steamer Farralon arrived from Alaska
with about sixty passengers to-day.
Among the passengers were several oi-
rect from the Pine Creek mining dis
trict The reports from that section are
favorable for the future. Considerable
excitement was created just before the
parties left by the discovery of remark
able quartz on a ridge near the mead
waters of Pine Creek, and since the
first rush considerable free quartz has
been found along the creek. The ledge
is said to be very rich, and is thought
to be the fountain head for the gold
found in Pine, Spruce and Birch
Creeks.
Sixteen men belonging to the Stan
dard Oil Company expedition We're
among those returning. This expedi-
ton prospected in the Sherley Creek
district, and a number of claims were
located. The company expended about
S75 900 on the expedition, which is now
returning to spend the winter. The
Dease Creek country, which was
promising camp some years ago, is now
the scene of active prospecting.
TIE Cassion Company have had
large number of prospectors in the held,
and has been rewarded by the discov-
cry of several extensive quartz veins,
which are being developed.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 13.-Chairman
Meserve called the Republican County
Convention to order promptly at 8
O'Clock this morning, but as the Com
mittee on Credentials was not ready
to report, a recess was taken until
IL :45 o'clock. At that hour the report
of the Committee on Credentials was
read and adopted and another recess
was taken until 1:3O p. m, but it was
z o'clock before the convention got
down to business.
The first order Of business at the af-
ternoon session was the reading of The
report of~the Committee on Permanent
Organization and Order of Business
The report recommended for Perma-
nent Chairman Of the convention Ed
win A. Meserve, and for permanent
Secretary D. c. McGarvin
The committee stated that the propo-
sition that the convention should select
its nominees in accordance with plan
based upon what is known as the Aus
tralian ballot law had been carefully
considered, and it was the opinion that
1t would be unwise to attempt this new
mode of convention voting for the first
time in a convention so large as that
now assembled, the plan proposed not
being sufficiently familiar to the dele
gates to be put into operation at this
time.
After considerable debate the report
was adopted.
The report Of the Committee on Plat
form and Resolutions was then taken
up. 1t indorsed the Republican plat
