THOSE senators who have been pro- fessing to be surprised and shocked over the statement that lobbyist was employed to get the claim of the South ern Methodist church through congress, which was recently paid, after being before congress for more than twenty years, can hardly expect the country to take them seriously. Everybody else in Washington knows that lobbyists are employed in nearly every case where large claims are dependent upon n congressional appropriation for their payment, il senators do not, and not few of the lobbyists are men who have been in congress. The idea of senate committee making an investigation. as ordered by the resolution adopted, to find out whether the report that this particular lobbyist received 35per cent of the money paid is us farcical as the investigation a few years ago to ascer- tain how executive secrets got out. Senator Morgon says the heirs of John Roach paid lobbyists 50 per cent of the $3ss, 900 recently appropriated by con gress to pay their claims. IL would probably be impossible to find claim ant who has received money through an act of Congress who did not pay sx,,,,e, <,f it tf, lohhvists

Mining Transaction.

some SIX mOntns aBO J. l. DOuStucs we'll known in mining circles as an en- ergetic person, bonded several gold properties on the Santa Maria river in Eureka district. Among them were the Sultan and Christmas claims. These Mr. Dougine developed by rum ming four tunnels of nearly POO feet each. and faced the ledge for distance of 6Oo feet. Knowing that he would buy these claims at the expiration of the bonds, he was very much pleased when one of the owners made a propos- ition to discount the price agreed upon if the money was paid before the time set. Mir. Dougine having good bank account he called the owners together and proposed that if they would dis count alike he would pay ut this time. The proposition was entirely satisfac- tory. and the. deeds were accordingly delivered to the Prescott National | Bank and the money paid. Mir. Dou- zine will incorporate under the title of the Sultan Gold Mining Company. Ma chinery has already been ordered and from the showing these claims make there is but little doubt the enterprise will prove successful. Journal Miner.

corner, to lay the floor of the bridge upon. These were formed of three 1 timbers bound together at the top to form a tripod, and then stayed with cross pieces at the bottom. Then the two trusses were raised and the ends allowed to interlock over the middle of the mimic river and then a cross tim Der was placed between the two piers and the stringers of the bridge were laid on that In the meantime two men had climbed to the top of the truss, and after placing another cross piece in the crotch of the truss they hung two loops down to the stringers and putting cross pieces above and be- low the stringers and through the l loops, they twisted the loops with a bar until the truss and the stringers were firm, as if grown together. Then a constant stream of men from each side and each with a board laid the floor and then the two squads got in the middle of the completed structure and danced until there was no doubt Of it's strength. The whole thing had no, occupied more than fifteen minutes.
 While the bridge was being com pleted the attacking force opened fire and then the defenders came up and for while the Pavilion was full of smoke and noise and tongues of flame. Then the troops were drawn back, and to the merry strains of the band the entire regiment marched across the bridge in triumph. It was a gooo practical piece of work and an excellent drill.
 After the passing of the regiment the boys got at their bridge again and in half the time it took to put it up they had it down and slowed away all along the sides of the hall. Then the floor was cleared for dancing and the audience enjoyed itself for two hours more.
 The drills were all we'll applauded and the martial spirit was rife. Each particular company had it's friends who looked out that 1t did not lack appre- citation, but when the flag came by it was everybody's and the cheers shook the roof.
 A new rife range has been a sore need for the regiment, and 1t was hoped that the entertainment would bring it within reach, but if the regi- ment is called out the rifle range will have to wait for while longer, and the money the people so gladly paio for their tickets will be used to put the men in the best of trim for more serious business than target practice.

 Colonel James F. Smith, commanding the First Infantry, reported at head quarters about o'clock in the after noon. He stated that the First was in excellent shape and was ready to go to the front.
 Among the Governors staff who were at headquarters during the afternoon were Lieutenant Colonels Bush, San born, Howell and Young, and in addi- ton to these Lieutenant Colonel Geary, retired, and Major Harney, ex-assistant adjutant general and present Harbor Commissioner, also called upon the ad- tutant general to see if their services might be needed.
 The Governor was closeted through out the afternoon with many of the officers who called, but these confer ences were entirely private.

FIRST INFANTRY,
 PASS IN REVIBW.'' ''
Mimic Warfare for Two Hours at Mechanics
 Pavilion.

