American Mining
Congress Nov. Is

The program for the nineteenth an
nual convention of the American Min
ing congress which opens at Hotel La
Sale, Chicago, November 18th, is now
practically complete, and the general
as we'll as the section meetings will
be of unusual interest and value to
mining men in all branches of the in
dustry.
All meetings of the congress are
open to the public and mining men
Especially are invited to attend and
to assist in the discussions.
1.-THE record Of mine safety work
will be the opening topic on Tuesday
November IA, led by Albert H. Fay,
of the United States bureau of mines.
This will be followed with addresses
on "State mine rescue methods" by
DR.. H. H. Stock, of the University Of
Illinois, and safety work as an in
lvestment," by DR.. c. w. Goodale, Of
Butte, Mont. The important discus

win sound a clarion call for federal aid
in reasearch work, and "The new
things in science" by DIR. F. G. Cot
trel, of the U. S. bureau of mines. The
topic for discussion will be Waste
In the mining industry-in mining, in
distribution, in use" This will be lead
by the leading experts in the industry.
Thursday evening has been set apart
for the banquet and thus far two of
the speakers have been selected. Carl

ming the surface dirt whether the
trace if there Is one, is worth follow
ing, whether it is likely to have come
from vein, pocket, or a tale or
clay seam, and the length of ore shoot
on the surface; in many instances he
baby be and the strike of the vein, the
character of the ore, about how far
4 is to whatever is throwing the
trace" In addition, his observation is
much keener than the engineers, the
slightest change of formation as in
Dictated on the surface or underground
does not escape his observation. This,
of course, is only natural as he Is con-
stantly watching. This ability should
also be realized and appreciated by
the engineer, as 1t is from these hints
that mines are discovered.
Regarding the sale of prospects,
do not agree with some of your cores
pondents that IAN engineer cannot be
too cautious" l do, however, think
an engineer should exercise sound
judgment, backed by experience, and
pi otect his employers in every way
that is fair and legitimate. sThere
should be just as much responsibility,
however, in turning down prospect
as there is in Recommending one, but
such is not the case; an engineer may
fail to fulfill his duty to his employer
and the mining industry by turning
down a prospect with little fear of
reprimand, as he is only held account
able for those he recommends.
Nine out Of ten prospects are turn
&c down in the engineers mind be-
fore he leaves the office Il also have
been guilty of such an indiscretion,)
so that the gossip Of the local knock
ers' club may fit well with the en-
gineer's prejudiced opinion. Anybody
can turn down prospect; it takes
nerve to recommend one.
While 1t is commended by some of
your correspondents that probably less
than per cent Of the prospects prove
to be mines, have not found such to
be the case; nor do believe such is
the case provided boom camps are
eliminated (as they should be in such
a summary and only intelligent and
legitimate prospecting taken into con-
sideration. No intelligent prospector
would waste the trouble, time, and de-
"elopment necessary to make a pros
pect worthy Of examination unless 1t
is, to say the least, encouraging.
Some prospectors, engineers and in
vestors should be digging potatoes or
raising garden rather than trying to
enter the mining business, or, in other
' ords, they are not what they claim
to be. A man engaged in the opera
ton Of prospects or mines may be a

WEST WILL DEMAND
A,sQUARE DEAL
REVISION OF FEDERAL MINING
LAWS WILL OCCUPY MUCH
ATTENTION.

