fewer obstacles confronting them

exasperating factor of great fire.
queney in mining.
While it is true that in many min
ing localities, problems of purely To-
cal import arise, which could be best
remedied by local attention. at the
same time suitable changes in ex-
listing federal laws, and the adoption
of few additional ones demanded by
the wisdom born of experience, would
settle many of the vexing questions
With which the miner now has TO con-
tend.
Few mining men, outside of those
who have made careful study of the
question. are very fully aware of the
number and magnitude of
culties which beset the miner or
many sides. At several sessions of
the American Mining Congress fire.
quent discussions were INDUCED in
by prominent mining men respecting
the general revision of the federal
mining laws, and il has come to be an
almost universal demand that the
congress of the United States give
more attention to the important in
dustry of mining. What the miner
wants is a reasonably full value for
his fore from the smelter ., reats
it; reasonably fair rate from the
railroad which transports -, the as
surance that title to his property
after patent Is secure; fair meas
ure of assistance from the govern
ment In experimental and research
work; the right to use freely. but
wisely. of timber of forest reserves,
If necessary, to lessen wildcat
ting"
Some measure of relief will un-
douhtedly be afforded by the bureau
of mines which. from present indi-
cations, will be established by the
congress now in session. hut the
principal disadvantages will not be
overcome until more or less COM
plete revision of the mining laws is
effected, and IL is to be hoped that
the mining congress will be success
full in arousing a sufficiently forceful
sentiment on this question that the
congress of the united States cannot
fail to hear and act Committees of
experts are now making an exhaust
i've study of the question which will
be one of the foremost to be con-
sidered at the session of the mining
congress TO be held this year.
| 1t is a wise move on the part of
the mining congress to have this mat
ter thoroughly discussed by real min
ing men and plan of action decided
upon before the lawmakers at Wash
ington. many of whom have never
seen a mine, commence legislatine
for an industry with which ley are
but little acquainted. and the pc
culiar needs of which they do not
know.
This movement is quite extensive
and thousands of the most prominent
and representative mining men OF
America will participate. the of
ficers of the mining congress have
every reason to believe that the mex
few years will see the mining statutes
taken out of their present chaotic
condition and a uniform system Of
laws evolved which will give ths
miner a consistent measure of relic
from his present numerous Difficult
