the important and controlling oreaniza-
ton. The recently formed joint commit
tee, which gave birth to this association
yesterday adjourned to the call of the
chair, and it is hardly likely that it will
be called together again The associa-
ton will now take up the project
This action was taken in accordance
with resolution adopted by the execu-
tive committee on Wednesday, which, in
effect provided that a pumping associa-
ton, composed of the presidents of all
companies which would contribute to the
expense involved, be formed; that the
members of the association act without
compensation; that the association cause
all the water in the workings below the
Sutro tunnel level to be pumped out;
that as each convenient level Is reached
1t shall be thoroughly proSpected; that
the necessary machinery and power be
secured by the association; that the sec
rotary be instructed to report these reso-
buttons to each corporation concerned
with the request that it take action to
carry out the purposes of the association.
That was the condition of the enterprise
at the close of business hours yesterday.
The action OF this joint committee yester-
day was simply another step in CARRYING
out a well-considered and predetermined
programme in which the controlling pow
have already substantially agreed These
powers are the interests of John w. Mac
kay, the Flood and Sharon estates,s Sen
ator Jones, AlvinZa Hayward, Robert
variously control groups of the Comstock
mines and their boards of directors
Within few days boards of directors of
part of the companies will meet and take
action which will be generally favorable to
the carrying out of the enterprise One
feature of the programme will be the en-
tering into joint agreements by all the
companies to pay pro rata share of the
cost Another feature will be the levying
of assessments to raise the money. This
is the way the money will be raised The
agitation of the project is already quick
ening the long torpid stocks into a condi-
ton that will sustain assessing There
will be low priced stocks that will not on
the start rise sufficiently in price to stand
assessments and 1t is proposed that In the
case of such stocks the directors of those
companies shall merely bind themselves
to pay their share of the expense at a fu-
ture time when conditions for raising the
money become more favorable.
This is the programme In outline 1t
has been pretty completely formulated
and it has now been quickly carried out
to the point OF forming pumping asso-

Fooled the Talent.

In the history of coursing of this State
there never has been known the first

eight or ten good short-enders putting in

in the big open stake only one course de-
stroyed the pleasure of the talent, and
that when Liberty Bell sent the favorite
Magnet to his kennel without a color.
Although a heavy fog swept over the
field during large portion or the AFTER
from the grand stand. The only real
excitement of the day was when Deputy
Sheriff caught pickpocket attempting to
relieve a newspaper man OF Few dimes

Big Telephone Poles

The work of erecting the big poles of new telephone system the Southern Bell Telephone company is putting in Is pro- gressing rapidly. As is well known, the wires all through the business portion of the city will be underground, but big poles will have to be erected in all of the alleys and on Morris avenue from which the wires can be distributed to the houses. The poles are 60 feet high and are so heavy that it requires a regular derrick with a team of horses to set them up in position. They are of pine from Fernandina, Fla, and are coated with creosote. Such heavy demands have been made on the cedar forests of the country of late years that no more cedar poles of the size required can be obtained.

Created Much Excitement at the Corner Fifth
 Avenue and Nineteenth Street.

Yesterday afternoon about 3:15 o'clock the residents in the vicinity of Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street were thrown into a state of great excitement by the rapid discharge of a pistol in the immediate neighborhood which brought up thoughts of an attack on Santiago.
 It appears that Cain Rogers and Neil Brandt, two negroes, became engaged in n quarrel when Brandt drew pistol and fired five shots at Rogers, one of which inflicted a scalp wound.
 Officers Hamilton, Disharoon and John- ston were soon on the scene and succeeded in arresting the two men, who were taken to prison.
