the mineral resources of Southern
Oregon and the northern counties OF
California. The display will be so
arranged as to give every district and
individual displays in the district
display, all possible publicity. The
entire population of Grants Pass
should see this mineral exhibition as
it will afford them pleasure now

day be the means Of adding large
wealth to this city and county.

eral will be most comprehensive and
extensive. While there will be exhibits
of rich specimen ore and large dis
