 MEETING
Big Men in Mining Industry Will Visit Arizona at the Tinne of the American h. stitute's Meeting in State.

Prominent mining and metallurgi- cal circles have for almost half a cen. tury participated in the work of the American Institute of Mining Engi- neers, which on the 18th of September will open a weeks session in the var ious mining fields of Arizona. A study of the work of some of the pres ent officers of the Institute. most of , whom will attend the Arizona meet ing. reveal somewhat the strength of the membership of the Institute.
 L. D. Ricketts, consulting engineer, has served as president of the Insti- ute since last February. He sue ceeds William l.. Saunders. chairman of the Board of Ingersoll & Rand Co. and vice-chairman of the Naval Con sulting Board. MT Saunders has in vented apparatus for drilling rock under water. pumping by compressed air, Ingersoll track and bar channel CTS and gadders for quarrying stone. Benjamin B. Thayer. president of the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, is a former president of the Institute. MT. Thayer is thoroughly familiar with mining operations in many parts of the world, and in addition to dis playing great technical skill has in fused into his company a loyalty and efficiency that are exceptional He will accompany the New York special train in his private car.
 Sidney J. Jennings. first vice-presi- dent of the Institute, is vice-president of the r. s. Smelling. Refining and Mining Company. and has charge of their exploration department. He has had long experience in South Africa in mining and was president of the South African Association of Engi- neers. George C. Stone. the Institute treasurer. is chief engineer of the New Jersey Zinc Company
 Bradley Stoughton. secretary of the In stitute for the past three years. is a consulting metallurgist in New York City and is the inventor of a converter for making steel castings and a pro cess for oil melting in cupolas. He is the author of the widely known text book "The Metallurgy of Iron and Steel" Among the vice-presidents of the Institute are H. C. Hoover. now known throughout the world as chair man of the Commission for Relief in Belgium. and Karl Eilers. metallurgist and specialist m smelting lead and copper.

MANY MINE FAILURES NO FAIR CRITERION
 TO CONDEMN BUSINESS
Mining and Engineering Jour- nal Discusses Activity of the Exploration Companies Throughout the Country.

The fact that the Canadian Mining and Exploration Company. organized by powerful and prominent interests to acquire and develop mining proper ties, liquidated after having investi- gated 1900 propositions without find ing one sufficiently attractive to in. duce it to undertake it's exploitation is still being used in various ways as a sad commentary on the chances which a non-expert investor in min ing stock has of picking a winner, and moreover to show that the min ing industry is on the wane. that good mines are no longer to be found This notion, however. fails to take into consideration fundamental differ ences in the policies of the several exploration and development compa- ies, says the Mining and Engineering Journal
 One of our largest and most sue. cessful mining organizations main tains an exploration department, and according to it's annual report for 1915. had presented to it for consid- eration 7S6 properties. Of these 655 were rejected after an office eXami- nation of the reports and data sub mitted A preliminary field exami- nation of 11S was made. and 13 properties were accorded a complete examination. For the year previous 6S9 properties were offered. Of these 53S were rejected after an of fee examination of the reports and data submitted. A preliminary field examination of S2 was made. and in the case of. 19 properties a complete sampling and examination was under taken Now the policy of this com pany is to acquire only mines that have a sufficient tonnage of ore de yeloped to show them a profit under their scheme of operation. Many mines today operating at a loss could be worked at a profit by an or ganization as large as the one we are considering. and it is on this margin of operating returns and on it's capa- bilities of more extensive and more intensive operations that this com pany relies. So that prospects,. no matter how promising. are not con sidered
 Another of our largest mining con cerns operates on an entirely differ ent basis. considering only prospects and declining to undertake the pur chase or acquisition of a developed mine. We are not informed as to the number of propositions this com pany considers in the course of a year but from it's policy it might re ject perfectly good developed mines. which fact would be no reflection on the propositions. because the very same mines might be most desirable

GREEN MONSTER IS
 PREPARING FOR THE
 MACHINERY ON HAND
Future Is Bright for Largest of Companies in Verde Dis trict-Machinery Will Be Installed Very Fast.

