BIC MINING
EXPOSITION
NEW YORK BEGINS ITS FIRST
MINERAL AND METAL Ex
HlBiT TO-DAY.

NEW YORK; May 25.-An inter-
NATIONAL mining exposition, the first
exhibition of mineral and metal pro-
ducts and practical mining methods
ever hell in New York. has been in
stalled In Madison Square Garden and.
beginning today. will remain open I'M
til June 30. Many distinguished min
Ing engineers and experts are among
the promoters of the big mining
show, and the United States govern
ment, through the Geological Survey,
has made an extensive display of its
mineral resources. The American
Mining Congress and several State
governments and State and interstate
mining bodies have also Endorsed the
exposition. Dissatisfaction with the
management has caused some of the
western States and mining communi-
ties. notably Utah, to refuse to make
displays. but despite this fact the ex-
position Is fairly representative Of thu
great mining districts Of the West.
Mining machinery in operation and n
reproduction of western mining
camp form notable TEXTURES of the
show.
Tho exhibit OF the United States
Geological Survey shows TINT about
rs minerals are found In the United.
States. ranging from coal to dia-
monds. Not many of the latter pre-.
cious stones have been found. but
they were widely scattered, and ms
their locntions and surroundings were
similar to the places where, diamonds
are found in great abundance in South
Africa. scientists hold out to prospect
ors the hope of finding a Kimberley
field in the New World. S
That there Is wide field for the
mining exposition to cover in this
country alone, is evident from the
fact that the mineral production OF
