PiOcHE AT GOLDFlELD.


annual session of the American Min /
ing congress next September with an
exhibition of products of its mines
How elaborate the display will be
depends entirely upon the citizens
and mine owners of this camp. But
teIrE IRON TIE interest manifested |
in the movement at the meeting held !
Tuesday night, which was addresbed |
by Charles f. kapp, representa- 4
tive of the Mining Congress Commits
sion of Nevada. nothing is going to !
be left undone to have such show
ing of ore at the Goldfield convention
that some Of the other camps of the
state wi / have to sit up and take
notice. Phoebe should have an ex-
hibit as good, ii not better than
any other mining camp in the state
and this can be accomplished if
everybody gets to work now with a
determination to make it So. his
W. be ~ ,excellant~ opportunity TO
g4 the herits of this region before
the mining world. A thousand or
more visitors will be in Goldfie on
the the occasion of the great gath
ering of mining men; doubtless many
will be there that have never heard
OF Phoebe before; others, il they see
an immense display of mineral from
here, will Immediately have their
minds di5abused of the idea that this
is AN o worked out camp Not
only thai, BIT if we 80 there right
which we should do or not a. ALL
hundreds Of The leadins newspapers
and mining journals of the couniry
will use much space in telling t1eir
readers about the exhibit of ores from
Phoebe, and in that manner ogtaih
publicity fer this region that could
not be possibly secured In any other
way. In This connection, it has been
suggested thar we ought to get up an
excursion party composed of progress
i've citizens of the camp hire a spec
ial car for the occasion and with ban
ners flying swoop down upon the tig
gold camp of Esmeralda county with
, such ostegta.ion that everybody will
know thai Phoebe is in the swim. The
ri che Progressive Club should be
there in full force and with nam
nj tn exhibition of mineral products
occupying prominent space IN the
building to be used for exhibition par
poses this camp will receive ire
mendous lot of attention.
In all probability many of the de-
egates to the mining congress will
come here to personally visit the
mines from which the ores wers OBJ
tanned and the first thing we know,
we will have string of investors
coming in this direction to help us
develop more mines. We have the
opportunity to get the mines of pi-
oche squarely before the mining worl
in manner never presented here
tofore, We will be pretty slow lot
if we do not take advantage of it,
This is the first time in the his
tory of Nevada that great national
convention has been held within its
confines. The legis' Azure last win
ter appropriated $4,000 to defray the
expense of getting mineral exhibits
from as many camps of the state
as possible; while the citizens of Col
field an equal sum to gather to
gether the greatest exhibit of min
erals ever seen anywhere in thu
world
The state takes the responsibility o
the safe return of any exhibits loan
ed but on the other hand il re
turn is not desired, the minreals will
be boxed up again and forwarded t.
the Mackey School of Mines at Rene
there to become properly classfie
and cared for as property of the stat
AT the meeting the other nigh
Chairman John r. Cook appointed
large number of persons to under
take the task of collecting specimen
from the various mines; but it mus
be understood that anyong incline
to help out in the matter to consit
er himself a committee of one to co
lect ores for the purposes stated an
to bring them in to town and deli
er them to Milton l.. Lee, chairtnal
or any other member of the executi
committee. which in addition to NJ
Lee, consists of c. f. ID, Marriag
Ed r Prudential, Alex Goliath an
Ernest A. Hodges. 1t is importal
that these exhibits should be brougl
in as soon as possible, for they mu
be ready for shipment by the er
of the fourth week in July at the la
est.
The state of Nevada, Representa-
by the Mining Congress Commissio
will pay the cost of transporting
and from Goldfield. All we have
