BIGGEST NATIONAL
CONVENTION OF YEAR
MANY TRAIN LOAD PARTIES ARE
BEING MADE UP TO VISIT
SACRAMENTO.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 14.-The
biggest national convention of the
year will be the Fifteenth National
| Irrigation congress that conyenes in
Sacramento in September. 1t is con-
fidently anticipated that the attend
ance- of delegates will reach three
thousand. This is more than double
the number present at any previous
meeting of the body. The congress
will be also the most representative
in the history of the organization.
The delegates include the vice presi-
dent of the United States, members
of the presidents cabinet, senators
and representative in the federal
congress, from nearly every state in
the union. In addition to these rep
resentatives of the national govern
ment, governors of states, Legislators,
state officials and municipal officers
from every important center in the
United States, are among the men,
bers of the same body. 1nere is
not an organization of national
prominence in the country that will
be unrepresented in this great con-
vention. Educational, professional
and commercial associations and in
stitutions will send delegates. No
unofficial national convention in the
United States approaches this in the
broad scope of it's purpose and the
distinguished personnel of it's men,
bership.
Many car load and train load par
ties are being made up in various
parts of the west to attend the cele-
bration. Special low railroad rates
have been granted over all transcon-
tinental lines and the occasion af-
fords an opportunity to see Califor-
MIA under the most advantageous
conditions in the harvest season. A
feature of the irrigation festivities
will be popular excursions for visit
ors into the beautiful valleys of the
state. Steamboat and railroad trips
to great orchards and vineyards la
den with luscious fruits will be visit
ed. California's vast agricultural in
dustries will be seen at their most
interesting stage of activity. An op-
portunity will be afforded of visiting
the irrigation systems of California
anu QUIET SldlcS. 4No ouCh SiidhSC vi
seeing things in the Pacific states is
likely to occur again for many years.
The local end of the events will be
rounded out with continuous series
of charming and splendid entertain
ments. There will not be dull mo-
ment in Sacrament from the falling
of the gavel which calls the National
Irrigation congress to order until the
great convention itself has passed ir-
revocably into the realms of history.
Delegates and visitors will be in
vited to a great 'raisin harvest fes-
tival" at Fresno during the continu-
ance of the congress and attendant
events. The raisin crop will be seen
on the vines and an opportunity will
be given visitors to witness the whole
modus operandi of raisin culture.
This will be one of the numerous
side trips arranged for the entertain
ment of guests of the irrigation cele-
bration.

ROUND MOUNTAIN TO
BE ONE OF BONANZAS

Captain George w. Thatcher is in
town again from Round Mountain on
his way to Cactus Springs. He is of
the opinion that Round Mountain
will turn out to be one of the bo-
nanza camps of the state, and bases
his belief on what already has been
done there in the way of production.
He is interested in the Round Noun
tain Daisy company, and carries with
him little slab of sawed quartz
that shows three-fourths of an inch
of almost solid gold. The Daisy
ground is also rich in placer dirt.
and a pipe line nine miles long will
be completed by the company in
about ten days and hydraulicing will
then be started.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Under
constant and vicious hammering the
stock market broke yesterday after
noon and until an hour before the
close of the board panic prices pre-
vailed Stocks went down with a
! slump and new low levels were made
rapidly. Some of the largest de-
clines were:
Copper, Is; American Express,
10; Smelters, 1-2; Anaconda, 4
1-2; b. & O., 3 IA; st. Paul, 2 3-S;

A short time before the close there
was n slight rally, but the day went
out with the market nervous and
weak.
A Million II Minute.
For a time today John ID. Rocke-
fcller lost money at the rate of a
million dollars minute. Standard
Oil stock dropped upon the earth to
$50 this afternoon, total drop of
so points since Judge Lands render
ed his opinion at Chicago, and a
drop of / 5 points from the lowest
figures reached Saturday.
1t was the lowest point reached by
Standard Oil since January, 1899,
when it reached 434.
This afternoon on the curb the
bidding price was 445 and the ask
ing price 1856, with little trading.
Semi-demoralization took hold of
the stock market at the very outset
of the trading today and nearly every
record of prices for years back melt
ed away in the fiercest torrent of
liquidation, like snow flakes in the
river. All the recently established
low figures, the low records made in
March and displaced by the prices
of last Thursday, and in turn by
those of last Saturday, showed their
vulnerability by yielding without re-
sistance.
The greatest damage was done be-
fore the market opened. 1t was al
most as if over Sunday a days de-
moralized trading had continued the
work of last week and the day had
been lost from the calendar from the
regular market, so wide apart were
the mornings opening figures from
Saturdays closing.
Even the bears felt frightened at
the mischief they had helped to let
loose and the least daring of thsii
,hastened to cover. A rally followed
the first outflow of sales through
their efforts and the belated activity
of "big interests" the trusted pro-
tectors of the market.
But the stand was made like the
stand of a routed army that has suf-
fered immediate damage and hopes
only to get safely away with what is
left. Opening figures alone suffered
to break a dozen low records, with
out considering that the prices quot
ed Immediately after went lower
STILL OF the securities to get down
to low figures, Amalgamated Copper
came first at 73; Great Northern fol-
lowed at 120.

