SAN. FRANCISCO NATIVES. Some Notable Young Men Who Are Coming Next Week, San Francisco, April 20, 1898.Eprtor Transorrt:—On next Sunday the “boys”—our “boys”—will be. with you and tread the streets of your city. How fitting it is that this annual meeting should occur on the anniversary of Nevada’s creation’as a county ? Forty-seven years ago; by-an act of the Legislature, as I have ‘already stated in this correspondence, she was: granted the.right.to. govern. herself, and-her boundaries were established. At once she sprang into a prominence which she has ever since maintained. The clouds have lowered at times; but, with a resistless energy which overcame all obstacles, her citizens have steadily pursued their way, confident in hope and never letting the darkness of despair enter into their thoughts. Confidsnce—confiience in themselves and in her matchless resources—-has brought about the marvelous wonders that are ‘the admiration of all, and now} in the Satter part of this month, two Grand ;bodies—the G. A. R. and the N. 8. of ithe-G. W.—are m::tng in her capital «city. It is wonderful. For-some time I have had this letter xin contemplation; but I deferred writing it until the time for the assembling -of the Grand Parlor drew near at hand. ‘I wanted to tell you something about -our “boys,” and I wanted to have it swhen the subjects of my remarks were -your guests. The delegation from this city is a most remarkable one. ‘It is composed of men distinguished in finance, in politics, in literature, in mercantile pursuits and in the mechanical arts and sciences. Were Ito nametham all and tell all I know and have heard about them it would: require an extra edition of the Transonrrr. I will be as ‘brief as I can, at the same time doing ‘justice to all. son of his greater prominence, stands James D. Phelan, the honored, honest and beloved Mayor of this city. Personally, I am not acquainted with Mr. ‘Phelan, but I am sure he has not a greater admirer. He isa coming man in the politics of this State, and,should he live, Tam sure that fate has in store for him greater honors than he yet possesses. He is a man of great wealth, but does not ostenfatiously dispiay its possession. He is a very bright man, and is a credit to the State of his birth: Another bright and honest man is E, L. Head. Mr. H. is cashier of. the Spring Valley Water Co., and is also one of our School Directors. In politics he is a Republican. He does not believe in sqandering the public money, so he is constantly on the lookout for steals; and when he finds anything of a shady nature he is quick to expose it. He isacandidate for Sheriff, and his chances look to me to be good. You will find him an extremely pleasant gentleman. Now comes my friend J. F. Finn. Perhaps Mr. F. is better qualified to visita mining community than any of the other delegates. Heis the Bailiff in Judge Coffey’s Court, and I havea sneaking idea that the Judge has been posting. him about.our minés. Else why would the Judge linger so long and so lovingly around Nevada county’s exhibit at the late Mining Fair? Why would he speak so understandingly of “Soggs’.mill and mine?” Why did he take such a deep interest in all that pertained to mines and mining? Many a@ mental memorandum did he make, I amsure, and that-Mr. F.will receive the benefit of them, I am equally as positive. I think I can hear him speak knowingly of “contact walls,” of “rimrock,” of “winzes,” of ‘“upraises,” of “old river beds,” and of all the other him, and your citizens will never regret having had» Henry Martin © 88" their guest. Then R. P. Doolan will be seen. Mr. D:, was up to @ few days ago Assistant Appraiser of this. port. He is also a prominent member of the Mechanics Institute, and in all the business of that body takes an active part. In fact, be heard from in the deliberations of the Grand Parlor. “And there is another, and a dearer, because he was born in Nevada City. He'is my neighbor, living only two and a half blocks away from where I do, and yet I never met him. I refer to F. Hi. Milis. His father-in-law, detective Bee, of the police force here, and myself are very good friends, bat the subject of my remarks I never met to know. I often asked the Sergeant to tell him to call, but he never did. His parents were friends of mine in my early days; but I suppose, like myself, he is too busy to make calls. Lam sure he will receive a warm welcome from bis old-time friends and schoolmates. And Dockery, J. P., he who became famous by reason ot his midnight raids onthe milk wagons, he will be with you. Mr. D. is Chief Inspector of food here. If the “boys” could only induce him to take his elegant and startling uniform along with him I am quite sure that your citizens would imagine that a Spanish .official had suddenly dropped into their midst. It is too gorgeous to describe, but I am afraid his well-known modesty will is the loss, because nothing like it was ever before seen in heaven or on earth. terms made use of by miners, as glibly as though he was born to the manner of them all. It really isan unfair advantage to take of the “boys,” and TI barred from the “round table.” And there will be seen my esteemed friend, Henry S. Martin, the Grand Treasurer. Mr. M’s. heart is as big as . his body, He is a capitalist, and canafford to gratify his every desire: But light under a bushel. As chairman _of the “Knights of the Round Table” he shines in his greatest glory . Of these T will speak later on. Mr. M. was. born in what is called the Latin quarter, in this city, hie parents being French, and he speaks.that language as well as he At the head of the delegation, by readoes English. To know him is to like should not be surprised. if he was dehe is modest, and usually hides his. ri Absolutely Pure ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK. But after : : : This Man . .
