OF Mining Stock Board met again yesterday,
Mr.. S. ". King in the chair. There were sew
cral present who are interested in the project
Two hours were spent in discussion. On the
one side it was urged that the present was not
ripe for such an organization, but that an asso-
ciation should be formed with view OF disscm-
mating information about mines aud mining
| educating the people up to 4 Beard. On the
other side it MAS contcndcd that Chicago cutcr-
prise would sustain such an institution-tilat
now was the time to organize, for if there wcs
delay, St. Louis or Kansas City, or
some other second-class town would establish q
Board, and then Chica.os opportunity to con-
troll the mines ot the West would be gone. It
was finally decided, for the purpose OF learning
