 The Phoenix and Maricopa County Board of Trade is engaged in the very laudable effort to make a first class display of Arizona mine products. Sever al hundred fine specimens have been added to the collection during the past month, and attracts the atten- tion of many people who call each day at the board rooms to view the ores.
