Dental chair Mr.. George H. Dern
! of Utah is surely sound selection
for third vice president. He is cap
able of being of great service to the
congress especially with his practical
knowledge of mine management and
examples from his father.
1t would scarcely be recognizable
as the American Mining Congress
unless Mr.. James F. Calbreath had
been again reelected as secretary.
This is the tenth time Mr.. Calbreath
has had this honor thrust upon him
He is intensely industrious in his
office and untiring in his energies
and sacrifices for the welfare of the
congress. In fact it would have ne
Yer achieved the Importance it has
to-day, without that hard work and
wonderful organizing capabilities of
Mr.. Calbreath.
DR.. Wolcott remains as assistant
secretary and this is as it should be.
He is a wheel horse for work and
surmounti1g difficulties. 1t is almost
entirely owing to his untiring energy
and endeevor that il has been ma lie
possible to organize the Arizona chal-
Ter. Tho congress would lose much
without his effort.
The following were the subjects of
resolutions, which are supposed to
crystalline the sentiment of the con-
gress, have been introduced as fol-
lows:
l. For opening copper markets, by
George H. Dern passed
>. For putting prospectors on same
footing as homesteader, by j, B. Bur
roughs.
3. For releasing prospectors from
arduous obligations to government
during present hard times. Resou-
lions based on bill submitted by Hon
: Harvey B. Ferguson, representative in
congress from New Mexico
4. Colorado river reservation.
;. To recommend federal appropri-
,ations of funds for state mine schools.
6. To recommend federal appropria-
tons be increased for mine expert
ment and mine safety stations and to
increase number of former from 10
to y. by w. b. Phillips and r. c.
Allen.
l. To stimulate the production of
radium in the United States, by offer
ing both u market for it under feder-
al control and by making it easier for
the mineral to be developed by w. G.
= Swart
s. To recommend a uniform safety
= bell system throughout the United
States, and TO put the control of such
things under the bureau of mines, by
W. G. Swart.
3. To enable the bureau of mines
to be enlarged and extended, and tC
: provide for its indefinite growth nd
continuance in power, by w c. Swart
The subjects certainly cover a very
varied and wide scope and are wei
worthy of careful study and con
sideration.
OF course. as was to be expected
Mr. Carl Scholz was again elected
president. 1t was renewed honol
and confidence in him which i.
\ thoroughly deserved, he has given t
u the congress much personal effor
and has ever its welfare at heart
