Santa &c is Just 4 little Proud Of the
part she has taken III making The terri
torial fair q success. II is conceded that
| our display OF fruit is ahead Of every conf
peitor, while the grand display Of min
eral from San Pedro coal and coke from
Cerrillos; corn, millet, squashcs anti
other vegetables from Chilli, combines
to make showing for Santa Fe county
that LAYS over everything in New Mexico
outside OF Bernalillo county itself, wherein
the fair Is held.
As for the exhibit OF fruits from Santa
Fe, not ten lines commendatory of it
have appeared in the Albuquerque press,
but TIE visitors at the fair appreciate it
just the same. The Las Vegas Optic
correspondent, however, refers to it as a
display OF which Santa Fe may well feel
proud. The same paper thinks the
mineral exhibit from Santa Fe county a
grand one that will attract great atten-
ton to our mines.
The san Pedro exhibit represents more
than forty properties and includes huge
chunks of high grade argentiterous ga
lena, copper III all its various and beautl-
full varieties, together with choice pieces
Of the native article, numerous pieces OF
rich silver rock, and lead and gold in
such abundance as to tickle the fancy Of
the genuine miner and mineralogist.
The display by the great Copper company
is immense, and shows the ores in their
raw aud smelted states. One piece from
the reyerberatory furnace contains
gold enough 10 make q good stake
for an Ordinary prospector. A Stag brick
shows the material Of which the copper
rompany's buildings are constructed.
The Lincoln-Lucky display Includes rich
carbonates and boulders OF massive ga.
lena, and specimens OF beautiful stalac-
tiles and stalagmites taken from the ia
nous mineral cave. Thomas Kiddie, ofthe
Copper company; John II. King and A.
Il. Reynolds, OF the Lincoln-LuCky; Alex
Rogers, 7. :. Kline, John Strumquist,
G. I. Clark, Judge Barton and others are
to be accredited with sending down this
fine addition to Santa Fe's show at the
fair.
