INTERNATIONAL MINING
EXPOSITION IS OPENED

New York. May 25-An ipterna-
tional mining exposition, the first
exhibition of IN ineral and metal pro-
ducts and practical mining methods
ever held in New York, has been in
stalled in Madison Square garden,
and, beginning today, will remain
open until June 30. Many distin-
guished mining engineers and ex-
perts are among the promoters of the
big mining show. and the U nited
States government, through the Geo.
logical survey, has made an extensive
display of its mineral resources.
The American Mining congress and
several state governments and state
aud interstate mining bodies have
also Endorsed the exposition. Disas-
tisfaction with the management has
caused some of the western states and
hopacAy Ce"''
to refuse to make displays, but des-
pite this fact the exposition is fairly
representative of the great mining
districts of the West. Mining mach-
inery in operation and reproduction
of western mining camp form
notable features of the show.
The exhibit of the United States
Geological survey show that about 10
minerals are found in the United
States. ranging from coal to diamonds.
Not many of the latter precious stones
have been found, but they were wide
ly scattered, and as their locations
and surroundings we're similar to the
places where diamonds are found in
great abundance in South Africa,
scientists hold out to prospectors the
hope of finding Kimberley field in
the New World.

Of the state, the new settlers on Bea-

shipping them here by the carload

In thes last month or 80 no loss

is said that these houses can be pur-
chased for about twenty five per cent
of the original cost. Even with the
freight and hauling charges paid,
there is still big saving. and the
settlers are said to have their homes
built on the PARK at less cost than
