DR.. F. A. Jones, worlds fair COM
missioner, has personal charge of the
mineral exhibit at the louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition and has sent a circu-
lar letter to the mining men Of the ter
ritory and calls their attention to the
Importance of having grand display
at the fair.
The letter Of DIR. Jones reads as fol-
lows:
To the Mine Owners and Operators
of New Mexico:
New Mexico is preparing a great
exhibit Of its vast resources from its
various mines and quarries TO be dis
played at the City of st. Louis, next
year. This exhibit will attract the at
tention of investors from al over the
civilized world; and every mine, quarry
and prospect should appear on the
printed list, which will give a detailed
description of each property in New
Mexico.
The plan is that each sample, wheth-
er OF ores, precious gems, building
stones or other mineral products, shall
each be properly labeled and numbered
when placed on EXHIBITION; this number
will refer to and correspond with the
number in the publication, where a
description Of the property, with name
and address Of the owner, extent of
development, characterof deposit, etc.
will be given. Any good photographs
furnished that you may have of your
mine, mill or groupings will be included
and reference given to the mine TO
which it belongs.
We do not care particularly to have
display of small and pretty pieces of
minerals simply because they glitter;
but, ws with what may be considered
average samples of the ore or deposit.
Samples should Re as large as con-
ditions will admit in the mining and
handling of the same; smaller pieces
varying in sizes should be sent, also. in
order that small sample NAV be giv-
en- to any one who might feel an inter
est in any particular property. Samp-
les weighing a ton or more will Be
greatly appreciated. All samples
should be substantially wrapped before
they are sacked, boxed or Grated. in
order to avoid injury during transit
full and complete labels giving name
OF mine, owner, locality, approximate
assay valnes or chemical analyses
should accompany each lot. Speci-
mems Of the wall rock are desired.
accompanied, also, by pieces of the
characteristic country rock.
Any printed literature and reports
made by mining engineers and geolo,
gists, Of the district, or any particular
mining properties, are much desired
and needed in making the publication
complete as possible.
The Territorial Board of Worlds
Fair Managers designated Albuoueruue
the collecting point of the mineral ex-
hibit, at which point the same will he
displayed at the annual Territorial Fair
next fall, previous to its shipment IN
