WHEREAS. The code of laws governing
coal mining originated and was first enact
ed more than forty years ago, and since
which time amendments and changes in the
law have been made from time to time un-
til the present mining code is a virtual
patchwork of incongruities, and under the
present system of mining, by reason of the
ences and various demands of condition
and trade to which the system of mining
has changed, the numerous sections of the
mining law make the present practices a
daily violation of such statutes and where
as, an effort has been made by the oper-
ing code, which will necessarily consist of
several hundred pages and involve all of
the various manifestations of mining, and it
is found that 1T Is impossible in the short
length of time given for consideration at
this session to properly comprehend, di-
gest and agree upon a complete mining
code for the coal mining industry; there
