Show The mining congress to be held in . Denver on November 18th is an assured success, and promises to be the greatest I gathering of the kind ever witnessed. ' It will not only be a meeting of delegates, dele-gates, but thousands of miners and mining men from all sections will be in attendance. The railroads are arranging arrang-ing special rates, and it is expected that the lines will be heavily patronized patro-nized during the congress. The town of Aspen, for instance, talks of sending one thousand people. A number of the mining companies will permit all their men to go, allowing them full time during their absence. It is expected ex-pected that matters will be discussed which will be interesting and instructive instruct-ive to all classes; and in addition the gathering will be a grand demonstra- tion in favor of silver. Utah certainly should take a prominent part in the great event; and The Times hopes that a large delegation from this section will attend. The annexation sentiment in Canada seems to be spreading very rapidly.and it is causing the home government no little anxiety. The Salisbury ministry has recently given some indications that it would forcibly resist such a movement. Some troops, it is said, are to be sent into the Dominion, and government officials are reported to have declared that an English fleet would be put on the lakes if the United States should abrogate the treaty of 1817, under which the two governments are pledged not to keep armed vessels in those waters. If England really desires de-sires to put a damper on the annexation annexa-tion idea, she should not contemplate any display of force. About the time the Canadians realized that they were to be coerced there would be a repetition repeti-tion of the performance of '76. |
