information of all concerned:
To the Editor of the New Mexican:
Albuquerque, N. M, Feb. 6, 1902
Dear Sir: l presume that you hav
seen in the Albuquerque papers whicl
you get, the effort that is being mad
to raise enough money to secure an ex
hibit for New Mexico at the Charleston
| exposition. I am very glad to say tina
| the public spirited citizens of Albu
querque have responded very nobly
| and the $500 necessary is practically Sc
cured. There is small amount yet tt
be raised, but I think that we will bt
able to raise it. This Is work tha
ought to be done by the citizens of the
territory at large, but had no time tt
properly solicit subscriptions from
them and was obliged to conf1ne my
attention to Albuquerque. The New
Mexico commission appointed by Gov.
ernor Otero, consists of w. H. Pope
chairman, Santa Fe; A. Fl. Harllee
vice chairman, Silver City: r. w. D
Bryan. secretary y-treasurer, Albuquer-
que; Hugh N. Wilcox, Santa Fe, and
Alva L. Page, Roswell.
Unfortunately the territorial legisla-
ture made no appropriation for the use
of the commission. We have however
collected a large amount Of ore from
the different mining districts in New
Mexico and we will now have a very
creditable exhibit. The Hyde Explor-
ing Company will take charge of it.
an exhibit Of their own, consisting of
blankets, pottery and Indian baskets,
and will also have from IL to Is Indians
weaving blankets and manufacturing
silver ornaments. They will install the
New Mexico exhibit, furnishing tables,
show cases, shelving, labels, notices,
ETC., and we will give them as a pant
payment Of the expenses, the sum Of
$500.
Now that the exhibit is assured, I
am very anxious to have 1t as full and
complete as possible. write there
fore to you to request that you will
use the influence of your paper and
your personal influence in getting your
constituents to furnish exhibits for the
exposition. We would like to have
ores, grains, wines, fruits and vegeta-
bles In their season. At present I pre-
sumo the bulk of the exhibits will have
to be Of ores. 1t Is quite important for
New Mexico to have full and COM
plete exhibit of its varied mineral pro-
ducts.
The Santa Fe Railroad Company has
very graciously agreed to ship free Of
charge all exhibits addressed to me at
this place. All the agents Of the COM
pany have instructions to that effect.
So all your readers will have to do is to
take their exhibits to the agent of the
Santa Fe, and he will take charge of
them and ship them to me free Of
charge. I will then see that they are
sent to Charleston.
The advantages to the territory at
large from this exhibit will be that 1t
will be an advertisement that will at
tract the attention Of men of means
and thus induce capital and people to
come into our territory. It will also at
tract the attention of the throng of
tourists who annually go from the
north to spend the spring months in
It will also gain for us the
good will of the senators and repre-
sentatives of the southeast in congress
and thus aid the statehood bill.
would be very glad If you would do
your part in having exhibits sent to
me. I would like to have them as soon
as possible. We hope to get off the first
carload within the next ten days, but
If exhibits come later I will ship them
at any time.
You will also bear in mind that this
exhibit will be, at the close of the
Charleston exposition, sent to the
fair at st. Louis.
assure you that appreciate the
work of the newspaper men in devel-
,ping New Mexico, and therefore ap-
zeal to you confidently, and knowing
hat this enterprise will receive your
hearty cooperation. 1t would please
ne If you would send me a marked CO.
" of your paper which may contain a |
lotice of this enterprise, and appeal to
our readers to contribute towards the
uccess Of this exhibit.
