Why hesitate to raise the Maine?
The government of the United States
had resolved to go to war with Spain
when the Maine was dispatched to
cuban waters. Nay, war was discussed
as early as the presidential inaugura-
ton day. 1t was the delay, the hesi-
tation and the "pihiing" over a casus
belli that gave opportunity for the loss
of the Maine. Even if the Maine had
not been destroyed there would have
been war with Spain.

"I can hardly say anything regard
ing my impressions of this great
southwest" said Mr.. Brock yesterday,
"but there is one thing that l wish
Canada had-oil resources such as ex-
ist here. This is destined to be one
of the greatest sections of territory on
the globe.
Canada is still in an undeveloped
state, though it is being rapidly opened
up. We have wondrously rich mining
resources, which I must say were first
brought to attention through Ameri-
can prospectors. Americans have done
much toward awakening Canada to
her riches.
"Our problems in the Dominion in
regard to mines and mining closely
follow those of America, and hope
to go home with information which
may aid in the solution of these ques-
tions.
1.-THE problem of conservation has
not troubled us greatly, inasmuch as
the greater part of Canada's land still
belongs to the government. Some of
the provinces lease mining claims only
for a term of years. This is true of
Nova Scotia. Public opinion in Can
ada strongly favors the conservation
of natural resources.
"From what 1 have seen of this
southern land from the train windows
1 cannot help but be impressed by its
wonderful agricultural richness. The
climate here is warmer by far than
that which I have been used to, though

greater field would be open to mining
in all its branches, through the port
of Los Angeles.
President Buckley, in responding,
said the key was big enough for a
walking stick and that the members
of the congress would lean upon 1t
when necessary. :
Following the mayor, Joseph Scott,
president of the Los Angeles chamber
of commerce, spoke a few words in
welcome for the commercial body he
represents. He paid high tribute to
the mining men, the hardy spirits or
the desert that have paved the way for
civilization in this western country.
After inviting the mining men to the
chamber of commerce, he said that
there they would see what Los An
geles has done and can do in the way
of boosting.
1--WE are not afraid to tell Of what
we have out here" said Mr.. Scott,
''We have built up this country on grit,
nerve and good climate. We have
everything here that could be asked,
and we owe a lasting debt to the min
ing men who have done so much In

munity."
REGRET CALLBREATHS ILLNESS
E. A. Montgomery, president of the
Sierra Madre club, the organization
that was instrumental in bringing the
congress here this year, welcomed the
mining men in behalf of the club, as
a practical mining man, who. as he said
in his address, has spent the greater
part of his life in the mining business,
following 1t from prospector until he
had become a mine owner and operator.
He said all mining men-the real
thing-were fraternal, and that the
brotherhood existing among them could
never be severed owing to the peculiar
circumstances attendant upon the
hardships of the desert and in the
operating of mines.
Frank G.. Tyrrell spoke in behalf of
the great southwest, which the people
of this region generally believe Is COM
prised in the states of Southern Call
fornia, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico
and the west coast of old Mexico.
A resolution of regret was passed on
account of the absence through illness
of James F. Callbreath, jr., secretary
of the congress. Mr.. Callbreath Is In
the city and will try to attend some of

Sierra Madre club was appointed sec
retary pro tenn of the congress, and

he can be present in person.
Delegates of the several states ana
territories were assigned separate parts
of the theater auditorium for private
meetings during the convention.

MORNING SESSION

The congress was formally opened
at 1O:S0 o'clock yesterday morning,
when President 3. r. Buckley took the
chair and introduced Alden Anderson,
who spoke in behalf of Governor Gill
lett, who could not be present owing
to official business which detained him
at Sacramento. Mr.. Anderson, eX-
pressing the wishes of Governor Gill
lett, said that the state of California,
in which mining in the west had it's
birth, was ever for the mining men,
and wished that everything would be
done at this congress favorable to the
mining interests Of the state. He said
that legitimate mining was entitled to
the support Of all people of the state,
and that the business interests In gen
eral should cooperate with those of
mining.
Mayor George Alexander was intro
duced and presented President Buck
ley in behalf Of the delegates to the
American Mining congress with a huge
key, made of wood-a California
product, to be sure-saying that this
particular instrument was the KEY to
Los Angeles and would admit the dele
gates, their families and friends to
everything in town that was lust and
in keeping with good government. The
mayor referred to the oil industry and
what great things had been accom-
plished both in oil and metal mining
in sixty years, and said that with the
completion OF the Panama canal a,

AFTERNOON SESSION

The afternoon session was taken up
with responses from delegates repre-
senting their respective states. A num-
Der of western states were repreSen-
I'd, together with several eastern states
producing minerals. These delegates
were official representatives and are
here not only as delegates to the con-
gress but also as a courtesy to the
governors of their states. Among the
prominent speakers Of the afternoon
were Byron E. Shear of Colorado, Col.
L. w. Powell and Gen. A. j. Samp-
son Of Arizona, e. H. Benjamin OF
California (San Francisco) d. w.
Brunton of Colorado, James W. ABB
bott of Nevada, John Dern OF Utah
and David Ross of Illinois.
Colonel Powell, who is one of the
most influential mining men In the
west and a knight errant in the de-
fense of Arizona said that the time
was not far distant when Arizona
would prove to be the most resource
full state in the Union. The word state
was emphasized, for as Col. Powell
and all true Arizonans believe, the ter
ritory will soon have star in the
national flag.
NEW STAR IN FLAG
General Sampson followed Colonel
Powell. He was eloquent In his re-
marks and paid the highest tribute to
the resources, the men, and the state
of Arizona. General Sampson said that
the United States had risen to the
top among the mineral producing ma
tions and that while the east held the
majority in population it was a fact
that the mineral resources of Arizona
had brought many thousands of the
casts best citizens to the territory and
that the lure of the great community
would bring many thousands more in
the near future. He said he thought
there were better advantages for min
ing in Arizona than in any other place
In the entire world. He reviewed the
history of the territory from the time
when 1t was nothing above ground,
paying a high tribute to the hardy
pioneer who brought greatness out of
the immense dormant resources.
There were no bitches them" said
General Sampson, "but now some of
the greatest irrigation projects in the
world are in operation and land is
worth 5000 an acre. What do you
think of that for progress? Arizona
must foster mining in all It's branches
and Arizona has the mines"
General Sampson touched upon con-
servation by saying that all the people
of Arizona ask to be left alone to de-
