 We call attention to the letter on the first page from the secre- tary of the St. Louis exposition The letter itself is self-explanitory, and we would urge upon our mine-owners the very evident bene- fits to be derived from showing of our gold, silver and copper ores. The same inducements held out to the Globe district are held out to this vicinity. There can be no better advertisement than an ex- hibit of our wonderfully rich gold, silver and copper ores. Therefore, send in your specimens and ad- vertise your mines. We can hold our own with any district in the territory.
