MINERS CONGRESS AT HEM A MB I SUCCESSFULEVEN T 1 Tho fourth semi-annual mooting of ftho Southern Oregon and Northern California Mining Congress finished Ills session at Yroka Saturday. It was 'tho strongest mooting In over? way yet held by the congress. Though tho scopq ot the territory that has taken an interest In tho past has been principally Jackson, Joscphlno and Siskiyou counties. Shasta county pawling Into lino this session with a "forceful showing of Its powerful In terests, It being among the first cop per districts In tho world and" when it gets best foot forward will lead aha copper production of tho world ocrordlng to some of its best Informed (boosters. Its epper output for 1909 was over $9,000,000. Tho session of tho congress to bo held at Redding next May will bo staged on a great scale. Interesting papers were read by B. "K. Collier, It. II. Burns, Frank J. JNcwman, C J. Dosur, Prof. II. XI. Parks, Prof. II. Storms, M. E. Dit- .Bnar, S. W. French, V. 51. Richards, and Ex-Governor John Daggett, as well as other speeches from tho floor brought out by tho occasion. An Hour With the Prospector A new fcatnro was tho introduc tion of '"An Hour With tho Pros pector." This was petitioned for and Saturday morning w.is set aj the time. Speeches wore mado by Ij. W. .Cousins. Jack Horn,. Andrew Thresh, J. B. Layton. C. J. Fry, and C B. Dyer. Siskiyou prospectors, who presented a ualqtio and interest ing message in their own way. It had a different tune than tho voices of ' the technical speakers and tho others looking nt tho picture from tho view point of tho man who is preparing to engage largo capital. They favored tho forest reserve as the prospectors friend and held the railroad and tim ber land holders as their bitterest nod most unfair enemies. As a re sult of their organized entrance into tlio session the congress adopted tho resolutions which they had prepared stating their own grievances tho way " tii?y wished them taken hold of by tho various officials interested. There was a largo bunch of feeling mixed In tho presenting of their case and after this was worked out the resolutions wore adopted by acclama tion nnd tho prospector contingent thanked tho convention. - Found Mother Lodo , Tho ablest address was that of cx Governor Daggett, tho hero of tho famous Dlnck Bear mlno in Salmon xLlver which produced J3.000.000 not to (mention $1,000,000 in baso ore that could not bo saved. Daggett Is planning tho mlno for anothor big run. Ho gavo sorno Interesting and authoritative statistics of tho gold production of Siskiyou county mines and tho total amounted up to $150',--000,000. Ho had mined on tho Mother Lode In Amador county and declared that a Mother Lodo ran through Siskiyou and Jackson coun ties, and demonstrated that In a Mother I.odo district tho pay oro ljopt up with depth. His Information was freighted with such personal and extended oxporlonce Hint It carried weight in behalf of deep mining In tho sections of tho congress's terri tory. Thc session was ably handled by tho officers consisting of president, iit L. Ilerzlngor; treasurer, F. J. Nqwmnn, and secretary, C. L. Prob- utol and vlca-prcsidont I. J. Luco. Thq coininlttco on organization con sisted of F. .T. Newman, John A. Pnwoll. Fred K. Wadsworth, M. Beam and Albert Anderson. Tho commit too on resolutions wero C. J. Lut trqll. J. R. Harvey, 0. L.

