Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1916-05-07


the great mineral states will not be
questioned by the visitor to the famous
commercial mineral display that had
world of advertising at San Francisco
and which has been installed in the
west annex to the capitol building and
is now ready for inspection.
When the Panama Pacific exposition
closed, the exhibit, which was collected
by Edward Schwerd, was transferred
to Boise and Mr.. Schwerd, whose hand
ling of the exhibit at San Francisco
received SO much favorable comment,
I was employed by the Idaho Mining as
ISOLATION to design and install the ex-
hibit in Boise and the cost of the work
was paid by the association and the
commissioners of Ada county. The
installation of this exhibit here not
not only means a great deal to the
mining men for purposes of reference,
but will be of much benefit to Boise,
as 1t will attract many visitors to the
city.
The mineral display is systematically
arranged in lines of tables and stands
representing the different ore products
and resources of the state in separate
classes and is superior in quantity,
quality and variety of commercial min
erals exhibited to that any other state
HAD on exhibition at the exposition.
The purity of Idaho's commercial ores
is of special notice.
In addition to the magnificent ex-
hibit of lead, zinc, copper, gold and
silver ores, all admirably classified, the
exhibit contains an exceedingly inter
esting display of the tungsten minerals
such as scheelite, wolframite and hui

minerals, such as molybdenite, nickel,
nickel cobalt, etc, for which there is
such an enormous demand at the pres
emit time and which command such
never before heard of prices.
The non-metallic minerals are also
well represented, including a fine dis
play of phosphate rock, potash rock,
coal, asbestos and Portland cement
minerals.
The exhibit represents practically
every mining district in the state and
is being looked after by o. P. Hender-
shot, the secretary of the Gem State
Fair association.
