Strenuous efforts were made yCster-
 day hy F. l.. Wolcott. special repre-
 sentative of the American Mining Congress. and local citizens who are taking an active part in the Urgani-
 zation of an Arizona chapter of the ! congress. to thoroughly advertise the meeting to be held tonight at the board of trade building. It is now as- Surcd that large and representative
 body. composed for the most part of mining men or persons interested in mines. will be present
 Among those who are taking d deep interest in the proposition made to
 the mining men of Arizona by Mr. WolcOtt is former Governor Joseph H. Kibbey. Judge Kibbey was seen yesterday and not only agreed to speak at toniGht's meeting but agreed to act upon the board of directors should his services he required. Gov crnor Sloan. Secretary George Young l. T. Stoddard and L T. Hosey. agreed the day before to speak.
 The leaders i'm the move to form an Arizona chapter of tine American con- gross have formed q slate which they will present tonight. They did this because they knew it would be i'm possible to get everything lined up to select q full set of officers after the meeting is called to order It will be suggested that the following be named as officers and directors: R. T.. Sloan, w. E. Twitchell. Geo. l.. Young. A. J. sampson. R. s. Burmister. Harold Baxter. l. II. Kibbey. l. T Hosey. Will bur TreadweIl. l. T. Stoddard. Rex w. Dunlap. Homer B. King. Dr. R. W. Craig. Lee II. Landis. J. C. Adams.
 The chapter will have a president, three vice presidents. treasurer. secrc- tary and nine directors Who will be selected as president is uncertain. Governor Sloan will probably be asked to take the place and w. F Twitchell is being mentioned for vice president. Secretary Young will undoubtedly be one of the officers.
 Those who drew up the slate givcl; above wish it distinctly understood that it is merely a suggestion. If q majority of those present tonight wish to change it in any way they will of fer no objection.
 An organization effected tonight will merely be q nucleus of the territori5s chapter. At later date d convention will be held in this city. Delegates will be present from every district in Arizona. The delegates will be a?- pnrtioned in accordancG with the num- Der of members of the American Mining Congress in each district. Mir wolcott believes that the Arizona chapter will start off with a member ship of not less than 200
 An effort will he made tonight to set on foot definite move to bring the annual convention of the con cress to Phoenix in 1912. This city never had big convention and the brought by Mir. Wolcott. to th,. effect that the directors Ot the congress are in favor of holding next years meeting in Arizona. has aroused wide interest The city has more than a year to work toward the end 1 of having the directors officially designate Phoenix as the place for the 1912 session. There is no disposition. however. to procrastiuate and run the chance of having the convention go to some city whose citizens are more ac- five in their efforts to land it.
