While the people OF Iowa county must feel CRATE
the onterprisng spirit which they have manifest
cd in having our natural resources web repre-
scented ut the Centennial Exposition. yet have
they great reason TO complain that 50 little has
been done In this direction We have other and
valuable resources of wealth III this county which
ought by right to be represented. Prominent
among these are the dry bone and black jack the
yield of which Is immense in this county. There
Is no good reason why specimens of these valuable
ores should not and cannot be procured and sent
forward 10 Philadelphia. Again, while We are
exhibiting what nature has done for us, let us be
generous enough to show what we have done for
ourselves; and along side with the ore in its crude
form, Let us exhibit the pure metal extracted
thercfrom. How little expense would be attached
thereto. and how easily might the shelters Of the
county send specimen of their particular branch
of manufacture. They might have an appropriate
artistic cmblernatic mold. the casting of which
would not only represent their industry, but also
rtfract the esthetic eye. For example. "a lcaden
group might be cast from the patterns Of the Arms

partner for the miner opposite These remarks
ore merely thrown out as suggestions to those
more Immediately acquainted with the business,
mud not az n plan or design. We hope that the
remarks however will awaken an interest In this
direction, so tifat those who may chance 10 go to
the Centennial Exhibition from this county may
not be mortified and chagrined 30 find the county
Of Iowa represented by single chunk Of lead ore
