Secretary johnson returned yesterday
morning from a trip to Eureka, where
he went to confer with the citizens as
to plans for entertaining the congress
excursion TO the camp. and to see Mr..
Wootton, who is collecting the state
mineral exhibit. Mr.. Johnson was thor
oughly satisfied with the prospects for
a successful excursion, and more than
pleased with the exhibit the big mines
of Tintic are contributing for the con-
Eress-
Speaking of this, Mr.. Johnson said:
''Mr. Wootton has got some very hne
exhibits of ore from the Centennial
Eureka, Eureka Hill, Bullion-Beck, &C.
mini, Humbug and Uncle Sam mines,
and is now gathering and packing ship
ments from the Mammoth, Grand Cen
trail and other properties. The Dragon
mine at Silver City will make a large
display of iron ore. and there will be
good exhibits from the Martha WASH
ington, the Swansea and South Swan
sea, Homestake and other properties in
that part of the mine. Mine-ownerS
and SuperintendentS are doing every
thing possible to aid US, and it is ap-
preciated, but it will be impossible for
Mr. Wootton to visit all the mines per
sonally; because of this, am extreme
ly anxious to have all those who intend
to make displays notify me by mail,
so l can advise them as to shipping and
other matters, and facilitate the work
in the field as much as possible. l wish
to call attention again to the fact that
what we want is a commercial display
of ores and other mineral products of
the state, not merely picked specimens
although they, of course, are desirable;
but we want large samples of ore, SUI
ficient to show the practical mining
man who visits the exhibit the particu-
lar characteristics of the product of
each mine. Any owner of properties,
whether mines or deposits of other min
erals, who wish to make an exhibit,
should address me at once in regard to
the matter, and / will Immediately adj
wise them of the necessary shipping in
structions and other points E.lative to
the packing and the handling of the
exhibits. find that the Importance of
this exhibit and the benefit that will
accrue to the exhibitors, and to the
state at large, while realized by a few,
is not yet generally appreciated
The gathering in this city on the
occasion of the Mining congress will
be of a most important character,
comprising as it will in large measure,
mining operators from all over the
country and investors who are con-
stantly on the lookout for opportuni-
ties, and for the sake of the credit of
the state, it is important that these
visitors should be shown as complete
a display of its mineral resources as
possible. The present outlook is that
we shall have a very satisfactory eX-
hibit, but the more extensive and COM
plete we can make it, the greater the
honor to Utah, and the greater benefit
has provided the largest proportion of
samples, but l hope that every district
in the state will take measures to pro-
vide display commensurate with their
Importance.
Mr. Wootton will be engaged in the
Tintic district the greater part of the
present week, and from there he will
return to Bingham for a few days
further work Arrangements will then
1. -. 20 TOar-
pay another visit to the Mercur dis
trict. 1t is therefore requested that
those who are interested in the matter
in each of these districts be prepared
with some good samples from their
that his work may be ia
cilitated.
Some very good displays of ore are
coming in from the Deep Creek and
Fish Springs country. and some sam
pies are also now on the way from
Beaver and Iron counties. There are
a good MANY of the smaller camps in
the state that should take part in this
exhibit, but which we will be unable to
reach personally and | again urge the
of those operating in such
camps to take uD the matter imme-
diately and see that some good sam
pies are sent in.
Il am receiving some applications
for space in the exhibition hall from
people interested in various specialties,
but it may be understood that prefer
ence will be given to displays of min
erals, and in this we wish every one |
and who cares to do so, to
take part.
I'm this connection l would like to
suggest that if the people of each camp !
Or district would organize with a view |
to cooperating together in this matter. |
1t would help us very much and insure !
q more creditable display from their |
own sections; and that it might be well |
also if each section would designate /
some one of their number to be present |
