Mr.. w. "A. Pope. the chairman of the
New Mexico commission. appointed by
Governor Otero to prepare an exhibit
of the products of New Mexico for the
South Carolina Interstate and West In
dian exposition, now being held in

ton that the exposition is a very hand
some affair.
On his way to the exposition he
stopped IL New York and saw Mr..
Hyde, of the Hyde Exploring company.
Governor Otero. who was in New YORK
at the time. also called on Mr.. Hyde
and urged him to make an exhibit at
Charleston. After considering the
matter Mr.. Hyde agreed to assist the
New Mexico commission to place an
exhibit at Charleston. The space as
signed New Mexico is in the same
building occupied by Oregon. Louis
lana and Florida, and directly oppo-
| site the tropical display of the state
last named. The enterprise and good
will of the Hyde Exploring company
| will he of great assistance, as the New
htexico commission has no money
whatever to expend.
The miners all over the territory are
~manifesting considerable interest and
il seems now hat all the principal
mining camps will be represented.
They are taKing advantage of the kind
offer of free transportation made by
the Santa Fe Railroad company and
are shipping ore to r. w. ID. Bryan, of
this city. The southern part OF the
territory seems to take hold of the
matter vigorously. Mr.. A. +. Page, a
member of the commission from Ros'
we'll, has already sem to Charleston a
very large collection of mineral and
vegetable products. Mr.. Page had. on
behalf OF his section Of the territory
a very creditable exhibit at Buffalo
and he has added considerable to this
and forwarded it to Charleston.
Mr.. A. II. Harllee, a member of the
commission from Silver City. has beer
very active in gathering ores from
that section. He is one of the leading
attorneys of the territory, and has
been for many years acting as the at
torney or most of the large mining
companies operating in the southwest
ern part of the territory. On TINS &C
count and because of his activity. a re
marKably full and complete collection
of representative ores has been made
These have been or are being shipped
to this city, from whence, after all thu
exhibits are collected, they will be sen
to CHARLESTON.
Mr.. Z. ID. williams, of Las Cruces
has collected a good exhibit from that
section. Inc Agricultural college will
forward its attractive display immedi
ately after the carnival at Ell Paso.
Mr.. 4. "a. Maggie. of Cooks, has for
warded a fine display of lead ore.

large box of fine ore. There are OF
hand ores from the Cochiti district, the
Black Range mining district and the
San Pedro mining district, the Naci
miento mining district, and from Gran
and Sierra counties.
Il is important that other shipments
promised should be made at once, as 1
is desired to start the exhibit from
Albuquerque by the middle of TIL
month. AS all these ores will, at thu
close of the Charleston exposition, b.
sent to the Worlds FAIR in st. Louis IL
1903. the resources of our territor.
will receive extensive attention.
The commission needs some none,
to meet actual expenses, ana the CON
missioners Of the various counties ar
asked to appropriate money for tn
use of the commission.
Friends of me territory and those in
terested in inducing men and money t
