AS IT LOOKS TO ARIZONA
OUTSIDE OF THE INTRODUCTORY paragraph in which
California is charged with talking more about her mining than
doing it, the balance of the following editorial which is re.
printed versatim sas the May 15th issue of the Phoenix Mining Journal has much to commend it to thoughtful readers
lk shaw what iniquitous legislation and hard boiled i insurance .
rating bureaus can do to an industry and yet in spite of this .
handicap California gold mining is slowly coming back and
the new state mining association is going to turn the trick-and '
lift the compensation insurance yoke from the necks of the
operators. Read what Editor Willis has to say:
DRIFTS AND CROSSCUTS
‘There is more mining’ talk here, . believe,’ than any other
spot in the whole world—and less mining.” This is the way
on of our subscribers characterized California mining at the
present time. It is‘not to be inferred that California does not
have mining opportunities, it has plenty of them, it is a state
rich in minefal wealth. It must not be thought that capital is
lacking for mine development, there is plenty of it, but capital :
is seeking the states where it is. nae opportunity to do business a and a a chance to make a profit.
For many years California has keen burdened with an “‘Industrial Accident Commission,’’ one\of the many commissions
Atoisted on it by a former governor. The Accident Commission
gave rise to the State Compensation Insurance Fund which, it
it is stated, has served as a “harbor of refuge for politicians .
to end their derelicts and small craft,’’ and. every few months
there appears a new volume of rules and regulations which
tend to make mining more impossible. One of the California .
mines showed on its annual report that during 1928-1929 its
industrial accident insurance cost-53-cents per ton of ore:
mined. Some cost! The rate on all people employed in mines
is $9.42.
California has a real problem in developing its mining. If .
you are big enough to carry your.own insurance you can
probably get the cost down to that of other California mines
which are self-insuring, about $3.00. But it now looks as
though the small mines might have their chance to better their
insurance condition.
The insurance committee of the Mining Association of
California, with headquarters at Sacramento, has been studying
this problem for many months, held many meetings,, secured
the views of countlss mine operators, corresponded with every
other state and, with the approval of the California Insurance
Commissioner, has worked out a plan of mutual insurance !
’ primarily for small operators.
It-is to be hoped that the efforts of the Mining Association
of California will be successful and that they will interest
enough of the mine operators to create a volume of businss
that will make it possible to handle economically. They should
be able to reduce insurance rates one-half or more than is being
done elsewhere.
It is a crime to permit the magnificent mining resources
of California to go by the board simply because those who are
most interested hesitate about working together for mutual
benefit. If there is any state in the union that needs a strongly
organized and liberally patronized mining association, it is
California: Insurance is but one of their problems although
it is probably the most costly one.
The Mining Association of California has 500 members,
it should have 5000, and it will have 5000 when the people
of the state, who are directly and indirectly interested in mining progress, awaken to the fact that the opportunity is there
but it is not being grasped. California ordinarily overlooks but
few bets in promoting and developing itself, but here is one
that needs attention—right now.
THE RECORD OF GOLD MINING in California will
stand up with the output of our neighboring states for the
past eighty years and present day production is well worth
considering. As to whether Nevada County is. merely blowing
off steam when it talks of mining activity it is well to remind
the friend of the Arizona Editor that this county alone has
consistently produced an avrage well in excess of two
millions yearly almost entirely from quartz and this has gone
on vear in and out. If this be merely talk, consult the records.
California mining has suffered grievously from the unjust
burdens placed upon it by supine legislators. For this the industry itself is very largely to blamie because it refused to organize and present a solid front to fight our battles. The new
organization is fast gaining batting strength and that is what
will cause politicians to be a little wary of. further encumbering it. Instead of being merely an organizatidn to interest a
few of the large operators the association has consistently catered to the smaller operators, even down to the prospctors,
as it is on these.that the future production must: rest. If you
havn't contributed your mite to boost the cause, get busy today
and sign up’and swell the ranks. Our local chapter is already
