MINING CONGRESS
FORMALLY OPENS
Pinchot Defends Conservation
Policies and Gives Views
Regarding Oil Lands
MINERAL LAWS DISCUSSED
President Buckley Urges $500,
--000 Endowment for the
National Organization
(Continued from Pare One)
grants of the Southern Pacific saying
ti.at these grants should not prejudice
any against conservation, and with
his i closing remarks, ■which follow,
brought forth a storm of applause
' •which lasted for several-minutes. He
said:
"The government will not be doing
I Its duty unless it attacks title of th©
Southern Pacific grants through legis
lation or otherwise and restore these
■■ lands to the people of the United
■ States. Before you condemn conser
vation find out what the friends of
conservation assert and not what
enemies to it declare or dispute."
Before Mr. Pinchot arrived Presi
dent E. R. Buckley delivered his an
nual address, telling of the accom
plishments of the American Mining
congress the past year.
He reported that the year had been
a successful one in the association,
Its financial condition, having Im
proved and membership increased.
SEEKS ENDOWMENT v.
He made a plea for a permanent
endowment of $500,000, which he
thought could easily be contributed
from the great fortunes made In
American mines.
He alluded to the necessity for a.
revision of the mineral land laws and
the elimination of the Intricate litiga
tion which now seems necessary to
perfect and retain titles.
To protect the prospector from the
deception of unreliable assaylsts, he
urged either the establishment of free
assay laboratories under the bureau of
mines or the licensing of assay labor
atories and their maintenance under a
system of state inspection. In this con
nection President Buckley denounced
the "pseudo professional man, who
lends himself to the support of fake
mining propositions, furnishing the
most alluring reports at bo much per
thousand words.
"They are often more dangerous,"
he said, "than the promoter whose mine
is merely a castle In the air."
He also criticised "fake promotion"
as one of the evils of mining and urged
the enactment of state laws taxing
mining ventures on their stock issued
as one of the best means for prevention
of overcapitalization.
Mr. Buckley urged the congress to
give its attention both to mine safety
and mine sanitation and thought It
possible to accomplish much in this di
rection by proper illumination, ventila
tion and drills that will be less pro
ductive of dust.
Speaking of mining stocks he said
their fluctuations seldom depended on
the earning power of the property it
self, but were the result of a system
of buying and selling, chiefly on mar
gin, which was nothing more nor less
than gambling.
BETTER CONDITIONS URGED
"I trust," he said, "that there may
be some way suggested by which this
body can assist in bringing about a
better, safer, sounder condition in the
stock markets of the country. I may
suggest that one way of doing this is
to urge upon the various companies the
importance of issuing printed monthly
or bi-monthly reports covering In detail
the condion of the property."
On the subject of conservation, Mr.
Buckley said:
"Four things appear to be perfectly
clear in a consideration of the prob
lem: ;
"First, as mining men we cannot af
ford to have the government enact
legislation which will make the occu
pation of mining more hazardous than
It either respecting the protection
of life or the investment of money;
second, that nothing shall be done
that will in any way retard the de
velopment of our manufacturing in
dustries that depend upon the prod
ucts of the mines for their business;
third, that everything possible be done
to increase the percentage of metals
that can be recovered from the ore
deposits and from deposits of coal,
oil and gas; and, fourth, to bring
about as quickly as possible the use
of substitutes for the present sources
of power and for tho metals which are
supposed to be limited in quantity.
There should be the fullest develop
ment of our mineral resources, under
such federal or state co-operation and
• regulations as will insure the maxi
mum elimination of waste, it being
agreed that our mineral resources
should be exploited with intelligence
and in a fair and upright manner.
"The question of the ownership of
the public domain should, as far as
possible, be considered apart from
that of conservation. In doing this, It
should be remembered that ownership
that may be otherwise desirable may
be undesirable from the standpoint of
conservation and vice versa. The
question of ownership is political and
sociological, while conservation Is
technical and scientific."
