NORTHWEST MINING CONvEN-
TION AT SPOKANE, WASH.

Plans for the convention of mining
men from the United States, Alberta
and British Columbia, to be held in
Spokane, Feb. 15, 16 and II, 1912,
are rapidly assuming form, and the
promoters of the gathering anticipate
most enthusiastic and instructive
meeting. Committees charged with
handling the several departments and
features of the work to be accomplish
ed have been appointed, and there is
now every assurance that this will be
record breaker in both attendance
and interest. Men of national repu-
tation have been invited to be pres
ent, and addresses will be made on
all subjects related to the mining in
dustry. Prospectors and others en-
gagged in the business of mining,
whether as directors of mining COM
panies, superintendents of operation,
foremen of working mines, machine
men, mining engineers, working min
ers, or as investors in mining stocks,
are all to be made welcome and given
place and opportunity to be heard
and seen.
Several special features will be
worked out which are not usual in
conventions of this character. The
convention will hold three sessions
daily for three days, at the Spokane
hotel, and all mining districts are ask
ed to send or bring their best speci-
mems of ore for exhibition. The mines
of the inland empire can furnish as
fine display of specimens as can be
found in the United States, an this
feature is sure to be of more than or
dinary interest to the visitors, as well
as to the citizens of Spokane and the
eastern tourists who may chance to
see the display. One afternoon during
the convention is to be set aside for
short addresses by men representing
the various districts represented. This
will afford investors as well as oper-
ators much-desired opportunity to
learn what they wish to know about
the mines in which they have an es-
pecial interest.
