Upwards of 10,000 oviners will be represented by delegaies at the Committee Convention of the California Miners’ Association to be held June 6th, in San Francisco, when questions affecting the interests of the State equally as much as those of the miners will be determined. ~ Ahe purpose of the meeting is to devise Means to prevent the Southern Pacific and other railroads from hereafter acquiring mineral lands grants inthis State and to take measures to compel the Southern Pacific to give up such of its grants as may be determined by the United States Commissioners to be mineral lands. The war has been quietly, but vigorously, on for nearly a year, and it is because the miners fee] that they are getting a little the worst of it that they will meet to take council and mature new plans of action. Charles‘G, Yale, a member of the Miners Committee on Legislation, gave a synopsis of events leading up to the call for the meeting. . ‘First ofall,” said Mr. Yale, ‘it should be understood that the Caminetti hydraulic mining Jaw applies only to. that.portion of California drained by the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. It does not apply to every part of the State, : “The miners accepted the law. in good faith, The Debris Commission was created out of it to pass upon applications for the resumption of hydraulic mining, with full power to grant-or deny applications. Only last week the commission denied two applications, showing that discrimination is used. ‘‘Notwithstanding all this attempts are being made to revive the anti-debris contest and to make it cover, not only hydraulic mines, but quartz and drift mines as well. { “The first. intimation. of this new warfare against the mining interest of the State, came to us in editorials covertly printed in interior papers ‘notoriously subsidized,These editorials approved of a reopening of the old sores supposed to have been healed. They appeared firat in one paper, then in another, until recently they have loomed up in almost every subsidized paper published in the interior of the State.” The Miners’ Association trace these editorial attacks to the press «department of the Southern Pacific Company, and claim that-the railroad is seeking to be revenged for the efforts the dssociation is making to recover the mineral lands of the State, Several millions of acres are now held by the Southern Pacific Company in this State as agricultural lands under Government grants, It is claimed by the association that at least several hundred thousands of these acres are really mineral lands which the railroads is not legally entitled to possess, When the Government gave grants to the railroad mineral lands were expressly excepted therefrom. Last year the railroad acquired over 350,000 acres—nearly all of which ismineral land, It will be proposed to have the United States Government to classify the lands sought to be patented by the railroad, so as to eliminate the mineral lands, and in this connection to appoint commissions to deter— mine what the—railroad should have and should not have under the law. Delegates will be elected in every mining county in the State, and Nevada county is expected to send down thirty or forty. A, Tregidgo and Major J. S. MoBride have been selected as delegates at large from this county, The list of county ‘delegates’ will be published in a few days. ais BS So Will Add Another Story. At a meeting of the Masonic Hall Association the other day it was decided to build a second story on the Association’s brick building on Commercial street now occupied by Casper Cohn’s dry goods store, Phelan Sisters’ reasturant and Eph Oohn’s candy factory, to be used asa drilling place and banquet hall, The work will be done this summer, An offer was made for the bulding owned by Robert Simmons, on Pine street, but it was not accepted, lf this property could have been bought at a figure satisfactory to the Association the building would have been torn down, and also that occupied by Mrs, Perry’s restaurant, and in their stead a two-story brick building would have been erected. The last named piece of property will be offered for sale now, the Associatien having abandoned the idea so long entértained of some day seeing an unbroken line of brick structures on that side of the street from Broad to Commerical.’ we Personals.

A ledge sixteen inches. wide was. struck yesterday, in the mine owned by John Graves.and William Britland on the Cement Hill ridge, near Selby Flat, The quartz is yery rich and the strike is regarded by old miners as one of the most important that has been made hereabouts for some time. The property was recently bonded to San Francisco parties, who are represented by L. P. Goldstone of Grass Valley, for $5,000. In early days Selby Flat and the immediate vicinity was a lively and prosperous camp; infact it was quite a village.A ‘intel, butcher shop, one or two stores, two saloons, blacksmith shop, . shoemaker shop and other business places flourished, while the surrounding flat and the adjacent hillsides were dotted with the happy homes of the sturdy and coiftented miners, who either made big pay working claims of their own, or received good wages in the employ of others. Those were the bright, flush times which made California the-centre of attrac— tion for people from all parts of the United States, and even from across the ocean.
Fortunes weré made in that locality, but at that time the mines were nearly all gravel, scarcely any quartz mining being done. It has been demonstrated of late years that there is plenty of quartz through that section, . Ledges have been discovered in different places but none of them have: ever been worked only toa limited extent, owing to the fact that the locators ‘have in most instances lacked tlie capital necessary to properly develop their claims. We hope the'strike made ‘yesterday will prove to be the leader to something larger and richer further on, The quartz mill at the Murchie mine has been thoroughly overhauled and put in good working erder. New battery blocks have been put in, the old overshot water — removed and other changes made that wi facilitate the work of handling and crushing ore, The quartz that is being taken from the mine is of high grade and the size of the ledge and extent of the shoot are such that it is an easy matter to take out rock enough to keep the mill running constantly. Some fine-looking quartz is being taken out of the mine owned by William Holmes, on Canada Hill. The Peard Brothers, James and Thomas, are working the mine, It promises to become a valuable property. + ee Fuel Machines. Light and Frank Guild and John Nevis have rented the building three doors below the National Hotel, and will have on exhibition—-there the Universal Light and Fuel Machine, for which they have the ayency. Two of our citizens kave about concluded to have: the machines put in at their residences, Buried This Afternoon. The funeral of the late Mrs, J. L. Holland took place from the family residence, Piety Hill, this afternoon, and was largely attended, Following were the pallbearers: T. J. Benny, Charles Grimes, J. M.

Charles Marre, formerly of North Bloomfield, died Jast night at the County Hospital, of which institution he had Deen. an inmate since the 15th of April. John Black arrived from Bloomfield today to arrange for the funeral, which will probably: take place from the undertaking parlors tomorrow. —oon Postponed.

These are easy prey for drummers and agents, who even come to Nevada county to tell them tu take the Keeley Cure. But how long will that last? Only till your money is out of your pocket. Then what appears to be a success sometimes proves a failure, So it is with those drummers who travel for Eastern ready-made clothing houses, They come here and take your order for a $15 suit, and make you believe that it will:be made to order, And if you cannot afford to pay $15, they will tell you they can make a suit to order for #8.

Have a mind of your own and don’t be humbugged by traveling agents who have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
