STRICTLY BUSINESS.
The proceedings were strictly OF busl-
ness character, there being no discussion at
any time. 1t was agreed that the San Fran
cisco delegation should detray all the reg
ular expenses Of the convention. including
rent Of hall and entertainment of the visit
ing delegates. The So assessment was
levied merely 10 pay the preliminary ex-
penseS.
r. McMurray. the Chairman, in reply to
inquiries, said the attendance would be
large, probably six or seven hundred mining
men. The Corresponding Secretary had re-
ceivGd word that nearly every county in the
State, except COlusa, Suffer, Glen and San
Joaquin, would be represented. There was,
however, some doubt about delegations
coming from Tehama. YOlo, S9lano, Marin,
MendocnO, Santa Barbara, MERGED and
Humboldt 1t was. however, certain that
tUriy-twO counties would be represented.
Dir. Yale, Chairman Of the Committee on
Resolutions. touched upon the Importance of
having them framed in direct and concise
language. He thought the tendency toward
long, tedious and meaningless preambles
ought to be avoided. He asked for an early
meeting of his committee so as to get the
resolutions into shape before the meeting
Of the convention.
After paving their assessments to Secre-
tary W. c. RalstOn, the delegation adjourned
subject to the call Of The Chairman.
FIRST OF THE KIND.
The Miners State Convention will be
held on the 10Th inst. 1t will be the first
of its character ever held in California, not
withstanding the mining industry is the po-
neer interest of the Pacific Coast and is to-
day one of great magnitude. nOtwithstand-
ing it labOrs under many disbursements.
These chiefly sprang from hostile legisla-
ton and what the miners claim to be the I'M
fair, the unjust and oppressive construction
and misconstruction of laws.
