THE MINES OF ARIZONA

workman is only too glad to say where he has been employed. And as a rule points with pride to his ref quicker he gets a job. How are we to combat these abominable con- coctions and prevent them being Haunted in our. face besides being injurious and detrimental to all in- terests of whatever nature. Our strongest weapon is by organization and combination We must stimu late research and development and prevent by all means any other agency that tends to a contrary eff feet.
 Such laws paralyze effort We want those that are aSsistive and it seems the strongest protection we can have is for all interested in min ing to join the Arizona chapter of the American Mining Congress. The ma tional organization has done wonder fully satisfactory work in the states and at Washington. for the interests and advancement of legitimate min ing. The Arizona organization would have the backing of the national or ganizatiOn and it would give us great strength and support in com- batting such unheard of laws as those spoken of The organization generally is the very best medium possible for the honest and legiti- mate advertising of our mining re- sources and possibilities and helpful in all branches of mining. We must give capital square deal but these laws are far from doing this but are framed to operate directly contrary, they don't even give the workman square deal. The mining congress or ganization would give great strength to the best that is needed in mining and also the best presentation Of it's possibilities in the United States. The congress is noted for its clear and honest presentation of every law and suggestion ever presented to congress. In no single instance have they misrepresented and the organization exists today as a stand ard for stating the facts just as they are As Thomas Walsh Ca very active worker in the consress) says: Our business has been increasing four times and the basic necessi- ties for meeting this has been de- creasing. Let us get to stirring up q prosperity panic like we had in 1907. Now is the chance for Arizona to get busy and organize. We have the mineral area and we have the properties to assist in supplying the monetary gold and silver, especially will come the opportunities of treat ing lower grade ores. By it's pains taking researches the federal gov ernment is now helping considerably in solving some of the knotty prob- lens in connection with the subject The organization of the movement here is the greatest and most import ant ever made in the state. It be- hooves every man interested in min- ing to jump in and give helping hand and even every business man and farmer. for as previously stated there would have been no other busi- ness or farming if the mining pio- neer had not come in and found the minerals, which led to all this de- velopment, by all means let us strongly unite, join the congress. it
 is the very best medium yet estab- lished to combat freak, and unjust laws. or any other injurious influ- ence to mining. Let us be too. suc- cessful and strong to ever permit any of these freaklings to raise their heads above the ground. Let us go in for advancement and success and not politics.
 ! The local chapter of the congress last week elected John H. Robinson 1 of Prescott as it's permanent secre- l tary. No better choice could possi- ply have been made Johnny as
