Prof. Jones Says Territory Will
Have Excellent Mineral Exhi-
bit at the Worlds Fair.
PEOPLE SHOULD HELP
All the Prominent Mining Districts Of
New Mexico Will Be Well
Represented.

Prot. Fayette A.. Jones, who will
have charge of the mining exhibit
from New Mexico for the Worlds fair
was in the city yesterday.
Professor Jones said that the pros.
poets OF New Mexico having very
creditable display OF her mining in
t,ustries at St. Louis were good and
that he was hard at work along that
line.
Il have been over the northern and
the northwestern parts of the Terri
tory and have recently returned from
the Bromide and Headstone districts
of Rio Arriba County" said Professor
Jones. 'T expect to get very credit
able display from this sectio:, of the
Territory and Col. J. A. Wood of Gold
en- has stated that he would like to
construct model experimental plant
for the saving of placer gold for the
New Mexico mining exhibit at ST.
Louis He will also have a collection
OF gold nuggets and gold dust ready
for the exhibit by next January. A..
B. Renehan, Esq, of this city has
promised a fine collection Of red and
yellow ochre, which is obtained in the
same section and which is very valu-
able in making mineral paints.
The Glen Woody Mining company
will make large exhibit of it's ores
and it is possible that model OF the
plant will be in operation on the
grounds. The Frazer Mountain Cop
per company will ship to Albuquerque
q large display Of ores, MATES, con-
centl.ates and slags which will be at
the Territorial fair and later taken to
St Louis.
The Santa Fe Central will also
have an exhibit of the coal mined
from the Hagan fields and of salt and
soda taken from the lakes located on
the Estancia plains. Promises of an
extraordinarily fine exhibit from the
lead mines in the Magdalena district
have been received. Grant County
will be largely looked after by Messrs.
Porterfleld and Walton who live in
that county AS for the eastern part
OF the Territory where are located the
.Jicarrillo, White Oaks and CAPTAIN
districts, though l have not visited
these districts yet have been in cor
respcndence with parties there and
they assure me that very fine collec-
ton of the ores of that section will be
gotten together for the New Mexi-
co exhibit.
"The matter of taking up the min
eraI springs and using the analyses
that have been or will be made and
classifying them accordingly. is also
being considered. NJ S. Otero of AL
buquerque has promised an extensive
display of the sulphur from the mines
in the Jemez country. The capacity
of these mines it is understood will be
greatly increased.
"The New Mexico exhibit will in
clude gold and silver ores, copper,
lead, tungsten. iron. manganese, uran-
ium, vanadium, molybdenum, cobalt,
salt and soda, nitrates, gypsum, ce-
ment rock building stone, lithograph-.
ing stone and most every kind of min
eral known to the commercial world
and the rare minerals that are to be
found only in this section of the coun-
try.
1--WE are doing everything possible
with the amount of funds that have
been placed at our disposal for this
work and what will count largely win
be individual efforts to make this dis
play one of the finest that will be at
St. Louis. The board will appreciate
any help that is rendered by the citi-
zens of the Territory"
Professor Jones said that during the
past year more solid progress had
been made than during any previous
period in the history of mining in the
Territory. He said that the mining
operations were being conducted more
intelligently and that the idea of
adapting the machinery to the charac
ters Of the ores to be mined was fast
supplanting the old methods.
F. A. Elliott, a mining engineer of
the Bromide district, has presented to
the board of managers for New Mexi-
co of the st. Louis exposition very
fine specimen of golden eagle.
Though young, the eagle measures
feet from tip to tip. The gift was
made through Professor Jones and
will be shipped within few days to
Hon. Arthur Seligman of this city who
will care for it temporarily
