 According to the foregoing ar engagement, the entire mineral col lection of Arizona, now at St. 1 Louis, will be given conspicuous space at the exhibition, be un- packed and displayed to the best advantage, free of cost to the ter ritory, and the privilege is accord ed to territoral representatives to add to and improve the collection, and to represent the same in per son if they so desire. When it is considered that the collection com poses nearly ten tons of min erals, exhibition cases and appur- tenances, which will be displayed eonspicuously and permanently, without cost to the territory, with the privilege of improving and adding to the exhibit, it will be seen that at least fair contract was entered into. I have no per sonal intest in the matter beyond my individual desire for the vel fare and progress of the mining industry, and l publish this letter simply because I believe the exact i status of our mineral collection should be known and thoroughly understood by the public and by mining interests especially.
 And in this connection, I wish to add that I believe good oppor- tunity is now sffordeded to add to and improve the exhibit at St. Louis, at little or no cost. MT. J. H. Johnson, the secretary of the Exhibition, will extend every facility in his power to improve the collection, and will give his personal supervision to its display; he has assured me of this yer bally and by letter. and he do- serves the thanks of our citizens for his kindness and courteous in- terest. Any packages of ore or specimens addressed to him as secretary of the Exposition will be cared for, exhibited and prol erly credited. learn from him that Colorado, Wyoming and Mon fapo aro fot,prs cfonc tO procopt
