MINING MEN ORGANIZE BUREAU

Mining men of the city will assem-
BILE at the rooms OF the Civic and
Commercial Assc ciation tomorrow
night for the purpose of forming
bureau, which it is predicted will
eventually become one of the most
important branches OF THE association.
Plans have been forming for some
time whereby the mining interests
represented in the association shall
be SO shaped and organized, as to be
able to give early and intelligent
consideration to the many problems
now affecting THAT industry. Friday
nights meeting, aside from organdza-
tion doings, will be an interesting
session owing to the fact that ini-
tAtory steps will be taken towards
forming the policy of the association
as to many vital subjects of a min-
ing nature now before congress. Chief
among these is the Ferris blhl which
provides for the leasing Of coal, oil,
phospfates and chter minerals con-
tanned in tine public domain.
On the invitation of Secretary j. F.
Gallbreath, the Civic and Commercial
Association is preparing to send a
repress ntation to the American Min
ing Congress which is to be held
next month at Chicago. The Ferris
bill wild be up for discussion during
the sessions there and ii is predict
ed that some definite views of the
mining world may be reached which
1T is intended shall have an effect
on congress in the final considera-
tion of tire measure next winter. Al
so, at the congress-, the question of
revising the federal laws relating to
mining will be brought UP for discus
sion. Mining men interested in the
organization OF TIE new mining bur-
eau express the hope that concerted
action may be rad in Denver con-
cerning the proposed new code be-
fore it is too late to deliver an ex-
preston Of the mining men thereon.
Friday nights meeting therefore is
Of deep Importance. Every member
OF the association wihol is in any wise
interested in mining or its co-ordtn-
ate industries should be present. -

AMONG THE MINES

this ore has been opened up and
the streak in places is eight inch-
es Wide. While no tests OF the iron
have been made as yet, 1t is esti-

the pitch of the vein is conclusive

in this part CT tie Pit'sburg had a
mining engineer guessing ON his
