Tho nlxth annual hohhIoii of tho
American Mining congrosn which mot
at Dead wood -Lend, Souh Dakota, last
weok, wiih attondod by unprecedented
HiiccoMri in ovory way. Thoro was a
largo attendauco and a groat deal of
interorit was manifested throughout
tho country. Presldout Richards'
annual addroHS waH a strong effort,
culling attention to tho Importance of
a national department of minoH and
many points of lutorost rolatlvo to
thn industry.
Lesllo M. Shaw, secretary of tho
treasury, wiih prosout. In part ho
said :
"It Ih an orror to nito thn impor
tance of our many Industries according
to their relative productivoiicFH.
Our factnrloH anil work shops produced
?i:i, 01)0. 0()(t. 01)0 gross in 11100;
nrglculturo, 1, 000. (100. 000; fores
try, 6'J, 000. 000. 000; and iiilueH,
$1,000,000,000, about ei)uallly
dlviilod botuoou motalllcaud non-mo-ttilllc
products. Vet It must occur
to all that manufacture apparently
our greatest wealth producing in
dustry is dependent upon iron,
copper, load, zinc, and other metals,
and equally upon coal and other
miu-motalllc miiieralH. Our miiiiu
faeturiiiK Interests would dwindle
into IiisIkuIIIciiiu'ii but for our mines.
"A poopIo'h prosperity is not
iiioiihuitiI by Hh capacity to produce
morn than by itn capacity to con
sume, and thlH capacity to consume
is in turn dependent upon the earn
ing capacity of the individual, and
the earning capacity of the individual
is again dependent upon native and
acquired ability. So, if America bo
great, it is because (iod in his wisdom
stored the mountains with the richest
minerals, overlaid tho valleys with a
most fertile soil, and then gave it to
a people competent, in some slight,
degree at least, to Improve their
opportunities."
The next sessinti of tho Congress
will be held in Portland. This will
be In llt0.r).
Tucker, th Muclur.
There was a young miner named
Tucker,
Who won a tlrst prize as a mucker.
Said he, "As a digger
I sure cut a tlgger,
Atid let no mau take me for a
sucker."
