and issued by the State Mining Bureau, has
been OF great benefit to The mining community,
Resosuod, That we recommend that new edi.
tlon with progressive work thereon be brought
out that shall contain more detailed description
OF The mining regions of California.
RESOLVED. That the work and purposes Of the
state Mining Bureau are hereby cordially H.
dorSed by This convention.
WHEREAS, The committee sent to Washing
Ton by this convention teiegraphed Tor 1000
copies or the State report on auriferous grayels,
ana there being only few copies issued,
RESOLVED, That the trustees Of the State Mining
bure au be respectfully requested 10 issue 1000
copies OF said report.
On motion it was decided to adopt all Of
the resolutions, with the exception OF that
relating TO the Caminetti bill, which was re-
served. as 1t was expected that OF the many
mem eTS would speak on the subject.
After the adoption of all Of the report,
with the exception of the portion stated.
Chairman Neff called up the part relating 10
the Caminetti bill.
This was the most important business be-
fore the convention, and II was thought ina
considerable discussion would ensue. But
there was no debate of any kind.
1t appeared that the resolution embodied
the sen timents of all the leading miners
throughout the State.
After short silence the chairman, In an
swer TO calls for the question, put the mat
ter before the convention.
The convention unanimously adopted the
resolution, and thus subscribed its assent TO
the whole report.
On the conclusion of this, the real bust
ness OF the convention, the chairman called
up The question of assessing members in
oroer 10 carry on the fight and at the same
Time pay the expenses Of the convention.
The subject excited considera bic discussion
but 1t was finally resolved to assess each
member 81, all who could afford 10 pay
more being requested 10 do so

where it had TO contend against the intellect
and intelligence of 400 or 500 men.
Il took the best | could get" he said,
and 1t is Illuminated in the Caminetti bill
to-day. In 1t we get recognition from the
General Government. which means a good
deal. Applause Having ACCOMPLISHED
that we Will yet get great deal more.
Il admit there is great deal to object to
IN the Bill. but there is also great deal of
good. We must be patient and what we
cannot get this year we must work to get
next year." Applause
Mr.. McMurray said: 81 have also heen
to Washington, and my experience as a nv
draullc miner coDyinces me that the bin
should be referred to the executive com
mttee instead of having ii absolutely set
tied now. as is done by the resolutions
adopted this morning.
.As it now stands. if we had consented
to accept such bill we could have had il
passed within thirty Gays and saved $4,000
to this association. We should nor have il
decided at this convention. and / wonld
suggest that a committee of five men he an
pointed TO draft bill that would be of real
benefit 10 US. Every dollar expended on
the Camnetti bill is total loss to u.s."
A. b. Dibble of Nevada moved that all
matters. Congressional and others, pertain
ing TO the association be referred to the
executive committee.
Chairman Neff-TherA must be nation
to reconsider the vote of this morning.
j. M. Fulweiler OF Placer, one of the COM
mttee on resolutions. moved that the Cant.
netti bill be referred to the executive eom-
mittee for such action as NAY be deemed
proper and correct, but that any legislaton
tending TO reha bilitate hydraulic mining
shall bear an appropriation to pay for i'm
pounding dams.
81 contend" he said, that the bin as Il
now is contains nothing but what miners
have already perfect right to do. We can
carry on hydraulic mining so long as il does
not interfere with the navgable waters.
That is all that Caminetti's bin tells ns To
do. and it is piece of buncombe."

BIG BANQUET AT THE PALACE.
Close of the Short but Successful
Session of the California
Miners Convention.

The sawdust still remained on the Slip
perry floor of Pioneer Hall yesterday morn
ing, as the mining Delegates came in to take
their seats under their blue banners in or
der to conclude the labors of their second
annual convention.
The seats were early occupied and there
was evidently a desire TO proceed to solid
business.
Among the first to arrive was Niles Searls.
whose Craftsmanship of the political meet
ing at the Palace Hotel the night previous
won for him the title of cha mpion panegy-
rist Of the miners.
He took his seat among the cohorts Of
Nevada and Immediately took out his black
skull cap which he pulled down over his
Aead.
Behind him was Major Mcbride of Shasta,
st.0king his long beard, and nodding pleas
antly to the delegates.
Chairman Neff vas late in appearing and
behind him came the handsome man of the
convention. a. j. Ralston, whose duties as
secretary have been performed 10 a way to
make him endeared to the miners through
cut the State.
The first business in order" said the
chairman, as the report Of the committee
on credentials"
Major Mcbride reported on behalf OK the
committee that he aud his colleagues had
examined all the credentials of delegates
submitted and had found them all correct.
There had been no contests. he said il
was tie sense Of the committee that all
visitors representing the mining industry
and all those In the city identified with the
same association should be allowed to wit
ness the proceedings Of the convention.
Several additions were made to the list of
delegates as published in yesterdays CALL,

The Big Banquet at the Palace Last
Night.

