The first international mining exhibit
in the history Of the world is TO be held
in New York City. from May . to June
%. Here the evolution OF the great
mining industry OF the United States will
be fully exempIined. Products Of the va
rious mines and the methods Of obtaining
these will be shown. and a complete his
tory Of the industry given in practical de-
tail.
The principal promoters Of the exposi-
ton idea are John Hays Hammond-the
celebrated mining engineer. who is said
10 draw a greater income from his pro-
fessional services than any other man
in the WOrld-the American Mining Con-
gress, and the Institute OF Mining Engi-
neers. II is their hope 10 make this in
ternational in its scope. and with this
end in view are zealously seeking the Co
operation OF the national and foreign gov
ernments. The chief aim is 70 interest
the public in the mineral resources Of the
nation IN general and Of the great West
IN particular. Most OF the Western mines
are operated under Eastern capital
and partly because Of this, Madison
Square Garden. New York. was chosen
as the place for the exposition. though
the accessibility Of this port 10 the YES
sells Of foreign countries which may ex-
hibit. is a stronger point in favor OF the
location.
A bill has been introduced in Congress
by Representative Frank ". Mondell. Of
Wyoming. providing for a government
exhibit at the exposition. The bill pro-
Yides that this be prepared by the Geo
logical Survey. and that Il consist Of
specimens OF the mineral resources OF
the United States and its possessions. and
the methods of mining and extraction OF
metals The bill also authorizes the
President 10 invite the nations OF the
world % participate in the exposition
The bill is not meeting with great favor
in Congress because the Geological Sur
vey says il can prepare an exhibit with
out the proposed appropriation Of S1e.oo0
or Sl5.0o0 II IS the purpose OF these gov
ernment officials TO give demonstration
OF the scientific work that has for some
time been carried on by the Geological
SUrvey. This includes the investigation
OF the mineral resources OF the United
