vene In the cities of Deadwood and Lead,
state of South Dakota, at 10 o'clock a. m.
Monday, September 7. 1903, and continue
thereafter the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th Bnd 12th.
The purpose of this organization is to
advance the mining and metallurgical In
dustries In all their various branches within
the United States. To assist In bringing
about a more perfect co-operation between
the government of the United States and
the development of mining and metallurgy:
to encourage education In practical and

dissemination of selentltlc information In
relation to mining, metallurgy and their
allied InduHtrles; to acquire and disseminate
trustworthy Information bearing upon the
development of the metallic and nonme
tallic mining resources of the United States;
to promote a more co-operative tendency
in the evolution of agriculture, mining,
manufacturing, tranawtaJlon and com
merce, and for the pnrtrcular purpose of
bringing the mining men of the United
States into closer relation with one an
other and of promoting a friendly feeling
for one another through social Intercourse
and the discussion of mutual Interests.
At the last session of the mining congress,
held at Butte, Mont., September, 19H2, the
name of this organization was changed
from "The International Mining Congress"
to "The American Mining Congress." A
special committee prepared and submitted
to the congress a provisional constitution
and bylaws which, under instructions from
the mining congress have been perfected
and are now in shape for action by the
concress. Everything pertaining to the re
organization of the congress has been given
careful consideration by the executive com
mittee and the congress Is now In a strong
healthful condition.
The constitution provides for four classes
of members, active, life, associate and
honorary. Anv person actively associated
with miring who after his application shall
have been approved by the committee on
membership shall pay the initiation fee of

congress. Thereafter he shall pay in ad
vance an annual fee of $2, and any person
entitled to active membership may, upon
the pavment of $50, become a life member,
thereafter being exempt from the payment
Anv person actively associated with min
ing may, with the approval of the member
ship committee ana upuu mo .
per annum, become an associate member.
This will entitle him to attend the sessions
r. nortlnlnnte In the deliberations of the
congress, but he will not be entitled to vote
or hold onice. , . . .
Honorarv members may be elected at any
regular meeting of the congress upon the
recommendation of the committee on mem
bership and the approval of the board of
dlThe0constitutlon further provides that no
person complying with these requirements
shall be denied membership. These pro
visions are sucn tnai any one wnu
ested In mining may attend the meetings
of the congress and become a member If
desired.

the federal building, met with a serious ac
cident yesterday morning, resulting In the
breaking of several bones of his left foot.
A large coping stone had been lifted nearly
Into its place by the derrick on the top

the stone, causing It 'to fall about a foot
nd a half, striking Seholbeln on the foot.
The stone weighed about 1,600 pounds. It

Heavy Rain In Montana.
BIO TIMBER, Mont., June 17. The dam
age from the heavy rain between here and

Oliver Bassett of Park City, lost about
250 head of sheep. The sheep shearing
pens were swept away. Traffic has been

Roar Warned the People.
LEXINGTON, Ore., June 17. At this
point the roaring of tho Heppner cloud
burst was heard some time In advance
of Its arrival. In consequence no lives
were lost and the property loss is confined
to buildings.
The largest individual loser Is probably
George Hill, a rancher. All his posses
sions were destroyed, except the ground
on which his dwelling stood. His stock,
cattle, horses, hogs, wagons, house and
furniture were all caught in the rising tor
rent and swept down tho valley.
While the flood was not as high as at
Heppner the surface of Wrlllow creek rose
fifteen feet above its normal level.
The Methodist church was lifted tip.
twisted around and then swept like a
giant cannon ball against the Congrega
tional church, a thousand feet away. Both
places of worship were completely wrecked.
Immediately after the pussage of the water
rescue parties were organized to aid the
stricken citizens of Heppner.
The first parties, which made a rapid
Journey from Lexington to Heppner, found
in their hurried search six bodies. There
are undoubtedly more bodies In the piles
of wreckage above the town.
It will be Impossible to search all this
wreckage and many of the bodies will
probably never be recovered.
Former Estimates Too Ulan.
HEPPNER, Ore., June 17. The confusion
has been so great here that no accurate
estimate of the number of lives lost by the
flood could be made, nnd It Is believed that
all estimates sent out heretofore have been
too high.
Last night 130 bodies had been recovered,
and it la believed that the total number
of dead will not exceod 200.
Many men declare they will never live
In the town again and are imploring their
families to desert the place. This hyster
ical feell.tg ilot-s not weaken, and it Is ex
pected that 'lightly refuge will be sought
for some time in tho public buildings and
churches, which stand well up on the hill.
An official estimate made this morning
shows sixty people are missing and un
doubtedly lost. This Is an tddltion to
about 13(r bodies already recovered, making
a total death list of approximately 200.

