of other bureaus are performed and
work done are omitted. They are to
conflne themselves to statements of
opinion pertaining to the matter under

and the Utah light artillery from the

FranciscanS a second opportunity to
welcome returning soldiers from the
Philippines.
Early in the day the streets in the
lower part of the city and on the line of
march to the Preside, where the bows
Win go into camp, became crowded with
people anxious to witness the passing of
the troops, and long before the order
TO march was given, every available
point from which a good view of the
parade could be had was occupied by
enthusiastic people. Flags and bunt-
ing streamed from nearly every build
ing. and many people along the line of
march carried American flags which
waved constantly as the veterans
marched toward the Presidio.
Whistles We're constantly blown from
the time the men started on their
march till they passed from the busi-

Added to the noise of the whistles was
that of changing bells, the firing of can
non and the explosion of fireworks.
Market street had been cleared of all
traffic and it was nearly 10 o'clock be-

was begun as a result of the finds last
week. This vein is twenty-five feet wide
and shows free gold in considerable guam

of wheat are common
