Fl Paso, Tex, Nov. 3.-All parts are well advanced for the meeting in Fl Paso of the American Mining Con. gress, November 14th to 18th. A business mems committee of 100 has been busy with arrangements for sev. eral months. Including what has been spent already the city of Fl Paso will have spent $1O,0O0 for the congress by the opening day. It is safe to say that the entertainment provided will
 be equal to any ever enjoyed by the congress.
 First and most important, of course are the sessions of the congress itelf Care has been taken that the purely entertainment features shall not inter fere with the more serious business The directors and officers of the congress itself have planned the pro gram of the sessions so that there shall be something of value to every body interested, directly or indirectly, in mines and mining. ThereN will be something to interest the mine Ia borer and the mine owner, promoter and capitalist, merchant and engineer, prospector and investor Assurance has been given that no dry, technical papers will be permitted to take up the time of the sessions, but all such gun enthusiasts.
 will be read by caption, their sub stance outlined and the papers them selves placed in the official records of the proceedings.
 To entertain and inform the visit. ors, there will be lectures illustrated by fine stereopticon views, there will be displays of ores, of machinery, and of photographs. One of the most note. worthy features of the congress week will be visit, under escort, to the great shelter of the American Smelt ing and Refining Company at Fl Paso where 1900 men are at work and a ton of ore is reduced every minute of the year.
 One big special feature will be the drilling contests. Miners representing every important mining camp in the great southwest will compete for the s2000 in prizes, and it is safe to say that some splendid records will be made. The men who have twice broken the worlds record and twice won the worlds championship will go after the capital prize and the silver trophy, to which they are entitled upon winning a third contest, having already won it twice. The drilling contests will occur every day for a week.
 Among other features of the enter tainment at Fl Paso will be rides around the city to the suburbs, and across the international line. One or opf yxyi11 hn erir- Tn unnfa al intercourse, with ball and a smoker and popular turns. There will be a prize shooting contest for the scatter. Mexico is just across the interna- tional bridges, and frequent trips over there will vary the days entertain ment for the visitors Some typical Mexican sports and features will be provided.
 After the congress is all over special | trips will be made to the important mining camps of the great southwest | Very cheap rates have been made on all the railroads, including the Mexi. can roads, and excursions will be run
 to all Mexican points, and to the big
 camps of Arizona and New Mexico.

 come to Fl Paso from northern and l eastern states for the congress, upon appointment by state governors and
 other government officials and by
 commercial bodies, there will also be
 thousands of people from the territory
 surrounding Fl Paso, who will come
 to see the drilling contests and meet | the delegates. Governors of several
 states of this country and Mexico
