FOR CRCATSOIM OF

The Denver Daily Mininy Record
has beyun a crusade for a popular in
dorsement of the Dill in create a de
partment of mini's and mininy in the
federal government, whose head shall
he a cabinet officer, introduced in the
House by Congressman Van Du/.er of
Nevada.
The Mininy Record proposes to secure
signatures to a petition to Con
yress uryiny the enactment of the Dill
into law and to that end has drawn a
blank petition which it asks the news
papers of the mininy states and terri
tories to print and ttrye their readers
to siyn and forward to the Daily Min
iny Record at Denver to he compiled
and sent to Washington.
Contrastiny the recoynition yiven to
other forms of national industry which
h;;v< cabinet portfolios with that^ac
eorii e to the minin/ world the Record
says:
•*Th‘ minin'/industry, on tin* other

"This is a question that many are*
askiny, and it is heiny asked very em
phatically at the present time by the
American Mininy Conyress. ('onyresx
uian Van Dozer undoubtedly asked
himself the question when he intro
duced a hill in the House of Repre
sentatives to provide for J he creation
of such a department."
Followiny is a copy of the petition
for the enactment of the Van Du/.i rDill
which persons interested are requested
