Mining Congress Notes.

G. A. Anderson, manager of the Mac
Arthur-Forrest Cyanide company, is in
the city renewing acquaintance with
old friends and also attending the ses-
sions OF the mining congress.

Tom Smith IF New Mexico. in an ar
ticle on Some Changes Needed In the
Mining Laws from the Standpoint of a
ProspectOr," did full justice to his sub
ject and made che of the hits of the
session. Mr.. Smith spoke to the point
and his ready wit, happy illusions,
met with responsive chord in the
breast of his audience.

was sent here by the chamber Of COM

Portland for the express purpose of
securing for that city the next session
of the congress. The colonel made an
eloquent plea in behalf of the coast
city, and many were favorable to that
place, but the ajority We're of the
opinion that the east should be recog-

held in the beautiful city of Milwau-

One of the ablest and most interest
ing papers was that read by Hon.
Francisco j. Yanes, tie gentleman from
Venezuela. Venezuela was his theme,
and he gave succinct and comprehen-
sive view of the mines and other nat
ural resources of that country, which
are very great, and only need capital
to develop them and make Venezuela
one of the richest countries in the
world. The people are progressive and
hospitable, and welcome warmly for
eigners with either capital or skilled
labor.
Senior Francisco Javier Yanes, vice
consul from Venezuela to the United
States, who is a delegate from his cOun-
try TO the mining congress, and who
read a very interesting and instructive
paper before the congress yesterday on
the mineral resources of Venezuela, is
much pleased with Utah and what ne
has learned of the resources of the
state since his arrival here. Ssnor
Yanes is accompanied by his wife, a
very intellectual and pleasing lady.
who is much interested in what she has
seen in this, to her, new and strange
land. The lake is especially attractive
to both ElT. and Mrs. Yanes, and the
beauty of Salt Lake and environments
has been commented on by them.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEYS.
Interesting Paper On This Subject
Read By Hon. Arthur Lakes.

The paper on Geological Surveys,
and Its Advantages, prepared by II.
H Stock, editor of Mines and Metals,
of Scranton, Pa, and read before the
Mining congress in the afternoon by
Arthur Lakes, assistant western editor
of the same publication, was well writ
ten and full of meat and applicable
to the necessities of this western coun-
try, as there is no one thing in this
western country, outside of the elm
ination of the apex law, that this sec
ton needs more than geological sur
veys, and Mr.. Lakes hit the nail on
the head when he dwelt on the i'm
portance of the making of government
surveys of this character in every
camp in the west.
The geological survey made OF Mer-
cur has done much toward attra citing
the attention of capital, scientists and
mining men to this wonderful district,
and the one made last year of Tintic
district will be of inestimable value
to the camp in the near future
Geology, and It's Relation to Min
ing was handled in the paper pre-
pared by Mr.. Stock, and in his dis
cussion of the subject he made the
timely suggestion that there should be
a unification of the different geological
societies, of national and state bureaus
of surveying, and also that in the
preparation of works on geological
subjects, technical terms and express
sions be eliminated as much as pos
sible, in order that the humblest miner
and prospector, the layman as well as
the mining engineer, might read and
understand.
The paper also referred to the early
days of mining. when there was more
guess work than certainty, and when
the making of geological surveys was
but very limited and but very little
understood. The difference between
that period and this was simply amaz-
ing, as now, when survey of this
character is made, there is nothing
haphazard. no mere belief and opinion
to go by but all is absolute certainty.
The paper was well received by the
members of the congress.

Coal Mining In Pennsylvania.

The address of Delegate G. NJ. VIII
Hams of Pennsylvania on the subject
of anthracite coal mining in that state,
was Of unusual interest TO the people
of this section, who have spent the bet
ter portion of a lifetime in mining for
the precious metals, and there is no
doubt but that ideas were presented
by Mr.. Williams which will be bene-
fetal to the mining fraternity Of the
west, especially as to ventilation and
the care taken to prevent accidents;
while the duties, responsibilities and
influence resting with the mine inspec-
tors might suggest the thought that in
this intermountain region fewer acct
dents would occur if there were more
men to whom responsibility could be
attached for loss of life and limb in
the mining camps

accused. The hearing was short and

The Cyanide Process.

William Orr, representing the Nc
Arthur-Forrest Cyanide company. did
himself proud in the paper read by
him at the Mining congress in the af-
ternoon, and those present listened to
his remarks with more than ordinary
interest, as there is now hardly a min
ing camp in the west but that is in
terested in the subject of ore reduc-
ton by the cyanide process. Mr.. Orr
handled his subject in an able and
lucid manner and without doubt pre-
sented new ideas to his audience on
the treatment of low grade ores by
this system.

vious question, which was carried,
which, under parliamentary law, cut
off all further debate, and then forced
the body TO vote on the Allen amend

A great deal of dissatisfaction arose
over a misconception. Many claimed

A TIE VOTE.

confusion followed. Someone declared
that in the conventions manner of
voting. some states were casting % and
go votes, while under the rules pre-
viously adopted no states should be
allowed TO cast more than ten votes.
1t was then decided to call the roll of
the states on the reconsideration ques-
ton. and short recess was taken to
give each state delegation a chance to
make up their votes, with the strict
understanding that no state be allowed
more than ten votes, regardless of the
number of delegates present.
The vote resulted in tie-50 to So

INSPECTION OF MINES.

G. NJ. Williams of Pennsylvania read
a paper on Governmental Inspection of
Mines" The paper dealt with The
great success of the laws for the
protection of the miner as first in
augurated in the anthracite regions in
Pennsylvania He claimed that when
the government first stepped in COM
polling mine owners to make special
preparations for the DlCtecuon OF lie
laborers there was mich opposition
against this extra expenditure of
money, but subsequent experience
under the law demonstrated that the
workmsn were healthier and could worl:
better. to say nothing OF the decrease
in loss of life. Government inspection
was necessary and proper not only for
the mine owner but for the laborer as
wei.

was the title of a paper read at this
point by William Orr of Idaho.

Resolved, that q committee of seven
be appointed by the president ELECT to
consider such changes in the United
States mining laws as have been shown
by experience to be desirable either to
correct defects or make the meaning
of existing provisions more definite,
and to report the same to the -;ext

The resolution met with considerable
objection. as it was renewing the old
revision committee fight which had
been practically. disposed of.

talk in opposition to about a thousand
resolutions that had been introduced
He said he had struggled for 40 years

country and now he decried the con-
dition that every resolution introduced
at the congress was an advertisement
to the world that our mining laws
were defective. The old prospector- al
