Mine ShOw in
 Prescott Will
 Be Large One
Offers Opportunity To Small Mine Owner Who Would Dem- Onstrate His Property-Sales Made By Exhibits

On October 18th the Northern Ali- zona Fair will open in Prescott, and there is every indication that 1t will be as pronounced a success as it wa8 last year Gathered under one roof were the mineral exhibits from tho northern counties. To the eye of the visitor, they consisted for the most part of pieces of rock-iust rock. Yet when he read the placards exposed over the displays made by the several counties he has told that "Moiave county has the largest gold mines in Arizona and the largest zine mines in the vest while yet another banner proclaimed that
 "Yavapai county has produced:
 Copper ..- ....s125.OOO.OOO
 silver .. ... . 15,OOO.OOO"
 Which made said visitor sit up and take notice. Even Roekefellow him. self could doubtless be attracted by such figures
 All of which goes to show that the mineral resources of Northern Ari- aona are something worth while ta fact, the copper of Yavapai and the gold of Moiave form not merely an important part of the assets of those counties, hut are the commodities which return the most money to those counties. Navajo. also. while not boosting any great store of metals. has in HHmitable quantity that which belongs in the mineral or miners de. pertinent coal immense beds of it, greater by far than the veins at Gal lup. from which Arizona and Colorado now draw much of their supply
 If such things are worth anything, they are worth telling about - and the Northern Arizona Fair affords the opportunity SO to do It will be the small mine owners opportunity This seems obvious for when exhibiting his wares, he has everything to gain and nothing 10 lose. A case in point: Nearly everyone in Northern Arizona knows of the Congress mine It was the Tom Reed of the 9Os it em- ployed hundreds of men for many years it produced, we are informed, about s1ZOOO.OOO, gross Yet few know that it was fair-tbe St Louis ! Exposition which was at least the
 direct cause of the purchase of the mine by Diamond Jo Reynolds, whose
 money. combined with the energy of
 Frank M. Mumphy, transformed
 good prospect into a splendid mina.
 Diamond Jo did not know anything
 about Yavapai county. nor it's ores,
 until he received an object lesson at
 the St. Louis Exposition. There are
 other Congress mines. other Tom
 Reeds. other silver ore as rich as that
 of the Cerbat range in Mohave, and
 other copper deposits as great as
 those already exploited and proven, and all they need is the publicity ] which brings to the knowledge of such men as Diamond Jo Reynolds
 the fact that this is land of oppor- tunity. All of the miners of all the northern counties. by visiting the fair conferring, comparing notes, and "gettiue together" in the interest of all. could reap great benefit It could, and should. be made the annual meet ing place of prospecting. miner, min

 numbers this year. They learned, ana
