Local members of the American MIn-ing MIn-ing congress are In receipt of tho state- mcnt for April. 1010, giving many lntl- IH mations of what tho next session at Los Angeles will have before It for con-sidcratlon. con-sidcratlon. Ono Item, however. Is omit-ted, omit-ted, nnd that Is tho question of who must maintain the congress offices in Denver. Unless this matter is adjusted prior to tho next session. It will bo up to Denver to show Its hand. It Is understood that Denver promised to maintain the offices In return for tho honor and advantage of retaining tho national headquarters of tho lnstltu- 1 lion. Salt Lake and other centers H wanted tho headquarters, and Salt Lake B City even went so far as to guarantee a B special building for this purpose. But HjjVH Denver won, and now it Is said that J Instead of the city meeting tho ex- IBJjhH penses of the offices, tho congress Itself HjjSJ has been forced to meet the bills. There HjjSH is a strong conviction that Denver should HJjhH be held to Its bargain, so It Is likely jjpj that this matter will be brought up J at tho coming Los Angeles annual meet- HjjSH Salt Lake City Is well represented orj J the official list of the congress. John J Dcrn and George W. E. Dorscy are first jjpj and second vice presidents, respective- JjhB ly, Duncan MacVlcnle is a member of HBVJ the advisory board, and John Dern la HJjhH one of tho three members of the execu- JjhB tive committee. Judge W. IT. Dickson HJjhH is a member of tho general revision of jHjjpJ mineral land laws comnuttoe and B. N.
