In Its Review of Mining Conditions
Here and Also as to the Conditions
of the Principal Mines-RambIer
in Operation.

The sound policy which this state
has pursued in handling mine promo
tons and the interest which those at
the head of the industry have taken in
protecting the reputation of the state
is responsible for a new measure
which is to be introduced into the next
session of the legislature, says the
Denver Mining Reporter in its Re
view of Mining Conditions in Wyo-
ming" 1t is a bill creating a promo.
ton publicity department in charge of
a special commissioner. Private COM
panies desiring to have their adver-
Using matter bear the stamp of approx
al of the state authority may submit
the same to this new bureau and Sc.
cure the use of a state label, after the
advertising matter has been inspected
to the satisfaction Of the commission
er. The bill also contemplates the
issuance of a comprehensive descrip-
tive pamphlet by the state, and pro-
vides for the issuance Of similar
pamphlets by the various counties.
Rich Find at Copper Mountain.
Considerable activity vas evidenced

parations are under way for the con,

supply electricity to the town and re
duction works which the Boysen com
pany is constructing.
Oil Near Garland.
Prospecting for oil near Garland also
attracted considerable attention during
November. 1t was reported that the
Montana and Wyoming Oil company
struck oil as well as gas, and that
preparations were being made to utilize
both. Among the other non-metailic
products of the state which received
attention last month may be mentioned
cement rock, which was discovered
near Cody; phosphate rock lear Coke
vile, and ~gilsonite on the property of
Salt Lake-Pittsburg Oil company. The
first two mentioned minerals have not
been exploited, but the last named has
been shipped in considerable quanti-

the circumstances, which occurred
during my term Of Office, whereby the
the county acquired the abstracts, and
after which, think two terms-were
entirely paid for from the one.half re-
ceipts. after which and up to the
present time has enabled the residents
of your county to save from fifty to
seventy.five per cent of the cost of their
abstracts, as compared with other
counties in Michigan.
Frank. you are entitled to a large
share of this credit by reason of your
extraordinary ability, care and faith
fulness in writing up these records,
and the good people should recognize
this fact by giving you the Office for a
period.
Hoping you will succeed and wishing
you success. 1 remain, Your friend,
