There bobbed up the plan of preparing for a great California mininz exhibit at the Paris exposition in 1900 with the pros- pect that 1t will be cordially taken hold of. In connection with the great question of revision of the Federal Mining Code there was specifically placed before the miners of the State the question asto whether or not they favor the radical step of abolishing the “‘apex,” or ‘‘extralateral right,”” law, which is a distinguishing fea- ture of the American mining system.

There were no discussions of matters or meas- ures, The presentation of a mavnificent lov- ing-cup to President J. H. Neff was one of the pleasing features of the proceeding: and it was an evidence of the hearty rea ness with which Mr. Neff would be again continued in the offi if his consent could be gained. The election of officers will be one of the interesting features of to-day’s business, and yesterday strong some resolutions to accept another term were being made by bis friends. Should this effort not succeed to-day it is thought that either John McMurray of Trinity County. Nevada, Harold T. Power of Placer or John Daggett will be chosen.

McLaughlin, course of an eloquent address presented President Jacob dart Neff with a large and maguificent silver loving cup, suitably engraved, which was tendered on behaif of the association as a slight token of the love and esteem of the miners and their appreciation of bis years of service und association from its incevtion. President Neff expressea a graceful and feeling acceptance amid applause and then he read his annual address, J. 8. McBride of Nevaca at this point moved that custom and the rules be sus- pended and officers elected then instead of waiting unul tne final day, but the mo- tion was tabled and Secretary Juhan Sonntag read his report, showing the an- nual receipts to have been $3274 29 on Oc- tover 15 and the expenditures $2497 30, leaving a balance of $777 09 on that date. Since then El Dorado County had paid in veras $20, making the total in bond $1397 0v. During the year the executive commitiee held six meetings. I J. Sherwood of Yuba offered a resolu- tion that there be a committee of three to conier with the exccutive committee of the Anti-Debris Association to secure co- operation in urgin¢ prozress on the Cali- fornia Debris Commission. A. 8. Meyers of Siskiyou offered a reso- lution that it be the sense of the conven- tion that the miners of California should aid in every way possible the placing oi a | large mineral exhibit at the Paris exposi- tion in 1900, together with information showing i1he great mineral resources of California. President Neff called for the reading of aleit r from J. A. Fiicher, secretary of the Siate Board of Trade, inviiing the miners to appoint a committee to co-oper- ate with other interests in forming a plan and estimate of cost of a comp'ete Califor- nia exhibic at the Paris exhibition, with theideain v.ew of asking an approvriation theretor of the Legislature. These and other resolutions were re- ferred without debate to a committee on resolutions, which, after a tifteen-minute recess, President Neff named as fol- lows: ). M. Walling, Nevada; J. F. Hal- loran, T. J. Parsons, San Francisco; A. F. Ten Broeck, Ei Dorado; Haroid T. Power, Placer; A. Caminetti, Amador; F. R. Wehe, Sierra; J. F. Davis, Amador; K. Scupham, Alam:da; James O’ Brien, uba. Secretary Sonntag read, as a matter of present intere-t, a short naper in the form of a letter, written in 1884 to the Chamber of Commerce, and dealing with the shoal- Kellog— ! . | statutes of the United States touching | ting forih the plan of oper. Mr. Searls took the platform and in the |- masterly leadership as president of the | $100, Nevada §150, Piacer $150 and Caia- | ing processin the bay and the deposit of detritus in the rivers. Curtis H. Lindley offered the report of | the special committeee on revision of the Federal mining laws appointed at the last convention. Mr. Keyes, who is one of tha trustees of the State Mining Bureau and who has given long study to the subject of mining laws in their practical side presented a carefully prepared report, which was about 6000 words in length. On motion, it was reac by him in full and was care- fully tistened to Ly the convention. tee on legislation, reported tne state of the mineral lands bl and that the un- patented railroad lands in this State amount to 11,596,000 acres. The principal features of State legislation were reported upon. The committee declined toexpress an opinion on the much criticized require- ment of $350 worth of assessment work within sixiy days. The convention adjourned its business session until 10 A. M. lo-day. PLANS DRAWN FOR A BATTLE There was an important meeting of the committee on resolutions at the Marble room of the Palace last night, the follow- ing being present: J. M. Valling, J. F. Halloran, A. M. Ten Broeck, H. T. Power, T. J. Parsons, A. Caminetti, T. R. Wehe, |J. F. Davis, John McMurray, James O'Brien and J. K. Scupham. The most important theme of the even- ing was the discussiou of General W. §. | Keyes’ resolution. His propossi to change the law and abolish lateral rights evoked considerable discussion and will be the theme of battle to-day, the following being the signal for war: In conclusion I have the honor to propose the following as the seuss of the members of this convention: First—RESOLVED, That the existing Tirey L. Ford, cnairman of the commit- | | such conference. | fornia. detail the provisions of a bill in.accord- ance with the resoiutions, and that the bill be placed in the hands of Senators and Hepresentatives, with a request to urgze its passage forthwith. After considerable discussion on the law of lateral rights the committee voted that no action be taken on the proposed resc- lution annexed to the Keyes report ana give the following reasons therefor: Without' expressing any opinion upon the merits of the questions presented in the reso- lutions recommended in General Keyes' re- POTL, your committee recommends non-actio upon the same, upon the ground that the a-- sociation should bend its energivs to the com- pletion of unfinished business already engag- ing the attention of Congress at its request and upon which there is unanimity among its members before proceeding ito the considera- tion of new matters coverng so vasta field of discussion and probable contention. We believe it of more importance to concentrate our efforts upon the »ccomplishment of legis- 1a jon admitted to be imperative.y demanded | than to weaken our »dvocacy of any measure by attempting to promote legislation upon too maoy subjects. The following resolution was recom- mended by the committee: Resolved, That it is the sense of this con- veution that the execuiive committee be ap- pointed at the conclusion of the convention, znd that a sub-committee of three ¢ the executive committee of the Debris Assoctationjand request T tion in urging upon the Uuited Siates Debris Commission the importa, of securing immediate protection againsta iurther flow of heavy material into the navigable rivers by the construction of restraining barriers in sccordance with such plans as may be in. dorsed by the United States Debris Commis- sion, and that said sub-committee report to the ¢xecutive committee of the Miners' Asso- ciation at their next meeting iue result of T .e following resolutions were agreed upon by the committee: Resolved.

