ECHOES OF THE MINING GONGRESS Tho Holoctiou of Oouvor ai the ier mauouc huad(umtcrH of tho American Minnie coiiKrcHH Iiiih hoon the Hiibject of no little comment, both locally and abroad, and it ia pointed to iih (he (urniuK point into a now era for the organization. From (ho drift of all (IiIh editorial morali'iiiK, that of Colorado mitiiiiK publicatiotiH partic ularly, we aro able lo pick out Home idoiiH which call for a low Hido-linhtn. Tho Minln Koportor, for example, lamoutH tho fact (hat the inomberHhip of the cniiKrcHH is not an rcprcHcntn live iih it mlht ho, mid iu i-chpoiiho to thiH declaration wo nhould like to oiler the hiiuHthn (hat thin con dition, if it bo entirely coriect, in the boHt argument in favor of tho importance of the organization. Jl all mining men have not yot awak ened to tho need of donor iiHHoclation iu ordoi (o accompliHh Home of the many thlnn which (ho coiiKreHH utandH for, it. in well that a national body osIhIh for tho purpoKo of bring iiiK thorn toKothor. There are a groat many mining men, porluipH, who do not wIhIi (o ally thoniHolvcH with any mining uiou'h orgmiiation, junt iih the world Ih full of men who never outer any of t'io uumeroiiH fraternal ordern. Othei-H (here may ho who nlay out bocaiiflo they think tho couuroHH duo? not poHHOHH the doHired momentum, forgetting porhahpH thai (ho force of a movement like thiH in cumulative and that their ntnying out amountH (o their withholding juut ho much needed influence. The man who haiigH aloof Ih corataiuly iu poor huHiucHH finding fault with a move ment in (ho iutorcHtH ot bin biiHiuosH. Let him got aboard himself and his notloiiH of policy will bo welcomed. It Ih, of courno. dcwirahle (hat (he memberHliip of tho cougrcHH hIiiiII grow, and tho establiHhmout of per manent hoaduartorri will doubt less do inucli towaid building up a nub Htanlial memberHliip. Tho greater (ho representation, tho gioater the weight of the body. It in not irrelevant to recall tho jingle of tho maiden who longed to "go out and Hwim," and wiih in Htructed hy her toud mama to "hang her clothoH on tho hickoiy limb and don't go near (ho water." Achieve ment calls for advoutuie, ami (lie mining industry cannot hope to cccompliHh the worthy ends fur which (ho emigres is enlisted if any great number of its. representatives simply hang up their raiment and let their backs blistei on (ho bunks of the creek. Now, on the othei baud, we llnd OreH and Metals advocating that tho memberHliip be limited. That in to nay, it HUggentH that (he organization be made up of men "(he men who make the mines, " promoters ami brokers iu Mb eye having no iuteiest in tho industry. Naturally it Ih ex pouted that only "the men who make the mined" will have any do Hire to join a mining man's organiza tion, aud iu itn broad House no one could have auy objection if such a limitation were imposed. Hut it in apparent that the editor quoted doe not consider promoters and brokers iih having anything to do with the making of mines. Wherefore we suggoHt that sym posium nf all owners of mining prop erty, all manufacturers of mining machinery and all mining engineers who are drawing fees lor the examina tion of mines aud prospects, be held for (he purpose of determining whether thoy think (hey can get alony without tho men who .make it a business of raising capital for the purchase of property, the erection of mills and (ho preliminary samplings and testings (hat all new enterprises require. If it bo found (hat the promoter Ih not a "man who makes mines, "then it will be well for the Mining congress (o shut out all men who organize stock companies and sell sharcH to (he public. Hut, does anyone serloiiHly think ho? Daily Mining Record. Preparing for Work at Red Boy. .lolin Thomson, of the May Queen ami tho Hod Hoy, arrvied today aud wont to the latter proporty, ac companied by a hydraulic eugiueer whose name The Miner could nut learn, and .loliu Higgs, who for merly had charge of the work on the wider power at Olive lake. Mr. Thomson stated (hat he is mow de ciding what work in to be done aud that operations will be inaugurated at an early day. Already some men are employed, getting ready for tho big force (hat will soon bo engaged. Peculiar Ledge Formation. W. Y. (iibliH, of the Copperopolis Ooppor company, was the only ex hibitor of ore specimens at (ho recent session of tho American Mining cnugicHS, and the splendid chunks ot high grade ore attracted much favor able interest iu tho locality that produced (hem. Tho Copperopoils Iiiih a peculiar ledge formation, in that from the outer walls is a width of seventy two feet, but iu its center occ uis a wall nf pmphyiy having about even width of twelve feet, dividing tlio ledge in two, each nf thirty foot iu width. The main working tunnel is driven on ore all of tho way for more than i!(10 feet, aud at no point is tho copper value below live per cent, and runs very much higher, with a vast quantiiy averaging about fifteen per cent. Telegram. The Scandia Tunnel. V. Wade returned las( night from tho Scandia Tunnel. Jlo in supeiin teudent of it. lie says (he main crosscut is now iu over :i,000 feet, und ho thinks loO feet further will take it to (he ledge. Mr. Wade contemplates extensive drifting ou the maiu vein when reached aud other oncouutored by (he cross cut. L. H.
