Silver has no money. He is cripple
and is shabbily dressed. He lmpresses
one as a weak character rather than as
bold bad man.
E. o.. Dodge, who was one of a company
of men who intended going 10 South
America to prospect for gold, said last
mig hit: "Of course know this man George
w. Silver, and / and our party discovered
that he is about as fine romancer as tney
make.
''1n the latter part of last January he
presented himself at the residence OF Joe
Johns on Hyde street. You know Johns
used to be sergeant of police here. and
left short Tins since with a company OF
prospectors for South America, and must
be at Panama by this time.

Cready, Waltz and about twenty more,
who were to form a company to search Tor
gold, Silver told story very similar to
that which he told a reporter for The
CALL, and he laid particular stress upon
what he declared was an absolute fact,
and that was that some one had in the
night stolen a 27-pound nugget from his
s!uicebox. He also told Us that his cabin
was built on placer claim, but that IL
was washed away by freshet. and that
when the water subsidized he could go over
the placer and pick up gold by the hand
full. 1t was pretty story and he Is a
plausible story teller.
'After he had spun his yarn it set those
who heard it to thinking and discussing,
and afterward a quiet investigation was
started, and McMurty, who was the most
active in the matter, reported that the in
vestigation proved that it taxes not less
than five weeks to reach the nearest point
to the place where the Ell Dorado is To-
Gated. The name is Spanish one and
cannot recall it,. 1t was also learned that
it took several days TO reach the placer
from ths landing point. In addition ne
told us that he had been in the City for
some time buying hydraulic machinery
to work the placer
''Since the published article appeared
it was ascertained that Silver could not
have had time to go to the point of disen.-

addressed the post. Many other brief
but interesting speeches were made and
Commander John Tuttle presided with
grace ana dignity.
Measures for the observance of Memo

Thomas Post in memorial exercises at
the National Cemetery, Presidio.
There will be one more regular meeting g
OF the post before the de partment encamp-

point to a large encampment attendance
this year. The railroad iare for the round

During the recess of Thomas Post last

world
This was really very charming of Mr..
Skinner. and he said it in such a natural
way one could not help but be- convinced
OF his sincerity. He did not mince his
words. He spoke of JOY Vegetable Sar-
saparilla because he happened to use the
remedy and could vouch for it. he spoke
of California as native, yet he is a New
England boy.
Mr.. Skinner is to-day the leading young
American actor, and, in his special field
OF romantic and Shakespearean roles, bids
fair to be the leading star in the world
