influence Of the mining men of the ma
ton, if directed intelligently, will b.
i~ncalculable. A great waste is going on
in the habit of wasting u own vitality
and resourcefulness.
Nevada has produced great men
from mining because mining in that day
required great thought and study and
the men who handled the situation
made themselves great. Indeed, mining
is the one element that adds an inspir-
ing influence to human activity. Agri-
culture and mining should be in cooper
alton, the two greatest industries of
the country
The speaker paid a high tribute to
the first vice president, DIR. Buckley,
and his services to the congress, and
impressed upon the members the fact
that the organization has passed
through its childhood stage and is now
e~ndeavoring to conduct it's work strictly
along business lines. After describing
what he believed to be an ideal per-
manent headquarters of the organiza-
tion, with its own building, library,
magnificent ore collections, etc., Presi-
lent Richards said that he would re.
tire from office at this session.
William c.. Ralston, the leading spirit
of the San Francisco delegation was
the last speaker of the evening, making
a happy and interesting talk, compli-
menting Goldfeld upon its progress
and predicting great things for the flu
ture.
He recited how, about -four years
ago, he visited Goidield and later made
a report to the San Francisco stock ex-
change, which was exceedingly favor.
able and predicted that the ore here
would go to great depth. This state
ment was scoffed at by government and
other biologists who declared that here
it was but a matter of surface show
ings. Subsequent results, the speaker
proudly asserted, had proved his guess
of those early days.
On motion of Mr.. R~alston, upon ad-
iournment, the congress did so in re.
spect to the two miners still resting in
the Hampton stope.

Resolved, that the members of the

~terta;ned and boosted in a fashion that
made one great big hit. The affair was
a feast-a feast of viands and wit, and
well spoken passages. No n who saw
the Los Angeles boosters in action that
night and heard their hearty remarks
could gain other than the impression
that southern California appreciates
Goldfeld and Nevada, and everyone
from Goldfeld, participating in the
happy evening thoroughly appreciates
the spiri. of the members of the Sierra
Madre club.
Nothing was left undone to make the
occasion a pleasing one. sidney Nor
man, the secretary and n of the "live
wires" of the organization, presided in
able fashion, expressing from time to
time, as he introduced the speakers, the
love he entertains for the south lands
of Nevada and California. Not Incl
dentally he declared that his delegation
was out to capture the American Mining
Congress of 1910, and had already sub
scribed $4,000 as an inducement. NJ. A.
Fan, presiding at the press table, was
an able assistant to Secretary Norman
in promoting and keeping up the spirit
of the occasion.
The oratorical gem of the evening was
delivered by Judge +. G. Tyrill of Los
Angeles. That gentleman possesses a
flow of beautiful diction and keen wit
that can even do justice to the beauty
Of the gardens and orchards of the
citrus belt. He proved last evening
that he could also pay the proper tri-
butte to the zone of gold The speaker
was also especially good in his remarks
regarding the relations that naturally
exist between Los Angeles and Gold
field.
In behalf of Goldfeld and Nevada,
Senator Morehouse spoke eloquently as
did Joe Hutchinson. Congressman Bart
lett and c. s. Sprague, the latter in
behalf of the Chamber of Commerce,
also voiced their sentiments. Douglas
White for Los Angeles made some very
happy remarks and the affair was final
ly brought to a close with a round of
cheers for the southern California dele
cation.

"High-graders'' last night made a
bold raid on the car containing prac-
tically all of the ore donated to tie
state university from the Mineral Pal

exhibit which had been shown here dur
ing the Mining Congress. During the
past few days since the Mineral Palace
closed Professor Young and assistants
from the state university have been
packing up the exhibits that were to
be sent to the university at Reno, and
most of it had been placed in a car on
the Goldfeld Trading and Transfer
company s tracks, awaiting the final
consignments which were to be put in
today.
When the last load was placed in the
car yesterday afternoon both doors of
the car were securely padlocked, and
no attempt to break into the car was
anticipated. Some time during the

the interior of the ear in an effort to
locate the high grade ores which they
believed were in the EAR. The exhibit
sent here by the School of Mines was
not molested, as it was buried under
tons of other ore.
The highgraders were disappointed in

raid was Disappointing. The raid was

anyone but the "high-graders.'

Ross Is a Jester.

Before entering into the serious side
of his address, Mr.. Ross made interest
ing remarks regarding Goldfeld and
her fame. He compared the discovery
of gold at this spot ON the desert to
the sound of the guns at the battle of
Lexington; the latter having announced
the separation of this nation from the
mother country; the former starting the
separation of the people from their
cash. 1t was a facetious comparison
and brought considerable laughter.
In the same vein he further remark
ed that there was no telling what would
happen at any time on the deserts of
Nevada Over a day some prospector
might open up a ledge that would lead
to results that would make accomplish
lnents to date look like a second mort
gage on an Indian wigwam.

ADJOURNED SATURDAY

Shortly after noon on Saturday and
Alaska, the twelfth annual session of
the American Mining Congress adj
iourned sine die. Los Angeles, through
its representative, Sidney Norman, had
the last "say' of the big c%onclave, the
declaration being that the southern Cal
ifornia metropolis was sure of landing
the next meeting of the congress be-
cause the Los Angelenos never go after
anything but what they land it.
The last official act of the congress
was the presentation by its members of
a testimonial of regard to it's retiring
president, j. H. Richards of Boise, Ida
no, who with this session, leaves the
leadership of the organization after hav-
ing been elected to the presidency seven
successive times. A beautiful solid sill
yer, fve-piece coffee and tea service is
the token of the appreciation of the
members of the most excellent leader
ship afforded by Mr.. Richards.
The presentation speech was made by
Joseph Hutchinson, chairman of the To-
cal executive committee, his remarks
being not alone directed to the retiring
president, Mrs. Richards name being
coupled with that of her husband. The
speaker in impressive words expressed
the hope that when Mr.. Richards and
his wife sat down before the service in
the future they would remember the
respect and appreciation held toward
them by every member of the congress
''from New York to Alaska, from
Rainier Club to the Sierra Madre club
In replying and accepting, Judge
Richards expressed his pleasure that
the name of his wife had been linked
with him in the presentation and in
this connection took occasion to pay a
high and beautiful tribute to wifehood
and womanhood. He said that the mem
cries of his seven wears association
with the congress as its president was
and always would be the most valuable
asset of his life.
