EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WILL
KEEP MAIN OFFICE IN TON
oPAH TEMPORARILY.

John G. Kirehen, general manager
of the Tonopah Extension Mining
company, was yesterday elected pres
ident OF the Nevada Mine Owners
association at a meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee held in this city
In addition the committee selected
Albert Burch of the Godfield Con
solidated as first vice president and
Fred J. Siebert of Reno as second
vice president. No action was taken
toward naming the seventh member
of the executive committee and it is
possible that this action will be de-
ferred until the new organization has
been perfected in every detail and
the scope of membership increased
to include the copper operators in
the eastern part of the state.
w. B. Alexander, who resigned as
secretary and treasurer of the Mon
tana Tonopah company to accept a
like position with the new associa
ton, severed his connection with the
Montana today, this being the date
on which the resignation became eff
fective Mr. Alexander will main
tain offices in the State Bank build
ing and will devote his entire time
to managing the affairs of the new
organization. 1t was decided that
Tonopah be made the temporary
headquarters until the scope of the
association is completely formed. The
majority of the executive committee
reside in this camp and owing to the
necessity of frequent consultations
between the committee and the sec
retary it was decided that the offic,
be located here for at least severa
months.
The officials are now formulating
plans that are intended to work ou
for the welfare of both the operator
of the state and the men employed
