PAPER By Manuel Figuera, South
American Delegate.

One of the interesting papers read
before yesterdays session of the min
ing congress was one on the Mineral
Industry Of Peru" by Senior Manuel
Figuera of that PARKWAY South Amer
lean republic.
Peru. he said. covers a region of
about 100000 square miles. Its climate
is such that people live in Peru from
the sea level UP to an altitude of from
15.000 to $4,000 feet in the region of per-
petual snow. where many mines are
worked. The country in general is
very healthy. There are farms along
the mountain sides, with all kinds of
temperature, and in a journey of two
hours one can see grains and fruits OF
different kinds and in every stage of

place for the second annual meeting of
the international Mining congress.
July 8, 10 a. m.-Discussion of report
of the special committee on a depart
ment OF mines and mining.
The balance of the morning session
was devoted to listening to papers on
various subjects. Senior Manuel AL
guero of Peru read an interesting pa
! per on the mining industry of his coun-
try. This will be found in another
column of this issue.
Louis Fade of New York read pa
per on Some Remarks on the Cyanide
Process" which was devoted to a
technical discussion of the question.
1t was listened to very attentively.
MERCUR ORES.
c. E. Allen of the Centennial Eureka
moved to grant Mr.. Allen of Mercur
permission to read a paper on the
treatment of low grade ores in the
MeTcur district, and there were no OBJ
jections raised. Mr.. Aliens paper was
highly interesting one. He began by
referring to the great political changes
wrought by the gallant achievement of
our navy. He then laid as a basis for
his arguments that the greatest factor
IN the upbuilding of a nation was the
mining industry, and finally came
nearer home and spoke on the posi-
bilities in the development of Mercur's
low grade ores. His paper was an able
description of the wonders of that dis
trict and the good results obtained in
the past year.
Judge Price of Idaho moved to have
the afternoon sessions begin at
o'clock. but it was overwhelmingly
voted down.
Then, after some announcement of
more or less Importance. adjournment
was taken until o'clock

HEYBURN PROTESTS.

Hepburn of Idaho wanted to know if
it was the authors intention to limit
debate on the reports O.. the commit
tee on revision of codes and mining
laws; if so. he wanted to protest.
This seemed to meet with the ap-
proVal of the delegates in general and
an amendment making it inOpere tive
in relation to the debate on the re-
ports in question was carried without
opposition The second part of the res
Olution relating to reference of such
measures was passed.
AT this point measure by Hutch
.nson of Wisconsin, that Sli states, re-
CARELESS of the number of representa-
tives present, be allowed to cast ten
votes, created somewhat Of an uproar
of protests from all parts of the house:
Fall of Montana declared, We
want fair legislation and We can't get
it by a few vest-pocket votes He
thought the states who had delegates
present were entitled to greater consid-
Grafton than those who were not suf-
ficiently interested to send representa-
JiVes.
Governor Prince favored adopting the
method Of the Denver congress. which
was that no state be allowed TO cast
more than zen votes, but that no Illegal
votes be allowed. This he thought a
wise provision. as il would prevent the
state having the convention from out
voting the balance Of the country.
Heyburn Of Idaho talked in the same
strain, but Hutchinson Of Wisconsin
was persistent, but his motion was Yot-
ed down, and the house applauued.
President Prince invited all vice pres
fdents to come forward and occupy
seats on the rostrum. but as none put
in an appearance, il is presumed they
were too modest TO comply with the

Professor w. S. Keyes. the mining
expert of California. read a carefully
prepared argument in favor of the
square claim theory, but it was very
evident his words fell UPON stony
ground. Ills paper. however. was a
very clear and able advocacy of the
majority report. Points in line cited
by Judge Hepburn. the speaker claimed,
rarely existed and could, therefore, be
considered no valid objection.

