. An event of more than ordinary i'm.
portance to the mining industry of tht
state will be the meeting of the Idaho
Mining association at Boise on Tues
day, January 20. This is the regular
annual meeting of the association al
which officers will be elected for the
ensuing year. In addition to the elec-
ton of officers, the meeting will be
open to discussion Of many matters Of
pressing Importance to the mining Sec
tions of the state and which will no
doubt lead to definite action by the as
sociation.
Every Chapter Should Be Represented
| Local chapters of the association in
the various counties of the state are
urged to have representatives at this
meeting, the more the better. The first
year of the associations existence has
been successful even beyond the expec-
tations of the organizers, both in the
matter of membership and in the ac-
tual work accomplished in behalf Of
the mining industry. Having demon
strated its usefulness, it is believed
that all members will recognize the
Importance of having big representa-
ton at the annual meeting and lend
their efforts toward increasing the
membership and thereby rendering its
work more effective. The enthusiasm
which characterized the work of the
first year should not be permitted TO
wane, for enthusiasm is an essential
element to the success of any cause.
Last Year an Inspiration.
No man can contemplate the great
increase in the mineral production Of
Idaho last year without being i'm
pressed with the possibilities Of ac-
complishing even greater things during
the present and succeeding years. To
realize these possibilities it is neces-
sary to make known to outside cap
ital the splendid opportunities Idaho
offers in the way of mining invest
ment. The Idaho Mining association
affords the best means of accomplish
ing this purpose, and for that reason
it should enlist the earnest coopera-
tion and support. Of all who are d.
rectly or indirectly interested in the
mining industry
Officers of tho Association.
The present officers of the Idaho
Mining association whose terms ex-
pire when their successors are elect
ed and qualified at the coming meet
ing are as follows: President, Harry l..
Day. Wallace: vice president, A. z.
Carlson, Boise; secretary, Ravenel
Macbeth, Mackay; executive board, A.
E. Carlson, Boise; l. E. Rockwell,
Bellevue; w Earl Greenough, Wal
lace; Frank Il. Johnesse, Boise.
Commission Meets Same Time.
The commission appointed to pre-
pare a workingmen's compensation bill
for presentation to the next legislature
will meet at Boise on January 81. This
will attract representatives of all the
large mining companies to Boise to
appear before the commission and en-
able them to attend the session Of the
mining association at the same time. |
The result will be that the state cap.
tal will have more mining men as
guests than were ever assembled there
before. 1t is probable that special
Pullman or two will be chartered to
AXE the crowd from Spokane, as tn"
lumber interests of Kootenai and Bon
Ter counties will doubtless be largely |
represented before the commission.
