Rolla, Missouri Denver, Colorado Harrison, Arkansas CHAIRMAN BUCKLEY: I know we shall all be pleased to hear from the gentleman who has crystalized the thought which has been embodied in the technologic branch of the United States Geological Survey. I take pleasure in introducing to you Dr. J. A. Holmes. (Applause.) Mr. Holmes' address will be found on page 98, Part II., of this report. SECRETARY CALLBREATH: Certificates for return railroad fare at a reduced rate will be received now, and the representatives of the railroad companies are here ready to pass upon such certificates as may be presented. I fear greatly that this will not be of avail because of the fact that many delegates failed to get the certificates when purchasing tickets, but if there are a sufficient number the reduced return fare will be granted; 100 in the Trunk Line territory, 1,000 in the Central Passenger Association territory. The Central Passenger Association includes the territory between here and Chicago; the Trunk Line territory eastward to New York. Those of you who have certificates will kindly file them at once, and we will endeavor to make it possible for you to get a return ticket at the reduced rate. PRESIDENT RICHARDS: The question on the program for discussion this morning is "The Duties of the Federal and State Governments in Relation to the Mining Industry." We are fortunate in having with us Congressman W. F. Englebright, of Nevada City, California, who will lead in that discussion. Congressman Englebright's paper will be found on page 255, Part II., of this report. PRESIDENT RICHARDS: The next gentleman to take part in leading this discussion is Mr. George H. Harrison, Chief Inspector of Mines, Columbus, Ohio. MR. GEORGE H. HARRISON, OF OHIO: Mr. Chairman, Members of the Congress and Visitors: Since receiving an invitation to attend and take part in this Congress my time has been almost exclusively occupied in connection with a commission appointed by the Governor of our state to revise and remodel the mining laws of the state, and to suggest such new laws and bills as in our minds needed enactment into law. Consequently, I have not had much time to go deeply into the mafters that I think would interest the members of this assembly. Mine inspectors as you know have to be very careful indeed of what they say; and they have to be still more careful about what they do not say. In order that there may be no misconstruction of anything that may be said, I deemed it necessary to note down a few of what I think are important matters to be taken into consideration in the advisability of state and federal co-operation in connection with the government of mines. With the exception of one instance I have not gone into details, but I feel that with reference to a great many questions all that is necessary for people to understand is the injury or the benefit that may be derived from those subjects. Mr. Harrison's address will be found on page 57, Part II., of this report. Secretary Callbreath read Resolution No. 16, as follows: Resolution No. 16. (By William Benton, of Wyoming.) Resolved, That the American Mining Congress in convention assembled, petition the Congress of the United States, to pass a law transferring the public lands in the several states to the several states wherein such lands are situated, to be disposed of to citizens in a similar manner to the school lands in these respective states; thereby abolishing the abuses growing out of the present management of these lands under the present Forest Reserve and other laws. MR. JOHN ROSS, CHIEF MINE INSPECTOR, WEST VIRGINIA: I would like to have the privilege of about five minutes to explain some of the conditions in regard to the State of West Virginia. |
