DUNSMUIR, Sept. 23.—The visiting Eastern members of the American In- stitute of Mining Engineers have been cordially welcomed by the California Miners’ Assoclation, and this evening the guests are resting at Castle Crag, not far over the State line, enjoying | their first taste of California hospital- ity on their way to the annual meeting | in San Francisco. | The jolly party of twenty officers and {members of the reception committee woke up in their speclal car at San| Bonito, in the upper Sacramento Val- ley, this morning, expecting to have | their car dropped at Montague to awalit | the special train bringing their guests, scheduled to arrive there at 4 p. m. A | | report that the speclal was ahead of | | time caused the stop to be made at| noon at Shasta Springs, fifty miles | south of Montague, and the restful wait | | lasted until after § o'clock, when the | | special of seven cars rolled along. A hearty welcome was tendered the | visitors without the formality of set| speeches. The reception committee wore beautifully designed badges of the | | seal of the institute pendant from a| | ribbon, surmounted by a crossed pick | | and shovel, and this badge was a suf- | | ficient introduction and certificate of | | friendship to the guests, who trooped | | down the ralilroad track. The Califor- nians and Easterners fraternized quiet- Iy and quickly. | Rossiter W. Raymond, secretary of | | the institute, and B. H. Benjamin, sec- retary of the California Miners‘ Asso- ciation, quickly met, and then President | James Douglas of the institute and President Neff of the association said | a few nice things. Vice President W. | C. Ralston and the rest of the Califor- {nia committeemen made themselvas agreeable to the crowding ladies and gentlemen. Secretary Benjamin dis- tributed badges to all the visiting party | | and otherwise busied himself with the| guests, who were escorted about the | springs and up the hill amid many ex- | | pressions of delight. That was the time and manner of California’s initial | welcome to the American Institute of | Portion of the Elkhorn and Sacra- | Mining Engineers, ‘With the party from Montague came John Daggett and A.

Secretary Ray- | | mond, who has known the mineral re- | | sources of the West so thoroughly for welcome to California. It was soon found that several dis- | | tinguished mining men whose presence was expected were not with the party. These are three university professors of mining and metallurgy, Heinrich | Rles of Cornell, N. W. is also president of the University | Arizona. Among other well kn men are David Williams of New York, editor of the Iron Age, and A. Thies | of South Carolina. Two distinguished | foreign members from Germany are | seeing the mining resources of the | country. | The party numbers fifty-nine, and with two or three exceptions the men | of it are members of the institute oc- cupying various flelds in the lines of ! mining, metallurgy, geology, metal | | manufacturing and so on. After less | | than an hour at Shasta Springs the | train bearing the special car of the Californians ran down to Dunsmuir | and then on to Castle Crag, where the train will lay all night. Barly to-morrow the party will ar- | rive at Keswick, a little north of Red- | ding, and the day will be spent in vis- | iting the big smelters of the Moun- | | tain Copper Company and its mines | ten miles away. The company and citizens will vide free hospitality. | but a short stop can be made at Red- | pro- | round of pleasure there, and through | the State. | The Institute has held seventy-two | meeting in all parts of the country but | the Pacific Coast since organization in 8§71, and a number have been notable | for interesting trips and lavish hospi- | tality. “But,” declared President Doug- | 1as, “none of its trips have approached this one in length and in delightful and | profitable variety of experience. We are anticipating a memorable time.” ‘“We always expect the most of the attendance at our meetings to come from the general region in which they the held,” sald Secretary Raymond, “and I anticipate a good many mem- bers from Pacific Coast States. The valuable features of our meetings are the papers and discussions and those go promptly by publication to all mem- bers. We have had a very pleasant trip across the continent, with many invitations to stop for visits and expect a delightful time in California.” The California miners do not gauge the importance of the meeting and trip with its opportunities for hospitality and advertising the State’s mineral re- sources by the size of the party upon which the effect is not dependent. Some of the ladies know a good deal about mining and all wish to learn, in- cluding the young lady who asked a gallant Californian if there are any trafls in San Francisco. NAVY MEN THE GUESTS.

VALUABLE TORPEDO GOES TO-THE BOTTOM n Divers Have Been'Searching for It | the Mud for Several Days. SAUSALITO, Sept. 23.—Property of Uncle Sam in the shape of a torpedo valued at $3000 now lles in the mud at the bottom of the bay, and for four days divers have been busily at work trying to recover it. The loss of the torpedo was due to a defect in the rudder at the point, which caused the destructive missile to take an oblique course and bury itself in the three feet of soft mud surrounding the spot where the torpedo boat destroyer Farragut {s anchored. Last Wednesday morning the gunners aboard the Farragut were en- gaged In practice work and sent an 18-foot torpedo out of one of the tubes, set for five feet under the surface of the water and primed for 800 yards. A hundred yards away from the boat bubbles rose to the surface, caused by the compressed air escaping from the torpedo. This showed the experienced gunners that it had taken a downward course. A boat was lowered and a buoy anchored over the spot so as to deter- mine where the torpedo lay. Since then three divers have been con- stantly searching for the $3000 missile, but they are handicapped ow- ing to the mud making the water opaque at every step, and have to poke around with steel rods in the hope of discovering {its location. Lieuten- ant Commander Nicholson is confident that the torpedo will be recov- ered in a few days. O+ 040404040+ 0 O+O+3+0+0+0 +04+040404C+0404 040404040404 04+ OO 4040404 COMPROMISE WITH MRS.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.—Veterans Of‘ the Civil War will participate in the | land parade in honor of Dewey, despite the decision of the officlals of the Grand Army of the Republic not to| order out the different posts. Among | the organizations which have decided | to parade are two platoons of the Medal of Honor Legion under com- mand of General T. §. Peck of Burling- | ton, Vt. Those who will parade will be largely members of the New York: Commandery, but other commanderies | will be represented. All these men are | members of the Grand Army. The Loyal Legion has nominated several of | its staff to parade. There will be two | organizations, numbering 100 men, of | the Duryea Zouaves of the One Hun- | dred and Sixty-fifth New York Volun- | teers. There will be a contingent from the Eleventh Veteran Associatlon of the Clvil War. The Hawkins Zouaves | and two full Grand Army of the Re- public posts have arranged to take part in the parade. Already G500 veterans have decided to parade, and by Tues- day it is expected that 1200, the limit set by General Roe, will have sent in applications. The Confederate Veterans, who had also decided not to parade, are now arranging to have a representation of their organization in the parade.

Some disappointment is expressed by the officers of Rear Admiral Sampson'’s squadron over the failure to provide seats for their use on the city stands to witness the Dewey land parade. As they will participate in the naval par- ade and many of them will march with their men in the land procession they feel that some tickets for city stands | should have been placed at their dis- posal. ADDITIONS TO THE PERSONAL PROPERTY ROLL EXPERT PLATT FILES REPORTS TO SUPERVISORS. California the Only State Allowing National Bank Stocks to Go TUntaxed. Expert Alfred G. Platt filed his report | of personal property placed on the as- sessment roll of this city and county for the year 1899 with the Board of Super- visors yesterday. The total increase over the assessment of last year, he states, amounts to $52,767,554. Quasl publie cor- porations are increased $19,507,859, banking institutions $20,318,602. All this amount is now being litigated in the courts. In 1898 the ratio of personal property to the total assessment was 19 7-10 per cent. This year it is 29 3-5 per cent, being the second highest percentage attained by any city in the United Btates, thirty of the larger cities showing an average of less than 14 per cent.
