citation held in San Francisco on Tues
day evening Jacob Neff presided and Ju-
lian Sonntag acted as Secretary.
The report of the Sacramento Cham
Der of Commerce on certain mines in

cial committee of the chamber, indorsed
by the body as a whole. The commit
tee consisted of Addison C. Hinkson

Enright and j. o. Coleman.
These gentlemen went to two of the
mines in Nevada County with members
of the Nevada City Board of Trade
They examined the Goding and Goodwin
mines, and recommended to the Cham
ber of Commerce of Sacramento that
further proceedings in the courts be
stayed, and that the honorable Board OF

CATION of the alleged mines, the own
ers of which they deem unjustly en-
joined by the Anti-Debris Commission
After the report had been read Messrs
Sonntag, Montague and TREY L. Ford
recommended cooperation on the part
of the Miners Association with the Sac
ramento Chamber of Commerce. To
this end committee Of three, consist
ing of Jacob Neff, TREY L. Ford and An
drew Corrigan, was appointed to consult
with the Chamber of Commerce of Sac
ramento and consider how the Anti-De-
bris Commission shall be approached in
an effort to induce it to deSiSt in its at
tacks on hydraulic miners.
