cial Association last Sunday eveuing,
the Colorado Industrial Exposition that
Is 10 be held in New YORK City from
Nos. lst to the 27th was discussed and
a committee appointed to act in con-
nection with the other towns OF the
county and eudeavor to have a mineral
DISPLAY of lear Greek county ores we
believe the Industrial Exposition VIII
proye to be the best form of advertising
the mineral resources Of the county and
stats FIR th. reason that we vii. be the
first state in the Union to make dis
play of the resources Of our common
wealth There will not be thousand
and one things to visit to bewllder and
confuse the visitors! Their thoughts viii
bt reutered on Colorado and her won
derfult mineral wealth. We VIII derive
great benefit from the numerous arti-
cles that will be written by magazine
and newspaper writers and the entire
coat Of the exhibit viii be SO small that
we cannot afford to do other than have
a display from the county, Let US not
only have our high grade bat also the
low grade ores. Ana the wonderful
strides that metallurgists have made IN
the treatment Of low grade ores that
were once considered waste rock lew
wears ago will impress upon our visitors
that our store OF wealth is Tar from ne
ing exhausted Anyone VINO mas beeh
readi ng the magazines or newspapers
for the past wear knows that mining
has not received its just dues and 1t Is
I'D to the mining communities 10 re-
move this false impression. Anu we
know OF no better way to remove II
than bv display of the states re-
sources in the great money center OF
our countov. We are hvlng IN an age
of advertising aud 'he individuai or
community that falls to accept lhls
fundamental fact viii sooner or later
fall py the wavside. The Commercial
Association has appointed comm teee
of three to correspond with the ieadihg
men of the different towns IN the couh-
~ and endeavor to get them together
TO discuss and decide the question OF
minera display. There are many rea-
sons why tie pinlng communities
should get together and solve the prop
lens that.coniront US. Let US get To-
pether, this question concerns every
resident in the comfy and we trust that
miner and mine owner will give this
question serious nonsideraton.
The citizens of Empire are very gaate
full for the way the Siftlngs defended
our town last week. This shows the
true spirit, an injury to one town III
the county should be the concern OF all.
Ralph Salman gave a party to the
children of the town last Monday eve
ming. The youngsters were treated TO
candy. cake, Lemonade, peanuts, etc.
Mr.. Salmon is one of natures noble
men. this is but one OF the many kind
acts performed by him. If there were
more Raph Salmans in the world there
would be more brotherly love. May he
ever remain in our minst.
