THE DENVER EXPOSITION.

Weare in receipt of the programme
Of the Sec md Annual National Min.
ing and industrial Exposition which
opens at Denver July 18th and closes
September 3O,h. The one held last
year is regarded az o great success
and it is said the prospects are that
the coming one will attract a much
larger number of exhibitors and visi-
tors than during last season. In the
address accompany ing the pro-
gramme the promoters say:
1.-THE great object of the Denver
Exposition is to establish a mineral
museum containing specimens from
every mine and mining camp in the
contiguous States and Territories.
Special attention and protection will
be given to the care of permanent
exhibits, and mine owners cannot
fail to be impressed with the import
ance Of having specimens easily &C
cessible at all seasons of the year. The
Board of Directors are convinced
that the exhibits left in the building
last year have been of considerable
advantage to the districts represented,
as thousands of visitors have viewed
them since the close of the exposi-
ton, ana many of the mine owners
have experienced the benefit
to be derived by having an intelli-
gent display of the specimens from
their mines in the exposition build
ing. An intelligent and responsible
person, with the requisite number of
assistants, remains in the building
day and night, and permits to visit
the building can be obtained at the
Secretary's Office"
AS to the results which will follow
the Exposition and the prospects of
its drawing a large attendance the
Board of Directors adds:
1.-THE Exposition of 1883 will pre-
sent the most favorable opening dur
ing this generation for demonstrate
ing to capitalists the advantages for
the investment of money in both the
developed and undeveloped country
of the Rocky Mountain region. The
eighty thousand eastern visitors of
last year will have large accessions to
their ranks in the persons of many
who, after listening to a description
of the wonderful development of our
country, and the richness and mag
n%ificence of the display made in
every department at first Exhi-
bitiOn, will throng to witness the
that we r promised in
the display of 1883. The friends
of the exposition will attend in in
creased force; and the me nbers ard
friends attending the reunion of
the Encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic Of the United States, !
which occurs OH the oath of July;
the coDvOcatiOn of the General
Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Ma
sons following on the 14th of August,
and the attendant Sir knights of the
Encampment of knights
on their way to and from
heir meeting, which takes place
n San Francisco, on the 21st of Au-
gust, will call together the wealth
md intelligence of every portion of
country. and their attention will
Ne centered on the Denver exposi-
ion.
As the success of the Exposition
will depend almost entirely upon the
Efforts of mine owners, it is hoped
hey will interest themselves to in
'ure it. The mining men of Mon
ana will doubtless find it to
heir advantage to contribute to
he Exhibition to the extent, at
east, of supplying a generous guam
of samples of their ores for dis
LAY at Denver.
