New Orleans, on the other hand :,
had twenty or thirty of Louisiana g
most prominent men to back her, but
they did not seem to appreciate the
necessity Of doing personal work. They
depended rather on the forcefulness OF
their public speakers aud the gen.
uinepess of their claims to carry the
day. When the matter came up in the
congress for action, such had been the
result of Cripple Creeks close per-
sOnal canvass that the convention was
stampeded her way, and New Orleans
gave her blessing by moving that the
choice be declared unanimous.
CRIPPLE CREEK GETTING READY FOR

The Cripple Creek local secretary of

to insure the superiority of the Grip.
pie Creek meeting over every one tina
has gone before. There seems to be no
division in the ranks, and the cOopera
tion of Colorado's business men, espe
cially those of Cripple Creek, is SO
complete as to furnish US of Ell Paso
very wholesome lesson.
The secretary, Colonel Martin, has
for . starter secured from several min
ing kings contribu lions OF 50 600 each
toward entertaining the congress. His
plan contemplates the organization of
corps OF travelling representatives,
who will consist OF the foremost bust
ness men and who will travel for sew
eral mouths through all the transmits
sissippi states, to advance the interests
of the congress and secure from every
state and city in the trsnsmississippi
territory positive promise that d ele-
gates will be selected who will actual
ly attend the meeting.
The local committee of arrange
ments will consist of eighty to hun
dred prominent citizens of Cripple
Creek. Plans for fine convention
hall have been approved, the money
subscribed for its construction, and the
building will be under way within a
very short TIM. In this convention
hall a mineral exhibit will be ar
ranged, that TOR its completeness In
covering a certain section OF country,
will have no superior in the world
Nothing will be left undone and no ex-
penditure will be considered too great
for the adequate entertainment OF the
two thousand delegates who are eX-
pected to attend the convention.
