A variety of cir- cumstances tend to make the comiug ssssion the Jargest and® most influential yet heid. Delegations will be present from all miniog states, and united action will be had on ques- tions bearing on the mining industry. The slump in the price of silver bullion has de- moralized many bitherto profitable mining districts. A great number of mines yielaing low grade ore, which, with average prices, would yield a fair return on the iovestment, have veen forced to suspend or curtail exe penses to a minimum. Silver clubs are multivlving thro hout tho mining states. Where formerly political clubs fourished, they iow oreavized for the singie pur- pose of toosting silver. Colorado has over firty such clu daho has twenty-four and Nevads un equal number. Siiver clubs flourish in the mining camps of Utab, Mon- tana, Wyoming and Caiif in.

Smith’s chinf notoriety was achleved dur- ing the Mormon war in 1857, when the Uuni- tea S forces, 3,000 strong, were march- ing to Utab. Lot Smith, with his gang, was detailed to annoy and rob the army on its march.
