Tetal During the coming week the International | Gold-miners’ convention, which is to meet in Denver two months hence, will doubtless be enlisting the active interest of California mining men. and preparations for California ( representation will be begun. This conven- | has been so far but vaguely heard of out , and in the absence of detinite informa- on about the scope, purposes and probable pportance of the convention and of anin- | ation to participate no particular considers n has been given to it. However, this has because the preparations for it at Denver ave been inchoate. Within two or three ys the committee appointed by the Chamber Commerce, Board of Trade, Miners’ Bureau 1 other Denver bodies which have taken © matter up has decided upon the repre- sentation, and formal communications will the Miners' Association, Mining | 1e Governor and others in this State. i1ing for this, Julian Sonntag, secre- Miners' Association, telegraphed yesterday to the Governor of Colo- | rado, asking for information about the con- yention. The newspaper dispatches tell that the convention is to meet July 8, 98nd 10 at | Tows of | Association: | new State mining law, which will soon go into effect, were stated the other day by the puzzled Recorder of tne Randsburg mining distric B. Maginnis, who inquired as fol- cretary Jullan Sonntagof the Miners’ “There are so many interpretations of the new mining law, to make it clear to myself and the miners here, will you kindly answer the following questions: “When does it take effect? When am Itoturn | over my books to the County Recorder? How about turning over books in thirty days, when law does not take effect until sixty days? The Rand District is in Kern and San Bernardino counttes, to which County Recorder am I supposed to deliver my books? When shall I stop receiving location notices? If the books have to be segregated where shallit be done nd who shall pay for it?” The problems were referred to Curtis H. L , chairman of the legislation commit- tee, whose construction of thelaw will interest | many. In hisopinion Mr. Lindley savs: “I think that the queries propounded by Mr. Maginnis may be answered as follow “1. The act was aporoved March 27, 1897, and it takes effect at midnight of May 25. No records mude on or after May 26 in the Dis R-corder’s office will be valid. The time within which the District Re- required to turn over the books to the County Recorder commences to run from the date the act ‘takes effect,” which Is equiv- alent to its ‘passage’ in a iegal sense. In other words, the Di: ct Recorder should turn over his books to the County Recorder on or before ne 25 As Rand district lies partly in Kern County and partly in San Bernardino, I think the law will be satisfied by depositing the records with either County Recorder, suggesi- ing the one where the District Recorder’s office is situated, although this is merely a sugges- tion. “4. There is no law suthorizing the records to be duplicated or segregated. The County Recorder in whose custody the books are piaced would be the lawful custodian and ould issue certified copies, although the location in question might be in another county. 1do not see any serious dificulty in the situstion at all, as the deposit of the records with either County Recoraer will make them accessible and fix a legal depos- corder i | itary.” & K. Thornton isstill touring in the mining counties stirring up the mining men to organ- 1ze or strengthen local associations and to give needed support of money and membership to the State sssociation. He has made no official reports, but word comes from wherever he goes that the miners give him and his mission cordial welcome. Heismuch gratified at his success, but Secretary Julian Sonntagsays tnat he has not yet received a dollar in cash, and he painfully waits for the county associations to send in their dues. “The treasury is empty, and we need money,” says Mr. Sonntag. ‘‘Last year the as- socistion’s expenses were $5311. This year, so far, we have got pienty of sympathy but no money, and not much can be done without money. The annual convention, which will meet next fall and cost §500, i ome distance | interest in the same. off, but_there will be calls for money before | then. The coming convention at Denver may require some. I think, too, that the ciation ought to hire attorneys to help out the miners in this new activity which the Sacra- | mento anti-debris people are displaying. It | is an outrage the way those people who have a fat thing spending the money the farmers put up are doing now. The association ought to take the matter right up.” Mr. Sonntag referred to & matter of impor- | tance which some mining men fear is porten- tousof anew fight between the miners and the anti-debris people. Recently an era of complete good ieeling between the two ele- | ments appeared to have arrived at last, and it has everywhere been hailed with delight. If | the war should break out ina new place it will be generally regretted, for the prosperity of the mountain and valley regions, of the miners and the farmers, is largely a matter of common interest. The new trouble has arisen through the late activity of the Anti-Debris Association, the