The Mining Industry of California, exclusive of petroleum, gives to the State $80,000,000 a year of new money. It includes some 2000 major producing units, besides many small operators and gives employment to thousands of men. The industry has been handicapped by rising costs and hampering legislation, which it has not been able to combat because it has been RE i Ee a Re aR (d = unorganized. The Mining Association of California was organized = and incorporated for the express purpose of giving the many indi= viduals and companies engaged in the metallic and non-metallic indus= tries a strong association which will represent the entire industry. The organization was brought into existence through the leadership of the mining men of Siskiyou, Shasta and Trinity counties who had their own local organization, and a group of public spirited men of Sacramento, interested in mining directly and indirectly. The initial meeting held at Sacramento in September, 1929, demonstrated that the members of the industry were awake to the need of organization. The Association is well on the way toward its first thousand members, recruited almost entirely from Kern county northward and with the organization of the southern portion of the state completed will give a wonderfully balanced organization. There are five major activities as follows: Compensation Insurance, Legislative, Publicity, Educational and Co-operation. The new mutual company to be formed among mining operators exclusively will form the first outlet toward decreasing the present cost of compensation insurance to a marked degree. The 100 members necessary to secure a state charter are nearly completed. The legislative function will be an important one in that previously the mining industry was at the whim of every biennial legislature with no effective method of fighting vicious legislation. These two activities alone will justify the existence of a state organization enlisted to put the mining in a strong position and where it can effectively defend its rights. Individual memberships cost but $5 annually. Others $10 to $25. The counties of Nevada, Sierra, Yuba and Placer have been grouped into one Chapter which now numbers approximately 120 members. Other chapters are being formed in mining districts. Any person having the interest of the mining industry at heart should take a membership and make it possible for the association to function effectively in behalf of the industry.
