1t may sound strange to hear per-

"fatigued iron rail-" but that sort Of
talk is heard along railways and In

ways of machinery say that work
makes it tired and that 1t needs rest

inspector.
That answer is frequent, and often
in accordance with the facts. At times
an axle breaks or a rail parts or

We are glad to learn that Mr.. Albert
Richards of Laramie has commenced
the collection of specimens of ore from
all the mines of the state for exhibition
when the Wyoming Industrial conveu-
ton meets at Laramie. on December II
II. The Leader calls upon the miners
and prOspoGtOrs of Wyoming to for
ward samples at once as considerable
time will be required for their arrange
ment.
This will be a very important fea
ture of the meeting as there will prob
ably be mining experts from Colorado,
Utah and other states in attendance
at the convention.
The collection made by Mr.. Richards
would be a valuable adjunct to the
next celebration of Frontier day in
Cheyenne. We have abundance of
room on the grounds for such an ex.
hibition and with the large addition
that could be made next year. Wyo-
ming would have a good start for its
exhibit at the worlds fair in st. Louis
in 1903.
Should this plan be acceptable the
ores now sent to Mr.. Richards at Lar
annie would gain wide notoriety and
make a national reputation for our
mines. We know from the experience
of Colorado, which started out in this
way by making an exhibit at Chicago
in 1860. what the effect is of such OBJ
ject lessons. They did more to adver-
tise that state than all the printed mat
ter than could have been distributed.
This is a practical method. and com
paratively inexpensive. of getting a
comprehensive display of ores for the
great exhibition at st. Louis. The
mistake usually made is to defer this
preliminary work.-Leader.
