year. when the convention will gather this city is likely to have paved streets and numerous apart mcnt houses now projected will have been completed
 "l cant promise Phoenix the 1912 ,unvention. but | think it is absolutely certain that the session will be held somewhere in Arizona. if one of your cities can guarantee to take care of the thousand or fifteen hundred dele gates and hundreds of other people who will attend " said Mir. WolcOtt yesterday.
 The main purpose of Mir. WOlcott's trip through Arizona is to get mem bers of the American Mining Con grcss in this territory lined up for an Arizona chapter. He has visited Globe. Douglas. Bisbee Tucson, Drd- soon. Johnson and several other places Not one person has he met who is not enthusiastic over the pro- pOsal
 Chapters of the congress have been organized in several states. including Colorado and Nevada one k now being formed in Montana. It k the ann OI the ledutTS or tllf congress- tb have chapters in all states and ter ritOries where the mining industry is extensive. This plan has been found to be a vast improvement over the old Formerly members paid their dues direct tO headquarters and therr was nothing left over for local work. Under the chapter system dues are paid to the chapter organization and half goes to the congress. while half is retained for use in the state or territory where they are paid. Within it's own jurisdiction a chapter can do effective and valuable work which the national congress cannot take up at all The recent work of the Col orado chapter in preventing the pas sage of laws detrimental to the in dustry is an illustration.
 T have met with the greatest en- couragement in every part of Arizona that I have visited" said MT. Vol colt My mission is not to secure new members for our congress. but
Arizona republican., 1911-03-01

He brings word that the board of directors at meeting to be held in Salt Lake the 9th or 6th of this month, is almost sure to designate Chicago as the convention city for this year. He also declares that he knows the directors 10 be favorable 60 the holding of the convention in Arizona next year Although he is not authorized tO say so. he states that Phoenix has an opportunity to secure the 1912 meeting if she can show herself capable Of accOmmo- dating the five or aiX hundred people certain to attend the session.
 Although the last convention, held in Los Angeles. decided to hold the next one in Arizona, the matter was left to the discretion of the directors. It has been generally presumed that the directors would merely select the city in Arizona at which the 1911 convention should meet but Mir. Vol colt states that they have about de- cided, for various reasons. tO name Chicago this years convention city.
 The main reason for the selection of Chicago is the assistance given iN tile llllulI west Tn RtIllnE through congress the bill providing for d federal bureau of mines. An other is that the American Mining Congress is an eastern as well as western organization and the last two conventions have been held in the southwest at Goldfield and Los Angeles. It is feared that if three successive conventions come tO the southwest the east will forget that there is such body as the mining congress.
 Douglas has made a strong bid for the 1911 convention. making a guar antee of SS.0O0 tO pay the expenses of the session. Phoenix has done nothing toward securing the con gross because she realizes the great number of people sure to at tend and doubted her ability to ac- commodate them all prior to the completion of the Hotel Adams. There will no longer be any doubt on this score in 1912 By the fall of that

There is no doubt that large deposits of ores and minerals of commercial value are lying undisturDed in this territory because no one knows what they are. Mr. Wolcott says that if Colorado had had such laboratory the zine ores Of Leadvilie would have been made use of long before it was acci- dentally discovered that they had value
 It is Mr Wolcott's intention Co re- main in Phoenix until Monday. He will devote his time to interviewing mining men and persons interested in mines and will make particular ef- forts to see all local members of the mining congress. Baxter.

THE PATRIOTISM OF LOUISIANA

Associate Justice White Of tha United States supreme court and Admiral Schley were standing in the street be- fore an election bulletin board last fall when Justice White told this story.
 The year that Cleveland and Hen dricks were elected Hendricks went down tO Louisiana to hunt and fish and rest up after the work of the campaign. I was with him a good deal While he was greatly pleased with the results of the election. the thing that gave him the most qualification was that tho peoplesof Indiana had been So patriotic and enthusiastic that they had turned out in great numbers to vote.
