TT was funny to hear the big min

OF salt Lake They, Of course, knew
about the mineral wealth Of the dis

large enough to stage the big exhibi-

The advent of the Nevada mining
man and promoter was the talk on the
streets yesterday. While Mr.. Richard

where, he says that he has persistently
said that Salt Lake win get the first
chance and he hopes the first chance
viii be accepted. He says that he has
put Salt Lake up against San Francisco
and hopes Salt Lake win win out.
