new HOME FOR MIN.
ing CHAMBER

A special meeting of the board of
directors of the Los Angeles Chamber
OF Mines was held August 4th to dis
cuss plans and consider ways and
means for the erection of a contemplat
ed Chamber of Mines building in Los
Angeles. If the plans now in tenta-
tive state are developed and carried
out as anticipated, the Los Angeles
Chamber of Mines will have build
ing of its own not only for its head
quarters, but also as a center for of
fees of mining and oil producing CON-
panies, mining engineers, machinery
and supply houses, in short, general
mining headquarters.
Under the plans being discussed, it
is proposed to erect or lease building
with store space on the ground floor;
offices, exhibit halls, reading room and
assembly hall for the chamber on the
second floor; the balance of the build
ing to be devoted to general Offices
Inc ChamDer or Mines Is one of the
most active and progressive of the civic
institutions of Los Angeles and has ac.
complished great deal during the
two and a half years of its existence
for the mining industry generally, its
influence being made effective in a
great many public affairs. Its member.
ship has been growing at rapid rate
during the past SIX months, and it is
our opinion that the institution is one
well meriting not only the moral but
financial support of every operating
company in the southwest, as well as
every public-spirited citizen interested
in any of the various phases of the
mining and oil industries.

tered the ministry late in life, but held
