A Member of the World's Tail Committee Commit-tee Invites Utah Miners to Make an Exhibit. EEAL ESTATE AND BUSINESS. The Day on the Exchange What the Contractors and Builders are Doing-Minor Doing-Minor News Notes, Colonel Mark L. McDonald, .commis-sioncr-at-large of the World's Fair, left Salt Lako last night for his home in Santa liosa, Cal. He stopped here to encourage the mining men to begin now and prepare a great exhibit of minerals and ores of Utah for the fair. Commissioner McDonald was seen by a Times reporter prior to his departure and spoke enthusiastically of the exposition expo-sition of which he is one of the prominent promi-nent workers. : The gentleman has for years been interested In mining, and in this industry he recognizes an opportunity opportu-nity to make such a show that the United States will be proud of. Mr. McDonald says if all the states will assist as-sist in making an exhibit of the mineral resources within their limits, the world will be astonished at the magnificent display. In order that the industry may receive proper recognition and location, lo-cation, a building will be constructed especially as a repository for all such exhibits. When the committee meets in Chicago on November 18, the plans for the buildings will be submitted and action will be taken in the matter and the structures erected without delay. i he idea prevails that there will be some sort of a contention between the national committee and tho local aboard but the colonel says all contlicts will bo averted and the heads of the fair will work harmoniously to establish the exposition ex-position on a substantial basis. Commissioner Com-missioner McDonald is of the opinion that the coming fair will result in being the greatest exhibition held in the world and that foreign visitors will be amazed when they see what the youngest nation na-tion on the globe can do. Wherever the colonel has gone in the interest of the fair be reports the people of the various states already engaged in taking tak-ing preliminary measures in view of arranging exhibits that will greatly assist in making the show a success. The mining committee will convene in Chicago in November, and then proceed pro-ceed to Philadelphia to confer with the chairman, John W. Woodside, Esq., of that city. After soliciting exhibits from the principal mine owners in Pennsylvania, the committee will visit the southern states and conolude their tour in the western countries. The committee will be in Salt Lake some time in December, and hope to meet the mining men and arrange for a splendid display from the rich mines in Utah. The mining men of this territory terri-tory are energetic and do not propose to occupy a back seat in this important matter, and will inform the visitors that they can expect a mineral exhibit that will rank second to none at the fair. Such a display would establish a wide spread reputation for Utah as a mining country, and invite investors in mines to place their capital here, and thus assist in the development and give an increased impotuB to the constantly growing Industry, At the Exchange.
