west Are Features

The annual meeting of members of
the Los Angeles chamber of mines
will be held today between end 5
p. m. All mining and oil men and
their friends have been invited to at
tend the meeting. There will be
cigars for the smokers and a bowl for
those appreciating the good things of
life. The new mineral exhibit hall
will be thrown open for inspection on
the date mentioned. A number Of
handsome plateglass cabinets specially
designed and constructed to display
mineral specimens to the best advan
tage are now being installed ana
dressed with specimens, and it is
expected that the mineral exhibit COM
mittee will comp etc its labors in time
to have all specimens available for
exhibition, properly CLASSIFIED and
labeled prior to the meeting.
AS result of the pubic spirited
cooperation of the railroads operating
in the. southwest and Mexico, Which
are carrying all specimens consigned
to the chamber of mines by freight
free of charge, it is anticipated that
it will not be long before Los An
geles will have on display a thoroughly
comprehensive exhibit, representing all
the minerals and geologic products OF
west
Mining men generally throughout
the southwest are invited to commune
cate with the chamber of mines in re-
gard to having their districts repre-
sented at this permanent exhibit No
charges whatever are made to the eX-
hibitors, and the railroads will carry
specimens by freight free of charge,
so every mining district in Arizona,
Nevada, California, New Mexico and
Mexico should be represented.

paper men referred to shall know
to whom the various samples are
submitted in order that there may
be no comparing of values by the
various assayers before the commit
tee is ready to report the results of
the assays made under their direc-
ton.
Willing to Pay Expenses
Under this arrangement 1 will pay
all expenses of securing the ores
and the assaying of the same, as it
is my desire to determine whether l
and my associates are being i'm
posed upon by either or both the
fire and chemical assayers who
have secured workable values from
these ores during long periods of
tests.
The above tests should determine,
to the satisfaction of all fair-mind-
ed individuals, whether there is any
workable values in the rock under
consideration and whether there is
any merit in the improved process
ses being used on these and other
refractory ores which have shown
large values under such treatment.
In connection with the above
proposition l will state that funds
have been subscribed for equipping
small plant or plants for treat
ing these refractory ores in ten ton
lots by one or more of the chemical
processes and it is expected that the
ores will be brought to this city at
q very early date and that the tests
will be made in the quantities
named, which will, for all time,
settle the question as issue; but
should there be any failure in the
carrying out Of this arrangement
It is then my earnest desire to
proceed along the lines above in
dicated, at my expense, as in my
twenty-five years of doing engineer
ing and similar work and financing
enterprises have never been ac-
cused of being connected with any
questionable business proposition
and cannot afford to submit to any
such inference being drawn at this
time. Very respectfully submitted.
