object Of Congress
One of the objects of the American
Mining congress is to bring about the
creation of department of mines and
mining, with its head a member of the
presidents cabinet. to the end that the
mining industry, like that of agriculture,
may receive at the hands of the national
government that assistance to which, by
reason of its Importance, 1T Is entitled.
Los Angeles is SO rapidly coming to
the fore as an important mining center
that many have ventured the prediction
the city before very long will assume
an Importance through this industry
such as no other city in the country mas
ever assumed.
For this reason It is considered an OPP
perfume moment to begin making efforts
to have the eyes of those throughout the
country who are interested In mining
turned toward Los Angeles. whose adj
vantages as a convention city are con-
ceded to be of a superior grade. The
holding of the 1908 convention here will
mean much for mining in the southwest.
and much for Los Angeles and her bust
ness people. The chamber of mines is
preparing to have a large mineral ex-
hibit which will be a credit to the city.
