Show iK!iEo Director of Mining Bureau Should Be Broad and Well Versed. COAL MINING TO GET THE POSITION Should Be Man Knowing That There Is Metal Mines in Country. "Mining men with whom I have talked since tho passage of the law creating a mining bureau In our national government govern-ment evidently seem to be satisfied that tho law has boen enacted, but from that point their Interest ceases." said G. W. RItcr. the mining cnglneor. to The Tribune Trib-une ropresonlatlvo on Friday. Ho continued: con-tinued: "It Is taken as a matter of fact that the coal branch of mining, bolng tho most Important branch at present, Is deserving de-serving of tho honor of appointing the dlroctor of this bureau, and that the metal mining branch need not attempt to assert Itself in thin matter. This all may be true, nnd tho coal mining Industry In-dustry will In all probability be honored In this regard, but It Is up to the metal mining men to see that tho appointee Is a man who Ih cognizant of the fact that there Is moro In the mining business busi-ness than coal mining. In othor words, tho metal operators should oxert every possible energy to fco that a broad man Is selectod as director, one who Is capable ca-pable of doing justice to their Interests as well as to tho eastern coal mon. "Thoro arc several candldntos from tho oastern coal Holds being backed for this appointment. Tho matter Is of such groat Importance to all tho west that every ev-ery Influence should be brought, to bear upon tho powers that bo that the selection selec-tion will be fair to both tho cast and west. I do not believe that the western mining men appreciate the Importance of this matter, and I think It Just as woll that their attention bo called to It through your columns. "Western mining mon should get behind be-hind J. A. Holmes and boost, for of all those- mentioned as probable appointees, ho Is certain to be tho best friend of the western mining Industry. He has been a friend of the movemont all along, and his appointment will partako less of tho purely poltlcal than can be said of scvcrnl other mon now In tho race." New York Mining Stocks. James A.
