fer the encouragement tn in-migra-
 iion and the attraction of capital tc aid in the development aad increase | Of our industries, ann this one being not only inter~4 tate, bnt inter- nation- al, opportunity will be afforded for exhibition of our resources to the people Of all nati0rs. We hope that immediate and active measures will be taken by the people of all sections of the T. rritory to collect such min tral samples and specimens as will do credit to the locality from whence they come an to Arizona, also exe hibits of such industries other than mining, as i may be desired to have presented.
 o her Territories aud States, in which mining is a principal or ms portQut indus try, are preparing 10 present their production in the most favorable light and Arizona must be secoad to none. At Denver and Chi> cago last year, the exhibit of this Territory was recognized as thr finest and a'tIacied thousands of ob~ servant visitors, many of whom have since visited ana beccme Interestc d ia developing our mineral wealth, and many more will come tue pres ent ecasor.
 There is no reason why Arizona cannot have the finest mineral ex- hibit at New Orleans, and the Conn miss!oners will devote their time and energy, and will do everything in their power to accomplish the best results. Preliminary arrange ments aIe already being made, suit~ able space has been secured and nothing will be left undone to make q full, creIitable and impartial rep- resen ntation of every locality and S, c, ton of he Territory.
 I IS intended that 2 "Headquar- tcrs' fer Arizona wifi be established in New Orleans, for the purpose of entertaining visitors from the Terri tory. during the Fair, and extending such courtesies as the Commission CTS my have in their power. When 1t is understood th3.t no provision has been made ty the Territory fer the xptnse of ihis representation and hat the Commissioners will proba- ply have 10 depend largely upon the libcrallty of private subscrip> tion for their ac ual expenses, the people can scarcely do less than CO., operate in the collcclion of a fine ex- hiblt. If 7ery large expense is neoessitated in any locality in pres pairing collections, t is probable that the Legislature will appropri> ate to reimburse that locality or tue individuals who incur the expense.
