The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1882-06-10

A Few Facts Montanians Should
Consider.

DENVER, Colo, June 6, 1882.
1t is now definitely known that be-
sides the mineral productions Of Color
ado the mining exposition will contain
ores. and agricultural products from
New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, California,
Idaho, Wyoming, Dakota and from
States east Of the Mississippi river.
Little has been heard from Nevada and
nothing from Montana. Is it possible
that those who are most deeply interest
ed In the prosperity Of that Territory
can AFFORD 10 let the great opportunity
pass, and take no part with the others
In this grand movement to display the
resources OF our mountain regions to the
Thousands who will be with % in Au-
gust and September: The expedition
has been widely advertised from the At
1antic to the Pacific. 1t sgenerally
understood that It will show where real
mines exist. It h looked to % the 0lst
grand effort made BY those interested to
remove Ill fhlse impressions and give q
correct indication Of what distriots can
be classed - true mineral producers and
what - mere prospect holes. Al such
IN exponent, Governor Pitkin, Of COL
orado. gives It his hearty endorsement
and approval. Governor Sheldon, Of
New Mexico, not only urges the citi-
sens Of that Territory to present . full
display, but takes the field in person to
help them. Governor TITLE, OF Ariso-
ma, calls upon the people Of that Terri
tory to zee to 1t that they have . full
representation. Governor Hoyt, Of
Wyoming does likewise, and Is moving
energetically.
None Of these movements expect
State or Territorial money to be used
for the purpose. Tradesmen do not ask
their municipal governments to pay for
their advertising, why should the miners
do so? Colorado miners are paying
their own bills, and the Exposition
building and grounds valued at up
wards of 500, 600 are being placed in |
shape by the money of Denver's citi-
gens. 1t Is q pure matter of business.
Tor the sole benefit of the mining and |
industrial interests of all tire States and
Territories interested. 1t will advance
he prosperity Of all who partake. This
,ity will get the return from the increas-
I'd development in this State, and Mon
ana will secure its share in proportion
o its representation. II it has no rem.
'esentation it will see its neighbors pros
'er while Its growth remains stationary.
It will see Wyoming draw capital with
u Its borders, attracted by the business
opportunities which it presents, while
dOntana's attractions are declared a
myth. 1t will see new life infused into
he Black Hills, because their attractive-
hers has been demonstrated without a
loubt. 1t will see Arizona's mines prove
o be living reality, regardless of the
took jobbing tricks of mining boards. I
t will see the " 9th Of Utah brought
ut 80 prominently that capital will dow
u t, hasten developement.
1t is only few months since the At
ma Exposition closed its doors and
ct twenty millions Of dollars of north.
IN capital have been since planted
throughout the Southern States. Georxia
be Empire State of the South did not I
ct 1t oil either. It IL distributed fhom
