before the Mining congress as no. to
gave time to meet the jane date. The
committee thought tnst good many
delegates 10 the lrnnsmisslasipp CON
grrss might also be delegates a. tue
Mining congress, and the short tine

delegates time TO return - their homes
anu arrange their business affairs to
return for the Mining eongross. Diner
reasons were alsJ auvanced; one was
that by September considerable poi
ton OF the business etfvtti would he
paved anu give the city u more metro
