TODAY'S W
Delegates Consider Important Addresses
and Basolntlona.
From a body engaged In flinging of
courtesies at visitors and boats, the
Mining congress waa rapidly trsns
formed this morning into a business or
ganisation. The opening gun waa a set
of resolutions relative to the mining Jn
duatry. and which will undoubtedly have
the sanction of this congress President
Richards' resolutions thst a department
of mines be catabllahcd. lta secretsry
to be a member af the president's cab
lnet. waa reported with the recommend
ation that it be unanlmoualy passed.
President Rlchsrds also Introduced a
resolution asking that the forestry bu
reau be removed from the Interior de
partment, nnd placed with the depart
ment of agriculture. Thla waa referred
to the resolutions committee. A reso
lution urging tha eaUbllshment of an
assay office In Portland was presented
by Colonel F. V. Drake of thla city.
Two of the government's moat Influ
ential workers were In attendance thla
morning, at the special request of the
president, to aak for euggestlons on land
laws and use of the public domain. They
are K. H. Newell, chief of the reclama
tion service and Olfford Plnchot. chief
of tha forestry bureau. They were
roundly applauded, and were given op
portunity to address the assemblage.
Mr. WeweU'a Speech.
Mr Newell sDoke briefly. He ex
plained thst he and Mr. Plnchot wert
members of the public lands commis
sion appointed byhe president to rec
ommend needed legislation in regard to
land lawa and graate practical utility
Of public domain. They had been la
conference with agriculturists, livestock
men lumber men, and others, and had
been asked by the president to attend
this session of the mining congress to
meet the miners. Any suggestion that
those Interested in mining can make
In thla respect will be appreciated by
the commlaalon and the president, and
If it meets with approval of the com
mission, will be Incorporated In a rec
ommendation by the president to the
national congress.
There baa always been discussion re
garding the apex law and extra lateral
rights," said the speaker, -and If this
subject were brought up here, there la
no doubt that eloquent remarks would
be heard, of a helpful nature."
Olfford Plnchot, who has been In
closer touch with mining Interests
through the workings of tha forestry
bureau, defined a policy on the part of
the government thit plaaaed all the
mining men. He dtaclatmad any pur
pose on the part of the government to
hamper or impede any Industry.
The fundamental idea he had In
mind when tha president created the
public lands commlaalon," he Bald, "was
to gat at the best use that could be
made of public domain an idea which
originated with the president In Its
present form. Wt are asked to inves
tigate how public lands may be put Into
better uac. In particular, we are asked
how we can Improve the uaa of public
domain for the miner." ,
Preservation of timber, preservation
of water, and fullest service to local in
terests are the three divisions he made
of the work. He had found lumbermen
desirous of preserving timber, butting
tha old and permitting tba young trees
to grow. Livestock men war deatroua
of preserving a permanent range, giv
ing grass permanency as a resouroe.
Mlnera had to have timber also, as well
as wpter. and he did not doubt that they
would be with the government in the
general work. When the Black Hills
forest reserve waa created Mr. Plnchot
asid that bitter opposition developed
among the mining men affected, as well
aa the ranchera. but now no more
Staunch adherents of forestry work
could be found, and the Black Hills
men would not have their reserve
thrown open.
"When mining men come to know
what wo do," aald the speaker, "they
are with ns. After this general protec
tion of timber and water, we aeek to.

I was sura to have backache In an acute

looking over the paper I noticed a con

Too Moon Bad Tap.
Mr. Plnchot admitted that some of the
most serious complaints made to the bu
reau from mining Interests where re
serves were being created, waa against
the red tape required to aecure permis
sion to rut timber needed on reaervea
for the mineral Industry. After quoting
the law. which sets forth the right or
the prospector to pursus his work on re
serves, and the mine operator to secure
timber there by making proper applica
tion, the speaker handled "red tap"
as follows:
I am obliged to admit frankly tnai
there Is Just complaint on the ground of
red tape, but wish to say that the gv-
mmem being swar of that raci . la rag

