will have charge of a days program
at the convention, which will deal
with all problems affecting the min
ing industry in the Pacific northwest.
L.. X. Armstrong is chairman of the
convention program committee.
F. A. Ross, president of the Spo-
kane Mining Mems club, and chair
man of the executive committee of
the northwest mining convention,
says that this event will do much
to aid the mining industry general
ly. By bringing the mine owner,
the prospector and the engineer
into closer touch with the public in
this way, we are confident that the
Importance of the mining industry
will be better appreciated by all,
and that the industry will receive
new impetus both at home and
abroad. That mining is one of the
dominant industries of this part of
the country is realized when we
know that Inland Empire mines in
1914 paid dividends aggregating ST.
493,171, an increase of nearly ST.
0O0, 900 over the amount for 1913"