Tom Smith of New Mexico. made a
stirring talk against the majority re-
port, declaring that if adopted it
would totally destroy the mining in
dustry. In general his objections to
the proposed change were similar to
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-07-08

The all-absorbing business before the
session of the Mining congress yester-
day was consideration of the proposed
changes in the code and mining laws.
AS predicted, the champions of the
square claim system met with a great
deal of opposition and from the cheers
that greeted every defender of the
present law it is safe to predict that
no changes VIII be recommended.
The discussion at times was spirited
md there was enough flow of oratory
10 have done credit to political con-
Vention, old prospectors and wielders
of the pick showing as much adeptuess
in word jugglings as the attorneys of
the mining corporations.
ATTENDANCE MUCH LARGER.
The attendance was much larger
than on the opening day and more
spirit in the proceedings was manifest
ed, though the debate was at times
rather too technical for appreciation
by a great many VINO know as little
about mining as the Spaniard does
about gunnery. A large portion of the
delegates, however, expressed them
selves, the majority in favor of retain
ing the present laws.
The first order of business at the
morning session was the introduction
of resolutions, and several members
Were ready and seeking recognition
from the chair.
Under the rules as amended all reso-
buttons We're merely read when offered
and without discussion referred to the
committee on resolutions, to be report
ed back to the convention later on.
STEALING ORES.
W. S. Leavy of Denver, Colo, intro
duced the following:
Whereas, The practice of stealing
and disposing of high-grade ore, rich
concentrates, bullion and amalgam
from the many mines, shelters, samp-
lers and mills within the jurisdiction
OF this congress is increasing TO an
alarming extent; therefore,
Resolved, That the president appoint
a committee of seven to carefully in
vestigate this matter and report its
findings to the next meeting OF this
congress"
BY CHAIRMAN PRINCE.
Chairman Prince read the following
resolution, which he asked to have re-
ferred:
Whereas, Under the United States
law organizing the court of private
land claims, the precious metals con-
tanned in land grants confirmed by
said court are reserved by the United
States, but there is no existing pro-
vision of law under which such min
erals can be located or worked;
Resolved, That the congress of the
United States be earnestly requested
to pass an act providing for the lOca-
tiCn and mining of such minerals and
for tie use OF the surface ground
necessary for that purpose, under such
conditions as will be just to both the
Eniner and the surface owner"
TO LIMIT SPEECHES.
Smith of New Mexico had the fol-
lowing, which he offered as amend
meuts 20 the rules:
Resolved, That during the contin-
uance of this congress all speeches BE-
limited TO ten minutes and no delegate
be allowed To speak but twice on any
question without special permission Of
the congress.
Rest lived, That all resolutions be
read Wien offered and then referred
without debate TO the committee on
resolutions"

Rigorous Anti. Carlfst Measures

Bordeaux, November 30.-Advices re-
ceived here from Bilboa, Spain, refer
to the rigorous anti-carlist precautions
taken in that district. The converts, it
appears, are particularly watched. Por-
traits of Don Carlos and Don Jaime,
his son, have been widely distributed.
A small band of carlists have appear
ed near Alcea in Province Castillon de
la Plana, and is being pursued by gen.
darmes.
London, December 1.-The Biarretz
correspondent of The Daily Mail says:
SenOr SagaSta, who has hitherto been
sceptical on the point, now admits that
carlism is the greatest existing danger
to Spain. The authorities are seri-
ously alarmed at the indications Of an
imminent rising. The carlist plans
have been elaborately devised, even
to the extent of appointing a governor
of Madrid
The Madrid correspondent of The
Daily Mail says: Lieutenant General
Correa- minister of war, declares that
the government has 100000 troops in
readiness to take the field in the event
of a carlist rising and will soon have
20e, 600 available. He says, however, he
does not believe that the carlists in
tend to move yet.
Four hundred guns. which We're
being smugsled. have been seized in 4
Basque village.
Don Carlos, in his forthcoming man
ifesto. will make a strong appeal to
the army. The carlists disagree among
themselves as TO the advisability Of an
immediate movement.
The Rome correspondent of The
Daily Mail says the pope has been so
much impressed by the alarm express
ed by the papal nuncio at Madrid at
the possibility of civil war that, with
the consent OF the queen regent and
with a view of avoiding bloodshed. he
has opened negotiations with Don
Carlos. proposing that Don Jaime, the
pretender's son, should marry Princess
Mary, Of Austria.
