American Mining Congress Will
Advocate Radical Measure
Next Meeting
The governors oT Washington,
Oi'Kgoi), (California,^Alaska, Neva
da, Arizona, Texas,' Oklahoma,
New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Wy
oming:, Idaho, Montana, North
Dakota, South Dakota and Min
nesota and other states will 6e
invited lo deliver addresses and
participate in the discussion of
the public land and utilities ques
tion at the annual meeting of the
American Mining Congress i"
Spokane the last week of Novem
ber. The federal government
probably will be represented by
Waller I.. Fisher, chief of the for
estry department, and other
prominent, olllcials. Arrange
ments are being made for 5,000
delegates and visitors from var
ious parts of this continent.
Frank II. Culbertson, chairman
of the mining committee of the
Spokane chamber of commerce,
which, assisted by the Spokane
Mining Men's club, was instru
mental in inducing the congress
to meet in Spokane next fall,
looks upon the public land ques
tion as the most important mat
ter that could come before the
people at the time.
"There are other questions of
importance to be discussed/' said
li. K. Armstrong, president of the
Spokane Mining Men's club, "and
as now planned every one will'
have a hearing. We expect to
make a congress that will be rep
resentative of all interests in the
broadest sense «»f the lerin and
we look for much good lo follow.
"One of the movements already
under way is to demand payment
in gold or silver coin when checks
are cashed in the banks. We will
not accept paper money. The
Mining Men's club also will re
quest business houses and manu
facturing concerns in this city
and district to pay their employ
es in gold or silver. The West
is purely a hard money country,
though I he government it at
tempting t<» practically demone
tize metal by making the banks
of the country pay the high ex
press rale on the silver and gold
coined in our mints.M