MORNING SESSION
The congress was formally opened
at 10:30 o'clock yesterday morning,
when President B. R. Buckley took the
chair and Introduced Alden Anderson,
•who spoke in behalf of Governor Gil
lett, who could not be present owing
to official business which detained him
at Sacramento. Mr. Anderson, ex
pressing the wishes of Governor Gil
lett, said that the state of California,
in which mining in the west had its
birth, was over for the mining men,
and wished that everything would be
done at this congress favorable to the
mining Interests of the state. Ho said
that legitimate mining was entitled to
the support of all people of the state,
and that the business Interests in gen
eral should co-operate with those of
mining.
Mayor George Alexander was intro
duced and presented President Buck
ley in behalf of .the delegates to the
American Mining congress with a huge
• key, made of wood— California
product, to be sure—saying that this
• particular Instrument was the key to
Los Angeles and would admit the dele
gates, their families and friends to
everything in town that was just and
In keeping with good government. The
mayor referred to the oil Industry and
what great things had been accom
plished both In oil and metal mining
in sixty years, and said that with the
completion ox tti* iVjwai* rana4 a*

gTeater field would be open to mining
in all its branches, through the port
of Los Angeles.
President Buckley, in responding,
said the key was big enough for a
walking stick and that the members
of the congress would lean upon it
when necessary. /
Following the mayor, Joseph Scott,
president of the Los Angeles chamber
of commerce, spoke a few words in
welcome for the commercial body he
represents. He paid a high tribute to
the mining men, the hardy spirits of
the desert that have paved tho way for
civilization in this western country.
After inviting the mining men to the
chamber of commerce, he said that
there they would see what Los An
geles has done and can do in the way
of boosting.
"We are not afraid to tell of what
we have out here," said Mr. Scott.
"We have built up this country on grit,
nerve and good climate. We have
everything here that could be asked,
and we owe a lasting debt to the min
ing men who hare done so much In
assisting to build up this great com
munity."
REGRET CAIABKEATIPS IIXNESS
E. A. Montgomery, president of the
Sierra Madre club, the organization
that was instrumental in bringing the
congress hero this year, welcomed the
mining men In behalf -of the club, as
a practical mining man, who, as he said
in his address, has spent the greater
part of his life In the mining business,
following It from prospector until he
hnd become a mine owner and operator.
He said all mining men—the real
thing—were fraternal, and that the
brotherhood existing among them could
never be severed owing to the peculiar
circumstances attendant upon the
hardships of the desert and in the
operating of mines.
Frank G. Tyrrell spoke in behalf of
the great southwest, which the people
of this region generally believe is com
prised in the states of Southern Cali
fornia, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico
and the west coast of old Mexico.
A resolution of regret was passed on
account of the absence through illness
of James F. Callbreath, jr., secretary
of the congress. Mr. Callbreath is in
the city and will try to attend some of
the meetings. Sidney Norman of the
Sierra Madre club was appointed sec
retary pro tern of the congress, and
will act In Mr. Callbreath's stead until
he can be present in person.
Delegates of the several states and
territories were assigned separate parts
of the theater auditorium for private
meetings during the convention.
AFTERNOON SESSION
The afternoon session was taken up
with responses from delegates repre
senting- their respective states. A num
ber of western states were represen
td, together with several eastern states
producing minerals. These delegates
were official representatives and are
hero not only as delegates to the con
gress but also as a courtesy to the
governors of their states. Among the
prominent speakers of the afternoon
were Byron E. Shear of Colorado, Col.
L. W. Powell and Gen. A. J. Samp
son of Arizona, E. H. Benjamin of
California (San Francisco,) D. W.
Brunton of Colorado, James "W. Ab
bott of Nevada, John Dem of Utah
and David Ross of Illinois.
Colonel Powell, who. is one of the
most influential mining men in the
west and a knight errant in the de
fense of Arizona/ said that the time
was not far distant when Arizona
would prove to be the most resource
ful state in the Union. The word state
was emphasized, for as Col. Powell
and all true Arizonans believe, the ter
ritory will soon have a star In the
national flag.
