Congressional Convention.

The Secretary of the Onion County Cen
trail Committee has received several commu-
nications from other counties, all tending to
show a desire on the part of the people in the
several counties of the Third Congressional
District to hold a District Conventien prior to
the next State Convention. As there is no
| regular District organization, with authority
to call a Convention, we would suggest that
the various Central Committees designate one
of their number in the Central portion of the
District, through the means of which an un-
derstanding may be arrived at fixing the time
and place for holding the Convention This
may be done by communicating the action
of the several Committees to the Secretary of
the Committee to be designated to act as a
corresponding medium for the purpose of an
organization Provided the State Central
Committee does not issue call for the Dis
trict Convention in proper time. then let a
majority of the counties in the District deter
mine the time and place of meeting. ana dis
semnate the information through the cores
ponding Secretary.
We would suggest the Yuba County Cen
trail Committee as the medium of organiza-
ton, and that the Secretary of that body, Mr..
l. N. Hudson. act as Corresponding Secretary
of the District. This arrangement will soon
concentrate the wishes of the several counties
upon plan of organization. However, we
would prever that the State Central Commit
lee call District Convention at some central
point, to be held day or two previous to
the State Convention. We are opposed to
the State Convention having any hand in
nominating our Congressman, now that We
have a District created by law. We believe
the Union men of the Third District are ca
pable of selecting a candidate satisfactory to
themselves, and of electing whoever they may
place in nomination We trust the Union
papers throughout the District will speak out
on this subject. so that early action may be
had in settling the question.

SATURDAY MORNING, NAY 14-ls64-
Mil at Pittsburg.

4 proposition has been submitted by Mr..
L. A. Kelly, of San Francisco, to erect a
four stamp mill in Pittsburg mining district,
for the purpose of testing the rock and OBJ
tanning practical working tests of the lodes
owned by the various companies.
The proposition, as we understand it. is,
for each company to subscribe such sum as
it may deem fit, the aggregate to amount to
$1,000. and when the mill is put to work, to
furnish rock for crushing at an uncertain
rate per ton, for crushing which the compa-
nies are to pay one half in cash and one halt
to. be credited upon the advance made to the
proprietor of the mill.
We are not prepared to encourage such an
enterprise where the main risk is taken by
the companies subscribing toward the enter
prise, with bond from the proprietor for his
faithful compliance on his part We realize
that mill at Pittsburg is necessity and
requires the cooperation of every company
in the district able to assist in the enterprise
For the purpose of securing an early move
ment in the matter, we would suggest that
each company interested hold meeting of
their trustees and elect delegate to con-
vcntion of trustees to be held in Shasta on
the 18th Of May inst, who shall have power
to form an association for the purpose of
procuring a suitable mill, hiring Superin-
tendent and subscribing certain amount to
fha fol of tIa fba
association to own the mill and being guar
anteed in the right to have the mineral from
their several claims tested pro rata in prouor-
ton to the amount subscribed by each COM
pany. Another matter for the consideration
of the Convention might be for each compa-
ny to enter into a contract for furnishing a
certain number of tons at a fixed price for
crushing to some person who would be the first
to establish mill and put it into operation
within the district. Let any practical plan
be adopted VIXEN the esponsibility will be
such as to secure the companies against loss
provided their rock to be crushed will pay,
and we will be satisfied.
The facts constantly being demonstrated
that there is an abundance of rich gold, sill
yer and copper ore in the district to supply
any mill or mills that may be erected, gives
assurance that time will eventually bring
that desirable agent into action, but what
we want is one now, and no effort should be
spared by those interested to establish a
mill at an early day. The first silver brick
from Pittsburg in the San Francisco market
will do more towards bringing capitalists in
to the district than a thousand tons of the
best paying ore shipped to Europe
We hope these or some better suggestions
will soon stimulate the several companies to
action, for expediting the work Of erecting a
mill within easy access of these yaluatle
mines.
