It was & brilliant occasion and the gues were unanimous in their praite of the whole affair. The 400 guests (it was stag dinner) were served with such won- derful promptn=ss and detail course af ter course, and with appropriate wines, that the most up-to-date bonifaces and club- men opened their eyes in astonished ad- , the president of the Ho- tel Association of New York, and proprie- tor of the Gilsey House, is one of the big- | gest-hearted and most popular men in to everybody agrees on that score; therefore when he was consulted on the subject of where the annual should be given, and the luxurious Wal- dorf was mentioned as the most appro- priate place, Mr. Breslin gently but firmiy gave his opinion that, as the annual din- ner had for years been given at Delmoni- co’s, he could not see why this yearshould not find them still true to the old place. Besides, this is Delmonico’s last year on Fifth avenue and Twenty-sixth street, and as business for him has not been of the flourishing kind lately a grand re- union of old friends in his banquet-hall would add much to his Lappiness as a caterer and good fellow. Mr. Breslin car- ried the day, and Charlie Delmonico ave the dear old hotel-boys and their friends a feast which they will always re- member with a glow of pleasure. “You see,” said one of the guests the next day, “‘we not only ate good things, but we heard splendid toasts, witty and logical, thus proving that the majority of heads hold healthy brains and do not serve as a mere rendezvous for hair.”” It was a quaint way of putting it, but then when I thought of the disgraceful Seeley banquet at Sherry’s 1 smothered the laugh on my lips and concluded my friend had been uttering words of wisdom. Crossing theriver on the Courtland-street ferry the other evening were Dr. and Mrs, Charles A. Wayland of San Jjose, looking as well and hapoy as two little robins on a spring day. Dr. Wayland is busy at- tending lectures and important clinics, preparatory to resuming his successful practice in San Jose when he returns this spring. Mrs. Wayland (nee Rucker) is in excellent health and spirits and declares that New York weather agrees with her.

The present session of the Legislature is notable for the fact that it is the first one for a generation bitterness of the old debris joining hands with a disposition to unite and do something for the common wel- fare. Thus, so far, the miners have en- | countered no opposition st Sacramento, | and with Governor Budd heartily in favor of most of their measures there is a promise that the miners will get what they ask. The most important be termed a State mining code containing laws to promote the convenience and protection alike of prospectors, mine- workers and mine-owners. As California stands alone among the minine States in having never enacted such a badly needed code, and as the proposition is universally approved by the miners and affects no- body else, the bill will likely pass about as approved by the executive committee of the Miners’ Association. No opposition has appeared to the request for the repeal | of certain stray obnoxious statutes, The second matter of importance is the reappropriation of the unused $250,000 appropriated four years ago on condition that the United States expend a like sum. The Government has begun the expendi- ture of thisamount, but a doubt about the technical availability of the State appro- priation and a necessity for broadening its purposes to conform to those of the Con- gressional appropriation make a new bill necessary. As the money lies in the treasury the appropriation involves no new burden on the State. As the miners are ready to support the allied measure to expend $300,000 in the deepening of the Sacramento, there is a promise that when the Legislature ad- journs there will be $550,000 avail- able for expenditure on the Sac- ramento and its tributaries in a way | that will .add millions to the value and production of both the mineral and agri- cultural lands of the Sacramento Valley. The other matter of importance in which the miners are interested is that of a liberal appropriation for the support of the State Mining Bureau. There is some serious discussion about this, especially because Governor Budd has recommended that the bureau be abolished and its work turned over to the State University. The miners are generally ready to vigorousiy champion the Mining Bureau, and the friends of the university, who are seeking thing which the | miners seek is the enactment of what may | | in_ which the | and | | anti-dekris fight has not figured.

