AT Colorado Springs" continued Mr.
Johnson, Il found the mining men fully
awake to the Importance of the con-
gress, and as much interested with the
people of Denver in the meeting. AL
of the appointing powers there have
taken the matter up and will see to it
that their appointees attend, or, if I'M
able to do so, will make up the quota of
delegates by appointing alternates.
Mayor Irvine is so interested and thinks
so much of Salt Lake City that he has
decided to accompany the delegation,
and 1 promised him a, warm welcome
on the part of the citizens of our city.
Among the delegates appointed from
there are Mr.. George Bernard, presi-
dent of the ElktOn Consolidated Mining

running over $4,000 to the ton. Mr.
Bernard proposes bringing on an eX-

/ visitors here who are not familiar with
] the formation of the Cripple Creek dis
trict may see something of what it is
like. Mr.. w. S. Jackson, vice president
| of the same company and a prominent
banker of Colorado Springs, will also be
! here. Mr.. Irving Howbert, who is a
very prominent banker and mining man
| there, and very we'll known all over
! Colorado, has promised to attend. Mr.
! F. j. Peck, one : of the officers of
/ Portland Gold Mining company, one of
| the largest and most profitable mining
enterprises of Cripple Creek, will also
be with US, and Mr.. w. S. Stratton,
whose name is known everywhere in
connection with mining because of the
wonderful success he has achieved in
developing the great Independence mine
of Cripple Creek, is expected to be

81 met a number of people from diff
ferent parts of the state, all of whom
showed that they had kept themselves
well informed concerning the congress,
ard assured me that they and many
others in their respective sections were
all arranging to be here
THE newspapers of Denver have as
sured US that their columns are open
to US, and that they will do all in their
power to further the success of the
congress.
while in Denver / secured the min
utes of last years convention. These
were reported in detail by experts and
transcribed in full, but were unfortu-
nately not published. They will be very
useful to us in our preliminary work,
and for reference during the next SEES
sions. The people of Denver compli-
mented the citizens of Salt Lake City
very highly when 1 told them of the
generous response we have so far re,
ceived TO our cali for contributions
Such hearty support confirms them in
the conviction that the congress will be
grand and notable success.
MIR. Irwin Mahon of Denver, who |
was the secretary of the Denver con-
gress, is now actively at work in CO.
operation with US toward the end we
have in view, viz: securing the largest |
possible attendance of representative |
men from all over the country.
While in Colorado I learned that |
several prominent mining operators |
We're arranging to bring ON exhibits of |
ore for display in conjunction with our |
exhibit, and it pleased me very much |
as further evidence of the estimate |
placed upon the Importance of the oc-
casion. One or two other exhibits of !
an interesting character will also prob
ably be made, though I did not con-
clude definite arrangements regarding
them. One large concern contemplates
making quite display of their manu-
featured goods, which embrace a COM
plete line of crucibles, muffles, furnaces
and other assayers' supplies. Another
Denver firm, which is widely known all
over the west for their fine scenic views
and other color work, contemplate max
ing an elaborate display
This disposition to take part in our
exhibit, it is hoped, will stimulate our
home people to extra effort and help to
make the exhibit a feature of unusual
and of the utmost credit to
the exhibitors.
The various railroads running west
from Chicago and st. Louis, all of
whom have offices in Denver. are now
at work preparing special advertising
matter relative to the congress, and are

IN attracting attention TO the event In
this connection l will say that some
special arrangements are in prepara-
ton which will appeal particularly to
4 large number, and serve as an excel
ent advertising feature, both for the
railroads and ourselves
The ladies of Denver are taking
quite an interest in the congress. and
We expect quite a number to attend:
among Them Mrs I
has taken very prominent place
lmong mining operators in Colorado.
She is now operating three large and
claims, supervising all the
work herself, and has just completed
he erection of thoroughly up-to-date
OO-stamp mill. Mrs. Atwood like so
many others whom l met, recognizes
he importance of attending the con-
;ress because of the great need that
