Excerpt from Monthly Bulletin
Delegates returning from the Annual Session at Los Angeles report that gathering as the most important and profitable ever held by the Mining Congress, and the attendance most representative. The widespread interest shown, the valuable discussions brought out, and the vigorous yet sane manner in which vital questions were attacked, indicate an intensified concern about the questions, political and otherwise, which envelope the mining industry. Conservation, implying a great variety of features, such as disposition of the remaining mineral lands, water power sites, timber reserves, rights of prospectors and miners, state's rights, the leasing system, use of timber in mining, classification of mineral lands, etc., was one of the main questions, and was handled by many prominent minds. This broad doctrine now has many points, of contact with the mining industry, and is becoming so important that mining men generally are recognizing the necessity of working to protect their mutual interests.