there will ba much leas of It In fhe fu

resolution Just Introduced by Judge
Richards will tend to do sway wun ns.
When a mining man desires i.Q aecure
timber, he wanla It at once. He cannot
wait, for his need may bn urgent. At
ureseat. hia application la made to tba
supervisor (who should have the power
JOHN QRAY
Director of the American Mining Con
gress. to ac,t). The supervisor makes a re
port on It, and sends the application to
the commissioner of Che general land
office. Tha latter sends It to tha sec
retary of the interior, and ha sends it to
tha accretary of agriculture. Thla last
named official sends the application to
the forerVry department, for an expert
opinion aa to whether the timber should
be cut. Then It goes back the way It
came."
At the eloae of Mr. Plnchot'a address.
Delegate Joseph of Salt Lake asked him
in regard to the large areas of agricul
tural land Included In reaerves, when the
representative of the president thanked
him for the reference, and sal It waa
tha purpose of the government to ex
clude all such primarily, and where they
had beep Included Inadvertently, to have
them thrown open. "It la better to raise
grain on land than trees, but If grain can
not be grown on It, then make It pro
duce trees." was tne summary that
brought forth. Joud applause from the
convention.
SBMATOB MXTCmSU'B SPEECH.
Presents the Claims of Portland for a
Branch Mint.
United States Senator John Mitchell,
first on the program for an address at
this morning's session, had assigned to
him the subject of "Branch Mint or
Assay Office at Portland." As the mo
tive for a vast amount of effort during
the past year In various parts of thla
state, establishment of either has en
listed active efforts of Oregon iana. Sen
ator Mitchell waa one of the active
workers, and In hla address narrates
what has been done.
Introductory, he greeted the mem
bers of the congress, and expreased hla
gratitude at having the 1904 session held
here. He deplored the fact that the
mining industry In the past had not re
ceived the attention to which he felt It
waa entitled. Production of the atatc
and coast districts tributary to this
center were dwelt upon briefly to ahow
the nee of an assay office In thla city.
"Therefore," he said, "It la that tha
miner now engaged In developing Hit
hidden treasures of tha mineral regions
of eastern, middle and southern Oregon,
with no aasay office nearer than Boise,
Idaho, on the eaat, Seattle on the north,
and Ban Fanclaco on the south, la Just
ly entitled, as sre the capitalists who
sre investing their money In the devel
opment of these rich mineral regions, to
have an aasay office established In
Portland, Or.; this being a location that
Is equally accessible end convenient for
sll Interested, both miner and capitalist,
in all these mineral sections.
"But aside from national considera
tions," aald the senator, "are not the
men who by the light of the lamp toll
day and night beneath the ground, ex
posed as they are every hour of their
life to Instant death while uncovering
and bringing to light earth's hidden
minerals, entitled to some consideration
at the hands of the national govern
ment?" "The tillers of the soil, the workers
in the shops, the men who man our
ships, who build and operate our great
lines of railway, are worthy of the geu
eroua aympathy and aupport of the gov
ernment and they receive It; but. equal
ly with them, are the tolling thousands
who live and work beneath the ground
In developing our mineral wealth, un
titled to the sympathy, encouragement
and aupport of our government. '
"I do not believe It Is necessary at
present to establish another mint on thn
Pacific coast," said the apeaker, when
getting down to hla topic. "Besides, I
am riulte sure It Is not possible at the
present time to secure congressional
legislation to that effect. But. I do be
lieve th government should establish an
assay office in this city. I believe, alao,
another assay office should be estab
lished at Bait Lake City In the etate
of Utah.
One BUI Burled.
"In the Fifty-seventh congress I In
troduced a hill In the senate providing
for the establishment of an aasay office
at Portland, Or. This bill waa reported
ravorably from the committee on
finance of the senate, and was passed
through the senate at tne second session
of that congress. Two bills were Intro
duced in the house at the same session.
One by Representative Moody, which
provided for the establishment of an
aaaay office at Baker City, Or., and an
other by Representative Tongue, which
provided for the establishment of an aa
say office at Portland. This latter wag
similar i.o that introduced by me and
which 'passed the senate. Mr. Moody's
bill waa reported favorably from the
house committee on coinage, weights
and measures, no further action was
had. however, on that bill. The bill t
Introduced in the 1 senate, and which
passed tbe senate that session, rent to
' flaal Haw 4ksa" 9
