Since our last issue, the much talked of cabinet of minerals, owned by Prof. c. R. wores of Tucson, has been placed on exhibition, in fins case ten by twen- ty feet in size, in the Arizona depart ment of the Exposition, and commands great attention.
 This cabinet is, without doubt, the best representative collection of mluer- sls ever yet displayed from the Territory, | which taken together with the exhibit | already made certainly makes Arizona's collection complete. It shows the beautiful copper ores from the famous Copper Queen, Copper Prince, United Verde, Omega, Longfei-
 low and other copper mines of a Nstion-
 al as we'll as & Territorial reputation.
 Here are also represented the great
 silver mines of Tombstone, the Silver
 King, of Pinsl county, and the no less
 famous mines of Gils county, where
 about the first great silver mines of note in the Territory were discovered, namely the famous Stonewall Jackson and its
 neighbors.
 We saw in San Francisco n 1877 four thousand pounds of ore from the Stone
 wall mine, sold at the uniform price of one dollar per ounce, or at the rate Of
 thirty-two thousand dollars 8 ton, aud
 the gold contained in the ore not taken
 into account.
 In addition 70 the representation from older mines of the Territory, there are
 .n this collection samples from all the , lately discovered mines of any proml- hence, from every district in the Teril- tory, and for many of which We predict ! notoriety ID the near future.
 The collection embraces several thou-
 sand specimens, catalogued and num-
 bored, with scientific m ~oL as nnnAnAo n ] terms given, and for college, museum
 or collectors possession must recon : mend itself. The intrinsic value will , approximate several thousand dollars. While representing the Territory ID
 general, in this cabinet can be found !, ore from nearly every mine m Pima !. county. which certainly speaks well for ], the mining interest in that section, and reflects great credit or NIT.