Oro from tho Homestako Mlno of n darker color, sovonty pounds. It was hard to tell which ono would most admire, valuo from thirty to ono hundred thousand per ton. Tho Overton Mlno also had a splendid exhibit ot quarts in beauty and valuo equal to cither tho High land or Homestako. exactly similar In appearance to Highland best. Tho Indian Girl Quartz Mine. Kla math River, exhibited beautiful specimens. Brilliant ' spar peppered full of bright yellow gold caught tho eyo as the most spectacular ore shown. Tho Star Mine. Quartz Valley made a display of closely grained sugar quarts, very rich. Among tho placer was a seven teen day clean-up of tho Weed & Gardner mine, Quarts Valley, $3500 In gold brick. Scott Bar display of nuggets that would rival tho Klondike, pieces ranging from $2.00 to $200 in valuo occupied tho larger half of one show case, attracted a great deal of at tention and was a display of itself. Siskiyou county's big mines brought their show of mill rock, every part of tho county being repre sented, notably, tho Osgood Mlno near Yreka: Cherry Hill Mine, SchrocderJ Golden Eagle, Morrison & Carlock; MIko Whacker, near Yroka; Andrew Thrash, Humbug; Carlson & Thrash, Humbug; Jack Horn Mine, Humbug; Eliza Mine. Humbug; Meno Mine, Humbug; Commodore Mine; Cub Bear Mine, Salmon; Trail Creek Mine, Lead Ores, Freeh Creek and many others. MANVRSOLUON II ARE ADOPTED BY! MINERS CONGRESS Among resolutions reported by the resolutions committee at the Yreka Mining Congress and tinani- fmously adopted was ono recom mending a simplified proceduro gov erning tho procuring of patents to mineral lands. Another commended tho "splendid work of tho American Mining Con gress In tho legislative creation of tho Bureau of Mines and for Its as sistance and work In placing the min ing Industry on a better basis," pledging. "our Influence to ronder any assistance possible." Another commended tho work ot tho Geological survey and requested congress to comploto tho work of mapping unsurvoyed sections. Reduced rates on railroads for minerals is urged as follews: "Legis latures and Iho Stato Railroad Com mlKsIons and tho Intor-Slato Com merce Commission aro requested to mako a thorough investigation Into existing freight and transportation rates In this district and to socuro such reduction thoroot as will enable tho miner to better develop tho many rich properties now lying dormant for want of such equitable transportation rates." A mpro liberal Interpretation of tho nilncral laws relatlvo to tho uso of timber and water by tho Secretary ot tho Interior is tho subject of a memorial, to tho end that tho minor and prospector may bo encouraged, Tho mining bureau of California and Oregon are commended for their work and tho legislatures ot tho two Btates petitioned for euitablo appro priations to carry on the work. Tho congress pledged itself to fight wildcat mlng nchomcH nnd stop tho salo of worthies; mining securN ties, nnd expose frauds. , San Diego was thanked for Its in vitation to hold tho session of 1915 there nnd n sultahlo display of minerals at tho Panama Pacific fair recommended. Prospectors of Oregon nnd Califor nia wero Invited to become "members of tho Congress In appthor resolution. Tho semi-annual pieotlngs wero changed from January nnd July to May and October nnd Redding solectod for tho noxt Congress. Yreka nnd Siskiyou county was thanked for the entertainment of tho pongress and thy fine mineral display. Prospectors nt tho Minim; CVngroi nt rekn torvcil through Hie follow ing resolution? regarding federal aid in restoriiu; to the ituhlio domain minora): lauds within (he Koiilhorn Pacific nnd Oregon & California ami other railroad grants. "Kvcr since Hie prospectors of 'MO" biased the trails over tho Sierra nnd opened to the world tho wealth of our gold mines, the policy of the United States, in splendid lccnqnition of their splendid j-orvtcc has been to keep open to their class our mineral lands. This policy iucoriHtrating as it did miners' rules, adopted at miners' meetings into the laws of the land, nfter over half u century of trial, has proved both its wimIoiu and its fairness. The prospector is still the greatest individual benefactor to thq world's development. The "grub stake" is t ill the nuwt patriotic in vestment. F.vcry dollar dug from' the carh by tho miner s a now dollar ad ded lo (ho wealth of the nation nnd ;t is a clean dollar. Over three liutu dred millions of such doling have been found by tho prospector nnd mined and milled by the miners from the very mineral