What such a prac | tical and fostering agency can do to stim- | ulate mining and smooth-the way of the he fact that the important matters to | minefs is lllustrated by the provincial de- th a P come before the a ation are mainly | Partments of mines of some of the British | general and familiar and do not so strong- | colonles, which even teach and stake | Iy touch the local and self interests of the S T miners, as was the case when the battle in behalf of hydraulic mining began with the organization of the association late in 1891. That was an issue which every | miner and business man in the counties affected felt a keen interest in. The bat- tle has been largely won and there re- | mairs In this fleld but little more than | the securing of further appropriations and the hastening of the Wwork planned in the way of restraining dams and river dredging—if such a thing can be conceived. These and other matters have for a year been in the hands of committees which, s far as is known, will have but little that is new and striking to report. The mineral lands bill, which affects over 13 000,000 acres of railroad land in this Stat still slumbers in a Congressional commit- tee pigeonhole with a bright prospect of passage at the coming session. This con- vention can help it along probably. The agitation for a Department of Mines and Mining, which this association began, has | become general and an effort will be made to pass a bill to that end at the coming session of Congre instead of Senator Perking' compromise measure, providing for a mere bureau in the Interior Depart- ment.. The entire Transmississippi region | is now actively in favor of the measure and the California Association can again co-operate with its influence in its behalf. The committee appointed on the matter of California exhibits at Omaha and Paris has not met for some time. secure funds for an Omaha exhibit, and if the industry in California is to re- ceive the enormous benefit of an adequate and well managed mining exhibit at Paris | the Legislature must provide the funds, and the convention will doubtless so urge. The committee on mining legislation is another of the committees to report. The livellest convention issue in sight appears to be that of the presidency. Lieutenant Governor-elect J. H. Neff an- nounces that he will positively retirethis | time in spite of the unanimous wish that he remain for a seventh term, and W. C. | Ralston and Secretary Julian Sonntag are lively rivals for the honor. Both have long and ably served the associa- tion. ¥ One of the new matters which is likely to come before the convention is one which has been but little considered by the delegates generally, but which may be of chief importance not only to the convention but to the entire mining in- dustry of the State. It is proposed that the secretary shall be made the chief executive officer in effect, that an ade- quate salary be provided and that the office be fllled by a practical, energetic mining_ man who will give it his entire time. The scope of the association would be greatly broadened, and it would’ be energized in a smkmg way. A permanent headquarters would be opened and made a fountain of information for the Califor- nia prospector and miner and for the Eastern and foreign investor, though in no way advertising or dealing with par- ticular properties. Such a bureau would advertise the California mining 1d at home and abroad in every legitimate way and in no field of human endeavor does advertising count for more than in gold mining. There are a thousand ways in which 1t failed to | | | abroad to set forth the -attractions to i capital, ete. | All this is too paternal-for California; but the field left is wide and long. There | s a world-wide boom in copper mining, nd California has plenty of undeveloped | spected copper deposits. The to the stray promoter and seeker of copper mines to discover. ‘Lhe | practical conditions and possibilities of a | | long list of economic minerals in this | | State are nowhere compiled except in a scientific way, and scattered through old | reports of the State Mineralogist. To take | another illustration at haphazard, there is | | now a tardy but vigorous beginning in | working river bars, benches and beds with dredgers. A little energetic and insistent advertising of the possibilities that attend thousands of acres of such low-lying au- riferous gravel in this State would soon multiply the dredgers. The average miner if he turns his attention that way must chiefly rely for information on the builder | of some patent dredge. Detailed informa- tion about gold dredging is not gathered and made properly available by any agency in this State. Those in thi8 great | State who would use the cyanide nrocess | must work out their own salvation. This illustrates some of the possibilities of the idea which was recently first advanced by | the Mining and Scientific Press. The State Mining Bureau does not enter this practical field. It s pointed out that with such a scope in view nearly every county in the State would have a strong motive | to join and uphold the association. ‘A | State mining exhibit in San Francisco is another possible feature of the plan. | Something of this sort was planned a year ago by the San Francisco Miners' Asso- ciation, but abandonment followed. | Whether now or In the future something of this sort will undoudtedly develop from the California Miners' Association, which needs new purposes in life. The first section of the Register of Mines, to which the State Mining Bureau | is devoting most of its energy, will be | displayed in proof at the convention and its publication will soon follow. This is the one dealing with Nevada County, and State Mineralogist A. S. Coope" has “hastened it for the occasion. Its Hozen or so of pages are wide and give in tabu- | 1ated form a variety of information about 300 or so mining properties of all sorts in that county, including about sixty mills. A map 30 inches long by about 2¢ inches wide will accompany the register and it will show the topography, roads and trails, developed mMhes with reference numbers, water and electric power plants, ete. Tt is in three colors. This first register is issued through a special arrangement, the State Printer being unable to handle | such work for lack of funds. Twenty other county registers are complete in manu- seript so far and will be published when the State Printing Office can do - the work. Each one is revised by a deputy appointed in each county and_ familiar with the mining field. Charles Uren has !revlsed the work for Nevada County after compilation from exlstlnf informa- tion at !Ke bureau. The value of the work is rather lessened by the remark- able unwillingness of mine-owners to | give information about their properties. In Tuolumne County but seven responded, and hence the information given is large- ly that gathered from general report and the judgment of the deputy. The registers g‘tfll be a very valuable convenience In the ate. Osm-iridilum may this year be added to the list of the State’s mineral products. Not long ago Selbys received a request for this alloy if it were obtainable, and the placer miners of the State were asked to seek it. Recently Selbys have received several small consignments of a few ounces each. Whether or not found in paying quantities remains to be seen. Osm-iridium is a natural alloy of the rare metals, osmium and iridium, and is found along with platinum and some oth- er rare Is in Trinity, Plumas and other northern counties of the State. It is recovered from sluice boxes in the same manner as platinum, but it is rarely ob- served by tinguish it from. the black sand which it much resembl When separated and refined the metals bring a high price, but boxes osm- $3ari ounce at used for the Osmium is w as it comes from the sluice iridium I is: worth about Iridium is mainly ints in gold pens used in making osmic acid and for pur- poses where a high resistance of heat is warited, it being impossible to melt the metal by a furnace fire The report: of the California Debris Commission on the matter of restraining dams has met with still another delay. A few weeks ago the engineers compos- ing the board expected that their report localizing one or more dams and present- ing detailed plans and estimates would be in Washington before Congress con- vened. Now has come the transfer of Colonel Suter to another field and the substitution of Colonel Samuel L. Mans- fleld, who arrived from Boston a few ago. Colonel Mansfield will have to art in and familiarize himself with the whole proposition before ini: wholes ore joining in the ————————— HALL OF JUSTICE. Supervisors Make Preparations to .

Axel Carl Engdohl Cannot Be a Citi- zen Until He Finds Out Who Is Governor. Axel Carl Engdohl a native of Sweden, applied to United States District Judge de Haven yesterday to be admitted to citizenship.

The Reorganization Is Not Progress- ing as Rapidly as It Was Expected. Next to the subject of the adjutant generalship of the National Guard of Cali- | fornia, that as to who will be the briga- | dier generals of the three brigades under the next administration Is the one that now is occupying the attention of all who are interested in the possible changes. It is stated that General Warfleld will have at least two opponents for the posi- tion he now holds, and in which he would | like to continue, and that those who | would like the position are Colonel Mac- | donald, late colonel of the First Infantry, | and Colonel J. G. Geisting, adjutant on the staff of the Second Brigade. The plan of reorganization, which at first seemed to progress without a hitch, has within the past few days received a setback. Three of the commissioned of- ficers of Company K, First Infantry, who were not mustered into the volunteer army were asked a few nights since if they were ready to undergo the physi- cal examination which is required under the rules promulgated for the forming of the companies that are to take the places of those now at the front. The reply was that they were not and that not only were they not ready, but they would not go before the examining surgeon. They gave as an excuse for the stand they took that they are still officers of Com- pany K, that neither they nor the com- pany has been mustered out and that | holding their respective commissions they | are still members of the National Guard, | and further that having been elected, ac | cepted and commissioned they have served a number of years in the Guard, and having done so have performed their part of their contract with the State, and that the State cannot create any retro- active measure to compel them to take an examinaion as to their present phy- sical condition. This seems to have run into the ranks and a number of men who are still members of companies, by reason of not having been mustered in the volunteer service, and who had nified their intention to go into the Guard as new members, have changed their | minds and have taken the same grounds that the officers of Company K have. It is said that the matter has been laid before several attorneys, who have ad- vised the men that being members of the several companies of the Guard they do not have to be sworn in again. It is probable that this determination on the part of officers and men will result in the matter being brought into the courts with & view to ascertain what the status of the officers and men who were not mus- tered in the volunteer service is in the National Guard. Last week a few men were examined by the surgeons for Companies B, C. D, G and L of the First Infantry. Arrange- | ments have been made to “examine on Monday night at Callfornia Hall those men who petitioned to be mustered in as Company I of the First Infantry. Durin the past week no petitions were receive from locations where the companies of the Fifth Infantry are placed. There is some talk of suggesting to the board of location now that reorganization is going on that it should provide for a light battery for San Francisco and arm it wich Hotchkiss guns. It is probable that the matter will be lald before the board within a sl.ort time, but whether it will be favorably -considered is not known. Now that Adjutant General Barrett has secured from the General Government the amount of the State’s war claim, the money will be used in the procuring of equipment for the new guard, while the proper officers will secure all that is re- gulred in the line to put the guard in rst-class condition those who are still in it express the hope that the men will not have served out to them the old Springfield rifles which the General Gov- ernment would not accent when the vol- unteers were mustered in. They hope that (:1fle authorities will secure more modern rifles. There is some talk of having the officers of the different companies, when they are all in working order, follow the plan of the United States army, by requirtng them to make progressive maps of the several counties in which they are lo- cate. so that at headquarters thers may be full and reliable informatfon of all places in each county, distances from one to the other, the various roads by which they may be reached, their character and much more information that would be of special value in case of need.
