SAMPLES OF MINERALS OF THIS
SECTION TO BE DISPLAY
ED IN DENVER

! Ii is being advocated that the people
of this section secure specimens Of
gold from the La Plata mountains to
be placed IN an appropriate show case
with the proper labels on each speci-
men. 1t is the plan to have the ex-
hibit placed in some public and con-
venient place in the Denver L. Rio
Grande ticket office in Denver.
Ii the matter can be carried out
the exhibit of several thousand dol
lars in value will be placed under
the management of J. c. Herr, who
is willing to look after the matter
and see that the proper exhibit is
secured and placed in a beautiful case
and then taken to Denver where it will
be placed where the thousands who
frequent the ticket office will have an
opportunity to see what is going on
in the La Plata mountains.
1t will cost considerable to secure
this exhibit and protect it by insur-
ance or otherwise. The method of
financing this undertaking has not
been agreed upon, but it is likely that
the matter will be taken up by the
boosters of this section and within a
week OF two the exhibit will be ready
for shipment. The mining men Of
this section are very much interested
in this method of advertising the La
Plata mining district and, of course,
every one in this section is more or
less interested in the development OF
the mining industry of this country.
The matter of advertising other sec
tions of the San Juan mining district
by similar methods has been colsii.-
cred for some time, and shoull this
plan of the La Platas go through no
doubt the other districts will under
take methods of advertising thil val
liable mining section and make it the
most profitable of any mining section
in Colorado. All it requires to ac.or.-
plish this Is little outlay Of money
and rienty of push.
A meeting of the mining commit
tee of the board of trade, along with
others interested, has been called at
the request of John c. Herr to meet
at the board of trade rooms tomorrow,
Friday, evening at 8 o'clock, to dis
cuss matters pertaining to an exhibit
from the La Plata district to Denver.
Mr.. Herr is sanguine that the finest
exhibit ever shown in Denver will be
the result.

LOCATION BAD FOR TAFT.

The Taft people were very unfor-
tunate in locating the national con-
vention in Chicago, which is right in
the center Of the Roosevelt territory.
Had the Taft politicians been wise to
the situation they would have located
the national convention at New Or
leans. No wonder the Taft men are
suspicion Of the Roosevelt men. At
an hours warning hundreds Of thou
sands of people can be gathered into
Chicago, parading the streets and yell
ing for the Rough Rider just as the
Illinois people did when Abraham Lin
coin was nominated. The Seward
leaders made the same blunder in To-
eating the national convention of 1850
at Chicago. 1t is claimed thai big,
noisy crowds in these days do not
move delegates to a national conveu-
tion, but If the contest is extreme.
ly close the change Of only few may
decide the matter. 1t is reasonable
to presume that at least few out Of
body Of 500 men can be moved by
enthusiastic demonstrations.
