WIDESPREAD INTEREST IN
MINING MEETING

Mining men of the whole state are
interested in the second annual con-
vention of The Colorado Metal Min
ing Association, which meets in Den
yer, January IL, 1915 to consider
plans for the encouragement of the
metal mining industry.
The association has had under con-
sideration several laws for the bene-
fit OF mining, which will be acted on
at the convention and presented to
the General Assembly. Local branch
es OF the association in thirty min
ing counties will be represented by
delegates.
Mining men believe that with the
close of the European war, the mines
OF this state will have a greater de-
mand upcn them than ever before in
their history, that the prices of met
ais will advance and that thousands
of miners will be given employment,
thereby increasing the population of
the mining counties and creating
prosperity through out the state.
Among the principal questions to
be considered by the convention are
mine taxation, the solution Of the
low grade ore problems, the en-
enlargement OF prospecting. tie pro-
posed Federal leasing policy and
proper support for the Bureau OF
Mines. School of Mines and State
Geological Survey.
The railroads have granted a rate
Of one full fare for the round trip
from all the distant points and reas-
enable rates from nearby points.

WYOMING OIL FIELDS

While 1t is matter of common
knowledge that Wyoming is an oil
producing state. the magnitude of its
output is not so well known. Oil is
being produced there at the rate of
approximately $4,000 barrels every
day in the year, or a grand total Of
8 1895 900 barrels per annum. To hand
lie and treat this product there are
six refineries in the state with an
aggregate daily capacity of $4,000
barrels.
The oil fields OF Wyoming are in
miles in extent; and the oil industry
there, large as it appears. is merely
on the threshold of its expansion.
Although California leads the Unit
ed States in the p-oduction of gold.
its oil wells, with an annual output
valued at s45.7O0,00o. are greater
wealth producers than its. gold mines.
The oil outflow in Wyoming increased
742 20 in 1912 and is still increas-
Ing so rapidly that in time this fav-
ored region may eclipse the Califcrn-
la record.
Wyoming produces a big variety of
crude oils. ranging trom a superior

THE new YEAR

not only in our own country, but
over the whole extent of the civil

ducts to all parts of the world.

they will make an Investigation. Sew

satisfied with making them walk, they
painted their faces with some kind Of
paint which was still visible yester-
day. and they also exhibited several
blisters on their faces. Such prac.
tices as have taken place the past
week will injure the school, and a few
cases OF expulsion from school would
put a stop TO the practice.
