Alameda City Trustees
ALAMEDA, CAL, April ga resolu-
ton was introduced at the meeting of the
City Trustees tonight calling upon the
City Attorney and the City Engineer to
draw up plans and specifications and an
ordinance for road way forty-eight feet in
width on Encinal avenue, between Yer
saiIles and High street. on which the
narrow-Sauge railroad runs. The appoint
ment of Miss lsa bel c. Linderman as
Deputy Assessor was confirmed, not, how
ever, without opposition on the part of
Trustee Schultz, who maintained that as
the city pays the salary of one deputy and
the Assessors salary has been recently
Increased and his work only takes up four
or i've months during the year he sh ould
pay the salary of the second deputy out of
his own pocket. Mr.. Schultz mai ntained,
furthermore, that for the time employed
the Assessor is the best-paid Officer in the
city. The salary of the deputy was re-
duced from $75 TO $50.

SUFFERING FROM
| A COLD FEVER
A Nugget of Gold Found
in a Chicken at
Haywards.
Scores of Peop,e Go Out to a
Ranch in the Homestead
and Prospect.
All Their Labor, However, Does Not
Produce Any More of the
Y How Metal.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,

sos Broadway, April 26.
There is great excite ment in Haywards
to-day, and in the vicinity OF the Home
stead scores of people are eagerly e1amin-
ing the ground hunting for a gold mine.
On several occasions during the past
few years there have been indications that
gold exists in some parts of this county,
but although camps have often been
formed, nothing of value has been dis
covered.
Yesterday Mr.. Sieboldt, the proprietor
OF the Haywards Villa, found a small mug
get OF gold in the stomach of chicken
that his cook was preparing for the Sab
bath menu. 1t contained about SO worth
of pure gold and naturally there was
great excitement in the quiet town. An
investigation was made to discover the
origin OF the chicken, and it was soon
learned that it was one of q batch bought
from a Portuguese rancher in the Home
stead.
The rancher on learning that his
chicken had been eating gold, at once
commenced to do some prospecting. He
hunted all over his ranch looking for the
mine from which his hen had eaten her
golden meal. He did not find II, however,
but the search was not given up. This
morning several Portuguese went out TO
the ranch and began carefully examining
the stones and gravel to try TO find some
gold. Others more venturesome pulled
up W, eds and ca abbages and carefully ex-
amined [ roots, expecting to find some
yellow lust upon them.
a there are about fifty acres of the
ranch there was plenty of opportunity for
the prospectors to put in a hard days
work without getting in each other's way,
and, when they compared conclusions at
the end OF ihe day, all were equally dis
appointed.
The facts however, are declared to be
absolutely true regarding the nnding of
the nugget in the chickens stomach, and
there is no explanation to be made OF the
manner in which it OF there. Local in
lerest IN the prospective gold mine from
hich the nugget came is not, however,
killed, and during the next week there
will no doubt be all kinds of people prod
ding and scraping al. over the Homestead.

OAKLAND, CAL, April 26.-The re-

enforced is likely 10 create an Interesting

unquestionaD oily, but he talks too much in
print, and his public views are singularly de-
fcient in good judgment and breadth of OBJ
seryation. Whether The total abolition of the
saloon in Oakland IS wise policy or not may
be debatab!e question, but Chief Lloyds re-
marks on the subject are both absurd and mis-
chievous. To say that if saloons were closed
''grass would grow in the streets OF Oakland"
and business be killed would be excusable in
the hired attorney OF the saloon-keepers
union, but is singularly unbecoming public
official
His duty is to enforce the law, not to print
commentaries upon it. Grass has not grown

Chief Lloyd would do well to stick to his po-

outbursts OF unwisdom and new-fangled meth

If they do not make any new records it
will be because they are physically unable.
Brother Lastian, the project OF the col
lege, is personally taking great interest
in the field Gay, and he has obtained
many valuable prizes for the successful
competitors. A handsome gold medal
will be awarded to the winner Of the 100
yard championship, which race always
eIcites great interest at st. Mary's. One
OF the most interesting features OF the day
will be a tug of war between two teams to
be selected from the students, and as
there is a good number of athletic young
fellows to select from the contest cannot
possibly be tame.
Frank Silva '9S will be in charge of one
team and William Mccartney will captain
the other side. An additional attraction
will be provided this year by the college
brass band. 1t has been considerably aug
mcnted and new interest has been shown
in il by the students, and under the direc-
ton of Professor Schorcht it has attained
high degree of proficiency. The band
will be on the campus during the exercises
and will enliven the proceedings with a
choice programme.
In the evening musical and literary
programme will be given by the pupils in

Plan to Do Away With
Bridge.
ALAMEDA, CAL, April 26.-The rail-
road company has given out an intima-
ton that it is ready to consider proposi-
ton looking toward the operation of its
trains in Alameda by n loop line, so as to
avoid the necessity for ar expensive
bridge across the estuary, as at present.
1t is willing to consider the matter and
put an engineering force in the field at
once to ascerta just how the problem
can be met.
Briefly, the plan is to lay third rail on
the local roads and to extend the present
narrow-gauge from the west end of the
San Leandro Bay bridge around 10 iunc-
ton with the broad-gauge line from Park
street to Fruitvale With this connection
trains over the broad and narrow gauge
lines would start from the present narrow.

at present; but instead of stopping at

on around to Fruitvale. and then over the
Oakland local to the mole. Other trains
would leave the broad-gauge mole and
come to Alameda over the route lust de.
scrited, bringing up at the narrow-gauge
mole.
Over the present narrow-gauge line the
same system would be followed, so that
no matter which way train was running
through Alameda it would finally arrive
at one of the moles. Much time lost in
waiting for trains would thus be saved
there would be an absence of the over
crowding at certain hours of morning and
