November"
The strangest part of the whole affair here to
old-line Democrats Is that Senator Jones Is
ready to bring about Bryan's endorsement by
this Convention on any platform that the Pop
ulists may decide to build for Bryan. Senator
Jones lauRhinRly told his friends to-day that ho
was not In town to talk about platforms, but
that his mission here was to bring about, II pos
sible, Bryan's endorsement. Senator Jones and
Gov. Stone and all of Bryan's friends have at
tempted 10 mako a canvas of tho States that
were favorable to his endorsement, and they
have given up tho task. The only Populist in
town who hit the situation almost exactly on tho
head was "Bloody Brides" Waite of Colorado
when he said that some of the Southern dele.
gates are not extremely radical In their opposi-
tion to Bryan. but that they arc still sore
enough to walk out Of the Convention II they do
not have their own way. Waite continued;
"on the other hand the silver men from tho
West are generally determined to have Bryan
or Walk out. This is question that cannot be
COMPROMISED. The ono great issue before the
people at the present time is that OF finance.
and our friends In the West hold IL above all
questions OF mon or party organization. II
would be useless for us to remain In tho Con-
vention II Bryan is turned down. The voters
would be Tor him In any event. And we would
only cut on our own noses by agreeing to tho
nomination OF some one else"
In other words. tho free silver men have
Joined hands with their Populist friends Of the

doing SO they have AntAgonized many Of the

Within few months past several
notices of mining locations In the
LivermOre region have been flied, and
in former yeare there have been good
deal OF searching for gold in the east

the placers paid fairly well. The

the Contra Costa hills, dividing A la

or two ago there were several loca-
tons made near Temesscal lake, and
that considerable prospecting was
done. But, after the discoveries had
worked few weeks, they grew dis.

heard OF the matter. In the quarry
being worked by tho California
improvement company, near Mills
College, there are traces OF gold in

ledge of rock. In picked pieces the
gold has assayed az high as 81 u ton,
but generally II does not come TO even
IL ton. This gold is found In the
trade rock. which Is squared for road
making purposes, but 1t Is richer In

meath the trap. Although assays have
been made occasionally ne a matter OF
curiosity, the company has done
nothing towards turning It's quarry
into gold mine, and is not likely to
do anything.
Except at the north in Siskiyou and
Shasta counties, where the Sierra runs
into the Coast range, and In the south
where there are some paying mines,
the finds of precious metals in the

The boulder, which has been report.
