NK Judging from the sentiment prevailing HH nmonc the niininp men of the stato, there HI Ss going to be the most enthuulaBtlo and H K largely attended meeting of operators and R If those inlerosted in mining tonight at the H m Commercial club that has ever been held B B iu the state. What the mining men of tt M 'jiah lack, and what they have endeuv- R B nred of late to form, 1b an organization K H for the purposo of promoting tho wd- S j fgre of the Utah mining Industry, a aoct- l M ;ty with definite aims and en orgastic offl- H 3 ers -who will have the foresight to an- ml M tlclpato the needB of the industry and Mf SB to Prenaro or tne snie J" advance. a Why Matter Delayed. It !b almost inconceivable tliat an in-duttry in-duttry hb Important as mining in Utah xhould not have -inspired mi organlza-1 tlon year ago. and wliat has delayed uch a consummation unquestionably is the knowledge that when a crisis is reached the leaders can bet relied upon to act quickly and efficiently. But this S casts the burden of Jabor and providing the flnancos upon a vorv few, and tills f.w havo all along acted In tho role of philanthropists for tho many. Title was illustrated a few weelcs ago when the principal producers of the atuto provided i"or a. representation before congress in behalf of the lead tariff, and the cost of iho programme was borne bv the producers pro-ducers of copper and silver as well as of lead. It appears, however, to be the conviction convic-tion of evoryono that it is far better to prepare for war before war comes, and at the meeting tonight the mioBtl'on of organization will be determined. The mining Industry of Utah Is up against a very important question at this tlmo in tho matter or taxation, and there aro measures pending before tho legislature which aro considered adverse to tho producer pro-ducer of ore, and It Is generally appreciated appreci-ated that tho mine owner in the- past has borno far more than his just proportion nf tli tnvna. I Question of Taxation". This is a. matter In wliich 'the whole Kfate should bo interested. .Mining officials, offi-cials, aB the trust oos for their shareholder.';, sharehold-er.';, have :t duty to these shareholders to perform, and they should naturally take the load at tonight's meeting. Shareholders Share-holders themselves owe it to themselves 3 8 well au their respective organizations to attend, while tho business men of the city and stato. who aro dependent upon the mines and smelters for tholr prosperity, pros-perity, should attend and lend their support sup-port to anything- looking to a betterment of an industry that means Si5.(fl0,000 annually an-nually to tho commonwculth. There is no one who would wilfully injure tho mining Industry of tho stattf, but there ace many who might do a tre- mentions injury to mining by ill-advised legislative measures unless shown beforehand be-forehand what thu result would be. It is up to Utah mining to look out for Its iutcrcRts. and a big step forward should he. rnado tonight. ITovadas in San Trancisco. Jainea A.