, aaasBKMXsBBBS
the house, and on May , 1101, wag re
ferred to the committee on coinage,
weights and mraaurcs. and no further
action was had.
Another Attempt.
"I again at tho present congress In
troduced this bill, and It waa on April
14. 1104, reported favorably and unanl
moualy from the senate commVtee on
finance, and on the same cfay passed the
senate wlthdbt a dissenting vote. It
waa then sent to the house and on the
same day referred to the committee on
coinage, weights and measures, but, as
congress adjourned finally four daya
thereafter, no further action waa had.
As I have said I feel quite confident
favorable action will be - had on thla
hill at the next asaaton of the present
congress. I am uuite confident had our
delegation In the house Of representa
tive been u ii ved. aa to the place of lo
cation. In the laat congress my bill
would have become a law then.
I am aware of the fact that the
present director of the mint. George B.
Roberts. Is not favorable to tho ea
Ubllshment of any more aaaay offices.
Hiv I believe he la wrong, and I do not
believe hla opposition will be received
with favor by either house of congress.
It certalnlv waa not by the senate Id
either of the laat two eesalons. aa la
clearly apparent from what I have Just
stated.
wetland Is OsntraL
"Now why do I prefer the establish
ment of an aasay office at Portland,
Instead of at some point In eastern Ore
gon? I will tell you why. There are
three great mineral producing regions
In the state of Oregon; one In eastern
Oregon, one In central or middle Oregon,
and a third In southern Oregon. The
city of Portland, therefore, is the logical
mining center of the etate. It la the
great commercial eutreport also of the
aUte, and It has alwaya seemed to me
apd doea now, that In order Co accom
modate, all of the mineral developers of
all sections of our state, the aasay of
fice should be established in Portland.
Pledges Xls Support.
"While the eaUbllshment of sn assay
office at Baker CRy. Oregon, would of
course be more convenient for tbe
miners and capitalists In that region, It
would be practically Inaccessible to the
miners and capitalists of middle and
southern Oregon; and It Is wholly Im
possible to secure the establishment of
more than one aasay office In the sUte
of Oregon, and It follow that the on
w do hope to secure, should be estab
lished at a point that would be conven
ient and accessible for all mineral sec
tlona of the state. ,
"In view of all these considerations,
therefore, I believe Portland to be the
proper place for the location of an aa
say office. If one Is established In the
sUte of Oregon, and I expect- to do
everything In my power to secure favor
able action on my bill, which passed
the senate laat seaston, and which, if it
becomes a law. will provide for the es
tablishment of An assay office in thla
city, which will be of great accommoda
tion ncg only to the mineral producers
and developers of the precious metals in
eastern, central and southern Oregon,
but to many In Washington and Alaska,
who may find It more convenient to
come here than to go to Seattle."
TIGHT OO:
WXDMXSDAY.
Tomorrow Afternoon Headquarters
Question Will Be Settled.
At the close of Senator Mitchell's ad
dress. Delegate Patterson of Omaha se
cured the floor and for lb minutes read
ike riot ac to, tha members of the con
gress for being recreant In attending
sessions. He urged that everybody be
present this evening and that the people
of Portland turn out aa well to heart the
addreaa of Chancellor Andrewa on "The
Promoter and His Place In Develop
ment." The resolution asking that a depart
ment of mines and mining be eatabllahed
waa reported favorably from the com
mittee on resolutions and the congress
waa about ready to act upon It when J.
T. Conforth of Alaska moved that the
word "mining" be atrlcken out and that
tha word "metallurgy" substituted in the
title of the prospective. department. This
met with vigorous opposition and waa
voted dogear after which the resolution
was unanimously adopted.
The resolution of Judge Powers of
Utah, fixing Wedneaday at 2 p. m. aa th
time of voting upon the permanent head
quarters question waa adopted.
Senator Mitchell took the platform
at thla Juncture and spoke as follows:
"Gentlemen of the. congress and real
dents of Portland, If there are any here.
I am deeply humiliated to think that
Portland could not pay thla congress at
least the compliment of filling these
chairs. I am humiliated when I look
around upon ao few citizens of Portland
In th audience. I want yon to come out
tonight, every one of you, and bring all
your frlenda and acquaintances, to listen
to the addreaa of Chancellor Andrews,
who has traveled over 1,000 miles at hla
own enpenee to Instruct you. These pro
ceedings sre much mor Interesting than
any horse race."
The senator's sentlmenU were loudly
.applauded. AfUr hearing a few an
nouncements, the congress took a recess.

