The weekly Arizona miner., 1873-07-12
Letter from Vienna.

The following letter recently received from Mr C. A. Luke, our Commissioner to the Vienna Worlds Fair, contains much that is interesting. It was written June 1th: .H,. soha 1T Marion.
 DEAR SIR:-I interested myself today in going through the different mineral depart nents; but as there are SD many, and are SO far apart, l can not say that have seen all ; but can say that the mineral wealth is pro portionateiy great with other industries represented. The best selection of ores, and also one of the largest assoEtments, IS from Utah, and was prepared by the different com- panies of that Territory, who have agent, an old German gentleman, to represent them here.
 am almost ashamed to say any thing about the many rich mines of Arizona, as have 90 ! little ore to show-ouly 35 lbs. in all. Had the last Legislature realized the importance ] of making good impression at this Worlds Fair, appropriated at least S2 ,UO0, and made up cabinet of rich ores from each county |, large enough to attract the attention of rnin- 1 ing speculatofs and the world generally Gor there IS not place on the civilized globe that has not its representatives here), the Territory would have been greatly benefited. Had we a cabinet here equal to that of Utah, !. (though we could easily have had one much superior) l would now guarantee that S5,OOO,000 would be expended in the deyel- opment Of our mines next year.
 Were at liberty, for my own individual good, to remain here the whole time of the Exhibition, l would send for at at least 5OC pounds of choice specimens from differen, mines; but, as it is, we must content our selves with what we have.
 learn to-day that the American depart ment will be thrown open to the public next Tuesday, but 1t is far from being finished Some goods to be exhibited have not arrived yet.
 It would be impossible for me to give you an idea of the immense wealth hereof th, great number of rich and rare articles expos ed to public gaze.
 Each exhibitor must fix up his own place and l speak within bounds when say thai the expenses of some exceed Sl0.000
 The people here are all free and sociable The ladies go with their husbands, or lovers to the saloons (Wirtshaft) and drink thei beer, or eat thei- meals, as all the Writshaft, are also eating houses they will also go tt the coffee houses, sit and talk with the men drink their coffee, tea, or chocolate and ca ice cream. All places that furnish meals either hot or cold, all have beer but no eof fee, tea, chocolate nor ice cream; and tn, coffee houses furnish no meals.
 Last Thursday was at the reception O U. $ Minister Jay, who entertained us il real Vienna style - beer, lemonade, cakes cigan and such being plentiful. There wer, a number of Americans present, and som twenty ladies.
 There are some grand places of amusemen here-some SO large that three bands O music are trumping away at one time Be . tween the city and the Exposition building the blast of the trumpet or the hum of tn drum never ceases.
 On fine days the people mostly eat out o doors, in the gardens or on the sidewalks , Every coffee saloon, or Gastwirtchaft, has
 row Of little tables standing fronting tn street, like those of Paris
 l have just received letter from Mn ' Luke, stating that she was going with he father to Ulm, today. She will remain wit her parents two weeks longer, after whic she will join me again.
 hope that will soon receive the MIXER so l will know what is going on at home. ] My best wishes for your health, and kin,
 regard to friends