the postmaster. When Towers replied:
"Shall I report to General Heath that you
refuse to give him the information?" to
which the cashier replied that he waa
tinder no obligations to take orders from
Towers or communicate with the depart
ment through him, but would write a state
ment and deliver it to the acting postmas
ter (the postmaster having left the build
ing); that Towers then made an effort to
telephone the first assistant postmaster gen
eral, without effect; that Towers then said
he was in General Heath's room at the de
partment when Smith called and said he
could not get his money; that General
Heath then called up the S and A division
and was Informed that no further authority
was needed and told him (Towers) to go
down with Smith and see why he could
not get his pay.
The cashier reported that Towers was
under the influence of liquor and disposed
to be abusive.
Traveling Expenses High.
Attention Is next called by tha Inspector
to certain vouchers, authorised to be paid
by the first assistant postmaster general.
such ss July 22. 1898, of Perry 8. Heath
and George W. Beavers, Incurred In visit
ing Philadelphia and New York on official
business, $ii7.2S; September 30, expenses of
George W. Beavers, traveling on official
business, $17.75, July 26; expenses of N. W.
Louis and Blain W. Taylor, traveling on
Official business, $00 15. The Inspector states
that these vouchers do not appear to have
been Itemized In the proper manner.
Attention is called to seven cleaners
placed on the pay roll under authority of
the first assistant postmaster general.
Neither the postmaster nor any one else
was able to give any information as to
where they were employed or the nature
of their work.
When the cashier of the Washington post-
office, on letters from the comptroller, sus
pended payments to certain persons he
was required to continue these payments
upon direct written order of the postmas
ter, who states he was verbally Instructed
by the first assistant postmaster general.
la conclusion the Inspector says the files
of the cashier's office show full, direct snd
positive orders from superior authority for
the disbursement of all the questionable
Items mentioned; that the responsibility for
the many Illegal appointments, the pay
ment nf two salaries to one person and the
disbursement of thousands of dollars for
which practically no service was performed
should be placed where It properly belongs
and the many abuses corrected.
Charwomen Personal Appointments.
Reference Is mads to discovery of the
names of three charwomen whose duties
tho station superintendents did not know,
snd It is added:
Mr. Beavers, chief of the and A divi
sion, requested the inspector to Inform the
Inspector In charge that when he struck the
names of the charwomen of the stations It
would be well not to mention them in his
report, as they were personal appointments
of the postmaster general nnd their ap
pointment had been authorised bf the de
partment and they had been only tem
porarily assigned to the stations until they
could be assigned elsewhere.
A letter from the comptroller says It
seems receipts were signed in blank by
persons on the payroll and says the exist
ence of such a practice would make receipts
of little value. Voucher 4, John E. Stanton,
Is for six days, while It appears this car
rier actually served only one day, but
signed for five other carriers.
The report of Inspector Little on the In
vestigation of the Washington office dated
July 31, 1900, says thRt a number of clerks
were added to the rolls without request of
the postmaster and that the postmaster
states that, at times It has been difficult to
find employment for all assigned to his
rolls. The aggregate salaries paid to those
not connected with the office amounted to
$1U00.
Charles Emory Smith, rtferrlng to the
dual compensation of O. IT. Smith, says It
was the opinion of the department that any
employe receiving $2,600 or lees could be
paid compensation on two different rolls,
but the technical Irregularity waa discon
tinued as soon as the comptroller of the
treasury called attention to It. Concern
ing the vouchers for expenses of Beavers,
Heath snd others the necessity for the ex
penditure of the money by the Washington
office being questioned, Mr. Smith says the
vouchers were furnished where possible snd
the entire account regularly sworn to. Ho
defends certain alleged irregular appoint
ments and says the postmaster should have
detailed the persons to duty. It was the
postmaster's duty to provide employment
for the cleaners appointed or to report to
the department that there was no employ
ment for them.
