Mining Congress Sessions.
1t has been suggested that the
mines of the Gold6eld district be rep
resented at the coming session of the
American Mining congress by an ex-
hibit of ores. The congress
in Ell Paso, Texas, on November IS,
and closes it's deliberations on No
vember 20. Representative mining
men from all portions of the world are
to be in attendance and no better op-
p%ortunity for presenting data and
ocular proof of the extent and value
of Goldfeld propositions could be af-
forded than by having a representative
present to give facts and figures on
tonnage and its high grade gold values,
backing up the statements with the
presentation of specimens from the
various mines. The session will be one
of the most important eve held by the
organization, both in number of at.
tendance and in representation of cap
ital, and it is meet that important fac
tors in increasing the worlds gold sup
ply as Goldfeld and the other camps of
Southern Nevada should be ably rep
resented.
A plan to hat end is now being out
lined by prominent mining men of
this section and if it bears fruition,
which it doubtless Will, the riches of
the Southern Nevada mining country
will be presented in an attractive
manner and in a way which is sure to
be conducive of good results. AS far
as outlined the scheme is to have this
section represented by some gentle
man who is amply qualified by expert
ence in and familiarity with the camp.
One who can demonstrate in an eff
cient n to the members of the
congress, by the presentation of facts
and figures and the exhibition of pic
lures and specimens of ore, the vast
mineral resources of the Southern
Nevada country. While the plan is as
yet purely local in it's tenor it is the
purpose to extend it's scope and en-
brace all the mining territory in this
portion of the state. To hat end data
from Bullfrog, Rhyolite, Ida Dia-
mondfeld and other sections is to be
gathered, together with ore specimens
from those localities, and will form a
portion of the display. The members
o. the American Mining congress have
been instrumental in the opening up
of many mining districts, notably the
ore deposits of Idaho, and a presepta-
ton of the present conditions and fu-
ture possibilities here is sure to meet
with the favorable attention of the
delegates at the Ell Paso session.
Each mining community in the
United States will be represented by
one or more delegates and there will
also oe a large representation from
foreign countries as well. To Gov
ernor Sparks falls the duty of appoint
ing the delegates from Nevada and in
SO doing it is safe to assume that
Goldfield will receive due considera-
ton. While a large element of work
enters into the deliberations of the
congress many social features are in
terspersed Herewith and the delegates
are assured Of a hearty welcome; a
welcome characteristic or the Lone
Star state and its hospitable inhabi-
tants. In order that Goldfeld be ably
represented it is necessary that the
delegation be made up of representa-
tive mining men and it is to be sin
cerely hoped that such as may receive
the governors appointment will so
adjust their affairs that they may at
tend the session.
