz in California.
