mond at Butte, Mont, expressing his
regret that he could not be present
at the discussion of the silver ques-
tion was also read.
AS Mr. Goodwin was not present his
paper was read by John H. Dern of
Salt Lake.
Prior to the opening of the discus
sion several resolutions were presented
calling for the organization of fed
eral mining department, a revision of
mining claims, patent laws and federal
cooperation in the effort to increase
the use of silver. +.
The first of these, which was pre-
sented by E. r. Buckley of Missouri,
was considered on the floor, adopted
and ordered handed to the San Francis
co delegation to be presented to Presi-
dent Taft on his arrival in that city
next week.
The other resolutions followed the
regular order into the committee on
resolutions.
Debate Is General
The discussion of the silver question
attracted great attention among the
delegates. The discussion was on the
problem referring specially to the
means for bringing about greater
use of the white metal for the strength
ening of American trade relations with
Silver-standard countries. In order to
hasten this the address of James A.
Hickman of New York, on Proper
Settlement of the Silver Question of
Vital Importance to the American
Manufacturer" was read by title.
The general debate was opened by
Thomas Keppner of Nevada. He and
others declared for the placing of sill
yer on a more important hasis.
A discussion of the need of federal
department of mines was the feature
of the afternoon session. United States
Senator Francis G. Newlands of Ne
vada and Congressman w. F. Engle
bright of California were the speakers.
Mr.. Newlands dwelt on the impor-
tance of the mining industry, con-
tending that it stood next to agricul-
ture, and that the powers of both the
nation and states should be exercised
in the diffusion of knowledge regard
ing it and in instruction as to methods,
security and economical development.
Gust as agriculture was being taken
hold of by the states and the nation"
said the speaker leach supplementing
the other in useful work, so mining
should be taken hold of.
1--WE should have Immediately a ma
tional department of bureau of mines
and a national school of mines in each
state, and publications made regarding
scientific mining similar to those now
made regarding scientific agriculture.
1.-THE national department of mines
should be the clearing house Of the
states as to useful information to be
utilized everywhere"

berry have caused losses to the people
of the eastern states of as much more
than that amount as the business of
the rest of the country exceeds that or
miners in volume and value.
1t is quite possible, too, that an alert,
enlightened and patriotic secretary of
mining, having grasped the full sig
nificance and sensitiveness of real
money and the effects of it's increase
and decrease on the business of a
country, would be able, after while.
to suggest for the country a financial
system not founded on an interest
bearing debt for the people to pay the
interest on annually, and not contem-
plating the making of that debt and
the payment of that interest perpetual.
1 hope the demand of this congress
that the office of secretary of mining
be created will meet with unanimous
assent.

DELEGATES DISCUSS
QUESTION OF SILVER
department OF MINING Is
FAVORED BY ALL
Several Stirring Addresses Made Be-
fore Congress - White Metal
Restoration Is Subject of
General Debate
LBy Associated Press.l

GOLDFIELD, New, Sept. 2S.-Much
matter of interest was laid before the
assembled delegates of the American
mining congress today during the first
business session of the annual meeting
OF the body. The efforts of the con-
gress to secure greater commercial US
age of silver and the need of a national
mining department were the principal
topics, although the address of A. B.
Ruggles of San Francisco on the i'm
portant part played by the stock ex-
change of that city in the development
of the mines of the Comstock lode, and
that of Herman Zadig of San Fran
cisco, in which the broker sharply ar
raigned the practice of Incorporating
mining companies with non -assessable
stock, were well received.
All the speakers of the day referred
to the historic days of the Comstock,
but none pictured the excitement of
that time as did Mr.. Ruggles. He ex-
pressed the gratitude of California to
Nevada for the wealth that was drawn
from those mines in the early days, and
declared that California stood ready
to back Nevada in the new era on
which she has entered
Because of the lateness of the hour,
the report of the committee on Verti-
cal side lines was referred to the COM
mittee on resolutions without reading.
This action brought forth protests from
some delegates, and the chairman
promised that the resolution would be
presented later.
Pinchot Supported
A resolution was presented by Russell
Dunn, San Francisco engineer, calling
on the department of the interior to
remove certain forestry restrictions In
its wording the resolution suggested an
attack on the administration of the for
estry department. From talk among
the delegates about the hotels it is
evident that strong opposition to any
censure of Clifford Pinchot, chief for
ester, will develop on the floor. Sew
eral delegates have declared themselves
converts to the forest conservation
plans.
Tomorrow the delegates will have
little time for the transaction of busi-
ness, as they go to Tonopah, the pio-
neer camp of this part of the state
A session of the congress will be held
there but it will not convene until late
in the afternoon and will continue in
to the night.
With the arrival of several belated
trains today many men whose names
are widely known in the mining world
were added to the delegations present
at the American Mining congress, and
the convention settled down to busi-
ness with the opening of a discussion
of the silver question.
No political aspect of the question
was permitted to come up.
Discuss Silver Question
The address of C. C. Goodwin of
Salt Lake City, entitled Some Sug-
gestions for the Settlement of the
Silver Question" was called for by
President Richards, but before it was
presented the correspondence between
Secretary Callbraith of the congress
and j. II. Galbraith, president of The
United States Steel Products company,
relative to this question, was read at
the request of a Nevada delegate.
A telegram from John Hays Ham
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-29
coMsTocKER MAKES PLEA
FOR AssEssABLE STOCK

GOLDFIELD, Sept. 2S.-Herman Ia
dig, the veteran Comstocker, made a
plea for assessable stock in mining
companies and declared it was this
system of raising funds that made the
success of many of the great mines of
the Comstock. He said in part:
Tile men in control of the different
Comstock mines, when they started
their interpretations, Incorporated them
on the assessment plan. They also saw
to it at the time that the directors
were men of integrity; that the Off
GERS were well paid. The presidents
and secretaries received big salaries.
The secretaries did not need to take q
chance that there would be lots OF
transfers in order that they might earn
a salary, which to a great extent is the
custom prevailing now among nearly
all the mining companies of Nevada
outside of the Comstocks.
Gentlemen, you cannot get a good
man cheap. l never could. Cheap
men, like cheap goods, are dear. l pc
lieve in high wages.
1.-The system of making mining
shares worcestershire when you in
corporate a company is absolutely
wrong. You are giving the public a
gold brick when you ask them to in
vest in worcestershire shares.
mo doubt a great many VIII au-
vance the argument that If the COM
pany is on the assessment plan the
insiders are able to put up jobs, cover
up ore bodies and assess the people
out of their shares. Ny answer, to you
on that point is that when you have
dishonest directors, no matter whether
the stock is asSessable or non-aSsessa-
BILE, cuts no figure as regards freezing
out the minority stockholders. If the
directors want to be dishonest they
can run the company into debt, have
the property sold by the sheriff ana
have a confederate on the outside buy
it in. 1t is very hard to guard your
self against dishonest officials. FOR
that reason YOU must try to elect men
as directors who are known for their
integrity"
