100 Years Ago Today

n NE hundred years ago today the
rich city of Genoa, familiar to
all readers of American history
as the birthplace of Christopher CO.
lumbus, was taken by a force of Eng
lish and Sicilians. For centuries Genoa
had been a pawn on the chessboard
of European politics. In 1906 it had
been annexed to the French empire.
Now, in consequence of the overthrow
of Napoleon, it was Wrested from
France and some months later united
to the kingdom of Sardinia The army
that captured the city on this date 100
years ago was in command of Lord
William Bentinck, a celebrated English
general. Many years later this same
English general, while serving as gov
ernOr general of India, earned endur.
ing fame by abolishing the SUITED"
the custom in India which required
widows to be burned on the funeral
pyres Of their husbands.

AMERICAN MINING CONRGESS
17Th ANNUAL CONVENTION

The first day of the proceedings of
It's most important assembly, made
up in earnestness and sincerity what
it lacked in numbers. However, since
the opening day delegates and mem
hers arrived in fast increasing num-
bers and kept cnergetically at work
during all the sessions and commit
tee meetings which We're very num-
erOuS.
The opening ceremonies of the con-
vention were of the general feature.
Hon. Joseph H. Kibbey called the
meeting to order in his usual clever
manner and was followed by few
well chosen remarks by Hon. Richard
e Sloan Judge Sloan is always Il
pleasure to listen to, whatever may
be his topic He uses well the
Queens English and always to the
best advantage. Governor Hunt
greeted the assemblage in well
chosen and warm welcoming sent
ences. Mayor Young launched a few
ETHEREAL phrases. dissembled, his love
for a few of the mining gems and
metaphorically dropped them into the
dump. a letter touching upon many
subjects was read from President
Wilson and probably the most import
ant excerpt in the communication
was as follows:
Il am well aware of the important
part played by your great organiza :
ton in the creation of our Bureau
of Mines, and am sure that the good
work of that bureau in attempting
better to safeguard the lives of the

ardous mining and metallurgical in
dustries will continue to rebound to
your credit, as well as to the credit
of the bureau itself 1t will always
be a tribute to your foresight and
energy that this new Federal organi
zation in the short period of its eX-
istence, with the kindly cooperation
of states and their agencies. has
