WANT ALL THE MINING
 PROPERTIES REPRESENTED
EXHIBITS FROM BIG AND LITTLE
 DESIRED AT PHOENIX.
Hope of Managers to Have Complete Representation of Mineral Posses sions of Territory Present at the First Annual Fair.
Arizona Republican,

It will be but few days now until the first Territorial Fair will be in full blast. and it is sincerely hoped and confidently expected that every county in the territory will be represented, not alone with a few unusually large displays from the famous mines of the respective counties, but by ore samples from the numberless smaller proper ties that bear evidence of merit and future possibilities. The big displays are most emphatically desired, for 1t is the big mines that can afford to spend a little money for the spectacu- lar for the especial exhibits that will first attract the eye of the tourist and show to him the possibilities of other mines. But these big mines are al ready successfully operating, and have little to gain by their displays which are made through the liberality of their owners or managers, for the ma terial welfare of the small mine owner and the territory at large.
 These displays will be fully appre
 ciated by everybody, and there can mol be too many of them, but in addition it is sincerely hoped that the small mine orwner or claim owner will be alive to his opportunities and send along the best he has with as much information concerning its nature and locality as possible. The name of the mine, district, owner. character and value of the ores should be set forth, together with information whether ex- hibit is to be returned or not. The rail roads will charge full freight rates to st- Al. g- &o .,, permanently it is expected there will be a rebate of some sort made, and if it to be returned the proper conces- sion, not yet announced, will be made. The fair commission has caused the erection of a permanent brick struc- ture for the mining building, in which these displays are to be kept the year round, and it is hoped as many as pos sible will send permanent displays.
 No doubt, a thousand small mine owners will say: What will it pront
 me to send an exhibit?" No man can
 say what it will profit him. We may never be able to trace direct profit
 but anything that helps the mining in ! dustry in Arizona, will help him to | sell his mine, to turn the attention oi capital this way. And his ore may attract the attention of somebody that will lead him to a direct sale or capi ! tai for development. The size of the | exhibit is not necessarily the determ | ing feature of it's value. The Bret
 Harte mines are a group of but par italy developed claims in the northern part of Maricopa county, and the own CT had an exhibit at the St. Louis ex | position, one of the smallest of all thC ore exhibits. Nevertheless the Ere
 Ha-te ore was awarded the gold meGa for the best gold ore. And this call:
 to mind the fact that the fair manage
 ment also invites the exhibition of al
 medals, di1omas, etc. that have beer
 heretofore received for ores at othel
 exhibitions, as well as ore as the sam'
 kind accompanying. This is not alon'
 to further advertise that particula
 ore, but to show the visitors that Ari
 zona has the ore that takes premium Il everywhere when iJ is in the running Let everybody who has a minera ledge send along the best he has t
 offer, but let the statements mad
 concerning the property be truthfU
 and not enlarged upon by the imagins
 ton, so that the investor whose alter tin is called to any property may nc
 later be disappointed, if he pursue his investigation.
