THE DENVER EXPOSITION.
A Success as An Ore Exhibit, 1t Has
Failed In It's Main Purpose-Our Fine
Galena Ores Unequaled-Etc.

Galena Ores Unequaled
Commissioned
believe | have said very little in
my letters about the Exposition, be-
cause l have been SO full of this and
that to help along the interests of
Idaho, that my time has been we'll
taken up. Have been here every day
Sundays and all--since arrival, SO
have not had chance to visit any
of the many places of resort and OF
scenic interest which lie in the imme-
date vicinity of Denver.
This Exposition has no claim for
consideration outside of the display of
minerals. 1t was conceived and
brought about for that purpose, and
it has certainly been grand success
in that respect. The display Of min
ing machinery is not what it should be.
Notwithstanding the immense benefits
that will be derived from the exhibit
of ores, by every State and Territory,
the great object, that of reaching the
capital and capitalists of the East,
has not been attained, as was hoped
by the projectors of the Exposition.
But as it is, the benefits of display
here can hardly be estimated.
Nineteen counties Of the State of
Colorado make fine exhibit. They
have spent thousands of dollars in
splendid pagodas which, in many in
stances, detract from the beauty of
their ore exhibit. This is now seen
to be waste of money. The ex-
perlence gained by this enterprise will
add wonderfully to the excellence Of
another exhibit Plain as is Idaho's
pavilion, it is yet more than would be
had at another exhibit. Our display
conveys the idea of greatness rather
than beauty. The fine compact gale
ma ores find no equal in all this mag.
) nihcent showing of ores from ever,
State and Territory west Of the Missouri
| River. The casual observer passes US
by with few glances at the ores
! while all practical miners, mining en-
! gineers, and mining men generally
stop and examine the galena, and ash
e many questions as to it's wonderful
D richness and abundance, and agre,
i that they never before saw such ores
Our exhibit of ores is distinctive, a
J no other exhibit has anything equal t
i our galena. Our Sawtooth ores ar
very similar to the Comstock ores, OF
exhibit, and has often occasioned tn
f remark.
, Yesterday we were honored with
4 call from Mr.. H. f. Miller and Mis-
lynne Young, of Bellevue, en- rout
, to St. Louis; also, Mr.. McGregor, q
/, Haley, who is spending few day
! in Denver doing the Exposition. !
: few days ago Mr.. J. F. Bailey and Nj
c Warren Hussey, of Haley and Bullio,
d called and were well pleased at GU
: exhibit. 1t is conceded that the out
. side States and Territories have re
|. ceived the most benefit as compare
= with Colorado. One loses the identit
of Colorado as a whole in the multi
II tude of county displays.
K To-day closes the Exposition, an
If tomorrow the Commissioners will
!, # busy packing their ores-most I
,r which will be removed, while som
will remain in the building. Most
,c the Commissioners, outside of Col
te RADIO, are in favor of holding the ne:
X \, Exposition in Chicago or some 9TH
le Eastern city, where the people of Il
n East can attend. B.
