MINING INTERESTS.

Two Delegates Soon to Leave for Wash
lngton on an Important Mission.
SAN Francisco, Jan. Ex-senator TREY
i. Ford and Charles q. Yale of this city
are soon to leave for Washington on an
important mission for the miners of this
State. The last Legislature of California
enacted law appropriating $685. for
the erection of restraining dam on the
Iuba River, above Marysville, in the
foothills. This appropriation was cOndi-
tional, however, on an equal appropria-
ton from the United States to be made by
Congress this spring. Reports come from
Washington that the deficit nightmare
looms up bigger and bigger, and that the
present chances of this appropriation are
not as bright as they might be. So the
Miners Association has decided to send
these two well-known gentlemen to
Washington some time next month.
They will also push what is perhaps
more important to the miners-a bill
drafted on the basis of the well-known
Stuart bill. This measure was drafted by
Senator Ford and forwarded to Frank
Newlands, and 1t will be introduced in
the House within q few days. The main
points in the bill are: Whenever land is
found in a mineral belt it is presumed to
be mineral until the contrary is proven.
At present the burden of the presump-
ton is on the miner. Again, if mineral is
found in an adjoining claim, the claim in
contest is presumed to be mineral. II
mineral is found in any claim, it is pre-
suned that it always has been mineral
land, unless it has gone so far as to be
patented. AT present the law is what the
Land Office says it is, and it naturally
varies with each incoming Administra-
ton. The bill is to place the mining in
terests of the coast in a more satisfactory
condition and in a position which they
are justly entitled to.

MIDWINTER FAIR.
Official Ceremonial Opening of the Ex.

Official Ceremonial Opening of the Ex-
position To-day.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26.-The last day
before the official ceremonial opening of
the Midwintel Exposition has been
bright and beautiful. A great deal OF
work was done in and about the exposi-
ton grounds during the night. The ex-
pertinent made on Thursday evening in
connection with the lighting of the Grand
Plaza proved to be such a success that the
lights were kept going for long time, and
the workmen found it just as easy to see
what they were doing as if it had been
broad daylight.
The hour for the commencement of the
exercises at the grand stand cannot be
fixed to moment but no time will be
lost after the arrival of the procession.
General dickinson expects to be able to
cover the line of march in about an hour
and a half, and, based upon this estimate,
it is thought that the hour will be that OF
high noon. All that will be necessary
will be to give an allowance of half an
hour for the different divisions OF the
parade to adjust themselves, and for the
invited guests to become seated. 1t is
estimated that the exercises will not occu-
py more than two hours time, so that
there will pe considerable opportunity
remaining for the visiting crowds to
make the tour of the exposition.
The award of premiums in the North
ern and Central California citrus display
at the exposition will be announced at ?
p. NJ on Thursday of next week by Mr..
Lelong, California State Commissioner OF
Horticulture.
There were 4.S7S paid admissions to-
day.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 26.-There may be
another battle in Jacksonville on the Sth
OF next March. Articles have been signed
for glove contest between Bob Fitzsim-
mons and Dan Creedon, to take place on
that date. The men will fight at middle
weight for $4,000 side, before the club

Hopkins, agent for both parties, signed
articles of agreement, and went to see
the Duval Club on the purse question.
The club has not vet put up purse, but
may. All depends on how the pres
ent legal proceedings come out. If
nothing is done TO prevent glove
contests the club will put up Il purse, and
will also build handsome clubhouse in
this city, and endeavor to pull off three
| fights every season.
At $3.50 this morning Corbett and Mitch
ell appeared before the Criminal Court of
Records to answer to the charges made
against them yesterday. The case for the
State was argued by County Attorney
Christie and Attorney General Lamar,
while counsel for defense were Attorneys
Cockrell and Hartridge. The argument
was brief on both sides, and at the con-
clusion defendants were placed under
DOnQS TO appear DeIOT6 LHo criminal court
on the second day of the term, which will
fall on Wednesday, February 2Sth The
information filed against Corbett and
Mitchell charges them with meeting by
agreement to fight, and mentions the
seconds, ring officials and club Of
ficers as encouraging and promot-
ing fight contrary to the statute and
against the peace and dignity of the State.
Corbett and Mitchell were held in bonds
of $1,000 each, and Brady and Thompson
in 81, 500 each.
Asking the Attorney General about the
continuance of the case against Corbett
and Mitchell. he said: ''These cases were
continued after consultation with Judge
Christie, County Solicitor, and we both
agreed that this was the best course to
pursue. 1t is the determination of the
State authorities to convict these parties,
il there is any law for it, and [ believe the
law against fighting by appointment
under the statute has been violated. If
Corbett and others fail to appear for trial
their bondsmen will be sued, and the de-
PENDANTS extradited from the States
where they reside upon application of
Governor Mitchell. The case at the
proper time will be vigorously prose-
cuted."

WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.-The action of
the Democratic caucus last night put an
entirely new aspect upon the fate of the
Wilson bill 1t all depends upon Holman
carrying out his announcement that the
caucus action is binding upon the party
whether the bill will live through next
week or not. This is the crisis in the eX-
isteuce OF the tariff bill.
The next three or four days will deter
mine its fate. Before the caucus was
called it was generally accepted that if
the income tax bill was attached to the
Wilson bill it would mean the latter's
death. but to-day, when the proceedings
in caucus became known, those who
thought the joining OF the two bills meant
the death of both are somewhat doubtful
about it.
There are number in the Democratic
party who have no independence, but fall
into line when the whip cracks to make
the majority on one side or the other.
Now that the amalgamated bill has been
made party measure by the caucus,
these nonentities will fall into line. 1t is
certain, in any event, the income tax
scheme will be made part of the tariff bill.

EXECUTION OF PAINTER.
The Work of the Hangmen Horribly
Isungled.


CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-George II. Painter
was executed at S:04 this morning for the
murder af Alice G. Martin. The work of
the executioners was horribly bungled.
At the first attempt the rope broke. Then
the victim was carried back limp and an
other rope secured, when he was strung
up again.
Painter was gambler and murdered
his mistress. He was thorough believer
in hypnotism, ana made the peculiar re-
quest that he be hypnotiZed, in which
state he claimed he could be compelled to
repeat his actions on the night of the
murder. The request was refused by the
court. Strenuous efforts were made in
his behalf, and he was twice reprieved on
affidavits tending to fix the crime on a
man named Dick Edwards. desperate
bearing a resemblance to Painter, and
now under sentence in Texas for murder
ing other women. Last night, however,
Governor Altgeld declined to further in
fere with the course of justice.
On the gallows Painter called on God
to least him into everlasting flames if he
were guilty of MURDER" and asked if any
true American were present he should
hunt down the girls murderer.
