THE AMERICAN MINING
CONGRESS,
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

The first great mining show ever held
in this country will open in Philadelphia
October II, three days preceding the six
tenth annual convention OF the American
Mining Congress. This exhibition, pre-
pared at great expense is the first effort
of the organization to demonstrate to the
public the methods by which their metals
and fuel are wrested from the bowels of
the earth, frequently at tremendous haZ-
ard of human life and health. The show
will be held i'm Horticultural Hall, one
of the largest buildings in Philadelphia
available for exhibition purposes. An
imitation coal mine which contains all
the equipment of modern mine has been
erected in the cellar of this building. A
force OF regular miners will be busily en-
gagged throughout the week in demon
strating the different processes neces-
sary in bringing the coal from the bottom
of the mine to the surface of the earth.
This model mine will show all the hard
ships of mining and its unavoidable
dangers. The exhibition will contrast an
tiquated methods now being discarded
with the improved methods attained by
modern science and invention The min
ing of metals also viii be demonstrated
by different processes. The washing of
precious metals, the selection of ores,
the various kinds Of blasting powders,
the tools and machinery required and
every other available feature connected
with the mining industry will be collect
ed at this mining show for the education
OF the public.

All reside in the east and have their
principal interests there. They desired
that the Chicago public utilities should

he himself was a heavy holder of gas
stock, Mr. insult only recently purchased

U. S. TRADE WITH LATIN

Department of Commerce Figures
Show Exports to ALI Countries
Increasing Rapidly.

Latin America is getting to be one OF
the leading customers of the United
States. and. judging from figures just
made public by the Department of Com
merce, is responding rapidly TO all the
strings that are being pulled in an effort
to increase the trade between those
countries and the United States. Latin
America, of course, includes all of South
America except the Kuianas, Central
America, Mexico. Cuba. Haiti and Santo
Domingo. Figures for the fiscal year 1913
show that 1921 900. 600 worth of exports
were shipped out of the United States to
these countries, against S1Os, 100000 in
1900. an increase of 1871 per cent.
Likewise, the imports into the United
States from this territory show large
gains, the total in 1913 having been Sill
100000. against s162,o0o.oo in 1860

while to Mexico the exports of 1900
were S35 .000. 600 and in 1913. $54.oOU,OoO.
Exports to Uruguay show a very

merchandise sent to that country IN
1900 having been less than S2.0OO,00o,
and in 1913. $500, 600. To Peru the ex-
ports increased from S1.666,0OO In 1900

The greatest number of fatalities, In pro-

This session the members of the mining
congress will give considerable attention
to the subject of the taxation OF mining
lands, in view of the laws which have
recently been passed in Pennsylvania and
Arizona In the latter state the mines
pay literally half the taxes of the state.
In some parts of the country undeveloped
coal land, which may be left idle for
century, Is being taxed at it's full value
This heavy taxation, which has recently
been increased In some states, may go
toward increasing the cost of living. The
tax upon unproductive land must be paid
out of the coal which is being produced
from the active mines. An Increase of 10
cents a ton in the coal as it is taken out
Of the mine may mean an increase of %

decides by chemical analysis when a SAM

cious metal to make mine worth operat-

plies the science at his command to the
development of an economical process of
securing the gold. He has a large as

produces the greatest bulk. The coal
