 Preamble to Bylaws
 The Arizona Chapter of the Ameri- can Mining Congress is the outcome of the seventeenth annual conven- ton of the American Mining Con gress which was held at Phoenix the week of December [. 1914. At ! this meeting it was brought forcibly to the attention of the delegates present that while Arizona was one of the most fortunate states, in so | far her mineral resources were concerned, she was tagging far be- | hind in actual development and this not only applied to her mineral re- sources but also to all other natural resources with which she is so pe- culiarly blessed.
 It was realized that to most eff fectively remedy these conditions it was necessary to have strong or ganization whose principal efforts should be devoted to disseminating accurate information regarding the |
 dting such conditions as would in i Vite the development of same. The | result is shown in the organization of this chapter. Great care has been 1 taken to see that this organization l does not take the shape of a politi- | cal machine, to be charged with scheming to obtain some advantage l for the mining industry without pro 1 per regard being paid to all other in l dustries including every form and ! kind of enterprise that goes to make | up healthy prosperous conditions in :, our state, The chapter will have but 1 one object in VieW-the upbuiding and development of the vast and un- | limited resources of our state-and ! the principal duties of the secretary to get before the board of directors statistical information as the same 1 relates to each and every district in the state showing as accurately as possible. mineral. agricultural and
 commercial interests in the respect i've districts with suggestions and rec l concentrations looking to their bet | terment, all of which will be sup ported by a painstaking conscientious board of directors insuring results
 such as to reflect great credit upon all concerned and rebound to the
 benefit of each and every citizen il
 cur state. Following these broad lines the chapter will soon have ir it's possession such statistics and
 other data as will make it possible
 for the board of directors of thu Arizona Chapter of the American Mining Congress to formulate lines
 of procedure cooperating with ant
 assisting at all times the various
 clements in the various communities having a desire to work for the com.
 mon good of all.
 The Arizona Chapter of the Ameri-

 fluences in every way legitimate, that will get the much desired results ant
 bring to Arizona a degree of pros perity unparalleled. It is to b, hoped that sincere cooperation iron
 those who have q loyal interest ir l the welfare of our state can be re-
 lied upon. There is no one in tho
 state more deeply concerned and who
 should more willingly give part ot his time and cooperation to this
 beneficial undertaking than the wage
 carner. Healthy substantial and per
 manent pay-rOlls are what we must
 have if we want to prosper and wt
 cannot have them at the present
 time without the assistance of out