belt which this con gress represents. Within this same area hidden ni vein and ancient chan nel nrc still, immeasurable treasures. Kvcry mine easts its trace. Tho pros pector with pick and pan. pluck and patience seeks the trace and follows it to the mine. This trace must he left for the prospector to follow. The mine mint remain his to find nnd with the finding the right to work mimt he his. , , , Rnllroaib Hold Third Contravening this oliey nnd deny ing to the prospector thuso long tiu uuqestioned rights, the Southern Pacific and Oregon California Hall way company is now claiming practi cally one-third of the great mineral belt ex tenting through Jackson and Joscphnc counties, Oregon, and Siski you, Trinity nnd Sluihta counties, California. This claim is in defiance of the express terms of its grant and against the very langungc of its pat ents. . Believing this claim to be without right and that its blight upon the mining hidiibtry should be removed. not by driving the miner to engage at his own expense in litigation with that Mnverful corjioration but by govern ment action without expense to the miner, jtu-t a is being done towards tho oil lauds today. To ItcIcaM) Minerals Therefore, Re it rcolved that he miners of Southern Oregon and Northern California in this congress assembled: do hereby respectfully re qucnt the proper fedoral and state authorities to take immediate steps within this mineral belt to have the mineral lauds therein covered by claims or patents to the Southern Pacific railway eompanv or its affi liated corporations or 'its predeces sors in intercut oxempted nnd scgrnt ed from said claims and patents and restored to public domain and to the right of the miner lo prospect for nnd locnto claims thereon. Re, it further rasolvcd that tho 'copies of Ibis resolution properly certified be hcnt to tho attornoy gen eral of tho Hni(cd States, the director of the Uitrcau of .Mines, our congress men and United States senators and the stato mineralogists of Oregon nnd California. Ju addition, the following resolution was adopted seeking tlio co-oporntioii of tho Forestry Iliirenu in probing railroad grants. Conservation Resolution lie it further rciiolved, that it is of (his congress that the National Forest Policy and service has proved an efficient agency, not only in pro serving for the prospector the tin dlscjovered mineral dejximls in the district, by preventing their acipiisi tiou through non-niiiicrnl entries, but in facilitating their location, enjoy ment and patenting by good faith mineral claimants in accordance, with laws parsed in the iutcrofat of minnrH. Be it frtlier resolved, that it is tho sense of this congress that tliu Forest service employees in tho field should bo aiithorlzci to investigate in connection with the minors, the lauds covered by railroad grants and other non-mineral patents in the mineral belt, preparatory U) government ac tion in having such lauds as aro mineral exempted nnd scgrated from lands properly held under such grants as nou-iniueral patents, FINE EXHIBIT OE ORES RM SHASTA COUNTY Among tho lutetohttng exhibits from Shasla county at tho Yreka Mining Congress una one from tho Mtumuoth Copper Co., owning tho Mammoth mlno which Iran produced $2(5,000,000 In the past alx years, and Is operating a twelve hundred ton per day smelter at Konnot In that county. This exhibit Included largo blocks of tho ores from tho , mlno showing tho nssaja of each grade, copper .matter representing tho first concentration from tho furnaces, and blister copper, showing tho otuput of tho converters. Blister Copper A mnsslvo display of blister cop per, ready for the refinery, and car rying from !S to 99 per cent of tho red metal, attracted a great deal of attraction, Tho output of Shasta county during 1909. In copper, gold and sliver, according to official fig ures, exceeded $9,I3G.000, and the copper mines of the county alone, during tho past IS years, havu pro duced $72,000,000. Probably tho most Important ex hibit was tho display from tho lioroult electric Iron furnaces, located on Pit River, Shasta county. Tho display included the magnetic Iron oro. cur rying an average of approximately (50 per cent Iron, nnd nlso the othur elements as they enter tho charge. Pig Iron l)iduy. That tho development of electric Iron smelting has been sucesstulty worked out. was demonstrated by a fino display ot Iron pig, the product of Hcroult. This pig Iron was dis played in four grades nnd the product Is classed with tho best grades pro duced in America.
