H MEANS MUCH TO WEST H Good News Received Wednes- H day by Secretary Callbreath HB of Mining Congress. HBH .lames r Callbreath, secretary of ths H9 American Mining congress, arrrved In HH slt Lake City vTednebday morning for HR :h xi. --' of attending tb- sessions of HB1 the Transmlssleslppl congress, and to H hake hands again with the local mining MBI men. When seen by The Tribune, Mr. ''ullbreath waa regarding a telegram he R1 had Just received from Washington svlth Rfl' considerable amount of gratification, for It gave him the first Information of the fact that one of tha last acta of the 9HH' last congress. whh h died so hard the HQBf first of the week, was the appropriation BBm of $50. POO for the furtherance of the bu- Sk9 reau of mines activities In the western taBB metal mining fields. jflwi Mr. Callbreath stated that the amount, BBSs . 'i smaller than as desired. Is a HH -naxnin-ent achievement, because it ia RBB the first time congress has seen fit to Hflfll move In behalf of the western metal mln- RJHIi Ing Industry. V ' r since the bureau of BfiUl t.ilries PTM organised tbe operations of the mBW u'ne have been confined by express pro- fragH Isioas In the act of rongrxt to coal eSmR mining fields, anv a tlon heretofore of OWj the bureau In western metal fields be- BSfpp ng expressly prohibited. gift Is Opening Wedge. eUwh Ourlng the whole of the past session m Mr. Callbreath. on behalf of the Ameri- BBHPi ''an Mining congress, labored In Wash- Bnlj Inston for an appropriation of not less BSfHf than 1100.000 for the bureau of mines ex - fjgBwi tending its operations out Into the wcsi- jStBti rn " ' l,! districts. He had been given to understand that congress would refuse HBH positively to appropriate any amount tOX RHffij this purpose tills year but In some as gBH yet unexplained but decidedly fortunate gwljjf manner some friend of the metal mining SHgjjt industry managed to get the $50,000 item iHBal into the bill, and for the first time in its Hnffl career the bureau of mines of the gov- yijflBl rrnment can now undertake some of the BjtjH difficult and long overdue problems that MSB confront the metal mining Industry of BgM this country. IfflHj "It la not entirely a question of HOB amount." said Mr CallbreatJi to The HQ Tribune, "It is tnalnly a question of gHEfJl making the first appropriation, for ooeaj 3SKh "ich work Is started by congress It ran gjjmfl not he allowed to die. The appropriation HyLi next Year will he larger without ques- B9n tlon, and that is why such a difficult time MB was had in getting any initial appropri- 5IRB nflon through. Congress appreciates that hH i must continue such work hereafter, Eggl and there Is no question but what the Euan great good to be accomplished hy Iir;tor (JkSSI Holmes and his associates will be BUffl- WSH (lent argument for the regulir malnlc- fMAa nance of such western metal actlvny by tBtjnfl the bureau." jjm What Will Be Done, BfifHn Asked what. In his opinion, would be HKft tbr first step undertaken by the bureau fi Of mints in the metal fields. Mr. Cal- 9HI lrath replied that he could no speak (BR su'horltatlvely. but he believed that ef- BH 'oitn will be confined at Hrt to tbe de- 9H termination of some of the troublesome D i-etalhirglcal difficulties that confront the oKB nestern miner, such as the mor eco- flfllf nomkaJ treatment of low-grade ores. SB 'bat resources now practically valueless H may be brought witlvn commercial reach flBf by Improved processes. T1re-tor Holrrea IB unquestionably win outline his campaign Hfl ;uid organise his working forces as soon HF hs consistent, and the "west can look for H onie splendid results of thlH work.
