Copper Deposits
'The copper deposits are i'm the
southern portions of the state. There
are deposits of native copper The
largest mining operations i'm low

Mineral and Forest Exhibits.
owe believe our mineral exhibit to
be the most complete and exhaustive
mineral exhibit displayed 10y any
state
Automatic stereopticon This ma
chine shows twenty-four colored
slides continuously Each slide is ex-
planned by appropriate text and the
timber resources, livestock industry
on national forests and destruction by
fire and erosion are here shown Wis
itors.
Erosion model, showing effect of
defoiestation This model applies not
only TO New Mexico but to all forestry
regions of the United States showers
are simultaneously turned ON a min
iature forest and on adjacent defor-
.ested slope A forest examiner in
charge of the exhibit explains and
discusses forest and water problems
.of the country
Fire fighting equipment Methods
.of detecting fires, including towers,
range finders, maps, telephones, hello
graph, tool boxes and tools actually
used to make up this part Of the eX-
.hibit The fire protective organiza-
tion Of the forest service is explained
using the Pecos national forest of
New Mexico as an example.

Fire-lnes, roads, trails, telephone
Lines, ranger station, forest nurseries,
timber sales areas, cattle and sheep
grazing agricultural homesteads, and
water power : possibilities are here
shown. This model is of general in
structive value to other regions as
well as New Mexico
Forage plant exhibit. specimens of
nutritious range plants and plants
poisonous to stock, are exhibited. This
is of especial interest to those inter
ested in the livestock industry.
Photographs, transparencies, maps
and charts The timber resources and
reforestation work, destruction by fire
and erosion on different national for
ests in New Mexico, are here shown.
A large map of the national forests
of the United States is found on the
wall Another wall map shows the
different forest prairie and other
types of land given in New Mexico, A
chart showing timber sold and given
away, stock grazed and land admins
tered to protect water supplies, and
also the money paid TO counties in
New Mexico from the receipts of the
national forests for the benefit of
roads and schools within those coun-
ties, occupies a place of prominence.
The above mentioned models and
charts help convey the Importance OF
conserving the forest and other ma
tional resources of not only New
Mexico but of all other portions Of
the United states Through this eX-
hibit the United states forest service
lis impressing upon each visitor the
vital importance Of systematically
handling the nations forested land
for the present as wen as future gen
erations.
When the fact is remembered that
New Mexico is the newest state in the
union, IT is the more formidable that
both in the credit points and in the
character Of the awards, that the
Sunshine state stands way on to the
top and above such states as Kansas,
Montana, Nevada Utah and Washing
ton.
