AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS.
Hears Suggestions for Reforms in tn,
United States Land Laws.

A dispatch from Portland. Greg. last night
says: The American mining congress devoted
some time today to a presenta ton of the
purposes of the commission appointed by
President Roosevelt to investigate the
condition of public lands and recommend
to the National Congress remedies for ex-
listing evils and suggest reforms in the
land laws.
F. H. Newell, chief engineer of the recla-
nation service, and Clifford Pinchott, for
ester of the United States, outlined the
work they are prosecuting. Their visit to
the congress is to gain the fullest possible
information from mining men of the con-
ditions in the country contiguous to min
ing camps and learn what notifications in
the public land laws are considered desir-
able
Addresses were delivered by Senator Jno.
H. Mitchell Of Oregon and others.
Mr.. Pinchott informed the convention
that President Roosevelts idea is that pub
lie lands should be devoted to the best
possible use, and the object of the COM
mission is to ascertain what is the best
purpose to which lands may be devoted
Mr.. Pinchott portrayed in an interesting
manner the difference in the wishes of the
numbering. live stock and mining indus
tries with regard to public lands, water
rights. etc.
The committee resolutions reported
favorably on the resolution introduced
yesterday by President J. II. Richards for
the establishment of a department Of
mining and metallurgy by the govern
ment. The resolution reviews the forma
ton and the work of the Department of
Agriculture and that of Commerce and
Labor, and presents many reasons why
the mining industry, by reason OF its great
influence upon all other resources and in
dustries and the advancement of the coun-
try, should receive equal consideration with
agriculture and other pursuits. The con-
vention unanimously approved the Judg-
ment of the committee.
Resolutions were adopted favoring the
transfer of supervision of forest reserve
from the United States land office to the
Department of Agriculture; indorsing the
action of the Post Office Department In its
efforts to prevent the operation of fraud
ulent mining schemes and indorsing the
Senate bill pending for the establishment
of a government assay office at Portland.
