Communications have been received under date of March 3l from Mir. Bradley Staughton. secretary of the American Institute of Mining En- gineers, giving the information that the board of directors of the insti- ute. at its meeting on March 26. 1915, passed the following resolutions:
 Resolved. that in response to the courteous invitations from thirty six residents of Arizona and in the neigh borhood. most of whom are members of the institute. the 1916 summer meeting of the institute be held in Arizona"
 The assembling of the members of the institute in Arizona, many of them being authorities and leaders in their profession. should mean much to the state both as to their pres cnce and the varied subjects dis cussed relating to mining in it's many phases and technicalities. Many of them of course are thoroughly con- vcrsant with Arizona and it's mining areas and already know of ore inn portance in the production of the precious metals and especially copper. However. probably many will attend the meeting and it will be their first visit But all of them ought to be acquainted that we have interesting and valuable areas of production out side of those containing mineral and an cndeavour should be made to show them the beauties of our agricultural areas. each are assistance to one an
