cry American citizen care not wheth-
er he lives in a commercial, agricultur-
al, manufacturing or a mining region
should feel interested in the greater
success of mining, and be ready, and
anxious to aid the American Mining
Congress, in it's efforts to secure ma
tional department of mines and min
ing. The industry has forged ahead
practically unassisted. What think
you then would be the result, with the
same assistance as that rendered our
agricultural interests?
The American Mining Congress is
not local organization; its aim and
purpose is altogether national, conse-
quently the holding of one Of its an
nual sessions, if held in San Francis
co is of as much Importance to the
state of New York as it is to San
Francisco, and to reverse it the same
to San Francisco as to New York, saw
ing the fact that wherever the con-
gress assemblies the immediate and
are immeasurable, and every portion
of that particular state is benefited
just in proportion as the citizens Of
each particular section see proper to
take advantage of the opportunity pre-
sented. In this as in every other in
stance, there is no county, city, town,
|village or hamlet in all the great COM
monwealth of South Dakota that is not
urged to send representatives to this
coming session of the congress, and all
good citizens are invited to become
members if they will, not only Of tho
Black Hills Mining Mems Association,
but of the American Mining Congress,
and by their presence and active in
fluence build up the industries of their
state, and l know of no place more di-
rectly interested in the success of this
coming assembly, than Rapid City.
There may not be any great mines IN
the immediate neighborhood Of Rapid
City. but within short two hours ride
of this place, you find one of the great
est and most active mineral producing
regions in the world. Then again, at
Rapid City is located the state school
OF mines, with such professors of note

Fulton who are successfully educating
your young men, training them for a

least one of these great American cap
tains of industry
The hour for earnest, sober, second
thought is here, and in the light of
positive facts as we see them, is it not
time in the interests Of the people to
treat this great question of mining
from a statesman's and not politi-
clans point of view?
Is it not wise especially at this time,
when so much depends upon the pro-
lection of the rights of the many as
against the selfish demands of a few,
that our nations greatest industry
mining-should be recognized, not as
the tar bucket hanging to the tail end
of wagon, but as the wagon itself,
and our representatives at Washington
be advised not by a few, but by all the
people, that it is their wish that fed
eral department of mines and mining
be at once created by them with sec.
retary who shall be member of the
presidents cabinet?
In less than sixty days from now, the
American Mining Congress will con-
vene In the cities Of Lead and Dead
wood. This organization is aiming to
do for the mining industry Of the en-
tire country what the agricultural de-
partment at Washington has done for
agriculture; the commercial museum of
Philadelphia for commerce, trade and
manufacture; the Southern Industrial
Association for the progress Of south
ern advancement; and again, what the
manufacturing interests Of America
will shortly do to strengthen and in
crease their industry by establishing in
the city of New York, a great perman-
ent exhibition of all the manufactured
products of the United States. Think
Of it, through the products Of our
mines, strengthened by the enthusias-
tic interest of the manufacturer, in his
industry, has the American manufact-
urer been already enabled to establish
an industry producing a revenue nearly
ten times greater than the authorized
capitalization Of the greatest corpora
tion on earth, the United States Steel
corporation. and it represents the ac-
tual value Of the states of New York
and Pennsylvania combined. Don't
you believe it is time for the producers
Of raw material to manifest some little

make them understand that there are
more railroads in the United States
that do not return one cent of interest
to their stockholders than there are
mines; and the only real value they
have is to furnish an avenue for specu-
lation for those who live by this
means. They do not seem to know that
for every railroad of value in the coun-
try there is mine that is paying from
four to five times as much interest and
whose stock is on much more solid
basis of actual value.
We talk great deal about COM
merce, trade and manufacture, but say
and do but little, for the real wealth
of the nation, which is the wealth we
win from the SOIL The immensity of
the Importance of the products of our
mines are not realized either by our
national and state legislators, the pub
lie generally, or in many instances
even the miners themselves. We all
recognize the fact that commercial and
manufacturing centers are busy in
tellectual centers, but we seem to for
get that it is the raw materials that
absolutely makes successful perman-
ancy of these busy intellectual manu-
featuring centers. In the United
States according to the census reports,
we have more than half a million
manufacturing establishments that it
is claimed have invested capital to the
amount of $9,S35,O If this be
true, is it not fact that the corner
stone of the foundations upon which
rests the hope of their success, the pro-
ducts of our precious metal mines? ?
Nor is this all, these manufacturing es-
Establishments must have raw material
from which to manufacture articles of
commerce. Here again must we look
to the source of all our real wealth.

