THE DENVER EXPOSITION.
What the old Wan Of Casa De Gra nde has
 nef Of Interest tO AriKOnans.


 The old man of Casa De Grande, as-
 suming that you and a generous public
 would be pleased with graphic de
 scription of the Exposition and its do
 ings, has unlocked the hinges of hi
 note book, and grasping the pencil witt
 an air of self reliance, now proceed:
 scribe, scribere, scripsi, scriptum, tC
 to take in the Exposition from top tc
 bottom. The building k a very large | and substantial one; the exhibits are
 numerous and likewise substantial; | great big wheels of heavy and easy moving machinery are continually in
 motion; model engines for mining and pumping purposes also play a conspic- uous part: brick making machine vf | thirty thousand per day capacity claims | the attention O. pEsser5 by. In one | corner can be seen mining tramway, an ingenious invention wherein, by q | system of wheels, the ore bucket receives | a load of ore and IS conveyed to the
 dumping point, dumps the ore and con- | tinues, unaided by human help, to its | original starting place, where It imme- | diatelv receives another load without | stopping and continues its journey, &C., complishing a vast amount of work, and l covering an incredible number of miles
 during a day. Alongside of this ma- chine and attached to the same motive power, is to be seen an autophone which
 mechanically plays three hundred tunes,
 more or less, thus combining work and
 pleasure in one halo of melody. A new mining hand drill attracts the miners attention. If durable as the exhibitor claims 1t to be, the invention will be of extreme value and aid to the Arizona miner. It is placed on a tripod; by the working of lever an uI and down stroke of the hammer IS given, the drill turning mechanically, at each blow performing wonderful execution. Pumping machinery of all kinds are on exhibit, also in practical use, supplying the needs of the building and grounds. The displays of all kinds are abundant, substantial and worthy of the highest remarks of approval. The ore exhibit would make many 2 hun dred thousand dollar prOspector take back seat. We have mountains of it here and 1t Is called by every name known in the vocabulary of metallurgy, The commissioners from the different counties, States and Territories are a pleasant. sociable and able body of men. The public press have treated them with marked courtesy and extended deal of information which k truly valuable and most duly appreciated. The Silver King exhibit occupies a conspicuous corner under the head of Arizona. It daily at- tracts large crowds who freely express themselves in words of expressive sur prise "Is that not beautiful?" "Is 1t not wonderful?" The King has not made any demonstrative effort to out shine; its plain and simple manner of placing upon exhibit the real product of its resources unencumbered by tags of enormous assays has gained for it thou sands of friends and caused 1t to be re- ferred to as the standard of quotation for Arizona The Oll Patriarch of the hills of Gibraltar can be seen from time to time striding across the great cor riders on his way to newspaper TOW in company with the giant intellecturists such as Sye, the Laraminian, the Hawk ish Burlngtonian, the Twainite Twain and another noted Michigander, also Brown, ot the Denver Tribune, and Loveland, of the News. The apartments of the newspapers in the exposition building are arranged in a style the most elegant and with surroundings the most comfortable. Many prominent men an- nounce their intention of visiting Ari- zOna after September Both.
 The great Exposition building at Denver, with its towers from which float flags of many nations, and into whose mt str of mauity, as sight se-rs and information gatherers, gives to the rising metropolis of the West boom that places her be- yond her greatest expectations. In one wing of the exposition building are dis played the ore collections from Cobra do and other States and Territo- 1 ries, displayed Tn pyramids, some in costly show cases, and all worthy l of the most meritorlOus praise. | The King of Arizona proves to be a l lodestone around which magnetized | multitude gather day after day. The | mineral display IS superb, arranged iD | a thousand different ways, from a little | hill to a mamothlcal mountain, the tray | eler never wearies of examining them, l and his trip made more entertaining by | the suave and gentlemanly manners of as nice and intelligent body of repre- sentative commissioners as ever assem- bled under roof of an exposition build- | ing. All manner of exhibits are here, | ancient curiOsities backed by pages of | history, more modern curiosities signifi- cant of proof of their presence. An ele- vatOr takes visitors to the highest parts | of the building. where an excellent view of Denver can be obtained. X band of | music IS in constant attendance, and | upon certain nights the building is lighted with electric lights. The Denver and Rio Grande have specimen engines on exhibit. The A. T. * $. r. hkewlse have a most excellent showing of all the products along the line of their road arranged in conspicuous part of the building; ditto the U. r. R. R., Wy oming, Nebraska, all bring symbols of their greatness, and all are proportion ately admired Nevada so far makes poor showing. Let the Arizona miner astride his burro look forward to the good day coming. This exposition will result in great good to AriZOn.

The | QUITO was tied to palo verde and the | blankets were rotten. The remains are doubtless those of an unfortunate pros pector who got lost and perished for want of water, or was bitten by some | poisonous reptile.
