THE MINING CONGRESS.
DELEGATES AT LARGE FROM
ALASKA.
A Letter From the Canadian Minister
of the Interior-ohio Will Not Be
Representatives. Delegates.

Alaska's acting governor has APP
pointed 80 delegates to represent the
district of Alaska at the mining con-
gress, and advises Secretary Johnson
that paper on the region will be pre-
pared for presentation to the congress,
IF proper" He viii be advised imme-
diately that such paper will not only
be proper but most acceptable to the
committee and the congress.
The letter in full reads:
Sitka, Alaska, June 2, 1885,
Dear Sir-I have the honor to state
that L have this day appointed and
given credentials to so delegates at
large from the district of Alaska to the
international mining congress to be
held in Salt Lake City July 6, Z, and s,
1898.
In all probability, few of the dele
gates l have named will be unable to
attend; how many 1 am unable to say.
One of the delegates, in case he can
not attend, will write an interesting ar
ticle as to the mineral resources. etc,
of Alaska, to be read, if proper, or for
the information of the convention.
Yours, truly,
ALBERT D. ELLIOT,
Acting Governor of Alaska.
A letter from Hon. Clifford Sifton,
Canadian minister of the interior. ad-
vises the secretary that while the min
lister himself will not be able to attend.
he may be able to send a represent
ative. Since his department has juris
diction in dominion mining affairs, 1t
is hoped the representative will be sent.
Governor Bushnell of Ohio writes that
his time has been so taken up with war
matters that he has no time to look
after delegates to the congress, and he
finds that he is unable, at this late day,
to secure delegates. This will leave
Ohio alone of the great coal mining
states without representation.

A special meeting of the executive
committee was held last evening at
headquarters, to consider the desirable
ity of moving the chamber of commerce
mineral exhibit to the Hall of Relics
for exhibition, besides the commercial
display of state minerals collected by
the committee. By invitation, Mr.. w.
\. Nelden, chairman of the committee
iii charge of the chamber of commerce
affairs, was present. When the matter
was brought uD, he said he would be
glad to have the collection moved out
where the public could see it and an
rreciate it's very great value as an ex-
position of the states resources.
Governor Wells, chairman of the con-
gress committee, said he thought it
would be worth considerably more than
the expense of moving, to have the
display on exhibition during the con-
gress, both for the benefit it would be
to have the visitors see it and for the
it would make on the resi-
dents of the city, who have no idea of
the value of the specimens, and for
their illustration of the possibilities of
the states mines.
After some further discussion. a mo-
ton was adopted without dissent, au-
thorizing the secretary to have the
chamber of commerce collection put on
