In welcoming them Mrs. Ferguson eald thai
any gathering ot clubmen or women was al

Mrs. Brtndley , president of the Columbui
Woman's club , In response thanked thi
Omaha women for thelr , kindness and liospl
tallty. Twenty-eight years ago Mrs

the depicted the growth ot 'the city. Ii
glowing terms the exposition was praised
for Mra. Brlndley said that It was not enl ;
ft source of pride and oailsfactlon to thi

The fact that men gave so little ot thel
tlmo to Intellectual culture while womei
gave eo. much Mrs. Brlndley lamented am

possible tor men to secure more lelsur
from their business. With a repetition o

Business routine was then taken tip. Mrs

Afternoon Andleiicc ! Lnrnc.
By far the largest audlcnco of the con
gress gathered this afternoon at the sccon
session of the Nebraska Federation c
Women's Clubs meeting. And the mcrl
of the papers and tbo music certainly re
vn' it'of'll'M j * n- ' '
wardba itamply. .
IMrs. Richardson ot Lincoln , Neb. , rea
a paoor on "Town and Vll'agj Improve
tncnt. " SLe told of the work and dUMcul
ties .that beset the first attempt to get tb
town or city fathers to allow women t
have a part In tbo improvements for tb
health and welfare ot the citizens. It I
necessary to keep at them and it Is out
a matter of time , for they soon recogniz
that women with their wonderful Intultlo
are a great assistance. If you are in tl
country , turn your efforts to the makin
ot sidewalks ; It you are in the city , to th
drainage facilities , to the proper proteotlo
from the epcad of contagious diseases. Bi
wherever you faro or whatever your worl
do not bo discouraged.
Mrs. Bnyder ot Plattsmouth spoke o
"Art. " She urged that wherever I
was practicable the women's clut
should devote some time to tin Stud
of art. But for this purpose enl
( rood teachers or well educated pcopl
should bo selected. With a little judlcloti
effort many a wall that Is now bare mlgt
bo brightened and the tone of the famil
raised If over so slightly. For no ono wli
la surrounded by refined paintings or pic
lures can fall to bo elevated by their Infii
once. History and nature well combine
cultivate an artistic nature. In the dccon
tlon of the homes plenty of color should t
used , but bo sure that it la good color , I
lieu ot landscapes or portraits photograpr
of the old masters may be used with goo
effect. Great care ought to bo taken thi
the pictures which adorn the walls ot schoo
rooms are appropriate. If the children wr
attend the school are accustomed to see wild
flowers every day , the pictures or phoU
graphs should bo ot fine pieces of archltei
ture and celebrated statues. And where
Is possible , ' casts ot these statues should t
placed. If on the other hand the chlldre
who attend the schools are city 'chlldrei
the walls should be adorned with landscapi
nnd pictures of flowers. But ot wblchevi
kind they are be sure that they are all goo
Thus an educated movement for a free a
on a democratic principle may bo Inaugi
rated. v
ttcneOt of llcHt Ilooinn.
Mrs. Stoutenborough then introduced Mr
Harrison of York , Neb. , who gave an lnt
cstlng account of "Rest Rooms" in conno <
tlon wllih town and country clubs. She to
of the great advantage It was to the wonl <
ot country clubs to meet the members of ci1
clubs occasionally. How they looked to
ward to these meetings and how they to
their fellow women about them. In th
way the women of far away towns a :
brought In contact with the more advanci
Ideas ot tbo day and the best methods
conducting their clubs. In managing the
meetings boundless patience , tact , with
capital T , nnd an overwhelming desire
better 'the condition of one's fellow worai
must be the guides.
A charming duet by Mrs. Campbell at
Mies Oakley broke the etrnln of this lnt (
lectual feast , after which Mrs , Wilson , tl
dean of the Woman's university at Lincol
read a delightful paper on "University E :
tension.1 She gave a brief sketch of tl
growth of women's colleges and urged th
their work be further extended by the un
vorslty extension scheme. At the presei
ttfme It Is dangerous to stop short of teacl
Ing the best theories. All developme :
should be along the lines of luvestlgatlc
and science. The trend ot women's clul
( today Is toward altruism. All altruistic ei
deavora must be grounded In educating tl
Individual development. Nebraska has taki
a high place In the education of Ua womr
Mrs. Wilson urged that it maintain tb
stand by adopting the extension idea ,
Mrs. Apperson of Tecumseh , Neb. , ga
a most Instructive talk on "District Fc-
cratlon , " and then the federation took i
unfinished work and the reports ot tl
committees. When tbeae bad been made tl
bmceri for the eniulnit year were elected ,

