TO PROMOTE MINING.
Particular Reference to the Gold
Bearing Sections of California.

The determination of the San Francisco
Miners Association TO organize a large practi-
cal work of assistance to the mining industry
OF Californ ia is promise Of something second
in impor tance only to the California Miners
Association itself and some thing which should
be heartily welcomed and seconded by every
miner and mining community in the State.
The primary purpose which President Par
sons and the executive committee have
formed is in a general way to advertise the
gold-mining industry of the State. The natu-
raj and expected results would be to attract
more attention and interest from Easter and
foreign capitalists and mining men generally,
thus incre asing the market for mines and
mining claims, to similarly increase interest
and investment in mining in San Francisco
and the State, and to generally create at home
a greater appreciation OF the value of mining
to the general prosperity and a disposition to
aid 1t.
The purchase of one mine by men who will
actively develop it means the expenditure OF
money in a community, an increase IN the i'm
portance of the district, an increase in popu-
lation, an increase in the gold production. the
taxable wealth and circulation of money in
the region, greater proba bic value to ad jacent
claims and so on. The multiplication of such
investments distribu ed throughout the N in
ing regions OF the State means great deal. This
multiplication of investments is going rapidly
on, but it's rate might be greatly increased
and this is the ultimate object of the associa-
tion With the growth OF mining develop
ment will come more branch railroads, more
booming towns and ell that attends an era of
good times.
The San Francisco association is posed
largely of men having broader selfish inter-
est In the general prosperity of the ind ustry
than have the men of any other community.
They are largely the manufacturers and COM
mercial men, who are largely or wholly de-
pendent on the mining trade. San Francis co
supplies nearly all the mining machinery of
the State, and every new hoist or iwo-stamp
mill means that much more business for San
Francisco. So does the coming 10 mining
region of every new consumer OF a CONNER
cial article. These business men, however,
nearly all own mining interests, and SO have
q direct personal interest In the industry as
well. Many of them are practical miners. So
The increase of mining trade provides
effective spur to the efforts of San Francisco
business men.
- This trade depends upon the prosperity OF
the mining regions. and these must reap the
first benefits OF the contemplated local eff
ests OF the city and of the mining counties are
bound up together, and there is no occasion
for the small jealousy OF the city sometimes
displayed The local men wish also to adj
vertise San Francisco as the great depot o
mining supplies for the whole Pacific region,
and in the benefits OF this, too, the country
will share.

The democrats held county conyen-
ton Saturday for the purpose of select
ing delegates to the state convention at
Des IL5ines yesterday. Ten Of the
twelve townships were represented,
Douslas and Oakfield being the missing
precincts. The convention was mild
one, tho only departure from establish
ed usas being in the selection of sixteen
delegate instead of eight to which the
county IL entitled. The reason assigned
for this IS that more than the allowed
numbgl gentlemen wanted to attend,
SO they doubled the number and gave
each delegate half vote. A set Of reso-
lutions, OF which we were unable to
obtain copy, lauding w. j. Bryan and
free silver, and condemning the republic
can party, were adopted. After the
convention, the county central commit
tee met aud elected T. F. McAninch, Of
