treasury department on gold and sill
ver and by the geological survey OF
the interior department on the other
mineral production; the appropriations
made to both departments for STATISTICS
are very meagre which does not give
the best result; the bureau of mines
has alx.ys 1,y.cn yteS.eu, a. fifth
wheel to some already overcroWued de-
partment, whose object is not at all al
lied to mining; the pursuits of mining
are not given the attention they should
have by our national government; they
today have attained to much greater
proportions and Importance than was
,ericu1t,,re. when the department or
agriculture was established.
Tn the last century we have developed
from a debtor to a creditor from
purchasing to a manufacturing, and
from a nation with an adverse OIL
SIC, 900, 900, to favorable balance OIL
commerce of $60O,OO0,oO0; a century ago
we did little or no mining; look up
statistics and see il mining products
have not grown faster than any other;
American machinery is to be seen the
world around: the metals used in the
manufacture Of machinery must hrst
be mined; what would America be IL
we had no mines? History teaches us
that civilization has advanced apace
with the use of these mines and man
has bettered his condition just in pro-
portion to the developments made in
mining: so it is today; new discoveries
are being made, patents of new things
are issued daily; we live In day and
age when we must improve constantly
or fall behind.
Among those that attend the sessions
of the mining congress are those learn
ed in the different branches in mining;
the man who has made new discov-
cry or patent; those who manufacture,
deal in or wish to introduce the latest
and best methods in mining appliances
and machinery and those who are look
ing for new and undeveloped fields In
which to locate; so if you contemplate
buying mining machinery; If you have
something new to offer to the mining
world; or if you wish to bring yourself
up- p-to-date in the matters of mining, go
to Butte, next September / to 5, 1t may
mean dollars to you.