Its function is mainly to supply needed information to mining men, and with the present revival of mining activity the demand for information is far greaier now | than for many years. The College of | Mines of the university is all right, | the average miner says, but the mining | man genesaily wants practical informa- tion about where, what, who and how, and not science, and such practical information would not be so well supplied by purely college men. 1t is in- sisted that the place for the Mining Burean is the City and the most conve- nient location in it. The miners, how- The Mining Bureau is certainly sup- | for publications or information of every conceivable sort. Dozens visit the library every day to learn all sorts of things, from how much bacon a green prospector needs to the solution of some deeply scientific mining problem. Many more visit the museum, and since the first of the year over 2500 copies of the last report have been called for in person or | by letter. It may interest some people, by the way, to know that there is a great reports of the State Mineralogist. copies of the tenth ana twelith ports can now be supplied by the bureau, in addition to the one just issued, the thirteenth. While thousands of the other reports were dis- | tributed free it is very difficuit to get hold | of a copy, and many mining men are searching for them. The second-hand book-dealers understand their value and when they get them charge from $1to$5 for them, according to the year. The generally credited recent reports that foreign capital, mainly that of Lon- don, is now especiaily turning to the Pacific Coast in search of profitable investment and acquiring a slight preju- dice against South Africa and Australia is encouraging to the industry here and will have a stimulating effect at home whether the acceleration of foreign in- vestment becomes marked this year or uot. That foreign capital had largely and eagerly turned to the gold fields oi tbe world and that agents of California and other Pacific Coast gold-mining prop- erties could find more ready earsin Lon- don ghan ever befors was well known be- {fore this latest report of a disposition to shun South Africa and Australia came along, and this readiness to consider Pacific Coast investments will remain ana grow for some time, for there 1s a con- gestion of capital seeking profitable in- vestment at a time when there is a more general turning to gold-mining than ever before in the world’s history. There is, however, much to justify these reports of mining men returning from London, and to justify the expectation that it is what will occur. The rich South Atrican fields, though they will yield im- mensely for years to come, show signs of having reached about the limit of discov- ery and development, and hence to have reached the maximum of their allure. Only Te- | vestors have been capitalized and the extent to which in- bitten in them are Southern Pacific lines, the railroad com- pauy having effected a traffic arragement with one of the stage lines. The Santa Fe among things which make capitalists con- | s expected to follow suit. servative of investment there. The west- ern slope of North America is not only the richest and most extensive gold-bearing region of the world, but 1t is by far the one having the greatest future possi- bilities in the way of development, and while this is true ot the entire Pacific Coast region it is especially true of Cali- fornia. This truth is recognized by the vest-informed men interested mining the world over,and tbat it will result in an increasing flow of capital thitherward seems seli-evident. A syndicate of Salt Lake capitalists is going to make a determined effort to suc- cessfully develop and work the rebellious ores of the Meadow Lake mines. will be used a smelting process in which the fumes from the roasted ore will be blown through a flus extending 350 feet on a downward incline to the chimney.

In the Rocky Bar drift mine in Nevada County some exceedingly rich spots are being found along the bedrock. From one depression three feet in diametar $638 in dust and nuggets was found and a hole as big as a saucer yielded $263. A new ledge of rich quartz was found last week in the Cadmus mine in Nevada County. The Salt Lake syndicate operating in the Meadow Lake district has now bonded nineteen mines, two more having been secured this week at $10,000 each.

The de- velopment in British Columbia is just a liztle anead of that in Alaska, and British capital is rapidly accelerating it. The gold and silver production of British Columbia was $500,000 in 1895, while in 1896 it rose, according to present estimates, to $4,340,- 000, and newspaper talk is of $10,000,000 in 1897. The Denver Weekly News reports a large number of rich strikes in the Cripple Creek district since the first of the year, and a rapid increase in the amount and value of the ore being taken out, with a promise that the gold yield for 1897 will much exceed that of 1896. During 1896 the Elkton mine produced about $450,000 | worth of gold, and its output for 1897 is tixed in advance at over $1,000.000. In December the gross output was $100,000.

Each was to take half an hour. Hampton led off and spoke for forty minutes, whereupon Thompson protested warmly. “We agreed to speak thirty minutes each, didn’t we,’” said the Governor, naively. “Yes, and you took forty,” replied the aggrieved Thompson. ““Well, that's fair.
