EXHIBIT
 AT STATE FAIR

To those who have failed to ac- quaint themselves with the mineral resources of this state of Arizona, the magnificent exhibit at the building of mines under the supervision of Joe " Prochaska, is revelation. Every man, woman and child should spend hours studying this splendid display of mineral wealth. To many this state means only the home of sweeter oranges, better grape fruit, and the other products of Salt River valley. To others it means copper, but to others there is the dream of resources to still be revealed in the shape of vanadium andG cinnabar. Of these new discoveries the exhibit presents many samples.
 The interest in the new gold dis coveries in different parts of the state has encouraged close inspection of the ores displayed in the exhibit and this initial investigation is expected by Superintendent Prochaska to lead to study of mineral conditions and ulti- mate great good.
 Among the exhibits which are ex- pected to produce good of a lasting nature is that of the Roosevelt Gold'' taken from the vast body of low grade ore being developed by l.. W. Baker, a pioneer prospector of the Fish Creek-Tonto mineral zone. This exhibit was brought in by H. Ogle Tunis, manager of the Apache Trail Consolidated Mines company and Phil | Norton, secretary-treasurer of this amalgamation of prospectors' hold ings.
 Roosevelt Gold" is only a part of the interesting new discovery, metals being shown from Gila county. Su- perintendent ProchaSka is particularly proud of the showing of cinnabar | (quick silver) ores from the Roosevelt district This exhibit was secured from the owners of the property, H. H. Bowman and Wm. Reynolds. Cal Warrington is showing some high grade gold ore from the Fish Creek Tonto mineral zone. He has named his holdings the Fairview. His ore, like that of Roosevelt Gold" yields under assay high values that which the naked eye cannot see.
 Miami Consolidated and Inspiration Needles come in for a generous space and the fact that these two companies have just been financed successfully causes them to be of such intesest as to demand conspicuous attention This exhibit consists of large pieces of copper ore reinforced by maps and photographs.
 Yavapai Exhibit
 Grace Sparks, energetic secretary 1 of the Yavapai chamber of commerce is responsible for one of the most impressive exhibits. Here are to be seen gold, tungsten and antimony, all new discoveries of merit. The Jerome copper district is well represented and this exhibit is attracting many to enter the building of mines which ii adjoins One of the unique features of this display is the presence of g rusty and routed ore-barrow, pick and shovel These are grim reminders oi a near tragedy which occurred nine teen years ago. In 1897 miner was caught in a cave-in and for two weeks fought for his life in his prison. He was rescued and still retained his life according to the story. This barrow was found in the Mammoth mine some months ago.
 Oatman Display
 The Oatman district has a splendit location for the display of a remark able exhibit. Ore from forty separat' pieces of property are to be seen ant many express the opinion that Vitl such ore in sight, Arizona will with out doubt soon be classed among tn greatest of precious metal producers Across from the Santa Cruz-Bisbe mines lead and zinc display, which i
