PUBLICITY FOR
THE CONGRESS

GOLDf lE1D, AuS# i o. ocCictdiy
Callbreath, of the American Mining
congress, has written Mr.. Jos. H.
Hutchinson, chairman of the Gold
field executive cammittee, that he
and his staff of publicists would leave
Denver today and arrive in this city
towards the end of the week. Then
the real advance work of the Con
gress will begin, and the newspapers
of the United States will be kept
supplied with literature bearing on
the big event. Mr.. Callbreath will
stop over a couple of days in Salt
Lake before finishing his trip, thus
delaying the arrival until the time
stated.
Before shutdown last evening the
magnificent white cabinet" for the
display of high grade specimens dur
ing the sessions of the American Min
ing congress, was completed. The
case contains 444 square feet of
showcasing and, with its. electric
lighting, will afford a fine setting for
the higher grade of specimens of
rock. The cabinet is the idea of
John Tate. ~classifier, of the exhibits,
and extends through the center of
the main room of the ground floor
of the Grand hotel. 1t will easily
accommodate from 1900 to 5000
specimens of ore.
Within a few days there will be
flung to the desert breeze a huge flag
bearing the inscription, Nevada
Mining Palace Every indication
points to the display during the con-
gress being the finest in every way
of my similar exhibition in the his
tory of American mining.
1t is strongly urged that exhibitors
rush their specimens at the earliest
moment. The congress convenes on
September q, and there is a world
of work to be done in the interim
and the earlier the. specimens are
received the more attention car be
paid to them. The c~ataloguing and
classification require many days of
detail work, and it is imperative that
no delay be occasioned.i
Among the exhibits received dur
ing the past few days are several
samples of ore from the properties
of the Nevada Douglas Copper COM
pduy, OpCi dIlu6 CAlCuolfO AOlulASo.
One specimen of gypsum brought
here is from a vein several hundred
feet in width. The material crops
out at the surface and has been
proven up for at least 500 feet. The
same company has SEN in a specimen
of iron cap, from a ledge 35 feet
in width; while another exhibit is
of copper carbonate or malacbite
Blue vitrol, or chalcanthite, a. blue
stone used in silver mining is also
among the exhibits of the company
named. Another fine piece of rock
is chalcopyrite, or copper iron sui.
phide, which. runs from 80 to 40 pei
cent in copper. A sample of car
Donate. i~mpregnated with garnetite
is also shown. Credit for the receipr
of these specimens is largely due tt
the Yerington Commercial club
which is determined to have tha'
section of the state represented a
the congress.
The Hubbard lease, at LrIckyboy
is excellently represented thus fal