consume annually $7,34s, ,144,735 worth
of the raw material, out of which we
manufacture products worth $13,014,-
2S7,498. These are certainly convinc-
ing figures of the nations great strides
in the production of raw materials
(without reciting special statistics by
states) as mineral producer, and
would seem to me to warrant a greater
recognition by the people and by the
nation for the industry than it now re-
ceives. No sounder argument why ev-

those of you residing in any section Of
the state who have sons as students at
this institution do not wish, | am sure,
in any manner to weaken them in the
profession of their choice. Nor is this
all. BY your own efforts was your
state school of mines established and
located in Rapid City, and to sustain
and make it successful institution of
learning have you appropriated large
sums of money and at every session of
your legislature ask for more; yet are
you not directly and Indirectly interest
ed, and intensely interested in the sue
cess of the mining industry of your
state wherever the mineral is found,
whether in Rapid City, Deadwood,
Lead or elsewhere? / think, hope you
are.
Is it wise then to be Indifferent to
the question of fostering in all legiti-
mate ways the great mining industry
of America, and is it not the duty of
every loyal American citizen, native
born and adopted to aid the American
Mining Congress financially and other
wise in securing such legislation, state
and national, as will protect and ad-
vance the mining industry of the coun-
try?

In July, 1897, the first assembly of
what is now known as the American
Mining Congress, was held in the city
of Denver, Colorado, with the then
governor Of that state, the Hon. Alva
Adams, as its temporary president.
Early in April of that same year, a
few gentlemen, realizing the import
ance of the mining industry to the
general welfare of the nation, and more
rapid development of the great empire
west of the Mississippi river, conceived
the idea, that an organization that
would be broad and representative in
character, through which might be dis
cussed methods best adapted to the
higher development of mining, and in
voicing the results of its deliberations,
that these results would be- noS the
opinion of an individual, or any one
particular locality, but the -'oice Of the
people through their representatives
attending its sessions from every quar-
ter of North and South America, hop

Lack Of Reverence.

Reverence is q quality sadly lacking
in the youth of to-day. There is pre-
vailing an exaggerated idea of the "I'm
as good as anybody, b'gosh"sentiment.
So you are "as good as anybody" SOD,
if you make yourself SO. But, being
as good as anybody, you will not need
to thrust that information on n one.
Nor will you need to despise others.
If you are really worthy respect you
will not have to make an effort to ex-
act respect. And it is a mistake TO
imagine that treating others with lack
OF respect elevates yourself. Respect
will be paid to real worth by those
whose opinions are worth the while.
If your goodness does not meet appre-
citation by people of worthy character
there is something the matter with
your goodness. It would be we'll to
make a personal inquiry and locate the
trouble.
The habit Of treating sacred sub
jects with levity is a bad one. It kills
reverence in our hearts and thus low.

need to nourish high ideals Of right,

characters are degraded. When rever-
ence goes out, greed, sel6shness and
lnhumanity comes in. Besides the
wrong done to our own natures when
we fail TO reverence things held sa-
cred, we do q grievous wrong to others.
1t Is evil enough to lower our
standard of right, but when we cloud
the sense of purity, Of sacredness, in

In ourselves to keep some ideal holy

beaten. When our civil war came on
he was made brigadicr general aud
put in charge Of the Missouri terri
tory. One Of his first acts was to
abolish slavery in that State. This
made General Grant mad and every
body else who lived there and owned
slaves, SO he vas reported to Mr.. Lin

and ordered him to Washington. He
was offered other commands, but re-
fused them and retired from active
service. After the war he concluded
to build a railroad from Texarkana to
FL Paso and got the State Of Texas to
give him q liberal grant of land along
the entire route of 800 miles. He
went to Paris with this grant and
agreed to come back and issue bonds
on it and get the United States gov

got the money and built the road, but
failed to get the United States gov
crnment to indorsc the bonds. The
French bondholders never found this
out until their money vas all spent.

appear, but forfeited his bond. How
it was finally settled the record does
