Denver, Aug. 15, 1883
me Jiasonjc associatiou, or more
properly, tho convocation of Hie Gene
ral Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Ma
sons, is the latest sensation in this city,
this week, and makes the third of the
great public events here this summer,
the opening of the Exposition, heiug
the first, and the National Encampment
of the G. A. II. being the second. The
Masonic movements have nut been an
especially prominent allair, as their bu
siness is neccdsariij' of a rather private
nature. They had, however, a pretty
parade on Monday, and a day or two
since, lioper (jommandcry of Judianap
olis, gave a splendid exhibition drill at
the Exposition grounds. The election
of officers resulted as follows :
M. E. Alfred F. Chapman, Massachu
setts, G, G. II. P.
Companion Noble D. Larner, Dis
trict of Columbia, D. G. G. II. P.

Out at the Exposition matters are
now in good running order, and allot'
the regular habitues are dwelling to
gether in harmony. The show is m a
good state of arrangement now, and
additions being made daily. Every
day there is music by Wolffi
orchestra a splendid organization,
and there have in the past weeks been
concerts by Pryoi's Military Band, of
St. Joe, and one day by a Chinese band
of eight musicians'.
A band of twenty Indians from the
Uintah agency has been here for sev
eral days, and every afternoon they
-give a war-dance, scalp dance, or some
other entertainment "in their own pe
cuiiar style." Last Sunday, Chief Jo
seph, who speaks good English, but
who totally disregards grammar, made
a speech in which he called everybody
good, and expressed upon the part of
self and followers the bett of inten
tions as to their future good behavior.
This band i3 a remarkably clean look
ing set of Utes, and includes two
squaws and several "pappooses." a few
years advanced upon the journey of a
copper colored life.
The Exposition is a good show now,
end is growing in attraction. Tho at
tendance is also on the increase, and
the prorpect is that the financial re
sult will be satisfactory. One of your
Nebraska journals gave a splendid no
tice of last year's Exposition which
reads just as well at this time and is
much better reading than any poor
word3 of mine.
In this letter, I will give a slight de
scription of some the exhibits in the
department of ores and minerals leav
ing more for future letters. I will be
giu with the exhibit of
ARIZONA.
The Arizona exhibit, excellent as it
was last year, is much nicer at this
time.- There have been constant addi
tions since the opening day, and now
the display is one of the largest in the
building and combines the rich, the
useful and the bea utiful in an eminent
degree. There are here specimens from
about 500 properties iu weight, nine
tons, and in value some $5,000. One of
the largest counties in the territory is
that of Yarapie. One of the most lib
eral contributors trom tins county is
the United Verde copper mines, which
is one of the most valuable copper prop
erties in the west. The owners have
now some 50,000 tons of high grade
ore in sight. The copper basin is an
other valuable property, which makes
good display. The ores are carbouites,
malakites, assuritcs. red and black ox
ides and metallic copper. The Pine
Spring mine shows some splendid spec
imens also. Here is some horn silver
averaging $20,000 to the ton. The
ownereofthis mine, Garvin & Co.,
have taken out 530,000 in coin, and
have now in sight about 8100,000 worth
of this ore. The Ilouser Smelt
ing and Mining company has
on evhibition with other specimens,
two tons of bullion. Its ore is chiefly
of a lead carbonate and galena nature
From the Tombstone district, there
comes a good display. From the Con
tention mine there is a line of porphy-
reticgold and silver hearing-speci
mens. Within four years this mine has
paid dividends to the amount of $2,
762,501 and is still enjoying a good out
put. The Grand Central mine in the
same district, brings similar specimens
to those from the Contention. This
mine has paid over S900.000 in divi-
dends and yields an average daily out
put of eighty-five tons. The Tomb
stone Mill and Mining company has
with other exhibits,'3ome telluride of
gold and silver averaging $4,000 per
ton, $1,800,000 iu dividends has been
paid, by this company, and the present
year, promises to be more than unusu
oily prosperous. Among other valua
ble properties represented, are the Luck
Sure, Bob Ingersoll. Bunker Hill, Con
tact, A'rompier, u round nog, all 111
Tombstone district. The Lima Consol
idated, the Emerald Old Guard, Santi
ago, Auut bally and Interviewer, are
also represented aud have brilliant
prospects. The Warren district, shows
ores from the Copper Prince and Cop
per Queen mines. The Queen has paid
$800,000 in dividends in the last two
years. Among its specimens is a chunk
of ore which weighs 1,100 pounds and
runs 46 per cent of pure copper. The
Arizona commissioner, Douglas Gray,
is a pleasant gentleman, and a thor
oughly accomplished raineralist and as
sayer. MOKTANA.
Montana is making a splendid show
this jear, which is presided over by
Mr. J. B. Read, a rewspaper man who
is very popular with everybody
The ore comes from a mineral belt
which extends through the counties of
Beaverhead, Madison, Silver Bow, Deer
Lodge, Lewis and Clarke and Meag
her.
Among the valuable, properties in
Beaverhead, is tho Heckla, which pays
a regular dividend monthly, of $15,000-
TheMoultonis represented by some
fine sulphuret ore, iV producing forty
tons of $40 ore each day, through the
extraction of its stamp mills. From
the Anaconda copper mines come solid
blocks of copper glauce. This mine
has a productive capacity of hundreds
of tons dailv.
The Alici mine is developed to a
depth of 800 feet. The monthly pro
duct averages $85,000. The Lexington
produces monthly over $100,000 worth
of ore. For the first six months of this
year the output was $635,720. The
Original has paid twenty-seven consec
utive dividends of $3,000. The Roser
is a property which shows in the face
of the lower t-ast level, and eighteen
foot breast of 842 roasting ore.
The city of Butte, Which by the way,
is a flourishing municipality with first-
class schools, churches, newspers, and
a rapidly increasing population is also

ated the Alici, Lexington, Moulton,
Silver Bar, the Dectur the Auaconda,
and other valuable properties, snafts.
smelters and stamp mills. Last year's
product was $7,2000,000.
I will now mention one or two of the
districts of Colorado which are repre
sented this year leaving others for fu
ture letters.
BOt'LDER COUNTY.
Boulder shows a fine exhibit of ores
under charge of commissioner Rowland
and Courie. Boulder this year occu
pies extri space, an addition being re
quested after the first assigument.
The display includes specimens of
ores, coal, building ana paving stone,
Qre brick etc., and the arrangement
shows good taste. Among tLe samples
is telluride ore from the Keystone
mine, Magnolia district. The Little
Pittsburg, in the same district sends a
sample from a big vein, which gives 50
ounces of gold per ton. The Morning
Glory mine at Snmmerville, sends a
lump assaying $800 per ton.
A sample from the Richmond lode
represents a vein worth -500 per ton in
gold. There is a lump of yery fine gold
from the Buckhorn lode at Jamestown,
