Successful Championship.

WASHINGTON. April a. Represents
tive Dasgett appeared before the Houss
Mining Committee yesterday and mado
an earnest argument against the whole
bill Of the Public Land Commission. 20
far as II proposes changes in the present
mining laws. He supported his argu-
ment against the proposition to limit
locations Of Assure veins to vertical
boundaries by reading to the committee
numerous memorials on the subject
from Western miners and extracts from
large numbers Of Pacific Coast news
papers, all opposing the contemplated
change. He suggested, however, that
In case the committee believed II neoes.
sary to enact . new provision on the
subject Of boundaries OF mining claims,
they might frame Q provision which
would be acceptable to all parties, by
limiting the system Of square locations
to such lodes a. have . dip Of less than
IS degrees, or at most not greater than
80 degrees.
The committee subsequently, took this
subject into consideration and and prao-
tiosily agreed to amend the bill In the
line Of Daggett's proposition. 20 a. to
provide both for the blanket lodss Of
Colorado and assurs veins Of the Pacific
coast.
Msssrs. Beliord and Warner were ap-
pointed Q sub committee to put the pro.
posed amendment into shape, and they
have agreed upon the following which
will be formally adopted BY the full
committee at their next meeting:
"Section 8. That all mining claims
located alter the first day Of September.
1880, shall be bounded as TO the surface
by straight lines. and the right to miner.
ais contained therein shall be confined
within virtual planes passing downward
through straight boundary lines. unless
the dip Of the lode or vein upon q hori.
zontai at the line OF contact with the
virtual side planes be greater than 30
degrees, In which case such vein or lode
shall be limited by virtual planes through
the end lines, but may be followed In its
downward course to any depth beyond
the side planes Of the said location"
Mr.. Belford today stated that ct the
next meeting no would offer an amend.
ment continuing In force the local laws

for many years past 'neto nas NV
been 30 much hustle and activity In
political circles just preceding q munich
pal election in Virginia as exists there
now. In addition to the general feeling
Of dissatisfaction which pervades Demo.
cratic ranks there at the nomination OF
]. @. Curris for Mayor. facts came to
light yesterday which prove ~oonclasivsly
that Mr.. Currie did not receive . major
ity Of the votes OF the convention. II
will be remembered that the votes for
Mayor, a. announced by the tellers Of
the convention. were is for Currie. IL
for Stonshill and 2 for Moore. Fifteen
votes having been q majority Of the
whole number OF votes Of the convsn-
ton (29), ]. @. Currie having. accord.
ing to the count Of the t~ellers, received
that number, was declared the nominee
Of the convention. 1t now appears.
however, that the tellers made q mistake
in their count, as the following facts
clearly show.
In discussing convention matters
there yesterday. II came out that three
delegates to the convention voted for
Mr.. Moore for Mayor. To this fact the
three delegates referred to are willing to
make oath. Now, IL Is asserted that as
one OF Mr.. Moors's votes was counted
for Curris or Stonehill the probabilities
are that IL was counted for Currie. al Ia
shown by the following reasoning :
There are Ave letters In the name OF
Moore, six letters in the naine Of Currie
and nine in the nam Of Stonehill. In
view OF the fact that the names Of Moore
and Currie are OF nearly the same length,
while the name OF Stonehill is fity per
cent. longer than the name OF Currie,
II is evident that the chances that n Of
Moore's ballots was counted for Currie.
instead OF S~tonshill. are nearly all in
favor OF Currie. This admitted, II fol.
lows that Currie received only II votes,
one short Of a majority. It is claimed
by the friends OF Stonshill and Moore.
and generally believed by the Democ-
racy, that II a second ballot had been
taken Stoushill would have received the
three votes which were given to Moore
on the first ballot. which would have
given Stonshill the nomination.
1t being apparent therefore that Mr..
Curris was not the choice OF Q majority
Of the convention. and that he 10 not
acceptable to the Democratic party gen.
orally because Of his opposition to the
head OF the Democratic ticket ct the last
gubernatorial election, q great number
OF Democrats Of Virginia demand that
Mr.. Curris withdraw from the field,
when the City Central Committee can
either put another name at the head OF
the ticket or call another convention for
that purpose. II Mr.. Currie withdraws,
and the name Of q good and popular man
is placed at the head OF the ticket, the
Democrats OF Virginia claim that they
can elect their whole city ticket. II he
persists in running he will, say they; be
defeated sure. aud will also place in
jeopardy many Of the candidates on the
ticket.
