HE time of the convention of the California Miners" Assoclation yesterday was largely taken up with the consideration of tech- nical papers that were of espe- clal interest to the delegates from the mining counties. Only one session was held. Shortly before noon a recess was taken that the miners might attend the laying of the cornerstone of the Hearst | Memorial mining building at the Univer- sity of California. President Voorheis ‘was in the chair during the forenoon. The | attendance was larger than on the open- ing day of the deliberations. The first topic to engage the attention of the miners was the Polar Star mine, which has previously figured in the de- liberations of the executive committee of the California Miners’ Assoclation. For- mer Congressman Caminetti brought the subject up by moving that notice of ap- peal from the decision of the Superior Court in the case of Sutter County should be given. The convention authorized this action: by vote. A letter from John F. Davis relative to the Polar Star case was After this the reading of papers was begun and was continued up to the time of recess, Before the delegates left Golden Gate Kall for the day a committee assembled in one of the rooms and there, in exec- utive session, discussed the pros and cons of the reservation of public lands for forest reserves as proposed by the Secre- tary of the Interior and as advocated by the California Water and Forest Associa- tion. In addition to the committee Thom- as B. Walker of Minneapolis, who is known as the “timber king,” was pres- ent. The special committee considering the forest reservations will probably sub- mit a report to-day. Mr. Briggs, an ab- stractor of records from Shasta County, .| is on his way to the city and will attend the convention to-day. He has a mass of statistics concerning the forestry re- serves as proposed in the northern coun- ties. Representatives of Lassen and Plu- mas counties, in which are principally the lands which the Government proposes to set aside in the Lassen Peak and Dia- mond Mountain reserves, may make some representations on the floor of the con- vention. State Mineralogist Aubury attended the meeting of the special committee. He is not concerned in the recommendations of the California Water and Forest Assocla- ticn, which led to the withdrawal of 6,000,000 acres of the public domain re- cently, but it was largely through the action of the State Mineralogist and the Sacramento Valley Development Assocla- tion that the Interior Department was in- duced to temporarily withdraw from en- try the lands of the Susanville district, pending an investigation as to whether timber lands are being acquired on.placer locations and mining properties on over- lapping timber claims that have been at the instance of speculators. It ‘would not be surprising if out of the con- fiict of interests that are concerned in California lands in the mining counties there should come a lively scene on the flcor of the miners’ convention. BUILDING OF FLUMES, The first paper read in the convention, yesterday was by J. B. Tregloan of Ama- dor City, who spoke of the application of electric power in mines of California. ‘W. C. Ralston read a paper on flume construction. . [ Ralston gave the benefit of his experi- (LR ence to the convention. “Generally,” he said, *“i. is considered cheaper to begin at the head of the fiume and construct down stream, floating the timber in the flume. We decided this was not econom- ical for the following reasons: First—In the excessive heat which prevails in our section during the fall our lumber would have checked badly, Second—It would have required the handling of the lumber more often. Third—You would have to walk in the water or complete your flume as you went along, even to the walking board. A new idea to most of us was suggested by the foreman. A low truck was made with axies wide enough to run on-the two outsids stringers, and with this mode we could run our Jumber out and keep a long way ahead with our bents. We immedi- ately laid the floor and used it as a wagon road to haul our lumber with a single horse in shafts, the wheels to the trucks being 10 inches wide, made of a cut of a tree, and with two four-inch by _half-inch iron’ tires. It will Dbe seen from the list of lumber used that our sides were of 13%-inch plank. That is too light, as it should have been made of two-inch plank. The 1%-inch plank springs away from the bat- ten between the posts. If any one contem- plates building a large flume of this descrip- tion it would pay to make a contract with the sawmill to have all your lumber cut and squared to exact lengths, except the bottom plank, on account of bends, to have the stringers