A WOrkhOrse, but He Will Be in
 the Running.
Mining Association Will Convene in Native Sons
 Hall To-Day.

TOR a week the miners have aben-
 doned hammer and drill to the drift l and the stope and have come 10 the
 city to meet in annual convention ana discuss ways and means for the enhance ment of the mining interests in California And, incidentally, they have gathered to do a good bit of politics, for the fight over the presidents chair of the California Miners Association is a hot one, and the aspirants to the vacancy that will be ere ated by the voluntary retirement Of Jacob Neff are already lining up their forces.
 Upon the matter of selecting presl- dent the association is already divided into three factions-the adherents or Ju- Han Sonntag, the supporters or A. C. Ralston and a considerable number who are urging the election of Captain Thomas Mein of Alameda So far Sonn- tag and Ralston are the only candidates who have appeared actively in the fight, but the announcement was made yester- day that the 143 votes of the Nevada County delegation were pledged solidly to Mein and if this proves true the cap tain may be induced to withdraw his in tention not to enter the lists. As NeVaoa County is conceded to have the power to either elect or defeat, the result of the election is thus far possible of only dubious forecast
 AS between Ralston and Sonntag the wise ones are giving the best end of the fight to the latter. Ralston for a time fig ured as having the solid support of the Alameda delegation, but the fact became known that he was attempting to carry with his own the interests of E. H. Ben janin who is out for the secretaryship, and a number of his supporters have gone over to the Mein and Sonntag lists on that account. For some reason that cannot be ascertained there is a general antipathy to Benjamin among the members Of the association and Ralston's strength has been greatly weakened by his effort to carry him through.
 This years session bids fair to be the warmest the association has seen since 1t came into existence. Nearly every big mine in the State Is represented by either one of it's owners or its superintendent, and they have come down to not only talk but to work for a number of meas ures of vital interest to the mining indus try that have been hanging fire for seY- eral years. a
 The mineral lands bill, now before Gen. miners against the railroad, is to be dis cussed at length with a view to effecting some immediate legislation and the asso- citation is as equally in earnest in its tn- tention to prevail upon Congress to create in the Presidents Cabinet a department of mines and mining Debris dam matters are also to receive due attention and 1t is resolved to have something more than fine speeches result from the years ses- sion.

cut considerable figure in the politics of the session.
 The actual business of the convention will not begin until tomorrow. To-day 1t will be called to order at 10 o'clock at N: s: 6. W. Hall. and the time will be wholly given up to organization. There are numerous proxies to be considered, and the work of the committee on creden- tials will be by no means small task. There are two or three voluminous re- ports to be -Iead and disposed of, and all of this matter is to be cleared away be- fore new matters are even thought of.
 It Is expected that the election will oc- cur on Tuesday afternoon. The selection of Mir. Neff's successor is paramount to all other propositions. Never before has the association taken so lively an inter- est in its own politics. The presidents chair has been considered MT. Nef's so long as he has cared to sit in 1t, and to- morrow when the nominations are made 1t will be rendered him again. He has al- ready declared, however, that under no consideration will he accept the profered honor, and for the vacancy that he cre- ates there is to be the liveliest sort of fight. Sonntag is confident; so is Ralston. Mein has declined to run, but there are many who think that as a dark horse he is the possessor of many fine running points, and he is looked to furnish sur prise and possibly a defeat to both or the working candidates.

CYRANo POSTPONED. The Great De Bergerac Play Set for Tuesday at the Comedy.

Owing to the elaborate nature of the preparations, the Comedy Theater man. agement has decided to postpone the pres entation of Rostand's celebrated play "Cyrano de Bergerac" until Tuesday evening. Manager Ellinghouse has deter mined that every detail of the production shall be as perfect as possible, and ow- ing to a slight delay in the arrival of cer- tain accessories has decided to give the company one days grace.
 Apropos of the title of the play 1t is stated by the erudite that "Cyrano" should be pronounced crisply, every syl- laple being short, the first syllable "Cyr having the cound of "syr" in syrup. It is common to hear the emphasis erro- neously placed on the middle syllable.
