A synopsis of papers and discussions will appear in subsequent editions of "COAI, AND TIMBER," and an official report will be published by the Institute in its regular journal. —Editor. It is impossible to write a report of the Winter Meeting of the Western Pennsylvania Central Mining Institute which would convey to those who were not present at each session a realization of what they missed. It was a successful meeting, as the attendance was representative of all professions and vocations which are included in the membership of the Institute. At no meeting of the Institute have more important papers been read and discussed. An attempt to draw comparisons would be futile. Each paper and each discussion was of vital interest to everyone present, and as the writer was leaving the building he heard one man say: "It is too bad that our meetings are so short. We get together, elect officers, attend to routine business, etc.. and then just when we all become intensely interested in the discussions of subjects upon which we are all seeking information and upon which not only our success but our lives may depend, we have exhausted the specified time and must adjourn. Let us devote a week to the meetings of the Institute, learn all we can and thus obtain the fullest value of each other's study and experience." This suggestion is worthy of consideration. Every paper read at the Winter Meeting was pregnant with advancement in mining and the discussions which followed were worth hours of any interested man's time, and that means more than dollars. The president of the Institute, a sapient man, ripe with experience, alert and progressive, considered each paper and discussion, valuable, important and timely. When the President called the Institute to order Tuesday morning and opened the first session with his address he could not conceal his emotions as he spoke of the deaths during the past year of Selwyn M. Taylor, Henry W. Oliver and W. A. Hogg. Only one of these gentlemen, Mr. Taylor, was a member of the Institute, but all three were enthusiastic supporters of it and the words of Mr. Keighley tell how his own heart mourns the loss of their presence and friendship. Even the committee appointed to draft appropriate resolutions on the deaths of these eminent gentlemen, at a later session requested that each member send a letter to the committee expressing his personal sentiments in order, as it was explained, that the resolutions might more fully express the deep sense of loss which each member felt and which the mining interests of this district had sustained. THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. Members of the Institute and Friends: It is hardly necessary for me to state that I am glad to meet you all again as most of you are friends of many years standing, in fact, some of you I have known from the days of my boyhood. I wish to tender you the compliments of the season and express the hope that we may all meet at our next Summer Meeting. The address of the President at an Institute of this character resembles, to a certain extent, the traditional mince pie— it has to contain a little of everything, and perhaps not much that is of serious weight. There are quite a number of things that come under the notice of a man engaged in mining operations and coke manufacturing during a year, that give him serious thoughts. The general tendency of the present time is to look forward, and no doubt this is a very good thing to do; however, things have occurred during the current year that have led me very seriously to look backward; in fact, I have about come to the conclusion that it would be better for all of us. and certainly very profitable, to look backwards about twice as many times as we look forwards. There are a great many mining superintendents, mine foremen, mining engineers and other mine and coke works officials here present, and I believe that if they will follow my line of thinking they 146957 will likely come to the same conclusions that I have. Without going into this matter of looking backward very deeply, I will single out the professional mining engineer to emphasize my views in this matter. I should like to ask a member of this profession what would become of his fore-sight if he had no back sight? My experience in engineering" has been that all hinged and depended on the back-sight. In the matter of theory and practice, it might be remarked that theory is the back-sight and practice is made the fore-sight. There are other reasons why I should be in this mood of looking backwards. I, personally, am just about scoring the half century mark in my life, consequently I am at a point where I can take a very long and a very interesting look backwards. Again, this month marks a quarter of a century's experience in the mines and at the plants of the Connellsville Region, for it is just 25 years the first of December since I first took a part in the coal mining and coke industry of the Connellsville Coke Region. It is a remarkable and somewhat singular coincidence that the year of my coming into the coke region was the very first year that any attempt was made to make a record of the statistics of one of the greatest industries in the States—perhaps the world. Not that I had anything to do with the matter of statistics, for I have not had any connection therewith. At this date, it seems to be a very strange thing that no one thought it worth while to keep a record or collect statistics of an industry of this magnitude. The fact tbat a record has been kept since 1880 has enabled me to note the great and rapid strides in the developments of the Connellsville Coke Region from 1880 to 1905. According to Mr. E. W. Parker, United States Statistician, whom we all know so well through his many years of diligent and effective work in the compilation of the mining and coke manufacturing statictics of the United States, it appears that in 1880 there were in existence 67