sized to the proper thickness and to have all the caps gained. A. M. Hunt read a paper on crude fuel oil He compared the cost of coal, wood and oil fuel. He estimated the amount of .copper needed to transmit 50,000 horse- power a distance of 200 miles at 10 per cent loss at 16,000,000 pounds. The cost of such a line, not including the actual cost of producing power, would be $3,500,- 000. The total charge against the pole line would be $424,000, or $840 per horse- power per year. He estimated that to operate the streetcars in San Francisco costs $840 per horsepower per. year. Under existing conditions, he said, the economy of steam-made power and elec- tric power conducted to San Francisco Is decidedly with steam, the ratio being about 5 to 8 in favor of steam. He saw no reason why crude oil should not be used in forge work and heating furnaces. High priced coke, used by foundries in San Francisco, could be well replaced with crude oil fuel. FIRES IN FORESTS. Arthur de Wint Foote read a paper on {he preservation of forests. He advo- cated the taking of measures to prevent the destruction of the forests by fire. He said in part: All else of forestry can wait. Regulation of cutting; deposition of brush; replanting; reser- Vations for the conservation of water: all the work of modern intelligent forestry will be of enormous value In keeping up our forests, but our present work is the prevention of fires. It is proposed that the California Miners' Asso- clation take the Initiative in the prevention of forest fires in this State. At the proper time a resolution will be offered for your consideration embodying the jdea that your committee on legislation shall prepare a bill and urge its passage through the next Legislature, which shall appropriate fitty thousand dollars, or whatever sum the committee may think neces. sary, for the purpose of paying a fire patrol to put out forest fires. Said fire patrol to be organized and controlled by the University of California through its School of Forestry. Your committee will naturally invoke the aid of the Water and Forest Asscciation, the Sierra Club and the superintendents of the United States Forest Reservations in the State, both in the preparation of the bill and in' its passage through the Legislature, and there is no doubt of their hearty co-operation. Annual reports were received from Treasurer Hendy and Secretary Benjamin. From these it appeared that the associa- tion has $1200 in the treasury, enough to pay all expense. Secretary Benjamin remarked, in submitting his report, that all the money that the miners need for public uses can easily be obtained. ko The committee on resolutions will sub- mit a report to-day snd the officers for the term will be elected. Judge Niles Searls, who had been mentioned gener- ally as the next president, has declined to have his name used. The cholce may fall upon Senator C. M. Belshaw. DISCUSS LIVE TOPIC. At the meeting of the committee to censider the setting aside of lands in Northern California for forest reserves, H. E. Dittmar of Redding, who acted as secretary of the committee, spoke in op- position to the creation of new reserves on the lines now in view. He said that the miners should not interfere with tim- ber interests, only as they conflict with mining rights. That portion of the pro- posed forest reserves extending. into Trinity and Siskiyou counties ought, he said, to be reclassified for the benefit of the miners. He also said that the people of Northern California were a unit in op- position to the creation of the forest re- serves in the north as planned. Attorney General Webb appeared be- fcre the committee as a delegate to the convention from Plumas County. The county, he said, was opposed to the es- tablishment of the proposed Diamond Mountain and Lassen Peak forest reser- vations. Webb also safd that the Board of Supervisors of Plumas County had unanimously adopted a memorial to the "Secretary of the Interior in opposition to the establishment of either of the reser- vations. The miners, he saild, were op- posed to the reservation and the farmers also joined in the opposition. Thomas B. Walker, the “timber king" of Minneapolis, explained that his posi- tion was one not opposed to mining in- terests, and wherever mining rights were shown he stood ready to stand by them. Lewis E. Aubury, State Mineralogist, made the statement that lands were withheld by the Government more for re- classification than for the creation of forest reserves to the extent indicated. Edward Coleman opposed the reserva- tions on the plans laid down. ADVERTISEMENTS. | heaval. obtained from reliable sources that the | REBELS GAPTURE GHINESE CITIES Celebrate Victories by Putting.