NEW STAB IN IXACJ
General Sampson followed Colonel
Powell. He was eloquent In his re
marks and paid the highest tribute to
the resources, the men, and the state
of Arizona. Ceneral Sampson said that
the United States had risen to the
top among the mineral producing na
tions and that while the east held the
majority In population it was a fact
that the mineral resources of Arizona
had brought many thousands of the
east's best citizens to the territory and
that the lure of the great community
would bring many thousands more In
the near future. He said he thought
there were better advantages for min
ing In Arizona than in any other place
In the entire world. Ho reviewed the
history of the territory from the time
when It was nothing above ground,
paying a high tribute to the hardy
pioneer who brought greatness out of
the immense dormant resources.
"There were no ditches then," said
General Sampson, "but now some of
the greatest Irrigation projects In the
world are In operation and land is
worth $200 an acre. What do you
think of that for progress? Arizona
must foster mining in all Its branches
and Arizona has the mines."
General Sampson touched upon con
servation by saying that all the people
of Apisona ask to be left alone to de-

velop the resources of Arizona in the
future as they are doing today. He
urged statehood for the territory, em
phasizing the fact that Arizona pro
duced more mir.eral than any other
state. "We should therefore have a
star In the flag," he said.
E. H. Benjamin of San Francisco, re
sponding for California, said that It
was due to the miners of the early
days in California that mining was
permitted to advance throughout the
nation and the world. He held that
mining had reached its present state
of excellent development through the
good work started by the California
pioneers. Mr. Benjamin made a
strong point of the fact that the Cali
fornia mining engineers had paved
the way, after the miner of eafrly
days, for the vast development of the
great mineral resources of the world,
including the mines of South Africa.
David Ross of Illinois told of the
wonderful resources of the coal region
of his state, advancing the theory of
anti-conservation. He said that it
took both strength, honesty and cor
ruption In Illinois to bring the state
to the present stage of development.
"The states of the west are talking
about how big they will be some day,"
•aid Mr. Ross. "I wish to say for my
state that Illinois has arrived. I am
nn Intelligent conservationist, ami I
feel sure we are in no danger of
starvation. We should utilize our re-,
sources by development and not bottle
them up." niu „,„.!
NO CAUSE FOB WOItRY
In speaking of the Illinois coal re
gion Mr. Ross said the Illinois mines
were the greatest of all. He said
there were in the ground at the be
ginning of mining in Illinois about
200,000,000,000 tons, of which only about
733,000,000 tons had been mined. Ho
said there had been to date about
5,000,500,000 tons consumed in the Unit
ed States and that there was enough
left in Illinois alone to supply the na
tion's needs for 999 years. Therefore,
In Mr. Ross' opinion, there is no cause
for worry on the part of those advanc
ing policies of conservation. Mr. Ross,
Judging from his remarks, would leave
many to believe that he had never
heard of California oil, for he said the
nation could not get along without
this coal. The California oil men say
they can supply the nation with fuel
for many years to come from their oil
wells.
J. M. Malcomson of Missouri spoke
of the production in the state where
they have to be shown. He said that
the production from their low grade
lead and zinc mines had greatly in
creased of late years and that Mis
souri led the world in the production
of zinc. He placed the mining indus
try above all others, saying that
through all the ages, including the
bronze, the iron and the rest, it had
been the miner that had kept in the
vanguard of civilization.
James W. Abbott of Nevada was one
of tlie most eloquent speakers of the
session. Mr. Abbol£ who has long
championed the cause of silver from a
commercial standpoint, wholly in the
interests of Nevada, regretted the fact
that the white metal had depreciated
and hoped that for the sake of the rich
silver mines something would soon be
done to restore the metal. He de
plored the fact that silver had taken
on a political aspect, and believed that
if the question was looked upon from
a commercial viewpoint a remedy
could be worked out.
Mr. Abbott, who said he was op
posed to many of the ideas of Mr.
Pinchot, paid the former forester one
of tho highest compliments ever heard
in public. He said that Mr. Pinchot
was one of the most sincere men in
the land today and one of the most
lovable characters.
"No matter how much I differ with
him," said Mr. Abbott, "I want the
facts, and would rather receive them
from him than from any other man.