Supervisors of Sacramento County and their watchers in the mountuins. Heretofore hydraulic mining has been the sole object of watchful solicitude, but now for the first time, the miners say, the valley peo- pie have begun efforts to check ordinary sluic- ing and even the dumping of tailings from quartzmills sbout the headwaters of the streams. The Sacramento Supervisors have brought suits for injunctions in the Sacra- mento_County Courts to restrain certain peo- ple in Nevada County from ground sluicing. Itis this which it is feared is about to cause the entire mining interests of the mountains totake up arms. A few days ago the matter was warmly discussed at a meeting of the Board of Trade of Nevada City, which adopted strong resolutions threatening a gen- eral boycott of Sacramento business men if the new operations did not quickly cease. The resolutions recalled the long y, of bitter feeling and litigation, the apparent restora- tion of harmony shown at the last session of the Legislature, eondemned the recent suits as an exhibition of bad faith and wound up as follows: “That we recognize in this suit which has been brought by the Supervisors of Sacr mento County against citizens of Nevada County a new departure in litigation, involy- ing methods of mining which sre perfectly legitimate and alllowed by the State and Nstional Government. This new issue in- voives all classes ot mining, both quariz and arift, as weil as placer mining, to which it 15 now directed. striking at the very foundation of the mining interests of Nevada County, And recognizing as we do the decisions of the courts against hydraulic mining, we will not submit without & struggle to a new step being taken to crush our mining interests and will do everytaing in our power to proiect them. “And be it further resolved: That in the citizens of Sacramento We recognize people who are and should be our friends, with whom we have close relations in business, which this litigation threatens to sever. That we do not believe that the people of Sacra- mento indorse or {n any way support the sction of the Sacramento Supervisors in bring. ing this action, believing that their action was induced solely at the instigation of well- known agitators who have for years mude money out of both valley and mountains by stirring up litigation. And it is no more than right that we look to the conservative busi- ness men of Sacramento to protect their own business interests by protecting ours.” A Testimonial fo Manlloyd. To-morrow evening a testimonial concert will be given to David Manlloyd, tenor soloist of St. Ignatins Church sud Beth Israel Syna- gogue, in Metropolitan Hall. James R. Kelly will preside.

Y., May 4. —Prominent Californians in New York have been scarce considering the inducements held out to them for a hearty welcome to the city. John D. Spreckels arrived in town on Thursday and registered at the Hoffman House. His visit was quite unlooked for by many of his friends here, and as he left town on Saturday evening without ex- plaining his plans or destination they are busy conjecturing. Thomas Fitch, orator and lawyer, with the glow of health o’erspreading his fine face, sauntered down Nassau street the other afternoon and was cordially received by a number of old-time friends. He is contemplating opening law offices in New York. Mrs. Fitch, who never leaves his side, accompanies him. They are stopping at the Savoy. 0. H. Smith of San Francisco is being entertamned at the Hoffman House. Phil Boulo, the all-round athlete and member of the San Francisco Olympic Club, did himself proud Jast Thursday night at the Knickerbocker Athletic Club on Madison avenue. It was ‘ladies’ night,” and Mr. Boulo was down on the programme as taking partin a number of athletic exhibitions. He is meeting en- couraging success in his profession of artist and illustrator for magazines and lithographic engravers. Mrs. J. F. Parr arrived in the city on Wednesday and has engaged apartments at the Hofiman. J. Bloom, a well-known San Franciscan, is a guest at one of the Broadway hotels. Alfred H. Seligman and Mrs. Seligman drove down Fifth avenue on Friday afternoon looking jolly, well and happy. They have very power- ful connections here and a host of friends. F.E. and Mrs. Sharon reached New York the early part of the week. They were entertained at the Broadway Cen- tral. L. Schoenberg is at the Netherland for a few days. Charles R. Grannan of 8an Francisco has been in the city several days. James H. Humphreys of San Francisco is vi«iting in New York. He will remain several weeks in the East. C. H. Crocker is a guest at the Plaza Hotel this week. Julian Rix, the gifted artist whom San Franciscans claim as their own, even though he has been a resi- dent of New York for 8 number of years, is up in the Adirondacks catching the tints of new spring lifeand the fresh, cool blue of mountain skies. 1. A. Josephi, the portrait and miniature painter of Fifth avenue, has recently finished a number of lovely miniatures of lovelier California buds. Among them may be mentioned several dainty minia- tures of the young heiress, Miss Eva Hobart. They are now in San Francisco, and have been greally admired by Miss Hobart’s friends. Mrs. G. W.

