 Represented.


 The following letter speaks for itself and We commend is suggestions b all the people of Arizona whose means and opportunities enable them to re- spond. The stnck-grower, farmer, teamster, stage-man and mechanic are all interested in the introduction of capitalists and experienced workers of ores, and thorough development of our mines:
 SAN FRANcIsco, September f. 1877.
 EDITOR CITIZEN: Being somewhat largely interested in some valuable mining property in Arizona, it Is but natural that I should seek, with the means at my command, to promote her future welfare and prosperity, both as an agricultural and mineral producing country, but more particularly the lat ter. By reading the following lines, you will be able to judge if what ] propose is worth publishing, say once or twice in your influential paper:
 Mir. 4. Durand, mining engineer, and professor of mineralogy at the Unlyer- sity Of St. Denis, (Loire). who is an old Californian and thoroughly ac- auainled with Arizona, having travelled through it on a scientific expedition in 1867, proposes in a letter to me dated August 16, 1877, to secure a prominent place at the Grand Exposition or Worlds Fair of Paris, France, 10 be he'd in that city during 1878, commenc ing May l, and ther, to exhibit our valuable Arizona minerals of all kinds He will also deliver one or more lee lures on the subject, thus drawing the attention of the scientific world, as well as the capitalists of all nations to the wonderful wealth of ou- mines
 Now, Mr Editor, if any of your Ari- zona miners or mine owners desire to disclose to the outside world the exis tence of Arizona's immense mineral riches, let them select good samples f their ores, pack them carefully with name of owners, mine and district and assay value, when conYenient, and for ward them by mail it will cost one cent per ouncel, addressed to me at AIS Vallejo street, San Francisco. 1 will forward them to my friend, A. Durand. now in Paris, who will assay, properly label and care for them, and secure a prominent place at what will be a truly grand and unique exhibition, at which Europeans can learn some thing about Arizona's hidden treasures. The whole world will be represented there and can learn whether il Is or is not worth their while to invest some of their surplus capital in developing those untold riches. 4 little aiticl, .5 :he point in your paper will doubtless induce many of your miners to en- brace the opportunity now offered of extensively and gratuilously adver'is- ing and representing their resources.
 Millions upon millions of Idle capi- tal in Europe, is seeking profitable in vestment and it may be that this will be the means of bringing the SD much needed capital to your doors. Should any premiums be given, Mr Durand win promptly forward all necessary documents, &c., 10 whom they may be awarded, and make general report at the close of the exhibition.
 Feeling assured that you will CO., operate with me in carrying out this important matter, l am yours respect fully, \. DEERE,
 Secretary Cerro Colorado NJ. and M. Company, AIS Vallejo street, San Fran cisco.