I can then think out the policy of con
servation to my own satisfaction. Mr.
Pinchot works hard all the time for
the people—all the people of his coun
try. He has given up his life to the
study of natural resources and the
best way in which to conserve them.
He is a student, and aa uuch has mas
tered many Intricate problems of vital
interest to all the people. Let Mr.
Pinehot give us the fact»."
BOSS OT EMPIRIC STATE
The Rev. Harvey M. Shields of New
Mexico spoke in behalf of statehood
for that territory, and said that in
mining the most friendly relations
should exist between employ© and em
ployer; that they should Join for the
common good of the industry and the
mutual benefit of all.
P. J. H. Merrill of New York spoke
of the Iron, salt, lime, petroleum,
building stone and natural gas of the
Empire state, giving facts and figures
to show their great importance in the
realms of the mineral resources of the
country. Mr. Merrill, who was among
the last to speak at the afternoon
meeting, after listening to the many
tributes the several delegates from the
western states had paid to their
states, said:
"You will find the sons of the Em
pire state in all these great western
communities. They are to be found
wherever things worth doing are ac
complished. Wherever mining is fol
lowed you 'will find men that are
proud to call New York their home."
George W. E. Dorsey, a western
mining man, represented his native
state of Nebraska. While Nebraska
does not produce mineral, as Mr. Dor
sey explained. It has furnished the
mines with some of the best meats
that were ever shipped from the
plains into the mountains and upon
the desert.
John Dern of Utah told of the grand
old state of the early days—the state
which stands out foremost today
among the smelting communities of
the west. Mr. Dern said Utah pro
duces every metal, including copper,
gold, silver and lead; also some of the
largest coal mines in the west are
located and operated there.
R. W. Brock, deputy minister of
mines in Canada, who arrived late,
owing- to delay in reaching the city,
wan g-iven the floor upon arrival. Mr.
Urook's remarks were short but sweet.
He said that Canada had been follow
ing the mining operations in the
Tnited States, especially the western
states, and that Canada had learned
about all it knows about metal mining
from Americans. "Formerly," said
Mr. Brock, "Canada produced only
coal. Now mining In all its branches
is well established in the Dominion,
due to United States engineers. Can
ada has watched mining development
in the United States, and Canadians
always like to visit here, where abide
our older brothers in mining, where
we can always learn something of
material benefit to us."

"I can hardly say anything regard
ing my impressions of this great
southwest," said Mr. Brock yesterday, j
"but there Is one thing that I wleh j
Canada had—oil resources such as ex- !
Ist here. This is destined to be one j
of the greatest sections of territory on
the globe.
"Canada is still In an undeveloped
state, though It is being rapidly opened j
up. We have wondrously rich mining |
resources, which I must say were first ]
brought to attention through Ameri
can prospectors. Americans have done
much toward awakening Canada to
her riches.
"Our problems in the Dominion in
regard to mines and mining closely
follow those of America, and I hope
to go home with information which
may aid in the solution of these ques
tions.
"The problem of conservation has
not troubled us greatly, inasmuch as
the greater part of Canada's land still
belongs to the government. Some of
the provinces lease mining claims only
for a term of years. This is true of
Nova Scotia. Public opinion In Can
ada strongly favors the conservation
of natural resources.
"From what I have seen of this
southern land from the train windows
I cannot help but be impressed by its
wonderful agricultural richness. The
climate here is warmer by far than
that which I have been used to, though
I dare say when one becomes accli
mated it is enjoyable."

Haven't you wished that some friend

they advanced from $300 up to tjOOO an
acre? Those places have passed for*

Angeles. Sunland's Monto vista val
ley has tne best climatic protection of
any district on tha coast side of the
Sierras. Come and see it now.
John McQroarty. the famous poet ot
our southland, says of hie visit: "And
I saw a vale that day as fair as any in
all the Land of tba Heart* Desire. I
was ashamed to think that I had let
the years go by and hart wandered far
In quest of beauty, while all the time
Sunland's Monte Vista had been there
in Its ravishing loveliness Just beyond
the threshold of my door."