But the committee was evidently against this radical innovation and voted against e and The general makes many more recom- mendations that will be fully discussed, among them that local rules and regula- tions be abolished; that Congress bs peti- | tioned to formuiate a complete mining jcode; that patents be simpliied and | cheapened to the miner. In conclusion it was resoived that a committee be appointed to formu late in 1 | the so- | | the president and secretary, together with ing year, and that the secretary be instructed to circulaie same among miners and business men throuzhout the State. The resolution recommending that the miners of California should make a min- eral exhibit at the Paris Exposition was adopted with an amendment jroviding co-operation with other State oreaniz: tions engaged in preparation for said exposition. The propcsition of Secretary Seonntag that the caairman of the comm:tt e on legisla- | on, visit once in each year at least three cities or towns in the mining centers and explain the work of the association, to the | end that the miners of California may be induced to take creater interest and cive | more effectual suprort to the association, | received favorable action. In the evening a large number of the delegates listened to an interesting expo- ition of the cyanide processand its recent advancement by Professor 8. B. Christy of the Coilege of Mines, and to a lecture by W. F. C. Hasson on the use of eiec- | tricity im munine, especially with long | transmission.

Resolved, That his Honor the Mayor be and is hereby re- quested to appoint representa- tiv tizens, not exceeding ten in number, for the purpose of forming an association to be known as the “*City ¥Hall Park Association,”” to inaugurate Proceedings for the acquire- ment of those certain lots Wwhich were sold for the pur- Pose of raising funds for the comstruction of the City Hall. The proposition startea by tbe Grand Jury of the city, acquiring the entire frontage on Market street, from Jones to Larkin, for the purpose of converting the ground into a public park, ussumed a tangible form at the meeting of the Board in the Material of Supervisors yesterday afternoon when Supervisor Lawrence Devany, chairman of the Street Committee, introduced the &bove resolution, requesting his Honor, Mayor Phelan, to select responsible citi- zens to inaugurate steps iooking to the formation of a *City Hall Purk Associa- tion,” having for its purp se the acquiring of the lots formeriy so!d for the purpose of raising funds to construct the City Hail. The resolution was unanimously adopted and the Mayor lost no time in complying With the request of the resolution. His Honor, before leaving his seat in the Supervisors’ chambers, named the gentlemen whose names are above men- tioned. Dr. W. F. McNutt said when informed of bis appointment: “I will cheerfully servein any way that I can to aid in ad- vancing the progress of our city. Iam more than pleased to have for my com- panions the zentlemen whose names 1 have been informed have been selected by Mavor Phelan.” V. M. Bunker, propriefor of the Even- ing Report, said: “Yes, I will serve with pleasure. 1 will doanything in my power to advance the interests of the city. Itis time that our people wake up to the neces- sity of moving forward in doing some- thing for this city that will lift it out of its present lethargic condition,” A. B.

One of the most enthusiastic of thenew commissioners is Regent J. B. Reinstein, WDho has been a strong supnorter of the movement since its inception. In fact Mr. Reinstein was in favor of the scheme beh:re any action bad been taken in the matter. In Irving M.

W. Dobrmann was out of town iast night and consequently had not heard of his appointment. His son, however, said that Mr. Dohrmann was a stanch sup- perter of the movement for a City Halt park, as he was of every p'an for the im- rovement of the city.

The Fearful Increase of Disaster From Small Beginning A prominent gentleman of Brooklyn returned from his vacation feeling in per- fect health. Asaresult he was careless. The next thing was a cold; then pneu- monia, then death. Nearly all physical troubles start with a cold, and this is just the season when it is most easily taken. Some sudden change checks the action of the body, clozs the circulation and lays the foundation of death. Stop the cold in its start and you stop the disease. A cold requires the *stitchin time.” There are many ways of attempting to stop a cold, but all physicians now agree that there is only one sure way, and that is by the use of pure stimulants. J he pores must be opened, the circulation aroused and vigor awakened. Nothing now known to th2 world does this so cer- tainly as Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey. It is a remedy, not a beverage. It has been used for years and is the most popular remedy before the public. Many doctors, clergymen and temperance people indorse it for its health-giving qualities, and it bas become a family necessity. Many unscrupulous dealers claim they have something *‘just as good.”” Beware of all such claimants and secure only the genuine.
