TELLS OF MINING congress
c. E. Wood, Special Representative
Mentions Several Steps Planned
by That Body.

/ {. b. Wood, special representative
of the American mining congress. with
headquarters at Denver, Colo, is in the
city for day or two in the interests of
the association.
Mr.. Wood told last evening of the
congress and its work. This years ses-
sion is to be held at Denver. Oct. 16 to
-. inclusive. Several matters of inter
est TO mine owners and mining men
generally are 10 come up at that time
Salt Lake will be represented.
One of the chief aims of the congress
is to establish a department of mines
and mining as a part of the cabinet at
Washington. Such a department, it is
argued, would be a great aid to the
mining industry generally i'm tending
to have it recognized as one Of the ma
tional occupations.
"A strong committee has been an
pointed to draft bill to be presented
at the next session of congress for the
protection of investors and reputable
mining men generally against the
takers and wildcat schemes which
abound wherever mining is known -
SAID Mr.. wood. AN effort will also be
made to provide for the passing of a.
law TO create a mine drainage system
similar to city public Improvement dis
tricts. Such a law will benefit many
mining camps which have been held
back for years owing to the unwilling
ness of some one company to stand the
expense of drainage tunnel which
would benefit every mine i'm the dis
trict, in the face of the fact that the
other companies operating would share
equally in the benefit without the ex-
penditure of a single cent"
Mr. Wood has made many visits TO
Salt Lake City. He will leave tomor-
row

On Sunday, Oct. 81, "a fire
burned Lue Farris' livery barn at
Geneseo, Rice county, together
with eighteen head Of horses and
all other contents.
Will Kellough and Ed. Kane
were sleeping in the Office of the
barn, and would undoubtedly have
lost their lives had it not been for
the intelligence of a bird dog
which was kept in the office. The
smoke drifted into the room and
the men were almost sufocated
when they were awakened by the
frantic efforts of the dog, King,
who sprang upon the bed and
clawed and scratched them in the
face, after a vain endeavor to
awaken them by barking. How
ever, this heoric act of the. dog
brought them out of their sleep,
which was for the greater part an
unconscious sufocation and they
sprang from the bed, but we're so
far overcome that they we're I'M
able to stand, and they both fell
to the floor. One of them fell with
his head through the window, and
was sufficiently revived to crawl
on out, and his companion follow
ed. They had barely reached the
outside when che chimney crashed
down onto the bed where they had
been sleeping. For some reason
the dog had failed to follow them
through the window, and suffered
a terrible death, after saving the
lives of bis friends. What was
left of old King" was found un-
der the bricks of the chimney.
