 these resources. are to be devel-
 oped to the best possible ad-
 vantage.
 This fact was brought out at
 the discussions of the American
 Mining Congress held at Phoe-
 nix the week of December :,
 1913, and resulted in the forma-
 tion of the Arizona Chapter. ;
 Men, known as mining and not as promoters, were chosen to
 direct the organization, and they
 have already done much toward helping to draw attention to
 what Arizona offers.
 The Arizona Chapter has but
 one object in view-the upbuild- ing and development of the vast and unlimited resources of the state.
 In this connection, 1t will be one of the principal duties of the Secretary to get before the Board Of Directors statistical in formation as the same relates to each and every district in the state, showing as accurately as possiblei mineral, agricultural and commercial interests in the respective districts, with sug- gestions and recommendations looking to their betterment. All of these will be supported by a painstaking, con i e n ii ouS, Board of Directors, insuring re- suits such as to reflect great credit upon all concerned and rebound to the benefit of each and every citizen in our state.
 Following these broad lines, the Arizona Chapter will soon have in it's possession such sta tistics and other data as will make. it possible for the Board of Directors to formulate lines of procedure co operating with and assisting at all times the various elements in various com munities having a desire to work for the common good of all.
 The Arizona Chapter of Amer. ican Mining Congress will un- bring to bear effective influences in every legitimate way that will bring to Arizona a degl ee of prosperity unparalled. Since co cooperation from all those who have a loyal interest in the welfare of Arizona can be relied upon.
 There is no one in the state more deeply concerned and who should more willingly give part l of his time and cooperation to this beneficial undertaking than l the wage earner. Healthy, sub | stantial and permanent payrolls are what we must have if we want to prosper and we cannot | have them at the present time ] without the assistance of out side capital.
 We cannot hope to obtain this if it is not treated fairly.
 The citizens of Arizona, those ip terested in the welfare of the | state, can, through the Arizona Chapter of the American Min I ing Congress, create an organi- zation through which most, if not all, the disastrous, hurtful influences from which the state has suffered in the past, can be removed. t<
 The most promising feature of the organization is the personal of it's officers and directors. The list includes the following we'll known men:
 Officers: w. B: TwitcheI, F. M Murphy, First Vice Governors; c. A. Grimes, Vice Governor; w. B. Gothring, Third Vice Governor; H. J. McClung, Treasurer; J. H. Secretary.
 Directors: J. P. Hogdson, Bisbee; A. J. PickerelI, Prescott; ). D. M. Gaddis, Kingman; Harry Clark, SHolbrook; B. Brit 5on Gottsberger, Miami; Al. Der 1ard, Tucson; J. c. oodwin, Tempe; D. A. Burke, Bouse; Norman Carmichael, Clifton; T. A. Riordan, Flagstaff; L. s. Gates, Ganado; Con O'keefe, Nogales; Andrew Kimhball, 
 With John, H. Robinson as secretary, effective results are insured. .-Yavapai. ]
