delegates who arrived tonight, it is
thought, will also enter the struggle
for the alternative honor as well as
for the permanent headquarters.
President Richards, in his annual ad-
dress to-day, emphasized the necessity
of securing Government cooperation in
the mining industry in the form OF a
shipment of mines and mining He
called attention TO the assistance the
Government had rendered in the distri-
button Of the public domain through
the Department of the Interior; to the
farmer through the establishment OF
the Department Of Agriculture, and to
the remarka ble work already accom-
plished by the new Department Of
Commerce and Labor He asserted that
if the mining industry would give him
assistance It would be productive OF
good not alone to individual pursuits.
but would affect every line Of industry
in the country In pursuance with this
idea he proposed the following resoIu-
ton:
BE it resolved. That the American
Mining Congress, in annual session

arrived when a Department OF Mines

Citizens Saves Institution From


Destruction.
SANTA ROSA, Aug. 22.-Fire broke
out this Afternoon in the Ursuline Con-
vent, and, though the flames were

pupils and a large number of citizens
who soon gathered at the scene.
The fire started in the basement OF
the main building. where workmen
were repairing furniture, and soon
spread to the floor above. Mother
Agatha, the superior. gave orders to
remove the contents of the building
and then turned in an alarm. BY the
time the Fire Department arrived the
nuns and pupils had deposited most Of
the portable articles on the lawn.
Within twenty minutes after the de-
partment arrived the flames were un-

TO about $1,000.
