acquired in the meanwhile, will be operated
by electricity conveyed through an under
ground conduit.
Nor will this improvement in surface
transit be confined to the lines of the
Metropolitan Traction Company. What is
economical and practicable for one cor
poration will be readily adopted by its
rivals, and the total surface mileage of the
city, which is 800 miles, and which will in
five years reach 400 miles, will be operated
by electricity, but how much more cheaplv
than now it is difficult to state.
John D. Crimmins, who does all the con-
structon for the Metropolitan Company,
says that after less than three months
operation of an underground conduit
branch of the system, from One Hundred
and Eighth street and Columbus avenue to
One Hundred and Fortv-sixth street and
Lenox avenue, the company's engineers
have determined that the saving in operat-
ing expenses is cents per car-mile as COM
pared with cable traction and cents per
car-mile as compared with horse service.
The aggregate car-mile service of the
METROPOLITAN system is 100000 miles,
and the general adoption of the under
ground trolley means saving of $1,000
900 annually. 1t takes DC. 000, 600 people at
cents each to put 81 900, 900 into street.
car company s Golfers.
The construction of the underground
contact system, upon plan of which the
Siemens- Holske system, for several years
in successful operation at Budapest, is the
base, but which has been adopted and i'm
proved by the engineers of the General
Electric Company, is simplicity itself. The
cars in motion appear to move as If drawn
by cable. They are however, immeas-
urably smoother in action, and start and
STR with nr1f INV low In
stopped when at high speed within q very
short space.
The plow suspended from the crossbar
of the car-truck passes through the slot in
the conduit originally laid for cable, and
presses against the fiat surface of two iron
conductors running the entire length of
the conduit.
The conduit is built along the grade Of
the street, but with sufficient pitch to pre-
| vent any water flowing into the conduit to
! find its way into the manholes, which are
| located at every thirty feet, and thence
| into the sewers. Each conductor forms
one side of the working circuit, and the
| current is then insulated through the cir
cult.
| The pillow or travelling contact arrange
| ment is quite novel. The contact pieces
are of cast iron, and are supported on
| spring levers, which cause them to press
outwardly against the two conductors at a
| tension OF not over SIX pounds. The con-
ductors, which are of sheet copper, tapped,
are brought up to the car and are pro-
tected on each side as they pass through
the slot by sheet metal. Manganese steel
| is also used, and its adoption will become
| general. A heavy sheet of fiber is located
between the contact shoes to prevent

| The Broadway cable road will be the last
section of the system to be converted. By
| that time, January /, 1900, the company
will have erected mammoth power-house
on the banks of the Harlem River, from
which all the lines will be operated.

BASS-FISHING.
Anglers Who Have Had Great Sport
Near Guerneville.

AS angling for trout in coast streams is
almost done for owing to scarcity of
water, and the closing of the Spring VAL
ley lakes also taken into consideration, the
lovers of fishing are now turning their at
tention to the excellent black-bass Fl shing
that is being enjoyed in Russian River.
The best catches are made near Guerne-
vile, on the line of the San Francisco and
North Pacific Coast Railroad. The bass
near Duncan's Mills are not of good flavor
because of the many redwood logs that
are lodged in the river near the mills. The
fish hide under the logs. and their flesh is
consequently of woody flavor Further
up the river in the vicinity of Guerneville
the bass that have been caught were of ex-
cellent flavor, hence the run of anglers to

Two delegates of the Walters Union
notified the Council of Labor at its regular
meeting, at 1859 Mission street, last night
of the walters walk-out at the Creamery
yesterday noon. The visitors did not enter
the hall, but made known their desires to
the financial secretary, who received them
in the entry.
The object of the visit was to present
their grievance to the council at some APP
pointed time. They were told to attend a
special meeting tonight at o'clock in
Labor Hall, 1859 Mission street, when the
strike would be considered and measures
taken accordingly.

Theodore Winters will dispose of his Rancho

horses now in training at the Bay District
track Wednesday, November g. at Killip & Co.'s
salesyard, Van Ness avenue and Market street.
Among the youngsters are some brothers and
sisters to many notable turf performers. The
star of the lot is probably Don Vallejo, a full
brother to Don Jose and Ed Corrigan, and there
will undoubtedly be some brisk bidding for
the full sister to Dolly McCone. The get of the
