The Utah Ore Pro.iucefs Association
has issued the following cnl for 4

Der, 1899, at 10 O'clock 4. NJ, for tie
toilowing purposes.
First 10 decide upon ways aud

second To consult AM determine
what united action shall br taken by

with regard to the National Silver
Convention, To be held at St. Louis on
the Goth of November. 1889.
We are all aware that the ruling of
the Treasury Department if persiste
in will be fatal to our industry. bur
We are also confident that we can by
united and judicious action obtain u
just protection for lead mining. To
attain this end unity of action is es-
sential.
1t is thought by some that the Sill
yer Convention at st. Louis offers
favorable opportunity to present our
case in behalf nf lead and gain powerful
influence for our cause. Others On the
contrary feel that representation 81
the lead mining interests at that con-
Yeniion would be advised and pos
sibly prove injurious To the lead
industry. Considering the diversity
OF opinion, II Is deemed best BIZ all
that those representing that industry
should meet prior TO the Silver Com
venti0n and arrive at unanimty of
opinion, that no false step may lie
taken, and that the action of the dele
gates from the lead mining districts
nj thai convention may he upon well
defined lines and have all the weight
of united aud organized strength.
Ii is important that delegates from
all communities interested IN the
prosperity of lead mining should be
present at the me ting ltrein called,
either in person or by proxy IL is
suggested that many delegates APP
pointed To the Silver Convention can
conveniently attend thi, convention
on their way to ST. Louis. and where
