Pittsburg, Dec. 2.— What is e x
pected to prove the most important
convention ever held by an Ameri
can mining congress met here to
day.
While the sessions were of routine
nature, considerable
interesting
work was accomplished. It was
clearly shown that within,sixty
days congress will take steps to es
tablish a bureau of mines in the
department of the interior; that
plan will be advanced to protect
the public from mining frauds;
that great effort will be made to
prevent great sacrifice of human
life in coal mines and the neces
sary federal and state legislation
will be recommended.
In response to an address of
welcome, by Lee M. Smith of the
Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce,
J. H. Richards of Boise, president
of the mining congress and dele
gates from a score of states made
brief addresses.
A t the session tonight Director
G. O. Smith of the United States
Geological Survey spoke on "D is
tribution of the Nation’s wealth.”
Smith declared that in three dec

uatiou had increased sixfold or
two billiou and sixty-nine million
dollars.

This was laud levied upon to

for $45,000 and the amount of laud
levied upon was 000 acres in Lane
county and 4701) acres in Benton
county. The remainder will be
sold some time next week.
Much of this land contains some
of the finest timber in the coast
and is worth more by a good deal
than it is bringing at sheriff’s sale.
It will be remembered that Mr.
Mahon sued Mr. Rankin for $45,-

several big tracts of timber in
Lane and Benton counties, and

him and sentenced him to serve a

In pronouncing sentence the
judge said to Jacobs; ‘ ‘Since you
are so insistent in violating this

you will get the maximum penalty
prescribed by the law every time
you are convicted and brought be
fore this court for sentence.”

plea of not guilty to selling booze
to “ guilty,” and under a strong
plea from the prosecutiug attorney,
who said Mr. W illiam was not to
blame, but Waddle and that he
had not only lteen put out of busi

and the United States, the judge
fined him $100, which Mr. W il
