Attention, Miners.

The work which has beendone by
the Rocky Mountain office of the mining
branch of the Eleventh Census is one Of
great interest and value to all the mining
regions in the West In a country like
this where mining in all its forms is
general industry no greater good can be
lone than fully describing and publishing
the results OF mining and giving the
amount of production of various regions in
the West. One of the results Of the work
Of the census will be the publication Of
volume which will be the highest author
lty on the subject and will be widely dis
tributed. 1t offers an excellent opportuni.
ty for advancing the great mineral re-
sources of the Rocky Mountain region.
The general discomfort with the results of
the population census in Denver and else
where, shows what the results may be in
the mining census if miners and producers
do not interest themselves sufficiently 10
cooperate and to send in information and
schedules to the Rocky Mount ain ofice
without being compelled TO do SO by per
sonal visits from special agents in the
field The territory is so great that it re
quires time to cover it and as the value Of
the work will largely depend upon its
early publication, anything which Colora
1oans can do to hasten the completing of
the work of the Rocky Mountain region
will advance the publication of the book
So many different kinds of mining are Just
beginning in the West tnat it is very Diff
cult TO keep correct list of all sorts Of
mines up to date and this is where great
assistance can be given. II the census Of
fcials know that mining is being done and
know the names and addresses of miners
or operators, they can then communicate
with these operators directly, securing the
needed information The Rocky Noun
tain office furnishes memorandum blanks,
on which these names and addresses can
be given; and invites mine owners and
operators to send for them. They will be
furnished with return envelopes which re.
quire no postrge upon addressing +. f.

yesterday the erection of parsonage on
