Following is the form of circular:
A mining convention has been called to
convene at Cheyenne on such day as
may be settled upon. All persons IN
Wyoming and neighboring states and
territories feeling an interest ia the
AarralORnapf of eka -srt,. r
Wyoming are requested and urged to
attend.
The value and extent of these
are just becoming known and will attract
the attention of miners and investors. 1t
is necessary that reliable information
should be obtained aud Published for dis
tribution; exhibits should be prepared
and placed in different localities for the
inspection Of visitors and all others aux
ious for informstion. Legislation for the
encouragement and protection of mining
interests should be secured.
1t is deemed that all this can best be
brought about in the manner suggested.
Representatives from all over this state
and from other states can meet and ex-
change views and discuss such questions
as may be suggested.
The mine owner needing capital will be
afforded better opportunities for receiving
the assistance he desires, and investors
will be enabled to obtain information con-
corning the wonderful resources of the
state.
Persons unable to attend are requested
to present their views and suggestions in
writing. AL communications for the
convention may be addressed to the secre-
tary OF the Cheyennd board of trade,
who will see that they are placed before
the convention.
The meeting will be held during the
time that the legislature of Wyoming will
be in session; this has been deemed ad-
visable for two reasons.
First-Many citizens of Wyoming and
other states will visit the capital during
rtha time of the Legislative session, and
possibly,a larger attendance may thus be
secured.
Second Such additional legislation as
might be deemed necessary could be pre-
sented to the legislature at once for CON
sideration.
Governor Warren and Mayor Riner,
who leave for Omaha this morning,
were requested to look into the question
Of rates and to enlist E. G. Bartlett, of
that place, in the mining convention.
Mr.. Bartlett Is interested in oil in the
center of the state and has realty in
Cheyenne. He knows miners throughout
Wyoming.
Messrs. Coutant, jenkins and Bartlett
were made a promotion committee. Their
work IS to use every effort to attach in
terest to the convention, to correspond
and talk. State GeoloVist Ricketts, will
act with the committee.
Correspondence will at once be opened
