 WERE PROBABLY MINERS.
 It Is believed here that the men who carried out the plot to wreck the Times plant and attempted to destroy the homes of General Harrison Grey otis and F. J. Zeehandelaar were expert quartz miners from the gold districts of northern California. This assump- tion is based on the fact that the men who purchased the dynamite from the Giant Powder works used the names of J. l.. Bryon, Placer county miner, and that of his neighbor Morris, and it is supposed that the detectives at work in the north are trying to trace them back to the mining districts. Burns is now in full charge of the hunt for the conspirators. He has been in charge since Sunday. when he was called into a conference between Mayor Alexander, Chief of Police Galloway, and a num- Der of other city officials.
 It is certain that at his direction the men working on the case In the north are not tagging At the same time there was a show of greatly increased activity at this end following the re- turn of Burns, who after consulting with the chief of police, the mayor and various other officials, forgot the dyna- miting case long enough to address a convention of the American Bankers association. He told the financiers of the work his detective agency had done during the year on behalf of the bank CTS orga ganization.
 PEEvISH BUT SANGUiNE.
 Upon his arrival Burns displayed a degree of peevishness over the publicly given the movements of the men en- gagged in the great man hunt, and of the clews supplied by many who had been attracted by the huge rewards of fered for the capture of the conspira- tors.
 whenever we accomplished any thing up north,'' he said, T always could read all about it next morning in the papers. This plot was concocted and carried out by clever men. and they have been aided greatly by the newspapers which have hampered us in our work
 Burns added that the giving out of information would be stopped at once, and forthwith the movements of the detectives became as much a mystery to outsiders as the present where abouts of the dynamiters is to the po- lice. All Burns would say was that the criminals who blew up the Times left tracks that are both wide and deep and we shall certainly get them"
 REWARDS TOO LARGE.
 He declined to answer questions re- garding the plot. By what was learned prior to the detectives arrival. it Is practically certain the searchers are working on the supposition that the dynamite was brought to Los Angeles in suit cases. If this is correct, and the entire 500 pounds was transport ed in that way, then more than three men were in the plot. Twice that number of men could hardly carry 500 pounds with comfort
 The big aggregated reward of s100,- 900 Mayor Alexander said today, was too large His comment was eliclted by the suggestion that still greater re- wards should be offered. 'I should like to see the sums reduced" he Added
 The city has resumed its usual calm The overwrought feeling evident d. rectly after the disaster on Saturday has subsided, but the precautionary measures taken have not been relaxed in the slightest degree. Instead the council, by means of another emerg- ency ordinance passed today. eighty five extra policemen to the fifty-one