The city fathers appear to be afraid tha

Then the city fathers also point ou
hat the city la skating dangerously nea

WASHINGTON'S RESOURCES
An Interesting Tnlk irlth nn Kxnoil-
tlon CoinmloMoncr from Thnt
Stnte.
"It Is not enpefcled that your people would
bo a well posted on the mineral resources
t the state ot Washington aa of Colorado ,
jouth Dakota , Wyoming or Utah , because ,
n the flrct place , the development of the
mineral deposits of that reuloa has been
otarded and for the further reason that
tie country Is more distant than thosj s ales
uhlch I have mentioned bv comparliou ,
The retarding of the development Is due
more to the tact that we are beyond alt
he other state * except California and Ore-
on than to anything els ? , but ul o becauia
ur ores are essentially smelting ores and
qUlro not only the smelters but railroads
a Well leading to them , " Bald L. K. Arra-
trong , commissioner from the "Evergreen
fate" to the exposition , when our reporter
ailed on him.
" 1 first want to tell you who some of our
ommlssloners are nnd to who'n the Male
s Indebted for this mineral exhibit nnd will
hen be glad to show jou over ilm exhibit ml
xplaln the ores and their rarttta and tell you
omethlng ot the resources and development
t our state.
"Hon. D. B. Ward of Seattle was formerly
vice chairman of the commission , but upon
ho death of our chairman , Hon. George
V. Thompson of Tacoma , Mr. Ward became
ho chairman ; Mr. L. M. Wood of Seattle
s the secretary of the commission and to
htm has ot course fallen a great deal ot un-
caul ted and hard work. Our commission
vos then divided Into several departments
and Captain C. H. Thompson ot Bpokane , a
mining engineer of rare good judgment and
unuBual executive ability , was selected us
commissioner In charge of the mlnetal
department ; I was lelseied to take
barge ot the eastern division , with head
quarters In Spokane , and Mr. N. Rudebcck
ot Everett was selected to represent the west
Ido of the state In the mineral department.
These gentlemen have worked together with
unanimity of opinion and In the toco ot
many obstacles have been able to bring not
only this mineral exhibit out but to expose
o public distribution large quantities ot lit
erature on the resources of the state.
"Miss Fay Fuller ot Tacoma , representing
the 'State , a gentlefolk * ' magazine , ' Is lo
cated In the Liberal Arts building and had
icon very successful In her work for the
magazine and In addition has distributed
bousands Upon thousands of pieces ot liter
ature on the resource ! ) of Washington.
MUs Furicr is ono ot the foremost members
of our Washington state set at the exposi
tion and has. I think , done more than any
one of the others ot us In advertising our
wonderful resources. Mr. Ward alee did
Rood work during his short sojourn at the
exposition , but was called home on private
business.
"Afl you are aware , Mr. D. M. Stewart Is
n charge of the Northern Pacific car and
rou have only to go In there to see what
10 Is doing for our state and Its neighbors.
And while it was impossible to bring more
ban the mjneral exhibit this time , we feel
hat It ono wishes to see the fruit and grain
of our atato they will not bo disappointed
when they have seen this car.
"But I was going to tell you something
of our mineral exhibit and resources and
will have to leave the other industries of
our state to another time. You will see
hat we have arranged Uie ores Into the
classes , and have clas lflpd on values ; as ,
'or ' Instance , you VulF see copper ores In
the gold ore exhibit ) ; this IB because the
gold values In these ores exceed the copper
value. Our ores consist principally of the
ores of gold , sllvdr , copper and of lead. In
addition to these , we have here slate ,
marble , ornamental stone , granite , siliceous
sand , Iron ore. and bituminous coat ; so you
will cee that we have a variety ot minerals
n our state , both useful and ornamental.
"The development of our 'resources becan
In earnest when the hard times of 1893
threw ua on our own resources. The cur
rent of money from the east ceased to flow
Into the unproductive real estate which
