FORESTER pINCHoTs LETTER.

A variety of complaints have
reached me i'm the last Two months
with regard TO mining claims on ma
tional forests. AS fast as it was pos
sible to do. The forest service has
been investigating the individual
causes of dissatisfaction. but the vol
ume of complaint has not yet been
arrested While investigation dis
closes exceedingly few specific cases
in which injustice of any kind has
been done. il is nevertheless evident
that a large number of mining men
are persuaded that there Is injustice
i'm fact. and that undue hardships
have been imposed upon men engag-
ed in prospecting and developing
mines More than - per cent of
these claims examined during the
past year were reported favorably.
and we have endeavored to carry out
the law and our orders. intelligently
and fairly. But doubtless improve
ment can he made If the mining men
will help. The forest service is anX-
ious for justifiable complaint. II de-
sires the cooperation and friend
ship of the mining men. not their
opposition. and il is anxious TO as
sist in every legitimate way. in the
development of the mining industry.
Accordingly. write to ask
whether the American mining con-
gress, through you as its president.
or by the action of its executive COM
mittee, will appoint in the immediate
future committee of three or five
representatives. as You may deem
best. to cooperate with the forest
service in an effort to reach a mu-
tual agreement. both as TO the rules
which shall govern the forest service.
under the law dealing with mineral
questions on national forests, and az
to the definition and Interpretation
of these rules. so that there shall he
no misunderstanding whatever. as to
what is Just and right for both par
ties in the premises.

veloping or operating mines. To this
end. it invites the presentation in
wherein II may he shown that the
regulations. rulings or DISTINCTIONS of
the forest service have in any way
interfered with the prosecution of
legitimate prospecting. mining or the
reduction of ore.
Subjects FOR CONSIDERATION.
Specific cases involving the use of
timber. the mineraliZed character of
the claims located. rights of way over
national forests for all mining pnr-
noses. together with the use OF stor
age of waters for power purposes or
domestic use in connection with the
mining operations of isolated claims,
groups of claims. or affecting the
economic problem of improved SER
vice throughout mining districts or
territories. will be considered by the
committee. upon presentation OF
facts in the premises.
All such statements should be add
dressed to the Forest Reserve Com
mittee. American Mining congress,
1910 Court Place, Denver. Colo.
They will be regarded as strictly con-
fidential by the committee. if so de-
sired by the peisohs sehuihs 'hehi.
The committee expects TO attend
the 18th annual session of the Amer
lean mining congress to be held at
Pittsburg, Pa. Dec. ,, 3, 4 and 3,
1908. at which place Mr.. Pinchot has
promised to send some of the most
liberal and best qualified men of the
forest service To confer with IT. in
order that better understanding
between the mining interests and the
forest service may be had. and an
improved service result therefrom.
