and our mines and nd reduction works are the wonder and admiration ol ot of engineers and m metallurgists the world over I I I need not refer to the statistics which show Utah's Uth's rank as a producer of other metals Our gold and sliver silver silvermines mines havo have long been famous and our lead production has hns an important effect upon tho the supply of that metal Nor Is i Utah restricted to metal met mining Coal salt asphaltum and other hydrocarbons gypsum fireclay and other we wealth wealth-ma king products wo we have in i abundance Utah Uth people sometimes so go away from home to mine but hut generally they come coma comeback comeback back backwith with tho verdict that as a a mining state stat Utah has no superiors One Ono of ot tho the subjects that will 1 probably bo he dl discussed In this meeting Is I the transportation transportation trans trans- problem I need not remind you ou that this title question queston Is one of or tho most vital and one of ot the tho most concrete that confronts us The life Ure of oC man many mines Is 5 absolutely dependent upon transportation facilities s und and rates If I WP Wa Wf approach this subject In a of fairness desiring Justice for ourselves without Injury to others other I 1 have base no doubt that the discussion discus discus- slot sion hero may mn lead to Improved cd conditions condi condi- tons wherever where abuses exist J Department of Mines One Ono of ot the the prIm primary T objects of or the American mining congress is to secure tho the creation of ot a department of mines and mining In the national government go ermont Tho The of or a new cabinet portfolio portfolio port port- folio is never or easily brought about about and no new department has ever or been Introduced Intro Intro- before a strong intelligent demand for It I was H aroused It I Is for tor tho the mem mem- bers of or this congress to carr carry on a campaign campaign cam cam- cm- cm of education so that tho the representatives representatives represent represent- atves of ot t the people may know that there Is 15 a genuine ne need for such a department It I has often occurred to me mo that a gOO gOOman good man many of our members member and prominent mi mining mining mi- mi ning men o of oC the country are arc lukewarm about this subject subject Tho They Thoy admit that a de department department do- do of or mines an and mining would woul be bea ben a n go good thing Citing but the they have not worked up tip lp sufficient enthusiasm to make them put forth earnest earest unremitting efforts to get such a department Instituted I venture to say that If Teach Trach and every e cr one of us tie were Imbued with a rel religious lous conviction of ot the tho value allt tho Justice and the Importance of or this movement mo the de desired de- de e- e sired aired object could bo obtained In a comparatively com corn ely short time If It as I havo said thoro thero are aro al mining men who do not display a deep Interest In this work ork I 1 am am sure uro It I Is Ie because thoy they have havo not given gen the matt mattOr matter mat mat- t ter tOr r careful attention My experience has Deen Peen that any anyone one who studies the plan deeply Is hI Ii sure to become one ono of or Its Is pronounced pronounced pronounced pro pro- advocates ad If H we wa can ca make of ot ourselves a n band of or ardent ml missionaries preaching In every state that is hero her represented represented rep rep- resented the need of or a department of or mines and arni mining our senators senator sad and ad members mem mern- hors bers of or congress oud soon Moon take heed of oC the demand and ad act accordingly In this brief address I cannot adequately ads ade give gl e voice to tho the reason wh why ala ala- the department of or mines and mining would be desirable and bene beneficial I want Int however however how how- ever or to emphasize one or two fundamental fundamental funda funda- mental principles which may help to impress Im Impress Im- Im press miners with the dignity and Importance Importance Im Im- lm- lm of ot their calling In Iii tho the first the original source of all al wealth Is the tue sort soil oi or the tho earths earth's crust Everything wo eat et drink wear weal or use URe Is supplied d us by our OUI mother earth The earths earth's products products products prod prod- may be he broadly divided Into two branches branchEs vegetable vegetable and mineral mineraI Tho The vegetable kingdom Including animal life le subsisting thereupon Is represented in our government department of ot agriculture ag ture tune I Kin Km firmly convinced that one of or th the wisest and most statesmanlike steps taken by our government nt In tho the l past st quarter century was the tho establishment of ot the department of oC agriculture It I takes years year to got get such a department Into condition con con- diton to lQ the most good but already this thi department has great achie ache to it Its I credit Without anything pat paternal paternal- ral- ral In Its Is plan It has his be before rare it I a scope of or work ork that cannot fall fail tal to grow Into helpfulness to the entire nation naton Mineral Kingdom Important I 1 contend that the mineral ral kingdom Is entitled to similar representation in our government So and that a department of mines and mining would primarily benefit o tIme the mining Industry and und thereby horob a as an Inevitable consequence prove plo e a good goo thing thin for tor tho the nation naton As a 1 hint of or the help which could bo be expected from Crom a mines department let me mention the splendid work that has ha been done h by tho the United States geological suney tire whose special surveys of or particular mining fields have served cd as aa intelligent guides for tor the tho prospector prospector pros pros- and mine op operator In tho those e dl dil dis- dis Very ery man ninny many of or the tha features s of or mining could ho he hol helped d In a similar manner manner mannor man man- ner nor If I there thare were ere a department specially devoted do to this branch of ot human activity There Thero might bo be experimental stations for mining as well el as BS for tor a agriculture with wih who ho kno knows how s 's great grent advantage to the tho world orld A second point which I 1 want to emphasize em- em em- em I Is th the th importance Importance of or th the mineral minerai Industry lan Many r of or us us ts when we speak of mining think only of gold silver tl or lead zinc Inc and copper mines mine Important as those thos are In iii th themselves do the they not look secondary when v we wa place th them m beside th the tremendous values alues represented b by the pro production of ot Iron coal petroleum brick and other cIa clay products building ston stone and other non non minerals Let us 5 bear In mind that tho the mineral mIneraI Industry I stands stand for tor
