FROM CHICAGO.
Chicago, Oct. 8, 1898.

hunted up the smiling face of our
able custodian. James received me
warmly and then continued to ex-
plain our great resources and lack OF
liabilities to several interested people.
As | reached his side he was ex-
planning that "all OF our silver ore is
very rich in gold" jim is working
like beaver and is doing the State
a lot of good. He is on his feet,
jumping from the Agricultural to The
Mineral display from morning until
night. He has not half seen the
rest of the Fair yet and may not see
it at all, He is justly proud of his
State and is creating tine impress
ion with the exhibit collected in 80
days and handicapped for snowy
space. A man came up as L stood
there and asked about some natural
Jim assured him that it was better
soap than sapolia or cashmere bo-
quet; that it exists in great mani
moth ledges(which it really does;)
that it is being extensively mined
and used and that he could 90 to the
testing labratory and shave with
some or wash his hands or bring a
towel and take a bath. The man
rushed off, tickled to death. That's
the way James treats everybody and
they all like him and come again.
He grabbed up lot of rich gold and
silver ores, when the other man was
gone, and went Oh giving an aston

surprised at Jim's technical knowl-
edge of geology and his wide acquain-
tance with the States whole, vast

few moments. He was due at
meeting, of which he was chairman,
and had to rush away y commit

James was down for an opening, ex-
temporaneous speech which he had
not yet extemporized. He was full
of Nevada, said We have beaten The
world on several things and viii beat
il on a few more, made me promise
to go again to the Agricultural build

gone. James has won his praise for
his State and for himself in many
papers here and2on the Pacific coast.
He deserves it all.
The Mining building is of great
size and of equally great interest.
1t is filed with an inconceivable
variety of minerals in bewildering
Quantities. The States of the East
have remarkable exhibits of building
stones, iron ores and coal. Their
displays are more novel to a West
erncr than gol1 and silver bullion.
Some of the foreign countries have
magnificent shows. New South
Wales, in particular, has nearly
every metal or mineral known to the
commercial world, either in art,
science or mechanical utility The
South African diamond mines have
display in conjunction with Tiffany
& Co., of New York York, of ma
chinery for washing out the gems
and sorting, cutting and polishing
them. Ii is in operation in full view
of the crowding, envious public.
Arizonas exhibit attracts consid-
cradle attention by reason of the
brilliancy and beauty of her peculiar
ores and petrifed woods.
[ saw Montana solid silver statue

urally valuable, with over $500, 900
worth of gold for part of the pedes-
tai and $4,000 worth of silver in
the figure. Artistically it is worth
about six bits. Not only is the
thing bow>legged, as has been fully
determined and commented upon by
