VISITORS OPINION.
Hon. VIM. NJ. Berger who returned
from Chicago yesterday says tho
Worlds fair is tho most successful of any
ever attempted by any nation on earth.
and that the praises which it is receiving
from foreigners and the people of our
own country are of the best. One can
realize there all the enchantment and
wonders of the Arabian Nights tales, to-
gether with the wonderful advancement
which has been made in the manufactur-
ing and liberal arts of the past century.
New Mexico's exhibit, though not as
large and complete as he expected to find
it, nevertheless III axes creditable show
ing in minerals, grains and curios and
is attracting marked attention from all
visitors.
THE MINERAL DISPLAY.
Prof. j. c. Carsrra, of Las Cruces, su-
perintendent OF New Me1icos mining
exhibition at the Worlds fair, arrived in
the city from the south this morning. He
will attend the silver convention at Silver
City in company with Gov. Thornton and
several other Santa Feans, before return
ing to Chicago. Prof. Carerra says that
while the territorial mineral exhibit at
the great fair il not SO large as from
many other western states, still it is
rather creditable and is much admired.
His own private mineral cabinet is there
and for this he has refused an offer of
$4,000. The arrangement of all the
New Mexico exhibits, he says, is not
good, being too widely scattered, though
it is likely that Gov. Prince, who reached
Chicago yesterday from New York and
entered upon his duties as commits
sioner from New Mexico, will remedy
this matter. r."
NAVAJO EXHIBIT.
Antonio Apache, an enlightened Indian
who received his education in Boston, and
who is better posted on things generally
than the majority of whites, was in Gal
lup the first part of this week to escort
Ave Navajoes to the Worlds fair. Apache
is employed by Uncle Sam to make an
Indian exhibit, as it were, at the Worlds
fair, and up to date has taken about 200
of them from the various tribes in the
United States to the White City.--Gallup

GENEROUS WORDS.
Gov. Thornton has done we'll in ap-
pointing L. Bradford Prince member of
the New Mexico board of Worlds fair
manager, in place of Major W. II. H.
Llewellyn, resigned; no man has done
more for New Mexico in the way. of call
ing outside attention to our boundless
resources than ex-Gov. Prince. As mem
Der of the board Of managers of the
Worlds fair it gives him room to still
continue the good work. In the resigna-
tion of Major Llewellyp the board loses
very active member, and trustworthy
and most efficient secretary. For nearly
three years he has devoted much of his
time to the work of properly represent
ing New Mexico At Chicago. His duties
in his official capacity with the A., T. &
8. F. railroad now consume his ontire
time, hence his resignation Juan
