One of the results of the work of the census will be the publication of a volume which will be the highest authority on the subject and will be widely dis tributed. It offers an excellent opportuni ty for advancing the great mineral resources of the Rockv Mountain region. The general discontent with the resuits of the population census in Denver and elsewhere, shows what the results may be in the mining census if miner* and producers do not interest themselves sufficiently to co-operate and to send in information and schedules to the Rocky Mountain office without being compelled to do so by personal visits from special ugcuts in the field. The territory is so great that it requires time to cover it and as the value of the work will largely depend upon its early publication, anything which Colors loans can do to hasten the completing of the work of the Rocky Mountain region will advance the publication of the book. So many different kinds of mining are just beginning' in the West tnat it is very difficult to keep a correct list of all sorts of mines up to date aud this is where great assistance can be given. If the census of ficials know that mining is beiug done and know the names and addresses of miners or operators, they can then communicate with these operators directly, securing the needed information. The Rocky Moun tain office furnishes memorandum blanks, on which these names und addresses can be given: and invites mine owners und Operators to send for them. They will be furnished with return envelopes which require no postrgc upon addressing F. F. Chisolm, speciul agent. Rooms 10 aud 11 Gettysburg Building, Denver.The Prison Congress.St. PETElhsurui;.