| Buckley Wells of Denver will head
a delegation of Colorado and western
mining men to urge the appointment
Of a nonpartisan commission to inyes-
| tigate and revise the federal mining
laws of the country. The proposition
will first be put up to the delegates
ia attendance at the American mining
congress to be held in Chicago No
vember 10, and, if the Colorado plan
| is approved, demand will be made
upon President Wilson for the imme-
date appointment of the commission.
The remedy for the adjustment of
the complex situation that is retard-
| ing mining throughout the country
was proposed at a meeting of the min
! ing bureau of the Denver civic associa-
ton yesterday.
| r. A. Parker, chairman of the min
II ing bureau, stated yesterday that the
present federal laws had resulted in
controversy, litigation and expense, to-
gether with the retardation of mining
development during long periods of
litigation. He said that the situation
had become so complicated that a
thorough and intelligent investigation
is an essential preliminary to the mod
ification of the mining laws.
Mr.. Parker declared that the pub
| lie domain in the eleven states stu
ated west of Kansas comprises AL
100000 acres-13,000, 900 acres in Colo
rado-and that the policy of the fed
eral government concerning the dis
posal and utilization of this enormous
area was of vital concern to Colorado
and the other ten states.
1t will be urged at the Chicago con-
vention that the commission consist OF
three men, one to be a mining attor-
ney, another a mining engineer, and
the third big mine owner, all to be
thoroughly familiar with the defects In
the operation of the present mining
laws. The mission of the commission
will be to frame remedial legislation to
be presented to congress.
1t is understood that the Colorado
mining men will back Mr.. Wells as the
third member of the proposed commits
sion.
Resolutions will be presented to the
members council of the civic associa-
ton Thursday night.
These say the basic principle of the
Sc called Ferris bill is the permanent
retention of title to certain of the nat
ural resources in the public domain,
which is denounced as contrary to the
laudable ambition of citizens to become
property owners. States are deprived
| of a vast taxing resource, 1t is said,
and the impossibillty of successfully
Establishing and maintaining a pros
lperous and contented population where
great tracts of land are held by few
owners, is pointed out.
The government acquired the bulk
Of its great holdings at a cost Of less
than so cents an acre, and its reten-
ton denies to the people Of the west
ern states the benefits of successful
pioneering and colonization, is the
claim.
The resolution concludes: "That we
are firmly of the opinion that in de-
nying the western states the right to

Press during the past several months,

discussion can only result in bene-
! fetal influence if continued IN frank
and courteous manner, / offer some
IDEAS and conclusions resulting from
my experience. Before proceeding
! further, / wish to state that l have no
chronic prejudice" toward either the
Iprospector, the engineer, or the invest
OF, for a narrow minded attitude of one
toward the other is to be deplored.
There are intelligent prospectors- as
well as intelligent engineers and in
vestors.
The present day attitude of the pros
weston is largely due to the fact that
the engineer examining prospects does
not, or will not advise his employer
! to assume any of the risk OF exploit
ing the prospect, but does not hesi-
tote to intimate to the owner Of the
prospect that he is expected to do so.
Again, the engineer may spend day,
week, or longer, examining a pros
pect and then try to tell the owner
things that he already knows are not
true, from his own experience in car
rying on the development Of his own
prospect extending over a period of
one to ten years.
The average engineer falls short Of
the standard the prospector is justi-
fled in expecting of him, especially II
he is graduate of a mining college.
His inability to say what will occur in
future development, and in many in
stances to see or grasp the indica-
tons present in prospect work or on
surface USUALLY if he has spent much
time in the locality causes the pros
pector TO wonder how the engineer
has profited from his technical learn
! ing. 1t does not take much of an en-
gineer to tell what has happened or
whether the mine Is worth the price
asked after 1t has been developed with
Shafts, tunnels, drifts, crosscuts, raises,
etc, of sufficient depth and extent to
Prove the mine. Engineers should
realize and appreciate these matters.
How many engineers examining
prospects today for investors could or
would have expended the same work,
time, or money; or who have the actual
ability even to have found many of
the ore bodies they are judging? A
trace means nothing to many en-
gineers, yet practically every ore body
throws a trace by which 1t may be
found, and in many cases 1t is all the
plospector has to guide him in his dis
covery Of what may not be valuable
mine.
The prospector can Judge from pan.

Diamonds are valuable not only for
personal adornment but find many
varied uses in the arts and manufac-
lures. Some of the more common
uses are in glasscutting, drilling and
saving blocks of hard stone, truing

and drawing wire for electric lamps.

THE PAWHATAN CO.
TO WORK ALL WINTER
AN OLD LOCATION WHICH IS BE-
LlEvED TO BE EXTENSION
OF BUNKER HILL.

The Pawhatan Mining company has
recently started work on its property,
employing two men, and the purpose is
if possible to continue work all winter.
The company owns four claims on up
per Big creek, about five miles from
the railroad which cover well de-
fined vein for distance of 5000 feet.
This group Of claims is an old loca-
ton, and it is evident that the original
locators believed they We're on the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan vein and this
belief is still maintained by the pres
ent owners. The property is about
three miles east of the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan, and whether or not 1t is the
same vein, it is evident that the Paw
hatan has a most promising surface
showing and the development has
shown up considerable ore. 1t was
located in 1885 soon after the dis
covery of the Bunker Hill. Not much
has been done in recent years toward
developing the Pawhatan, but the great
activity along Big creek and the en-.
oouraging results that have followed
has induced the company to resume
operations.

engineer of this city, made prelim