Resolution and Spches Considered
Late Teste rday.
Lat yesterday afternoon resolutions
began to flow In Delegate Joseph of
Salt Lake Introduced a resolution which
Is raleutated to bring the Influence of
thla congress to bear against the recent
ruling of 'the Interior department, which
holds that patent rtvurda ahall control
aa U description of boundaries of
claim, error or no error. The effect of
this ruling has been widely advertised
by Colorado, where a oas. arose snow
Ing the peculiar injury thai could result
therefrom. It waa found that error In
patent reoorda would aometlmea pluce a
man's property far from tbe monuments
he had erected to marie hla ground, and
which. In fuci. defined the mineral area
he sought to develop. This resolution,
with others, went to th committee.
W. D. Fnton delivered the addreaa on
"The Lewis and Clark Kxpoaltlon " in
atcad of President if. W. Good, whose
dutlea held htm elsewhere. Mr. Fenton
reviewed the original expedition In fe
licitous -manner and brought the audi
ence down to the exposition enterprise
with a delicate lnvlutlon to co-operate
In a work Hint hud audi significance tn
the nation.
H. W. Scott. In hla Address on "Rela
tion of Mining to the World's General
Advancement." presented Interesting
figures on the production of minerals
at varloua periods of national progreea,
ahowlng the close aasoclatlon of the two,
nnd after reciting the argument of Pres
ident Richards in regard to a mining de

BUt delegation caucuaes were nu

A trolley excursion Is a feature of
tomorrow's entertainment of the visit
ing members of the American Mining
congreaa. Secretary Tom Richardson of
the Commercial club announced at the
opening of tbe convention thla morning
that the club rooma were open to alt
membera, and thoao not having cards
were urged to secure them.
The troUey ride had been planned for
4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, but owing
to the Inability of the railway compan
ies to accommodate the delegatea at that
hour, the time had to be hastened, and
at 1 o'clock all able to participate are'
asked to be at Flrat and Washington
streets, where tbe entertainment com
mittee will seek 'to provide them with
cars. When the proposition waa put, to
the. convention it carried without dis
sent. or si paso.
Tza City Wants Best Session of Con
gress and Tells Why,
El Paso, as th meeting place of th
Mining congress neat year. Is not only
hacked by the International Miners'
association and New Mexico, Texaa and
Arizona, hut many members of the con
greaa from other atatea wear the unique
sombrero badges of El Paso.
A. W. Olfford, secretary of the Inter
national Miners' association. Is enthusi
astic for El I'aao.
"The congress has never met in the
southwest," he remarked, "and we want
it in 1105 to ahow mining men the great
resources of the southwestern autes
and Mexico, where American capitalists
are pouring their millions Into mining
investments. At El Paso la located th
headquartera of the International asso
ciation. Come down end see It. The
IS, 000 certified check that we brought to
Portland aa an evidence of good faith la
but a portion of what El Paso would ex
pend In entertaining the congreaa."
C. B Kelly, another member of the
delegation, believes that the argument
that El Paso has no entertainment to
offer la altogether ridiculous. Just
across the river from El Paso Is one of
the greatest bullfight arenas In the
world, very recently erected. Cockfights
and other Mexican sports are alwaya to
be seen. This at Juares, which affords
aa much contraat, compared with El
Paso, as thefe la between Portland and
Bombay. Indian dances, historic pa
geants and Astec sports are also prom
