MINING CONGRESS BEGINS ITS
 SESSION..

San Francisco, Sept. 20.-The prob lem of how to conserve the mineral resources of the United States in view of the fact that $2,0O0,000,000 worth of minerals of all kinds are being mined yearly with enormous waste, is the chief topic for consideration of distinguished mining engineers nd experts from all sections of the coun- try who are here today to attend the Americn' Mining Congress.
 The present efforts of the mining congress are being directed toward inducing congress to make proper ap- propriation for investigation with a view of conserving the nations min eral resources. The mission of the congress is to reduce accidents in mining operations, to provide for the widows and orphans of those killed by unavoidable accidents, to conserve the present annual waste of 100000 900 tons of coal, to stimulate the pro- duction of gold and to maintain a high scale of wages with better working conditions.
