MEXICAN NATIONAL BAND WILL
GIVE FIRST CONCERT ON
NEXT SUNDAY NIGHT AT PARK

Albuquerque yesterday got into the
full swing of final preparation for the
Irrigation congress and exposition.
From this time until Monday the work
of preparing for the big ten laws will
be one continual rush and at the pres
ent rate every important preparatory
detail will nave been carried out nv
Monday night.
1t is apparent that the decoration
is to be superior in beauty and extent
to anything Albuquerque has ever at
tempted before. The business houses
that are going in for decoration are
doing it on a most extensive and elab-
crate scale and the result is going to
be entirely satisfactory. Also it be-
gins to appear that every vacant lot
in Albuquerque, especially in the bus
mess district is to be utilized. Tenn
porary restaurants, street stands of
every DISCRETION, shows, and all the
accompaniment of a big gathering OF
the kind are gathering from all points
of the compass and the arrival of the
carnival company with its twenty
eight shows on Sunday will complete
the ming up of the vacant spaces.
Exhibits More Than Satisfactory
Several men who visited the eXpOsi-
ton grounds yesterday expressed sur
prise at the extent of the exhibits al
ready installed one man who spent
some time at jamestown declared that
the display of agricultural implements
on the grounds exceeds in extent and
variety that made at Jamestown.
Every passenger train to arrive is
bringing its express cars laden with
p%erishable exhibits while literally
train loads are arriving from all di-
reetions.
The exposition from the. standpoint
of extent and character of the eXhib-
its is going to far surpass the most
sanguine expectations.
The Mexican National band will
leave Chihuahua today for Albuquer-
que, The band will arrive in El Paso
tomorrow and will leave tomorrow
night for Albuquerque arriving here
Sunday morning. The band will give
its first concert, probably in Robinson
park Sunday night. on sunday also
the troops from Fort Wingate and
from Fort Logan, Colorado, will ar
rive and the cadets from the Roswell
military school are eXected on the
day. In fact, practically all of
military and amusement people
and their equipment VII be on the
ground by Monday morning.

COUNTY AND SONORA
MINERAL EXHIBIT ON GROUND
over SIX Tons of Beautiful Minerals from Southern Arizona
and Northern Mexico Will Be Placed in Position in Mining
Building at Exposition Today; Many Rare and Costly Ore
Specimens in Display Which Is in Charge of Douglas
Chamber of Commerce.

The big mineral exhibit from Coch-
Use county, Arizona, and Sonora, Mex
leo, arrived in Albuquerque yesterday
afternoon and viii today be installed
in the mining building at the expo
sition grounds. The exhibit Is in
charge of Frank Gerhart, secretary
OF the Douglas Chamber of Commerce
and Mines, who also arrived In the
city yesterday. The exhibit consists of
! over six tons of very fine mineral spec
mems from the rich mining districts
OF Coehise county and Sonora. There
are many fine specimens from the
great Warren district at Bisbee. bur
the larger part is from the rich dis
trict of Sonora, Mexico.
This is essentially an exhibit of
mine or commercial ores, that is, the
ores Just as they come out OF the
working mine. Most of the specimens
were simply picked up at random
right in the shaft as the ores were go
ing to the smolters, In the exhibit
there are samples of ores from over
one hundred and twenty-five different
properties representing nearly every
different kind of known ore. The ma
Jority of the samples consist Of copper
ores, both the sulphides and oxides,
but there is a fine representation of
gold, silver and lead ores, and several
~ '"'iAl't-" VI GAA1 anu bi0lilulli pltS
from Sonora.
In addition to the large collectionf
OF commercial ores from this famous
district there is also with his exhibit
one of the finest mineral cabinets of,
the southwest, containing over -four
hundred beautiful specimens of min
erals. The difference between a col
lection of commercial ores and miner
al specimens is that the former shows
thu nt.n. no tE,,r- 80. ,f,4l ga, 49,
smclter and the other the beautiful
samples picked up in mining. In the
latter are always rare freaks Of ma
ture. For instance in the great cop
per mines at Bisbee, Arizona, there
are found many beautiful specimens
of maIaeite copper ore. When highly
polished this ore resembles emerald
and is used extensively for making
watch charms, locketS, etc. In the
collection from COchise county there
are three rare specimens, one a large
piece of malacite some three feet long
by one foo wide and several inches
thick, belonging to M, j. Cunningham,
of Bisbcc, Arizona. This piece of NAL
icite is probably the largest in exist
was polished by Tiffany of New
York and is valued at 5000. The
accompanying this magnif-
cent exhibit is valued at several thous-
and dollars and during the exposition
will be carefully guarded in order to
keep people from taking any of the
rare specimens as souvenirs.
CoChisc county, Arizona, and So
nora, Mexico, have probably the rich
mining section in the country and
when fully developed 1t will prove
to be the worlds greatest known min
ing field. Already it possesses two
