ing made for the sixth annual
meeting of the "Idaho Mining
association, which will be held
in Boise on February II and 12. This
organization has been in existence
over six years and has proved of
great benefit in educating the people
upon the Importance of the mining
industry Of the state and in shaping
legislation, both state and national
with the view to protecting the in
dustry and encouraging the develop
ment of mineral resources. It's men,
bership embraces every county in the
state and is not limited to those di-
rectly engaged in mining The bene-
fits of mining are so far reaching in
their effect that an association de-
signed to foster the industry deserves
the active cooperation and support of
the people without regard to the line
of business in which they are engag-
ed. The merchant, the farmer the
stock grower, the lumberman, the
truck farmer and the fruit grower al
though living far removed from the
mining districts, are nevertheless
deeply interested in the development
Of the mineral wealth of the state, for
the mines are the best market for
their products and the depdhd con-
tinues ait all seasons of the year.
The association will assemble in the
Boise Commercial club at 10 o'clock
on the 11th. An address of welcome
will be delivered by Governor Davis
and the freedom of the city will be
extended the visitors by Mayor Hays
Response to these addresses will be
made by Stanly A. Easton, president
of the association.

be on subjects that pertain to the

has the benefit of liberal laws and the
friendly support of the people of the
state.
