EXPOSITION

Geo. w. Schneider, mining di-
rector Of the great Colorado Indus
trial Exposition to be held in the
new Grand Central Palace, New
York city, from November 1st to
9th, returned from Patoro Mon
day and made an address at city
hall that night. He was very fa-
vorably impressed with the camp
as destined to become one of the
largest gold producers in the coun-
try. He spoke of the benefit that
the mining camp would be to the
valley in the way of home mar
ket for the ranchmen and the gen.
eral business of all. But this
being low grade ore district, it
needs large capital to develop the
mines and build mills.
1t is to the East we must look
for this capital. How best to ad-
vertise our mining, agricultural
and other industries is the ques-
tion which Prof. Schneider is now
discussing in Il trip over the state.
He is director of the mining seo-
tion of this great Colorado Expo
sition, which is centrally located in
the metropolis, where more people
pass every day than the whole
population of this state. One thing
that will attract the attention of a
continent will be radium taken
from our mines that will be more
Illuminating than the Statue of
Liberty Enlightening the World"
One of the floors will be devoted
entirely to the mining industry Of
Colorado. The displays will not
only be made attractive to the eye,
but educational in that a deter
mined effort will be made to bring
before the investors of New York
and the East the fact that the min
eral resources Of this state will yet
yield hundreds of millions of dol
lars and that opportunities exist
for legitimate and liberal returns
on investments in the mineral sec
tions of this state.
Colorado's mineral production for
1912 is officially stated to have
been more than $3S,OOO,OOO. In
Colorado practically all the princi-
pal minerals of the world are to be-
found. No other state has within
its borders such vast and varied
undeveloped mineral resources now
awaiting capital and enterprise.
The opportunities for conserva-
tive and intelligent investments in
the mining industry of Colorado
are practically unlimited. New
York city is the one place, above
all others, in this country where
Colorado should present such op-
portunities.
The whole OF the balcony of the
Grand Central Palace, approx.
mately $4,000 square feet of space,
will be devoted entirely TO the
mineral exhibit.
Not only is it proposed to ex-
hibit specimens. but it is planned
to construct models and relief maps
showing the topography OF the
country; also miniature mines in
operation and by moving pictures.