JEROME, Sept. Big things are under way at the Green Monster. The compressor. hoist and other machinery ordered in the east have been shipped. Bills of lading have been received at the company's of should be delivered at the Clarkdale depot within two weeks There will be no delay in it's installation for the new road, which affords access to all parts of the Green Monster property, is completed.
 The laying of the 6OO0-foot two-inch pipe line. which is to convey water from Cliff creek and other sources of supply to the Revenue and other claims, is under way.
 Managing Director w. s. Humbert is hiring every carpenter who heaves in view. for about a dozen camp build. ings are to be started at once and rushed to completion.
 These buildings are to be on the Revenue claim, near the southeast corner of the property. for it is there that a 1000-foot shaft is to be started immediately upon arrival of the ma chinery.
 There are to be two bunk houses. each with accommodations for twenty men, One will be for the Mexican miners and the other for the Ameri- cans. At some distance from the bunkhouses will be a clubhouse. The principal feature of the clubhouse will be a large room in which will be placed tables for cards and reading It is planned 10 install a small library and to keep the latest magazines and newspapers on file at all times.
 A boarding house, storehouse. resi- dence for the superintendent. carmen ter shop. change room, machine shop and office building are to be rushed through to completion. Quarters will be provided for the managing director, perhaps in an addition to the office building. The hoist and compressor are to be placed in one building near the shaft mouth.
 The site chosen for the new shaft is on the diorite side of the main con tact and only 300 or 400 feet from the Revenue tunnel. It is expected that it will be sunk at the rate of l25 feet month. No time will be lost

He Lifted Me to My Feet.

Is abrupt and the waves still high.
Indeed l saw no spot in all that dis
lance where a boat might make safe
landing. Are you becoming dry?
81 am at least warm, and already
feel much stronger. Would it not be
best, monsieur, for us to scale the cliff
and wait our rescuers there, where we
can keep lookout?'
"If you feel able to climb the rocks,
although the passage is not difficult.
A boat might pass us by here and
never be seer or know Of our pres
ence, unless we keep up a fire."
l held out my hand to him and he
helped me to my feet. The warmth
of the sand while it had not entirely
dried my clothing had given me fresh
vigor, and l stood erect, requiring no
assistance. With this knowledge a
new assurance seemed to take posses
sion of me, and l looked about and
smiled.
Il am glad to know you "a laugh"
he said eagerly. 81 have felt that our
being thus shipwrecked together was
not altogether to your liking"
"And why?" l asked, pretending
surprise. Being shipwrecked, Of
course, could scarcely appeal to me,
but l am surely not %ungrateful to
you for saving my life"
Gas to that, l did no more than any
man might be expected to do" he pro-
tested. "But you have avoided me
for weeks past, and it can scarcely
be pleasant now to be alone with me
here"
Avoided you! Rather should I af-
firm it was your own choice, monsieur.
If I recall Alright l gave you my con-
| fdence once, long ago on the Ottawa,
and you refused my request of assist
ance. Since then you have scarcely
been Of our party"
"Ah," he burst forth, " I have been

thought. I could not forget what you
said to me at that last meeting, or the

"As best l could, without arousing
the wrath of Monsieur Cassion. You
are not angry2 it was but the duty
of a friend"
"No, 1 Am not angry, monsieur, yet
It was not needed. l do not fear
Cassion, so long as I can protect my
self, for If he attempts evil it will
find some form Of treachery. But,
monsieur, later l gave him the pledge
he asked"
"The pledge! What pledge?'
"That l would neither meet, o
communicate with you until u ar
rival at Fort st. Louis"
My eyes fell before his earnest
gaze, and l felt my limbs tremble.
mon dieu! Whyf There was some
special cause"
Eyes, monsieur-listen. Do not be-
lieve this is my thought, yet l must
tell you the truth. Hugo Chevet was
found dead, murdered, at st. Ignace.
Twas the morning Of our departure,
and your boat had already gone. Cas-
sion accused you of the crime, as some
of the men saw you coming from the
direction where the body was found
late at night, and others reported that
you two had quarreled the evening
before. Cassion would have tried you
offhand, using his authority as COM
mander Of the expedition, but prom
! ised not to file charges until we
| reached st. Louis, i'll made pledge
twas then that I gave him my word"
D'Artigny Strengthened up, the ex-
preston on his face one of profound
establishment.
"He-he accused me-" he asked, "of
murder to win your promise?"
mo, monsieur; he believed the charge
true, and I pledged myself to assure
you a fair trial"
'Then you believed also that l was
guilty Of the foul crime?"
l caught my breath, yet there was
nothing for me to do but give him a
frank answer.
IL have given no testimony, mon
sieur," l faltered, "but IL saw you

strength or courage to attempt the
ascent. He must have read this in
my face, and seen my form SILVER as
the wind struck my wet garments, for
he made instant decision.

the rocks, making use of the rift in
the face Of the cliff, and finding no
great difficulty. At the top he looked
back, waved his hand, and then dis

at the sky, where the clouds were
thinning, giving glimpses Of faintest
blue, and began to collect my own
thoughts, and realize my situation.
D'Artigny appeared at the edge OF
the cliff, and called to reassure me of
his presence. He had his arms filed
with broken bits Of wood which were
tossed to the sand, and a moment
later he descended the rift in the wall
and paused beside me.
"No sign Of anyone up there" he
said, and, 1 felt, not regretfully. "The