Two Masked Men Participated in
Daring HoId.up at Cobre
Last Night.
THEY GOT AWAY WITH s2,5oo
Ben Gillian, the Bartender, Is Nor
tally WOmded-Sheriff Notified
of the Robbery.

A special dispatch received from
Cobre about midnight last night was
to the effect that two masked robbers
entered the saloon there about 1880
O'Clock, held up the occupants, kill
ed the bartender and got away with
$4,000.
There were ten men in the saloon
at the time, some of them being en-
gagged in playing the games, when
two men suddenly entered the place,
one in the rear door and one in the
front. Each was armed with a re-
volver and each wore a handkerchief
over his face to conceal his identity.
They demanded that everybody
throw up their hands and then lined
each of the men against the wall
One of the robbers covered the
men with his gun, while the other
helped himself to the coin on the
roulette wheel and then took all he
found in the cash register. The
money obtained, they started to back
out and were almost at the door,
when Ben Gillian, the bartender,
made move to get his gun. One of
the robbers was too quick for him,
however, and fired just one shot. 1t
struck the bartender in the head, and
he fell to the floor. The two men
then rushed out and disappeared in
the dark.
Gillian at this writing was not
dead, but is mortally wounded and
cannot live through the night.
Judging from the appearance of
LIE hold-up men, they were graders
from the Western Pacific camp. One
of the duo was foreigner and spoke
like an Italian. There are no Off
GERS in that vicinity, but the sheriff
of the county has been notified and
messages have been sent all along
the Southern Pacific.

News office last evening and stated
he had noticed the Japanese at the
same camp referred to above drill
upon two different occasions. The
first time he saw them was two
weeks ago last Tuesday. 1t was
about midnight, as he was returning
on horseback from a trip into the
country He watched them from his
horse for a few minutes and then
dismounted and crawled behind an
embankment, where he witnessed the
Japs for several minutes.
"They were drilling in platoons of
fours and columns of twos. | hap
pened along week ago Tuesday and
saw them going through similar
maneuvers. I figured that they had
been in the army and were carrying
out practice of that country-that
of keeping in military trim. There is
no doubt in my mind that they were
going through military drills"

HEINZE IN LUCK ONCE MORE.

According to the latest reports
from Butte the rich vein of copper
ore that was discovered two weeks
ago on the Lizzie claim of the Davis
Daily company, is ten feet wide and
assays 6-10 ounces of silver, while
the copper ranges from 3 1-2 to
clio per cent. Arrangements have
been made for shipping at once to
the Washoe smelter The Davis
DAILY is one of f. Augustus Heinze's
properties.
The strike on the Lizzie claim,
which Is believed to be the most i'm
portant yet made in the ground at
the Davis-Daly, was made at depth
of 100 feet. A drift has been started
east and west of the point of inter-
section. While not so large vein
as the one in the original crosscnt,
the new find is impact and rich.

ROCKEFELLER TO AID THAw.
Rumor Says That He Will, for Old
Tiv,es' Sake.

Pittsbllrg, Oct. Persistent rumors
are in circulation here that John ID.
Rockefeller has offered to place at the
disposal of Mrs. William Thaw what
ever ready money she may need in the
coming trial OF Harry Kendall ThaW
for killing Stanford White. Mrs. ThaW,
it is we'll known, has been hard pressed
for ready money, so much so that she
was forced to mortgage Lyndhurst, her
old home, and to dispose of some VAL
liable coal lands which the family had
never intended to sell.
Mr.. Rockefeller, and William ThaW,
the father of Harry, were intimate
friends On account of this friendship,
as the story goes here. Mr.. Rockefeller
has offered to advance whatever mon
ey may be needed in the present crisis.
The Thaw family still has it enormous
fortune, but the heavy drain of the last
trial has left them short of ready
money, and MIR. Rockefeller. 1t Is said,
is willing to lend Mrs. ThaW what she
needs.
At the office of the Thaw estate
yesterday afternoon, no statement was
obtainabe on the subject.

expense of the other. Whoever
