Excerpt from Monthly Bulletin, Vol. 13: July, 1910 At each annual session of the American Mining Congress the principal part of its work for the ensuing year is outlined by reso lutions adopted by vote of the delegates. The performance of this work Calls for the appointment of a number of standing committees, the members of which are all selected with the idea of securing those best qualified to serve. These committees prosecute their work between sessions and render reports of their transactions or conclusions at the first ensue ing annual session. As a means of facilitating their work the Monthly Bulletin is designed to serve as a medium for the presenta tion of ideas from the membership generally upon topics in which particular interest is felt. The columns of the Bulletin are Open to the committees and the membership for the discussion of any subject relating to mining, and all communications from members should be sent to the Secretary of the Mining Congress, who will direct same to the proper committee in case they are not intended for publication.
