The American Mining Congress

The work of the Congress in Phoe- nix brought forth great many points of vital interest to mining and especially in Arizona. One of the very important points Is the much needed revision of the present mining laws and also codif.cation of them It is an admitted and ln- disputaDle fact that real substantial investors are now very decidedly re- uctant to freely invest in mining or refuse altogether to Go so and main ly on account or the liability of lit igation under our present laws. And especially has hard blow been struck at Arizona by the passing of the eighty per cent and the blacklist iaws Such laws will destroy min ing effort in Arizona. It has already had it's ill effect by diverting capital to other states.
 The conclusions, resolutions and recommendations of the congress are SD full of beneficial and substantial interest to all interested in mining flat I print them in full. It should interest all mining men to peruse and digest them and help to a con- clusion and unity of purpose for pro- lection and helpfulness to mining. Report of the Committee on Revision of the Mineral Land Laws to the American Mining Congress, Decem- ber g. 1914.
 Since the last annual convention, the American Mining Congress has taken every opportunity to press for the creation by the Congress of the United States of q commission which shall revise and codify the mineral land laws of the United States.
 Your committee takes pleasure in reporting that encouraging progress reward the desired end has been made at Washington. A bill (No 4573). providing for the appointment oi the commission desired was intro Smoot and was approved by the Sec retary of the Interior as follows: ''Hon. T. J. Walsh,
 Chairman Committee on Mines ant
 Mining. United States Senate My dear Senator:
 T am in receipt of your letter Q February 9, 1914, transmitting fo report q copy of s. 4S73, a bill de signed to provide for a commission to codify and suggest amendment: to the general mining laws. The bil provides that the proposed code shal not deal with ss-containing de positS of coal, oil. gas, phosphate or soluble potassium salts. Nariou recommendations and amendments f the general mining laws have beel suggested by this department fror time 10 time. and there seems :. be more or less desire on the par of those connected with prospectin ar mining for certain amendments { the law The qualification of all law relating to the location. development and disposition of such mineral land would also. in my opinion be de ssirable. I believe that the investiga tions and findings by such a com mission as is provided for in this bi would be of material value to con gross, and have therefore to recon mend that the measure be enacted
 ''Very truly yours.

 The bill after receiving some al terations, was favorably reported the committee on mines and minin' and was passed by the senate O May :. Meanwhile, on April l, 19l MT Taylor. of Colorado. introduce q similar measure (Bill 152SS) in th house of representatives which ws likewise approved by the secretary the interior and favorably reporte

At present, there is no retary of the American Mining Con- gress is given the means with which to carry on his work in the proper way. This is absolutely necessary to supplement the efforts of your var -ious committees who can only act through correspondence and the oc- casional visits of their members.
 The mining industry cannot hope that any of the afflictions from which it is suffering will disappear by chance. The only help in sight is self help, the labor and money contributed by mining men to the work of the American Mining Con- gress.
