eral exhibit of the copper ores or Glla county. This is the particular pride of MT. Sabourin and above the exhi- bition case or rack is big copper col ored letters is painted "Gila County Monster Copper District" The Gila Monster badge heretofore spoken of is also distributed there and is surely one that attracts attention. Speaking of his county Mr. Sabourin says Globe and vicinity now has twelve properties all of which are on a paying basis Some of them are not actively worked just at the present time and some are shipping their ores but every one of them have proved ore bodies that show them to be profitable mines for the owners. He named them as follows: Old Dominion, Big Johnny, Copper Hill, Gibson Welsh property, Five Points, Inspiration Co, Cole and Good win, Keystone, Live Oak, Geneva and Black Warrior. which is now shipping ore. And there are many others un- der development.
 In the north center of the buildings is a case containing specimens of the rare minerals of the territory and its worth anyone's while to see whether he is interested in mining or not. The general scheme is to keep the exhibits from northern Arizona in the northern part of the building, from southern Art- zona in the south end and central counties in the center. The big mining companies of course furnish the spec tacular and expensive displays and are the things most noted by the careless observer But the person who desires to know what Arizona has in the way of prospects and mines under develop e. NIaN | round the room, next to the walls. runs a double tier of shelving, which is packed full of samples from a thousand different mines, perhaps more than that. Anyhow the shelves are full of ores of all kinds and they are all worth looking at. Some fine day hundred of these mines now represented by few pounds of ore in a quiet modest place, will be as valuable as the United Verde, Copper Queen or other oe the present big properties.
 The United Verde display is the largest single exhibit and comprises two long tables and one show case. Copper is shown in every possible form, from crude ore, roasted ore, con- verter process and finished bullion. There are also converter Things, slags and diamond drill cores. In the show case is an exhibit of copper sull'hate (natural blMestone) formed by eVapor ation of copper water in the stOpes of the mine, as we'll as a number Of cop- per ornamental pieces made al the smelter and two bars of copper bullion aggregating about TOO pounds.
 Tn a show case in the north end is the exhibit of the Orc Grande gold mine near Wickenburg. In this every thing is shown from the ore carrying free gold to ama1gam. retorted gold and a gold bar. This is a beautiful exhibit the bullion value of which Is estimated at s2.OOO though the cabinet value of the collection is much more.
 The Calumet and Arizona shows characteristic ores of all kinds in bowls or copper dishes made at the smeltar. There arc sulDhides, oxides and car bOnates of various kinds and 25O pound bar of copper bullion.
 There is a fine exhibition of Pinal county ores in charge Of VI. E. Twitch- ell. who has worked unceasingly to make a big display. This collection is found in the south end of the building and includes a lot Of things deserving of special mention is space were avail able. Pinal is one of the coming big lllnlnR counties anu IS WOllll lOOSlil1 over by any man with money to invest.
 One item that should be mentioned Is the display of diplomas earned at the St. Louis exposition. One Is shown by the territory. awarded for general min ing exhibit one by the United Verde and one by the Bret Harte Gold Min ing Co. for free milling gold ore, the property being in the northern part of Maricopa county. Speaking of Mar icopa county there are a few exhibits there the county. should be very proud of even if this is not a so-called min- ing county. One is the Relief mine dis play of gold ores in a cabinet to the north ard also on the shelves. Two others are big district exhibits in the county division to the south and are from the White Tanks and Cave Creek districts The F. L. Eddy company has a good exhibit and there are num- erOus others.
 Of the floor settings onyx and petri- fled wood have been mentioned. There yet remains one of the most novel eX- hibits one could imagine, namely q 340 pound piece of the big meteor that fell near the Canyon Diablo, about twelve miles south of where 1t is cross ed by the railroad track of the Santa Fe line. When It Tell no one knows and concerning it's size 1t can only be estimated but it is supposed to have weighed approximately 50,0OO tons Anyhow the hole in the ground where it entered the earth is now GAO feet dep and three fourths of a mile in diame- ter. The chunk displayed is almost solid iron.
 On the walls of the mining building there are displayed many pictures and maps of various camps. and altogether the display is one of which the fair is proud, the territory is proud and Phoe- nix surely Is. Both the big corpora tions and the small mine owners have contributed that which was necessary and there is nothing present that was not wanted.
 The display of the Clifton and Nor enci district that was held un bv th'' floods is expected to arrive and be put in place this morning.
 THE RACES.
 The two harness races yesterday were both good, but there was scarcely a contest as the horses In each race finished each heat in the same order. It was always one, two, three. Never
