We subOin an interesting circular, which we
have Just received II s will be seen addressed By
the Association for the Exhibition Of the Industry OF all
Nations the mine propretors and mealurgsts this
country, calling upon them to render their assistance
in forming the nucleus of an institution similar TO the
Museum of Economic Geology in England, and the
Mining Schools Of rance II must be obvious every
one that in country teeming like ours, with mineral
formations such institution would be OF the
benefit To the student Of mining and geology school
in which theory ls illustrated by practice would prove
of inestmsbe value and ct him more perfectly for the
duties Of his future profession European nations have
already turned their attention to this France and
Germany possess admirable mining schools, in which
youths are thoroughly and practically fitted for their
subsequent duties. England has an ample and al
mirable school Of Economic Geology which il always
crowded with students. Such institutions wanted
here and the present opportunity is one that should be
seized It will be from the circular itself that
every care will be taken of any specimens forwarded
for exhibition which trust Tor tie sake Of science,
will be permanent

II is the wish of this Association in furtherance OF
the general desire already in many ways expressed by
them render their Exhibition not display of
various and attractive objects but practically useful and
conducive to the progress OF the Nation 10 receive
within their building fun representation OF the varied
and extensive Mineral resources of the United States II
hoped that the PropretOrs of Mines and Metaurgsts
will appreciate the value and importance OF such col
lection of Ores and Minerals to civilization and the pros
periy Of the country and that they will respond TO BY
sending numerous and appropriate specimens IN order
that ihis department Of the Exhibition may sTy eNhbt
the present state or advancement OF the Mining and
Alta ma NJ
Of this kind in connection with the various metals and
manufactured products from different and distant sec
tons OF the country that just comparisons OF excellence
in the manufacture OF such metals can be made.
Our vast Mineral resources and the rreseu. advanced
condition OF Chemistry, and It's application 70 ne,aLgy
and the rs demand that there resources be adequately
Represented Europe Is not without collections OF TINS
kind: the Mining schools of France and Germany, with
their extensive and increasing collections exert no small
influence the prosperity OF those countries the re
cent estabshm,n Of the Museum OF Economic Geolo-
" and Government School OF Mines IN England, has
already been productive OF great benefit; and should
this Association be instrumental in procuring mineral
ocica and metaurgical specimens THAI would form the
