THE MINING CONGRESS.

The American Mining Congress, which will meet next week at spo- kane. Wash. promises reconsider mat ters relative to the welfare of Alas ka. The Congress calls itself a prac- tical organization, "deyoting itself to the economic, administrative and commercial, and to what might be termed mining politics, rather than to the technical phases of mining"
 It deals with conservation in it's truest sense." which it defines as meaning the highest possible use with the least possible waste. It is Ques- ton of waste prevention, and it's con sideration is most greatly needed where the greatest waste prevails.
 The mining congress in the past, has also busted itself with the ques- tion Of railroad transportation in Alas ka. and if we mistake not, bill was prepared by a committee represent ing the mining congress and intro duced at Washington authorizing the construction or purchase or both, of one thousand miles of railroad from the coast to the interior It is still in Congress and will probably ap- pear again at the coming session of that body.

And this statement renews the discussion as to whether the Japan Current has really changed. The question is pure ly hypothetical We do not thirk that the Japan Current has budged an inch. But perhaps the climate of the Alaska coast has changed. or is in process of changing, Probably, there is little doubt Of it. It is gradually growing warmer-would that it could be said dryer.
 However. it is not a safe bet by any means. We are just on the edge Of the winter season on this part Of the Alaska coast, and it is rather early to indulge in speculation or make predictions as to the quality Of weather we may expect.
