MINING CONGRESS AND
NEW HEADQUARTERS

Eight years ago, at a gathering OF the
American Mining congress In Portland,
Or, the delegates established the per-
manent headquarters of the organiza tion
in Denver Practically the only other
rival for the honor was Salt Lake City
and the Utah capital has since endeav-
organization away from Colorado. Salt
Lake City has frequently asserted its
Willingness to raise fund for the erec-
ton OF building. or permanent home, +"
Tor the mining congress. and IL is said
10 have had a high-cla guarantee OF
$4,000. together with Two city lots, as
a means OF persuasion In 1904, At the
forthcoming session In Spokane Wash
1t Is understood the people OF Salt Lake
City will be prepared TO renew the con-
test and TO offer substantial Inducements
to the congress to remove its headauar-
tiers from Denver, urging as further
reason that Denver has never made any
exceptional provision for the organza
ton There is some reason for believ-
Ing that Salt Lake . City may be more
successful than formerly,
While Mining Science is published from
Denver. it is the representative OF an
industry and not Of any city. 1t there
the matter. except TO call attention to
the facts and to remind the mining men
OF Colorado that the American Mining
congress, which was organized In this
state fifteen years ago, has grown to be
very influential organization, compris-
ing large membership both in the metal
mining and in the coal mining regions.
The congress is national factor of a
great deal OF Importance, and II ls a
credit to Denver both to have brought
It into being and to possess the head
quarters, II Denver mining men wish to
retain the headquarters here. as they
undoubtedly should. they will lose no
time In preparing to meet any efforts
that may be made to take them away.
A good deal has been said about the
advisa bility OF establishing the headquar
ters Of the congress in Washington, ID.
c., while maintaining separate headquar
ters In the west. In some ways this
would seem to be a wise move, the par
tIcular reason being that the activities
Of the organzatlon must be to a great
extent political. Much has been done in
the direction OF urging or retarding leg"
islation designed to affect the interests
OF the metal and coal miners. and ii Is
certainly proper and important that the

GREAT GROWTH NOTED
IN COAL PRODUCTION

In 1914 the total amount OF coal pro-
duced in the United States was twenty
two short tons, all OF it anthracite. the
next year fifty short tons were mined; ;
the next year, seventy-fiye short tons.
and in 1919 the total quantity mined was
able increase, however. in 1920. when
3450 short tons were mined. and two
years later the quantity was 6S,5S3 short
tons, due TO the entrance Of Virginia In
the field. with an output OF $4,000 short
tons or bitumlnous coal, From that time
coal mining increased with leaps and
bounds, so that at the close OF the first
was 23.6O5,12S short tons.
This figure. however, Will be consid-
cred remarkably small when II Is noted
that the output OF the mines Of the Uni
ted States in 1900 was 269, ,6s4.027 short
tons. The largest annual output so far
recorded was that OF 1910 which was
SOL .596.S7s short tons. In 1911 the total
short tons The anthracite coal industry
has increased from twenty two short
tons In 1914 to 90. 46&0a7 short tons In
1911. The largest quantity yet recorded
The total amount Of anthracite coal pro-
duced since 1914 Is 2,270.79s,737 short

The total amount Of bituminous coal
produced by American mines since the
beginning OF the industry Is 6,A6S. .7T3. 500

SMALL BONDS BEING
MADE MORE POPULAR

The problem OF attracting investors of
limited means into the bond market by
smaller denomination than the customary
$1,000 has been solved to considerable
extent by those bond dealers who have
made 1t their particular work TO build
up the Industry OF selling securities in
popular denominations" The result Of
the work of these dealers is having
decided influence in lifting from the mar
ket part Of the bulk Of bonds which for
tone in that particular field OF the III
nancial world. In view OF the success
that has consistently attended the efforts
Of bankers offering bonds in units of
$500 and $1,000. there has been serious dis
cussion in many quarters Of the possibn-
lty that change in the denomination
Of bonds may be near at hand. In view
OF the governments provision for the in
vestment OF postal savings deposits In
government bonds, running from 500 and
multiples thereof 10 500 and $500, a
new investment field has been opened for
the employment OF small sums. the con-
sequences OF which may be far-reaching.
Undoubtedly there are great possibilities
open TO industrial and railroad corpora
tions TO increase their capital and their
security with the people through offering
inducements to men and women OF linn
tied means to become their partners,
Bankers are not necessarily opposed to
handling bonds of smaller denomina tions
than $1,000 merely because they do not
evince an enthusiasm for 500 bonds. Un-
like the foreign investor, the American
has never been accustomed to buying Sc
curities in denominations as low as IS.
and the entire machinery OF our bond
houses has been built up for accommoda-
tIon Of large purchasers OF mortgage Is
sues. rather than for the small investors.
Consequently the bankers cannot be ex-
pected 20 take enthusiastically to the
plans which are heard lntermittently OF
"populariZing" the entire field of bonds,
The standard denomination OF the bulk
of American mortgage issues has long
been $1,000, and il is likely 10 remain at
that figure indefinitely, nevertheless. ii
remains for the public to evlnce a sub
stantial demand for bonds OF small de-
nominations. In which event the bankers
Will find IL profitable to demand the 500
bonds from the corporations. SO that the
small investor OF the country may be
afforded an opportunity for profitable and
conservative Investment in sound bonds.
Institutions. estates and capitalists Will
always be the principal buyers of bonds.
so that there is no possibility of lowering
the denomination OF these securities to
place them on a level with stocks, But
the number Of standard bonds which are
today classed among those which offer
opportunity for investment TO the man
with less than $1,000, shows how far the
drift has carried In the past few years.
A great number of Issues listed IN the
New York Stock exchange are included
in those which are TO be purchased in
denominations OF 800 or $500. the list
