With all WEBERS MINING EXHIBIHT Visitors to County Fair Will See Evidences Splendid Prospects of Mineral Wealth Within Sight of Ogden. f - K 1 j I h i I u To the I'tuh State Journal: At the next meeting of the Weber county fair a sjiwial effort Is to be made to ehow in detail the mineral reeourcei of the county anil of that portion of the state tributary to this city. The fact is fully realised that as a community we have not placed as much value umiii the mineral wealth in the hills of northern Utah as we should. Our city from the first has been a railroad center ami of late years has become a recognised manufacturing point, but the mines have received little attention from the local public. Stock in sugar factories, canning factories and lu other manufacturing and mercantile enterprises has been eagerly sought after, but with mining stock it has been different. To dispose of mining stock in Ogden it is necessary to catch the victim unaof wares and slip the certificate stock into his pocket when he Is not watching. In spite of nil discouragements, however, a few determined and hopethe ful souls have gone ahead in fare of adverse 'sentiment, talking They mines and planning success. have spent time and sinnil amounts of money their own and all they could borrow from their friends to and sink run tunnels and cross-cu- ts shafts and, in the language of the prospectus writer, "to do a general mining business. and now they are able to show results. The public will be surprised to learn the extent and value of the mines In the hills within sight of this city. It is the purpose of this exhibit at the next county fair to silence once and for all the croaker the knocker the man who Is always saying "there ni-- no mines around here. It will be 'an opimrtunlty to take an Inventory of our mineral possessions and slxe up the results of twenty Rome of the years of prospecting. inosshaeks are going to get a hard Jolt they will suffer n distinct mental shock when they discover that prospects which years ago they discarded ss valueless are on .the point of becoming productive. But I do not care to call this matter so much to the attention of the disinterested public ns to appeal to those who are more directly interested the prospector, the mine owner, the owner of stock I11 the numerous mining companies oiieratlng In this locality. For them this certainly Is a favorable opportunity. Let them begin now to prepare ' Let them bring In their exhibits. samples of their ores. In such quantity and of such slxe ns will give the public an Idea of the value of their property. T,et the ore exhibit be accom panled by mnps. drawings, blue prints, photographs, reports and assays. If possible to make such a showing that ' of it will no longer be said: "Oh, this is no mining town, There are a goodly number of mining companies having headquarters here in Ogden but operating mines In Nevada, Idaho and other states. These are also Invited to send In exhibits. It Is iHissible that the number of companies and persons living ill Ogden uni devoting their time to mining will constitute another surprise. We really have a larger mining interest than is generally supposed. We shall be able to present exhibits from La Flata, Willard, Kterra Madre, Promontory, Newfoundland, Park Valley arid Farmington, and from the properties in Ogden canyon, Taylor canyon, North Fork, and from other points lit the mountains east of this city. The exhibits already promised Include gold, silver, lead and copper ores don't laugh, we will be there with the goods iron ore, including specular iron, and red and brown hematites; manganese, two or three kinds: phosphate, slate, lime, salt, marble, onyx, asphaltum, petroleum, and fire clay, besides a lot of unidentified minerals that our local experts can show their skill In naming. The fair will be held September 28th, 29th anil SOth, and October 1st four days. The fair association will provide plenty of room and ample faThe cilities Tor displaying the ores. rest. the must do mining people It Is hoped that the exhibits will lie brought In as early as possible; the day before the fair opens will be the best time, so that a little pains can be taken In displaying the exhibits. Flncnrds and labels will be furnished at the fair building. If exhibitors who cnnnot give their personal attention to arranging the exhibits will notify be the undersigned, some way will found of getting the ores out to the fair grounds and returning them to the owners when the fair Is over. It Is also proposed to extend a special Invitation to the mining fraternity of Rail I.a ke to visit the fair and see what Weber county has to offer In minerals and this feature should not 1e disregarded by the owners of mining property. If we expect to convince the world that we have any mines near Ogden, we must begin by convincing our big neighbor on the south. Once more, Mr. Editor, let me say that this Is our golden opportunity. Everyone Is Invited to aid In making the mineral exhibit at the coming county fair a great success. Flense do not wait to be hunted up mid persuaded to help, but notify the undersigned that you will contribute your part to the good cause and plen tjr of space will be reserved for you. O. A.
