India, on the other hand, is TO have u

While the production of silver in the
United States has shown relatively small

MINING CONGRESS VS..
WESTERN INTERESTS

Already rumblings are heard from Chi
caEo that the recent session Of the
American Mining congress was far from
satisfactory one from the standpoint
Of the western metal miner. Private
advices have il that the eastern coal in
terests are by far in the majority. and
that not anything OF especial help or i'm
portance TO the metal mining indus
try was passed at the session. Every
thing was coal, coal coal.
What we need" writes one western
metal mine operator who was dele
gate 10 the session. "is two organlza-
tions, One made UP Of the eastern
coal operators. the other OF western
metal mining operators. The two branches
should be divorced / don't suppose any
news of the convention was wired homo
as the Chicago papers arc absolutely
silent on the deliberations OF the con-
gress. No more cast for me for mining
conventions.'
