members Of the House TO his petition asking
the Committee on Resolutions to set a day

ing bill. He and Mr.. Luttrell believe that
they will be successful in getting day set,
and that the bill will pass both House and
Senate Mr.. Lgttrell says that all of
Pacific Coast Senator'S and Representatives
excepting Mr.. Geary favor the bill, and
will help to secure its passage. Mr.. Geary
believes the bill was designed in the inter-
est Of the river men more than the miners,
and has declared that he Will not support it.
Mr. LuttTell says the fact that the eXecu-
tive committee of the miners. consisting of
50 members, and which includes mining
lawyers like Judge Searls and MessTs.
Fu1weiIer Thornton and Cross. shows that
the bill is satisfactory to the miners.
