MINERAL EXHIBIT
 AT M|CH|BAN FAIR
Suggestion of Gils County Man to
 Arizona Comnnercial Bodies

Suggestion of a Gils County Man to
 Arizona Commercial Bodies.
 Henry M. Woods, justice of the peace at Rice. Gila county, has ad- dressed to the commercial bodies in the various Arizona cities suggesting the advisability of an Arizona display at the Michigan state fair next Sep tember. MT Woods through a friend who formerly lived in Arizona has se- cured free space for such an exhibit if it can be made and says the fair will be a big one, s10000O being given away in prizes.
 In a letter to the Phoenix board of trade Mir Woods suggests that an az ricultural exhibit might be sent from Phoenix if thought desirable. but in any event he thinks there should be a mineral display from the territory at large. each county, each commercial organization and each mine and min ing district that can be induced to do so sending whatever it can to add to such a collection. Arizona has not able agricultural belts. but the one big industry that spreads over nearly all the territory is that of mining and mining display can be more easily made than any other.
 Ii would only cost the slight ex- pense of d few dollars in each coun- ty for freight charges on the speci mems sent and MT. Woods believes that the speciments could be sold dur ing the fair for enough to pay the freight charges. It is not designed to make notable exhibit. such as I. .l .,. where huge blocks of ore, pigs of cop per bullion, show cases of samples. etc. are seen, but just a collection of mineral specimens showing the va riety and richness of the Arizona mines
 Secretary Welch has referred his letter to J. c. Goodwin of Tempe. who has charge of the mineral display at the territorial fair ground. for such suggestions as he may have to offer.