It was mimic war at the Pavilion for two hours last evening, for the First Infantry, N. c. C., was giving a drill for the benefit of it's new rifle range, or, if it be called out, to help equip the men.
 The First was there will full ranks and nearly nine hundred strong; the signal corps, the cavalry troop, the sanitary corps and two guns from the Naval Militia To stirring music the column moved past the reviewing stand, where Governor Budd, Major General Dickinson and Brigadier-G Gen eral Warfield were seated in front. On the reviewing stand were also the staffs of the Governor, the division, the brigade several of the officers of the Naval Militia and Colonel Sullivan of the League of the Cross and his staff and line officers.
 The First was dressed in campaign uniform, with canteens and haversacks. The signal corps was similarly dressed. The cavalry was in full dress and the boys of the Naval Militia were in white suits and leggins.
 Following the review there was a guard mount by a squad from Com pany F, under Captain John F. Mill Ter, and then came a gun drill by the Naval Militia, Lieutenant Dennis in command of the platoon and Sub-Lieu- tenant Emanuel and Ensign Kammerrer in command of the guns. During the drill the signal corps established a station at each end of the hall and sent torch signals back and forth with a dexterity born of long practice. Following that was a physical exercise drill by Com pany K, Captain Cunningham com manding, and then came the feature of the evening, the building of a bridge by Company B, Captain Filmer, an at tack upon Company I. Captain Richter, and it's defense by Company M, Cap tain ONeil, while the sanitary under Major Mccarthy took care of the wounded.
 The building of the bridge was the most interesting thing, from a military standpoint, that the guard has done in this city for long time It was built across a stretch of canvas representing a river over twenty feet wide A squad of sixteen men formed on each side of the river, and stripping themselves to the shirt the men went at it. First the truss was put together, two up- rights with a cross piece bound across the top; then four piers, one at each

STATE TROOPS.
Animated Scenes at Head quarters of the National
 Guard of California.

Bright and early yesterday morning AdJutant Barrett was on duty at his temporary headquarters at the California Hotel. He spent the early hours of the morning in writing and dispatching orders, which are sup posed to have been of an official nature. Early in the day Colonel Bergen re- ported at headquarters, ready for ser vice. He remained throughout the day in constant attendance upon the adju- tant- general.
 Captain F. de L. Darlington, U. s. A, of the First Infantry, arrived at headquarters shortly after 10 o'clock. Captain Darlington, who has been on detail duty with the National Guard, as soon as the relations between this country and Spain assumed their present gravity, wired the adjutant general of the United States army asking to be relieved from duty In order that he might accompany his regiment East. The request has been so far ignored, and Captain Car rington will remain here for the pres ent.
 When the National Guard under the volunteer bill, is called upon for it's pro rata of men, Captain Darlington will doubtless muster them into service.
 During the entire day many of the eX-members of the National Guard called at headquarters to tender their services. Members of the Governors $ staff also reported at headquarters.
 All official news regarding the move ments of the National Guard will come through the adjutant-generaPs office. Major General Dickinson was ordered voc 1aU rn me oil r,~6i se officers to give out no news to the press. This precaution is taken to pre- vent conflicting reports from being cir culated
 The arrival of Governor Budd at headquarters was the signal for in- creased excitement and activity among the officers. His Excellency, as soon as following very important telegram to Washington:
 To Hon. Stephen NJ White. Senate Chamber, Washington, D. C.: Under the present condition of affairs it is a matter " laid from San Francisco to Farallon Islands. Urge action immediately.
 JAMES H. BUDD, Governor.
 The wisdom of this precaution upon the part of the Governor is very ap- parent. The Farallones are the best punt VA fehhlaSe dS d'l outpost upon the coast.
 The Governor was highly pleased oyer the proviso in section 1 of the army volunteer bill as passed by Congress providing that existing organizations of the State militia may at their d;scre tion be turned into service for a term of one year.
 This inserted proviso was the result of Governor Budds telegram to Sena tor White requesting that the National Guard as an organization should be given first opportunity to volunteer in all cases. Senator White was requested

Angel Island, as a military sta tion, may be left without a garrison for a short time. It was ascertained late last night that General Merriam commanding the Department of Cali fornia, had issued or was about to promulgate orders directing Battery G, Third Artillery, comprising the garrison at the island, to proceed to the Presidio next Monday. The order also directs that Colonel M. P. Miller, Third Artillery, the headquarters and band shall go to the Presidio. Exc cution of the foregoing order will lead to the appointment of Colonel Miller as commander of the post at the Presidio.
 It is believed that Lieutenant Col onel Morris and his four troops of the Fourth Cavalry will soon be or dered to the front.
 Regular army officers believe that volunteer regiments will be assigned to duty at posts in this harbor. The artillerymen have all that they can do in caring for the modern guns Troops of some kind are needed fer garrison duty.
 Troopers of the Fourth United States Cavalry, stationed at the Presidio, are confident that orders will soon arrive directing the regiment to proceed to Chattanooga.
