able information regarding Utah
anu her resource, as Is possible. In
order that there may be no failure
in this respect, the Salt Lake
Chamber Of Commerce has been re-
quested by Mr.. p. II. Lannan
Worlds Fair Commissioner fnr
Utah, to procure, in the best possi.
ole form, all Of the information
which can be obtained concerning
Utah, her mineral resources AMI
possibilities, as well as her agricul-
turai advantages. Although this
committee Is, ostensibly, only a
mining committee, its impressions
on other subjects pertaining 10
Utah and her wants will prevail
with the general committees.
Ii Is therefore imperative that
every person 10 Utah exert himself
immediately and energetically, to
assist in making a proper showing
before this committee. The Salt
Lake Chamber OF Commence has.
therefore, this just request to make
OF all mines, pruNpect-, quarries, and
owners OF other mineral deposits in
Utah Territory, TO Immediately de-
liver 10 the Salt Lake Chamber of
Commerce such samples Of their
ores, or other products, as will
properly represent their properties.
These samples must be accompanied
by statement, giving the location,
the extent, the value and such
other informStion as they may be
able TO give. These specimens will
be properly classified in the Cham
her of Commerce and all of the in
formation placed az the disposal of
this mining committee. This Will
require considerable trouble and
expense on the part of the
Chamber of Commerce. and 1t is
understood that this Organization |
will not be able to bear the additional |
expense Of paying freight or express
charges on these samples. After this |
committee has examined these ex-
hibits they will be given good, per-
manent positions in the already !
large collection Of Utah's resources |
in the Chamber Of Commerce.
There should lie no delay In this |
matter. The samples and the infor-
nation must be sent in as quickly |
as possible, in order that proper clasi
sificatiOn, by districts and other |
wise, may be made.
We respectfully request that, as
this is a matter in which the whole !
Territory is directly and largely in
terested and as its importance out
ranks any other measure heretofore
attempted for the good Of the Terri |
tory, you will favor this COM
muhication with immediate publica-
tinn and supplement the same by |
an urgent appeal to those in your !
locality interested in this matter,
to at once comply fully with the re-
quests herein contained.
