into one organization with the west the
vast BODY of miners in the east and the

same pursuit, whether we dig the coal
of Pennsylvania, the copper of Michigan,

all are banded together in this mining

And I congratulate you that we meet
here at Salt Lake. It is appropriate be-
cause this is the center of a great mining
region whose annual product has
become one of the great wonders
of the world. And it is delightful because

of the great mining industry, which
would be aided by such gatherings as
this, of representative men from all

Governor Wells paid warm tribute
to Colorado, saying that when silver
became deprecated, the miners at once
commenced producing gold. and last
year turned out more of the yellow
metal than California
Speaking of Utah. he referred to the
immense output of precious metals,
which was, after all, very small mat

would produce when its resources were
fully developed.
In conclusion, Governor Wells said:

Governor Wells made a distinctive
hit, the cheers that greeted the con-
Guiding lines of his address being deaf
ening.
The chair declared that Salt Lake
City was the most generous and hos
pitable city in the west, and it would
be manifestly improper not to hear
from one of her own officials. 1t was
therefore, with great deal of pleasure,
that he found the name of Mayor Clark
on the list for a speech.
MAYOR CLARK.
Salt Lakes chief officer was given his
quota of attention as he came to the
front and spoke, in part, as follows:
ON behalf of the people of Salt Lake
I bid you welcome. Not only to the
first international mining congress

that ever assembled in this country
do we welcome you, but to our broad
streets, our public buildings, our hearts

would be paralyzed and no great enter

valuable industry. To encourage and

Chairman Allen contended that 1t
was a proper subject; that the lady
would give a highly interesting dis
course, and that the discussion would
be in connection with the department
of mines and mining in that institu-
ton, thus making it germane to the
work of the congress.

of codes and mining laws appointed at
the last session of the congress, pre-
scented the result of that committees

the report, which was of considerable
length. and, it having been decided to
have it printed and in the hands of
the delegates at this mornings session,
when it comes up for discussion. but it
was evident from the interest mani
tested that this will form one of the
most important topics for discussion in
the congress. The report as agreed
upon by the committee contemplates
some radical changes in the code.
Judge Hepburn of Idaho, one OF the
conspicuous figures on the floor of the
convention, arose and gave notice of
his intention to present a minority re-
port.

TELEPHONES IN THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

Why the public school buildings of
the city are not connected with the
office of the Board of Education by
telephones Is difficult question to an.
swcr. II It Is said that the expense
would be too great II may he replied
that there are economics that do not
econOmize and that this Is one of them.
1t has happened that because of the
unexpected Illness of II teacher room
has had to be closed for the entire day
for the reason that substitute was not
mt hand. when with the Use Of a tele-
phone one might have been summoned
In fifteen minutes. Every principal In
the city knows how he or she has been
perplexed for fear that the non-arrlvai
Of coal would make compulsory the
closing Of the building. The way the
fuel IL delivered makes Il possible that
the building will be short Of coal any
day or mt any time Of the day. II IL
often the case that the attendance of
a physician Is Immediately demanded.
but there Is no way of hastily summon.
Ing one. In case of fire only the ordl-
nary appliances are nj hand TO call the
fire department. and. while these are
good, a school house with 100 children
ought not to he made to depend solely
on the common methods of protection
In case OF an emergency.
There IRE often times when for the
public good the principal wishes for a
moments consultation with the super.
intendent. This circumstance happen.
cd recently. A dead horse was left IT,
Ing IN front Of school In which there
were more than 1000 children for two
days after the principal had notified
the authorities by mail. With a tele.
phone such thing could not have hap.
pened. The truth II that one Of the
large school buildings has more urgent
necessity for telephone than half Of
the business houses In the city have.
These appliances IRE comparatively
cheap and have become private neccs.
stiles, and to deprive the schools Of
them Is virtually to cripple their efii.
cheney and to run risks that the Board
Of Education ought not willingly to
assume.
