$50 members come on the trip.
The institute is composed OF oper-
ators, superintendent, engineers,
mine accountants and others, and
the object Of the trip is to look over
the ground in a purely superficial
way and see what the future is for
mining in the upper Monongahela
country. or rather such parts of it as
have not been developed
So far as known no particular ar
rangements have been made to en-
terrain the members of the party by
the town This should be done by
all means These men are for the
most part well to do and are the
kind of men that it is for the best
interests of the town TO stand we'll
with. The morning session will af-
ford an opportunity for the leading
men of the town to meet with them
and tell them what we have here
worthy of their attention.

out by the institute to the various
members will explain the object Of
the trip and the program better than
anything else perhaps. 1t is as fol-
lows:

very interesting one, giving an init
mate view of many industries and
much beautiful scenery. 1t is ex-
