THE MINERS IN CONVENTION
President Neff Makes An Apt And
Vigorous Address
The Chief Duty Of the Timers Association Is
To Prevent Further Encroachment
By Railroad Companies

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 14.-The
fourth annual convention of the Califor-
MIA Miners association met this morn
ing. About four hundred delegates were
present when the convention was called
to order by President J. II. Nsff in
brief address.
chamber of commerce, made an address
of welcome in which he said that the
state and city owe debt of gratitude to
the miners, who laid the foundation of
our commonwealth.
The committee on credentials, consist
ing of one delegate from each. county
represented in the convention, was then
named by the chair, and the convention
took recess until aftersoon.
. An important address CD the association
was made by Jacob Metz. the president,
in the afternoon. In it he dealt with
the subject which mas BEEN giving the
association the most ierious concern
during the year. namely, its contention
with the rairload with reference to min
erai lands. Mr.. Neff's remarks were
vi gorous. Hv told the miners that If
they want to keep this fight and other
wise carry out the objects of the associa-
ntlo they M ust furnish funds.
I'm accordance with the instructions
of the miners convention Uf 1894, con-
siderable time has been devoted during
the year to prevent further encroach
ments on the mineral lands by the rail
road com panies,' be asid. "Ths position
of the association is very simple. 1t has
no fight with the railroad companies
other than seeing that justice is done to
the mining community. 1t does not
want anything which belongs to them !;
does not wish to interfere with any of
their rights; does not desire to obstruct
which properly belong TO them or to
NEEDLE in any way with the conduct uf
their affairs. But this association does
intend If it is possible, to prevent these
companies obtaining title to any more
mineral lands in the statu under use of
agricultural land. AS you all know,
such mineral lands were expressly and In
mad to these roads by the congress of
the United States. TIL. railroad com
panies themselves acknowledge this to
be the fact; yet, by the Ubiquitous system
which had been carried on for years in
the patenting of these lands, hun dreds
of thousands of acres of the mineral do
main has passed from thu possession of
the government into the ownership of
these corporations. This system is still
being pursued, and will DO continued an
ISIS "e nave the power to stop 1t. Tho
heritage of the prospecuor is passing from
tim and he seems powerless to stop it
without assistance.
There is only one of two things for
this association to do it must carry on
this fight to finish or drop 1T altogether.
The mineral lands of California are worth
hundreds of millions OF dollars, and if
we and the people of the state through
apathy or neglect permit them to pass
into the hands of corporations who have
no right or title to them whatever, we
simply make them pronent of SO much
wealth which belongs to Us: and We have
only ourselves to blame lor the conse.
Quences."

THE DOCTORS PROVE
Points To Hurder Rather Than Accidental
Shooting-A Sacramento Killing

Points 10 Tluroer katncr IMAM Accidental
Shooting-A Sacramento Killing
SACRAMENTO. Oct. 14.-About 10
O'Clock tonight word was sent to the cor
oners' office that the wife of William F.
Christ, babrer residing at No. 1914 L
street, had been shot and killed by the
accidental dischare of revolver. 1t was
true that the woman had been killed and
her body was removed o THE morgue.
Christ explained that while he was in
the act of plaong his revolver upon a
stand in the dining room the weapon fell
to the floor and was discharged, the bull
let strikinghis wife in the head.
Coroner Clark and the police officers
who visited the house of Christ thought
the circumstances were rather suspicious,
and Christ was taken lrto custody.
DR.. G. A. White, the county physician,
probed for the bullet and found that it
rangd downward. If the woman had
met death as her husband asserted, the
the bullet would have taken an upward
course.
The face and right eye of the woman
were filled with p WIDER burns, as If the
pistol had been held close to her head.
1t is the opinion of the authorities that
she was murdered.
Ms. Christ was young and very pref
ty woman, and it is the superstition that
her husband was jealous OF her.
