zOna Will Be Staged Before
 Grand Stand at State Fair
 The mines conference or safety first and rescue men held recently in Globe bas concludsd. and the results of the meeting os the men from rearly all the larger coL,penies in Che state has been made public. The meeting was a most successful one from the stand point of organization and results and the keynote of the success of the state organization which the meeting effected
 The prime cause for calling the meeting of the safety first men of the mines of the state was to arrange derinite plans for the competitive meet of teams from the mines of the state at the state fair in helmet and rescue work. That these plans could have been arranged by mail was ad- mitted but that the results would be more satisfactory from a general meet ing was also conceded and the gather ing was made at Globe in response to the invitation of the old Dominion.
 Plans, including rules and regula. tions governing the events, were com pleted by the members of the state mines gathered for the state fair meet The exhibitions and contests will be staged in front of the grand stand with permission of the fair com mission Prizes will be placed for the events by the mining companies. The rules and regulations will be al- most the same as were used in the demonstrations held before the post office in this city on July A.
 That the exhibitions are given for two distinct reasons was also made clear by the men assembled. The first of these reasons is to interest the mine forces in their work. The second is to interest the public in one of the greatest movements for the bet terment of mine conditions and pro tection of the miner Publicity boards have been arranged by the club mem bership to keep the contests before the public, and to arouse as much interest in the coming events as is usually expressed in the horse races and other sporting and educational features of large state fair.
 The formation of a state organiza- ton in which all the mines of the state shall have an interest and shall take ar active part was also taken up. The complete roster of mines rep resented at the meeting. several mines which were represented by proxy and others who had written their willing. ness to become a part of the organi- zation were enrolled. The remainder of the mines of the state will be re- quired to join the state utilization and an attempt to get each company where more than a few men are em- ployed interested will be made
 As soon as there are sufficient of the state organizations enrolled in the state afhriation, afnnlation with the national Mines Safety society will be accomplished. It is probable that this matter will be taken up definitely at the meeting of the state mines repre- sentatiyes at the state fair
 The object of the state organiza. ton will be to lend aid to each other in all times. An apt illustration Of the lend and borrow system has pust been completed in Bisbee. when th, helmet and fire crews of the Com, Queen aided in the fight to save
 drifts of the cananea mines in
 connagration.
