FINE MINERAL EXHIBIT

FEATURES OF MINING INDUSTRY
WILL ATTRACT ATTENTION
AND CAPITAL. F

The Occur d'Alene district should
be the big feature Of the Idaho mining
exhibit at the Panama exposition, just
as the Idaho exhibit as whole Is ax-
pected to be the star attraction in the
mining and metallurgical building,
which will contain the exhibits from
all parts Of the world. There is moth
ing lacking In the way Of mines and
minerals and mills and methods OF
mineral treatment. and all that Is ne
cessary is cordial cooperation on the
part II the big operators and the peo-
pie Of the district generally with the
representative Of the Idaho commits
sion in carrying out in detail the plans
for the mineral display. Edward
Schwerd, who has charge Of the min
eral department at the Panama expo
sition for Idaho, has been in the dis
trict two weeks and has accomplished
a great deal toward having the dis
trict creditably represented. He has
visited the big mines Of Mullan, Can
yon creek and Nine Mile and will
probably complete his work In this
section today when he will take in
Osburn and Big Creek. and thence to
the Wardner- Kellogg section.
Plan Of Display.
For the purpose Of showing the me-
tallic and geological structure, speci.
mems are being taken from each level
Of the mines with the enclosing rock.
to be accompanied by notatlons on
geology, timber water, economic mine
operation, etc. The smaller proper ties
will, as far as practicable, be treated
In the same manner.
Ore treatment will be clearly DEM
onstrated by flow sheets Of every mill
accompanied by samples Of the pro-
duct at various stages Of the operation
from the mill feed to the flotation tall
ings. ~
Models Of Mills.
Mr. Schwerd's plans include perfect
reproductions in papier- -mache Of the
mills and mine buildings, showing the
trolley lines, tramways and all the sur
face accessories in connection with
mining and milling. including also ex-
act typographical reproductions OF the
adjacent mountains. all In the exact
colors of the original. In fact. his plan
contemplates exact duplicates In min
iature OF the mines and mills To car
ry out this feature, which will be the
most striking and effective In drawing
attention to the Idaho exhibit, 1t will
he necessary for the mining compan-
les to contribute small sum. While
there Is no definite information on the
subject, 1t Is safe to assume that they
will do so, for they have never failed
to respond with financial assistance for
the public good.
Assemble Exhibit At Wailaes.
The exhibits from the various mines
Of the district will be assembled at
Wallace for shipment to San Francis
co, and this involves little assistance
from the local board Of trade which
Mr. Schwerd feels certain will be given
him. His assistant, Earl Shannon,

time after his departure closing up
the work and having the ore sent to
this city. Some one here must re-
ceive It and store It safely and see that
It is promptly shipped when the time
comes. This he expects the board Of
trade to look after. He has received
this assistance in every other section
Of the state and he hopes to make arr
rangements here so that there will be
no hitch in delivering the exhibit after
It has been prepared by him and his
assistant for shipment
Idaho Has Good Location.
Mr.. Schwerd says he has been stc-
cessful In securing desirable location