Night.
IL was about o'clock when the miners
and their friends began to assemble In the
maple room of the Palace. The room was
tsstefully decorated with ferns and flowers.
while the table fairly groaned beneath the
weight OF the good things upon it.
The tables were arranged in rows of three,
thus accommodating more than by any
other arrangement, considering the shape
OF the room. There were great number
OF pretty pieces on the table In glazed work.
One design REPRESENTED the coat of arms of
California, and was triumph of the cult
nary art. Other designs were emblematic
OF the mining Industry.
When the guests were assembled, Jacob
Nef OF Placer took the seat of honor, aud
presided over the dinner as master of cere-
monies.
Little time was lost In discussing the
menu.

A LADY ON HYDRAULICS.
frs. Newlands Talks to the Assembled
Timers.

1t was anticipated that the afternoon ses-
sion would be very brief. the only business
of Importance being the election Of officers.
But the unexpected often happens, and so
il proved In this case. There was a storm
brewing and it burst with startling sudden
ness. 1t was all due TO the Caminetti bill.
few minutes after o'clock the sound
of Chairman Neff's gayel called the meeting
TO order.
Secretary Ralston read list of the con-
iributions received. the total being $500. OF
which Nevada subscribed Sl9S, San Fran
cisco Sll0 and Sierra $50.
On motion of Judge Walling of Nevada
ii was decided ID proceed at once with the
election OF officers for the ensuing year.
X. McMurray of Nevada moved that
Chairman Neff and Secretary Ralston be re-
elected.
Mr.. WalliDg moved, in amendment. that
the name OF ii. Pichoir. treasurer, be in
Guided in the motion, which was accepted
w. III. Booth of Placer moved that the
officers be elected by reclamation, amid a
shout of "Ayes."
Mr.. Walling was asked to put the motion,
and announced that it vas carried unani-
mously, which was greeted with great ap-
plause.
Chairman Neff expressed his sincere
thanks for the honor conferred upon him.

TIMERS AS THEY ARE.
They Differ From the Gold Diggers of
Fiction.

II anybody went to the State lining Con-
venton expecting to see rough-looking
set Of men in flannel shifts, with their
pants tucked in their boot-tops, after the
fashion of the traditional miner as depicted
by the Bret HaTte school of writers, he met
with disappointment. The delegates from
the mining counties are a sturdy BLOCKING
set of men, but they dress like other citi-
zens and behave like them. There are no
nugget-pins in shirt-fronts and no big,
heavy quartz jewelry watch-chains. The
nuggets and quartz specimens are turned
into coin in these days. aud the coin applied
as other people apply it,
Henry Martin Of Trinity County is best
known as owner OF the Brown Bear quartz
mine, up on the mountain side at Dead
wood. He was working in Weaveryille for
$40 n month. He had $50 In cash, borrowed
from his rich brother $1,000, earned So more.
and with this bought a one. third interest
with two partners in inc that George w.
Grayson and Mr.. Lambert thought losing
proposition. The mill alone was worth
$4,000. Though this was only few years
ago, Mr.. Martins share Of the profits so far
is over 100000. and lots more to come.
Then there is John MeMurray from the
same county. He and his partner, w. l.
Hupp, have been working hydraulic
claim at Weavervilie steadily for twenty
four years. They take out in clean gold
from $4,000 10 $4,000 year. and it never
costs more than $1,000 a year to do it. But
the claim will be worked out in a year or so
and then the partners will come to the city
and live for a change.
j. f. PARIS of Amador is superintendent
of the Kennedy, the largest gold producing
mine in California. BE has been a most
successful underground manager, and is
president Of the Amador County Miners
Association.
Warren Durham OF Shasta represents the
Igo silver district, owning the Black Prince
aud another claim in Midtown district.
This silver district embraces large portion
Of country west of Igo. The lodges are
about 400 feet apart aud some of them run
to $500 ton in silver.

WELL-TIMED WORDS.
Geary's Speech is Loudly Cheered by
the Miners.

Aside from the election of officers this
prac tically closed the proceedings of the
convention, and it was moved to adjourn.
Delegate Luttrell of Sonoma whispered in
the chairman's ear that Congressman Geary
was In the back part of the hail.
Congressman Geary. in response to the
chairman's invitation, walked 20 the plat
form, buttoning his black frock coat as he
stood before about 800 of the men who
helped to build up California. The Repre.
sentative of the First Congressional Dis
trlct is rather distinguished looking man
with tall form. somewhat Falstaffian in
girth. large round face. suggestive of the
bank president in its Totund lines and
ford hues, and with sharp gray eye, eX-
presSiye at the same time OF the frRnkness
and determination for which he is well
known.
The distinguished Democrat blushed
slightly at the good things Chairman Neff
said OF him in the way of complimentary in
PRODUCTION, and began his remarks in the
way OF the plain blunt man." His speech
was listened to with attention, for his talk
was direct and straight.

but fIrebrand was thrown in the midst of
the meeting and was kept burning fercely
for about an hour and half.
BY this time several Of the members had
taken their departure and the hall was
about two-thirds full.
Major Mcbride arose and quietly said that
there were some things in the Caminetti bill
which were Objectionable to him. and he
dlsapproved of the resolutions brought in
by the special committee and adopted at the
morning session.
Secretary Ralston read the resolutions.
Chairman Neff decided that before any

tlons were carried.
