For the purpose of coming to a better understanding in regard to tho character of work to be done during the' year by the American .Mining oongicsii. Secretary Secre-tary J. C. Callbreath has been in Salt Lake from his Denver headquarters for two days conferring with President John Dern. Mr. Callbreath slated on Tuesday Tues-day that the congress does not content Itself with working only during the annual an-nual sessions, but the whole year long is devoted to continuous effort for the good of the mining cause. "Wc arc conferring upon the appointments appoint-ments of the various committees and giving giv-ing the work for the coming year a thorough thor-ough going over." he said, "and I also want to assist, in increasing the Interest among the Utah mouthers In the work of our congress. We hope to do this by tho aid of our new plan, which is the creation of state chapters, and chapters chap-ters In each of the camps of the state where an organization tan be perfected. Matters of purely local Interest can be handled by the local chapters. In case their business affects the state at large they can apply to the ntalo chapter, and 1 In caso of Interstate or national affairs 1 creeping in the slate chapter In turn can apply to the congress itself. "This plan Is working perfectly In Colorado, Colo-rado, and it Is arousing th Interest which heretofore has been lacking among our state people. And the same results can be had hero In Utah. I feel sure. It Is a pari of the plan to hold monthly meetings, meet-ings, and wo hope that some first-class and competent man will be found for state secretary. With such chapters and with such a man. the minim? Industry of Utah should be served to splendid purpose. pur-pose. "The most important question confronting confront-ing the congress this year Is the disposal dis-posal of tho mineral land questions now 1 before the people. Our efforts will bo centered tills year on discussing and In- ! vestlgating the mineral land laws, to j the end that these laws mav be rcvlsnd and codified to tho benefit of the mining industry. Radical changes should be made with extreme care, and we should know definitely what we want before go-InK go-InK after it. ' "I wish to emphasize, too, the importance import-ance of tho west knowing exactly what it wants In regard to the conservation bills which soon will be receiving the attention at-tention of congress at Washington. Wc munt have our programme perfected In every detail before attempting to enlist the eastern congressmen in our cause. Tho most vital point lo Utah. Colorado and all the slope states. In fact, Is water power. Whether all the water power sites should bo held by the government as suggested, giving birth to tho Jcaslng aystom. Is a view to which the mining concrcss stands squarely opposed. . "By a bill now at Washington, for the sake of illustration, it Is provided that .in order 'o secure a right of wav across government land, tho owner and developer de-veloper of power sites must deed to th government all his rights, securing a lease on the same. Thus, the govern-mentsneks govern-mentsneks to cot Indirectly what it cannot can-not secure directly, vested riphts. "The congress intends to keep closclv In touch with the new mines bureau, of i which it claims to be the father, so vnu sco we have mapped out quite a busy 1 year. The Importance of these matters I naturally appeals to every one. and the 1 best way to reach the right solution 1 Is for all to work heart and soul wilh the congress In bringing about a. consummation con-summation which will be for the benefit of tho west."
