AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS
Many Important Subjects Will Be
Discussed at Meeting at Spokane
In November.

One of the most important subjects
to be considered at the meeting of the
American Mining Congress, which will
be held at Spokane, Wash, November
1929, will be that of the proposed Met
allurgical Investigations 20 be carried
on by the Federal Bureau of Mines.
In almost every mining district in
the United States there are large de-
posits of ore carrying a number of
valuable metals, but not enough Of any
one metal to pay the cost of extraction
by any known method.
That cheap methods Of extracting
these metals can be devised, if metal
lurgical Investigations are carried far
enough, is the belief of every metal
lurgist who has given the subject any
consideration.
The time and expense necessary to
carry these investigations to a sue
cessful issue practically places the
subject beyond the reach of the indi-
vidual, while if such a method should
be devised by an individual or corpora.
ton, the results would not be availa.
BILE to the small mine owner because OF
the royalty which would be exacted for
the use of the method.
The American Mining Congress, rec
ognizing these facts, early began a
campaign to have the government car
ry on such metallurgical investigations
as would lead to this desirable result
The first step was in securing the
creation of a Bureau Of Mines, through
which the work could be carried on
Two years ago the Bureau of Mines
was created, but in its passage
through Congress, the bill creating the
bureau was so amended as to virtually
limit the work of the bureau to the
coal mining industry.
During the past session of Congress
bill was introduced, broadening the
scope of the bureau, thus making II
possible to extend the work into the
field of Metal Mining, while the Sec
rotary of the Interior was induced tC
ask for an appropriation of 100000 tc
be used by the bureau for metallurgi
cal investigation.

calender for third reading and as nc
opposition has developed. it is believed
that it will pass the Senate in the early
days of the coming session.
The appropriation of 100000, asked
for by the Secretary of the Interior
was lost in the House by tie vote
but was put back in the bill by Sen
ate amendment, and finally during the
last days of the past session, the con
ference committee compromised upon
an appropriation Of $4,000, AMI it was
passed.
1t is hoped that the work done under
this and such other appropriations as
may be hereafter secured for this work
will be so serviceable to the metallif
erous mining industry of the West thai

DEAD FROM SHOCK; is REVIVED
San Francisco Electrician Is Prostrat-

ed by 22oo Volts in Body.
San Francisco.-An hours heroic
treatment brought back signs of life
here into the body of Bert Edgar, an
electrician, after he had been pro-
nounced dead from a shock of 1900
volts of electricity. Besides the shock,
Edgar was suffering from a fractured
skull, received when the electricity
threw him from a platform Is
feet above the cement floor of the
basement of a downtown office build
ing.
The accident happened at noon to-
day. Before the emergency hospital
ambulance arrived fellow workers
found no signs of life and a physician
in the building pronounced him dead
Herman Kreezmayer and Adam Baker,
ambulance attendants, decided, how
ever, that the cessation of heart ac-
ton was due to the terrific shock and
might be restored.
Baker and a patrolman ran Edgar's
apparently lifeless body up and down
the street with the feet touching the
pavement, while Kreezmayer struck
him about the chest and shoulders
and all three shouted continuously into
his ears.
After nearly an hour of treatment OF
this sort, Edgar showed signs of life
and was rushed to the hospital. He
was found to have sustained frac
tured skull and burns about the feet
and head, but has a good chance tc
recover.

Alleged Dynamiters Now Charged
with the Idea.

Indianapolis, Ind.-Pages from the
careers of the McNamaras and Ortie

The incident in reference to Pan
