The railroad company will pave its por- tion of BEighth street from Market to Folsom with bitumen, thus making the street conform to the pavement now laid by the city. From Folsom to Bryant basalt blocks will be lald between the company’s tracks.

Is STARTING POINTS ORDERED FIRST MEETING OF COMPANY DIRECTORS. Representatives of Twenty - Four Companies Organize and Will Hear From Superintend- ents Old and New. The Comstock mining companies yester- day took their first definite and united action regarding the great project of un- watering the Comstock mines and re- suming operations below the Comstock tunnel level. Twenty-four companies were represent- ed at a meeting held in the afternoon in the office of the Consolidated California and Virginia Company in the Nevada block. These representatives had been elected at various meetings of the re- spective boards of directors. The joint committee organized by electing Charles H. Fish president and A. Waterman sec- retary, and by creating an executive committee consisting of Willlam Bannan, . P. Berrett, George R. Wells, John Landers and Charles Hirschfeld. The committee did the wise and nat- ural thing by taking steps to compile all the reliable information obtainable con- cerning the actual condition of the flooded levels of all the mines and the possibilities of their profitable operation. To this end the superintendents of all the mines were ordered to report to the committee by September 14 the condition of the mines below the Sutro tunnel level when those levels were abandoned six- teen yvears ago. The secretaries of the Aifferént companies were directed to com- plle all the similar information in the past reports of superintendents now on file. This getting together all that 1is really known about the flooded depths will form a starting point and clear the way for further action. The action of the committee was expressed in the fol- lowing resolution adopted unanimously on motion of Mr. Hirschfeld: Resolved, That the superintendents of the mines of the following named companies, to- wit: Alta Silver Mining Company, Alpha Con- olidated Mining and Milling Company, Andes Silver Mining Company, Belcher Sflver Min- ing Company, Best & Belcher Silver Mining Company, Builion Mining Company, Caledonia Eilver Mining Company, Challenge Consoll dated Mining Company, Chollar Mining Cos pany, Confidence Silver Mining Company, Con- solidated California and Virginia Mining Co: pany, Consolidated Imperial Mining Company, Consplidated New York Mining Company, Crown Point Gold and Silver Mining Company, Exchequer Mining Company, Gould & Curry Silver Mining Company, Hale & Norcross Sil- Ver Mining Companw, ' Justice Mining Com- pany, Mexican Gold ‘and Bilver Mining Com- pany, Occidental Consolidated - lllnlngv Com- pany, Ophir Silver Mining Company, Overman Silver Mining Company, Potosi Mining Com- E‘e‘l‘y‘ Savage Mining Company, Segregated cher & Mides Consolidated Mining Com- | | | | | | | pany, Sterra Nevada Silver Mining Compan: Bilver Hill Mining Unton Consol dated Silver Mining dated Mining Company ver Mining Company be, and they are hereby requested to report in writing to this commit- tee on or before the l4th day of September, the condition of the mines of the above companies as shown by actual work the Sutro tunnel level of said mine: and also whether any bodies of ore or indica- tions of bodles of ore e below sald level, and also as to the advisability of pumping out the water from said mines and the resumption of mining below said level; and it is further Resolved, That the secretaries of sald com- panies be requested forthwith to make copies of so much of the reports of the superintend- ents of sald companies since the year 1852 as refer to the workings of sald mines below said level, and deliver the same to sald superin- tendénts as soon as possible, so that sald s perintendents may know from the offictal re- ports the condition of sald mines below said evel. The following were the companies rep- resented at the meeting: Alta, John | Landers; Alpha, Charles Hirschfeld; Belcher, James Newlands; Best & Belch- er, George R. Wells; Bullion, Messrs. Cole and Bannan; Challenge, James New- lands; Chollar, Megssrs. Goodwin and Bar- ry; New York, Charles Hirschfeld; Ex chequer, Charlés Hirschfeld: Hale & Nor- N. W. Fox: Justice, A.

Barret Union Consolidated, Charles H. Fisl Utah, Messrs. Wollberg and Stauf; Crown Point, Charles L. McCoy; Consolidated California and Virginia, Charles H. Fish. Mr. Deal, of Deal, Tauszky & Wells, attorney for some of the companies, was present. Messrs. Kaufman and Barrett represented the San Francisco Stock Exchange, and J. Hirschberg the Pacific Stock Exchange. This immense project, upon which all hopes of the restoration of the greatness and glory of the world’s most famous mining camp now chlefly rest, was thus yesterday advanced beyond the stage of mere talk. The problem has been def- initely attacked, and there is plenty of ground for the faith that the scheme will not end in reports and resolutions, but that the riches abandoned a half mile below the surface when the stock gam- blers demanded immediate dividends will agaln be uncovered and set old Virginia City to humming once mor low Jacket Town Talk.

C. B. Smith, a mechanic, imbibed too much liguor Thursday night and amused himself on Market street by throwing his arms around every woman he met and attempting to kiss her. He w4s arrested on the charge of assault, and yesterday morning when he appeared in Judge Joachimsen’s court he was very penitent and begged for mercy. He was convicted and ordered to appear for sentence this morning. _—e———————— He Used the Whip. ‘William Jones, an old blind mendicant, ran amuck on Market street yesterday afternoon. Jones was armed with a whip, and after doing a war dance, he ran down the street, striking a number of women who happened to get in his way. He was arrested and sent to the Almshouse.

The next extension in contemplation by the Market-street system is that of utiliz- fng the Sixth-street franchise. To this end the company proposes to run an elec- tric line along Sixth street, crossing Mar- ket and running north as far as Post, vhere it will turn east until Montgomer: s met, when it will turn into that street and follow the route now, traversed by the bobtail ghost. Anothef line in con- templation by the company is a sidetrack from Mission street opposite St. Mary’'s College running north to the proposed site of the new “monkey ranch” in Whirlwind Guich. Application for a franchise for this branch is now before the Board of Supervisors, as is also one for a short line from the Fillmore street terminus at its north end to the Presidio along Jeffer- son street. e A New Policeman. Arthur T. McQuaide, a clerk, 28 years of age and a native of this city, was yester- day sworn in as a police officer. Lost His Life Saving Others.
