Mining Congress Facing “Big Problems in Industry = » Sept. 25— (By The Associated Press)—The min- ing industry in the United Btates hag two great problems to face— ‘the waste of assets and the alarm- ‘ing and increased rate at which minerals have been extracted in the last gensration was the declara- tion made today by Sidney J. Jen- nings, New York, president of the American Mining Congress in ean address reviewing the work of the congress, in twenty sixth annual convention here today, Mine deposits, the speaker said, have limits and when these are ex- hausted no new ones come to take their place. Regarding the rate at which min- erals are now produced, Mr. Jen- nings stated, it will be necessary in the future for leaders in the indus- economical methods of extraction of production, convert that which ts now wasted material into ore, thus prolonging the life of these de Posits as far as possible. The outstanding difficulty of the mining industry, the speaker added is the proper adjustment of the relation of employer and employe. He said so far as metal mining and production Were conéérned, this re- lationship has, during the last year been reasonably satisfactary to both parties, Market Gossip and Briefs.

Haskell only last November,” sald Mr. Lake, m discussing the history of the pro- ‘ oct this morning. “In January I made # reconnais- ance of the country between Miles Clty, Mont. and Casper, I deliver e4 my report to Mr. Haskell in Feb- ruary and in March we had engi- neers surveying the proposed line. ‘The contract for the entire line was let February 15 and the first dirt ‘was moved April 2 at Miler City. “No actual construction work was possible until the latter part of May due to the climatic conditions. In less than four months we have built the road from Illco to Salt Creek. “The construction work between Balt Creek and Miles City is being eagerly prosecuted. The road will be in from the townsite of Tllco into the Midwest Home camp at Salt Creek by October 10 and all the way to Miles City by September 1, 1924, “The North & South rafiroad has ® 26 year contract with the C. & N.

When completed in its entirety {t will constitute the only direct north and south line be tween Omaha on the east and Poca- tello on the west covering a terri- tory of approximately 1,200 miles.. “In addition to forming a medium of interchange with the C. & N, W. and the C. B. @ Q., with which con- nections are made at Il!co it will also connect directly with the C. M. & 8. P. and the North Pacific at Miles City. “It will serve as @ means of de- velopment for a vast area of natural Tesources, situated between great eastern and western trunk lnes, which without rail transportation ‘Would continue to lie dormant, “It will serve as a means of intl. mate touch and communication be- tween various communities in Wyo- ming and Montana which at present ean only be reached by circuitous routes, excessive time and money. “An agency has been installed at Salt Creek and a joint agency at Illeo, We are putting in an en- gine house and a Y at Illco, we have our telegraph line up for one and a half miles, We will put in a ter- minal freight yard at Salt Creek that will have a capacity of 1,000 cars. ‘The offtcials of the North & South railroad are Joseph Haskell, son of Charles president; C.

Superintendent Worthman of the ©. & N. Ws in speaking of the road “It is @ revelation to me and in much better condition than I would haye thought possible. It looks like a trunk line.’ The schedule of the service be- tween Casper and Salt Creek is con- Alned {n the following letter read by i. B. Durham, president of the Cas- per Chamber of Commerce, at to- day's meeting: “Dear Mr. President. “As the latest member of the Casper Chamber of Comm it is peculiarly gratifying to have as my first duty the privilege of reporting bs the completion of the Wyoming North & South raflroad, Iico to Salt Creek at 4 p. m. Monday, and to advise that the line is now open for traffic. For the present, or until publio requirements are more definitely determined, service will consist of m daily mixed train, leav- ing Illeo 8 a. m., after connecting with the Chicago & Northwestern train No, 41, due to leave Casper 7 @, m., and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy train No, 29, due to leave Casper 7:20 a, m. arriving Salt Creek 9:50 a, m.; returning, leaving Salt Creek 1 p. mu, connecting at Tico with the Chicago & North- western train No. 606, arriving Cas- per 8:40 p. m, and in addition such extra service as may be necessary to expeditiously move traffic. “As the representative of the Wyoming North & South Railroad, and a member of your honorable body I desire to commend it to our patrons as ® roed of most substan- Mal construction. Its rails and bridges being of sufficient strength to accommodate the heaviest power and lading moved. The manage- ment hereby cheerfully acknowledg- es itself as a public servant. It will be its policy to fully meet the public needs, It’s principal offices are located in the Consolidated Roy- alties building, Casper, and its of- ficers will pe glad to co-operate with the public and be receptive to its suggestions. “When the first class condition of the Jine fs noted and considera- tion is given to the topography of the territory traversed, the unfav- orable weather conditions prevailing, the distance involyed in obtaining necessary materials for construction, labor conditions, etc., we trust we will not be regarded in the least im- modest in acclaiming its construc- tion within the brief period of four months, as a real achievement, and one impossible of accomplishing ex- cept by a man possessing the vis- fon, courage and sincerity of pur- pose of Charles N, Haskell, to whom all credit is due. Construction north cf Salt Creek is progressing vigorously and we will be operating trains between Casper, Wyoming, end Miles City, Montana, on or be- fore September 1, 1924. “We are here to help Casper, the territory we traverse, and ourselves. We solicit your inspection, criticism and continued support, which we would feel extremely remiss in fatfl- ing to acknowledge. “Yours very truly, “C. 8.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25—Official an- nouncement that Germany's passive resistance was ended brought about @ material riso in wheat values today during the early deal- ings. Considerable selling developed on the advance, Upturns, however, were well maintained. The opening, which varied from Yo decline to an equal gain, with December $1.04% to $1.04%, and May $1.09% to $1.10, was folowed by an ascent all around to well above yesterday's finish. Subsequently, after December had virtually recorded all the loss occa- sioned by recent big Canadian crop estimates, something of a set back resulted from profit taking sales. Corn continued to show indepen- dent strength and September estab: lished a new high priced record for the season. After opening unchang: @d to %o higher, December $.69% to $.70, prices scored a general ad vanoe. Later, the market became some- what easter with wheat.