Sportsmen of Capital Are Contem- platiog the Lease of Several Acres of Land. “Well, T don’t know,” said Joe McIn- erney last evening {0 a number of friends who had gathered at the popular coursing resort on Market street to discuss the question of greyhounds and hares, ‘“‘there iz ample room for a second coursing park near this City, and I have no doubt that the projectors of such a scheme would reap a rich harvest from the financial re- sults as there is good money in coursing parks nowadays.” M. Traynor, the popular tes merchant and sportsman, acquiesced in the opinion vouchsafed by Mr. McInerney and re- marked that as coursing has taken won- deriul strides in the past two years and has gained numerous supporters there should be at least two well conducted coursing parks within easy reach of this City, as one park can only accommodate on Sundays a certain number of dogs which are but few in comparison to the great number that must wait an oppor- tunity fo run within the inclosnre. Mr. Traynor was also of the opinion that coursing is something similar to many other branches of sport thatare made popular and interesting to the spec- tators because of the opposition elsewhere. Lovez, Kerrigan, Ryan, Edmunds, But- ler, Kramer and several other gentiemen who take an active interest in the sport of the leash have expressed their opinions on coursing, and they all admit that there is ample room for two coursing parksin or near this county. It was stated last evening by a sports- man who recently overheard a convers ticn between some gentlemen who are financially able to assist in the purchase of grouuds for a new coursing ‘ruk. that a scheme is now being hatched with the object in view of leasing a large number of acres of land within easy reach of some of the streetcar lices of this City, and that a beautiful park will be constructed, part of wnich will be used for coursing and part for such sports as football, baseball and ail kinds of athletic pastime: If the parties interested in the enter- prise can obtain a good lease of the land they have in view there is not any doubt that a year hence the coursing iraternity of this City and the adjoining country will have an opportunity of racing their dogs for valuable prizes at whichever park they may select for a_day’s outing. As the sport is annually growing very popular, and as new dogs are being im- ported from the East and elsewhere, it is only a question of a very short time when the patrons of the leash must have a sec- ond ruuning ground; otherwise there must be two days’ racing held to accom- modate the owners of the longtails, many of which'must now remain in their ken- | nels for weeks before they can have an opportunity to compete on Sundays at Ingleside. Doubtless there will be a coursing com- pany organized in this City within a month for the purpose of establishing a new coursing park which will be within easy reach of all courser: HE WAS NOT LOVED. And, Therefore, Jullus Ungemach Turned on the Gas and Lay Down to Sleep. Julius Ungemach of 610 Ellis street had a quarrel with his wife and determined on a short cut to a divorce by the gas route. He went upstairs to an unoccupied room, stopped all the crevices, wrote a letter to bis wife, disrobed, turned on the gas and went to sleep forever. He was found dead at half-past 6 o’clock yesterday morning, and the following note written in pencil in the German language was found on & table by his bedsid My only beloved Helena: Please forgive me for this deed, but I cunnot do otherwise. I love you fondly, but you do not love me. I beg of you only one thing. Take good care of dear Alexander for my sake, and once more forgive me, my only beloved Helena, Bo not angry with the dead. I iove you un- to the last breath and have always loved you. 1 was always oo kind to everybody, and on that account have been imposed upon. Iwould die willingly 1t I only knew that you, my only beloved Helens, forgave me. Farewell, and I wish you everything good, my beloved wife. JULIUS UNGEMACH. The deceased was 33 years old ard a native of Germany. Little Alexander, his son, is only 5 years old. Ungemach wasa waiter in the Oberon beer palace. Coroner Hawkins took charge of the remains and will bold an inquest. ——————— ST. ROSE'S WINDOW. Father Nugent Sued by Bernard Haus- man for Alleged Infringement. Bernard Hausman, doing business as Hausman Bros., has sued Father Dennis Nugent and Thomas C. Butterworth for $1500 damages, alleged to be due for in- fringement of the plaintiff’s right to re- produce an art glass window representing St. Rose of Lima. The window was in- serted in 8t. Rose Church on Brannan street, which Father Nugent recently com- pleted. Mr. Hausman says this window was de- signed for him by the Tyrolese Art Giass Comrlny and that he has the exclusive privilege of using the same. According to his description, on the middle panel there was a large and beautiful figure or repre- sentation of Saint Rose of Lima standing in the foreground of a radiant fowery landscape, bearing a crucifix_in her rignt hand and holding an open Bible in her left hand, her head being surrounded with a golden halo, and two angels hovering over her, holding aloft a golden crown, evidently intended for her. There were many other designs, original and beauti- ful in appearance, to which the plaintiff makes claim of sole proprietorship. These claims were denied by Father Nugent and Contractor Butterworth—hence this suit. ———— Arrested for Libel. H. Windel, s merchant of this City, was ar- rested early Fridsy afternoon on complaint of Marion Torres and detained at the Califor- nia-street police station on acharge of libel. Torres alleges that Windel caused to be pub- lished in a Jocal Italian paper an article re. flecting on his character. The prisoner was reloased last evening on $500 cash bail.

It isa New England plav, with everything char- acteristic of New England life, Mrs. Lotta Coleman has generously do- nated the use of “Back to the Old Home" for this benefit, and is doing all possible for the good cause. She is a native daughter and well known throughout the State. Society will be well represented at the benefit, and will assist in selling flowers at the flower booths, which will be beautifully arranged for the occasion. Rehearsals commence this week. There were 175 men at work on the boulevard yesterday morning, not includ- ing the drivers of the forty-two teams. The macadamizing is progressing rapidly, but it will take a considerabie sum yet to fimsh it. Only $190 75 was subscribed vesterday, leaving the fund as follows: Previously reported.. .. $2, F. H.
