Printed and pubiiiict ot Nevada City. Arthur A. Willoughby "Elsie P. Willoughby Editor and Publisher Associate 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.
