RESOLUTION BY THE DURANGO
EXCHANGE CONCERNING THE
SILyERTON MINING EXPERI-
MENT STATION.

Resolved, by the Durango Ex-
change, in regular meeting convened:
That we do earnestly appeal to the
honorable secretary of the interior,
and to the hol llorable director of the
national bureau of mines, that the
first mining experiment station to be
established under the federal law au-
thorizing the establishment of such
stations, shall be placed at Silverton,
Colorado:
That we do request our United
States senators and representatives
in congress to use their best efforts
toward presenting and obtaining rec
ognition of the claims of Silverton to
such first station;
That, in support of this resolution,
we do respectfully represent:
That Silverton is most favorably
situated in the center of the largest,
most continuous, most compact, min
eralized area of mining country in the
west; that directly tributary to Sill
verton, the numerous big mineral dis
tricts produce and furnish all the
metals and combinations of ores
found in other parts of Colorado, as
well as ores difficult of treatment and
not found elsewhere:
That new deposits, such as uranium
borax, tungsten, platinum and Others
not yet identified, are being found il
the district, to the great extension Of
the heretofore known mineral terri.
tory;
That the actual, present and serious
problem of the mining industry is tn,
loss of forty per cent, or more, o.
the valuable metals contained in th'
ores, in treatment by existing meth
ods; and that this problem exists il
the actual field of mining and milling
operations, and must be solved there
in practical operations on a big ton
mage basis; and that experiments
work, to be practical and efficient
needs to be in direct contact with tn
operating industry.
Silverton was the pioneer in askinl
for and working for the establishment
of local federal mining experimen
station; and because her citizens kneN
the actual needs Of the mining indus
try, they have worked long and in
cessantly for the establishment of fed
eral experiment stations.
Our Colorado legislature in 1911
and again in 1913, by unanimous vote
endorsed and requested the establish
ment of the federal mining expert
ment station at Silverton, Colorado
(See Colorado session laws Of 1911
at page 712; and of 1918 at page GAS.
Therefore, in fairness to Silvertoi
in accordance with the legally eN
pressed desire of Colorado, and espG
cially for the most efficient possibl
aid to the metal industry, we urg
that the first experiment station sha
be granted to Silvorton.