the wily boomer had assured the credulous
easterner would produce an hundred fold.
The people were compelled to look > to other
channels and to turn their attention to
other sources of revenue. Mining was then
In Its Infancy and for that matter Is yet ,
but the field was large und the prospects
were alluring and the mountains of the
state wore quickly filled with prospector !
while those left at home provided the funds
necessary to carry on Uio work. At once
began an era of now prosperity and moun
tains were made to give up some of theli
golden treasures , which had been hidden
so long , Development made productive
mines In all parts of the state and the pro
ductive mines made many men rich , so that
now there are more men ot means In the
state than ever before. The developmeni
ot tbo mines created a home market foi
the products ol the forest , field , Orchard ,
factory and store , and the carriage of thcst
goods Into the camp and the ores out made
new and ever-Increasing business for th <
railroads. New homes were built , mort
gages were paid off , bank accounts created
and all really steadily Increased in value.
But the avocation of the boomer Is gone
and property Is sought after by the pur *
chaser who ilwlres to make It productive ,
makes his purchase dlr6ct from the owner
and usually makes It productive Imme
diately.
"Tho centers of population became the
wtnfr homes only ot about halt ot those
who formerly piled their trade in some
other vocation and the mountains became
the summer haunts ot thcte and many more
attracted to the country by the reports of
rich strikes and remarkable values due to
development. In fact , mining became ithe
most popular Industry to our progressive
citizens and the exhibit which wo have
here Is but a partial and meager showing
ot the results ot this enterprise ,
"The mountain chains extend across the
north part of > the state and through Its
center north and south , nnd In all these
ranges are to be found productive mines.
"At the beginning the projects under
taken Were smalt and carried on with the
greatest caution , but as boric progressed
and the mines became richer nnd of cvir
Increasing numbers , outside money began
flowing In , though the nilnlng Is still tlono
on the same conservative line , * and the re
sulting cash from sates ur dividends It put
again Into the mines , fine homes , farm lands
or Into other local Industrie , the people
have lost that tired feeling and are now
enjoying an era of prosperity which with
the combined resources ot the state Is nuro
to follow as a result.
"Tho counties which ere best mineral
ized are Stevens , Okanogan , Kltrltass , Wbat-
com , Skaglt , Snohomlsh , King , 'Pierce ,
Lewis. Cowlltz and Skamanla ; others have
mineral resources but the development In
these counties Is further advanced and the
showing proportionately better. Th first
enterprise to begin the development ot the
mineral resources on a large scale was that
of the Monte Crtsto region , where the
Rockefeller eyndlcato purchased a largo area
nt mineral land on which they put some
expensive machinery and which tl'ty con
nected by railroad with the Puget Sound
country. At Everett they bUHt a very large
Rmelter and In the mines they began de
velopment on a stupendous scale. They
soon began shipping ore and rontluut : ! to
do eo until recently when the Hoods In the
mountains swept away a portion ot the rail
road and work has been temporarily dis
continued. It Is the early Intention to re
build the track at greater elevations nnd
continue shipments. The Old Dominion in
Stevens county is another property vihlch
hfls received a largo amount of develop
ment and which has flomo very high grade
ore. A largo force has recently bern put
to work there and no doubt shipments will
aulckly follow. Another enterprise which
is attracting no little attention Is the work
now being done by the Palmer Mountain
Tunnel company In Okanogan county , where
they have started a 6,000-foot tunnel which
Is now in the bin over 1,200 feet and has
encountered several largo veins of high
grade gold ore. This tunnel will Intersect
sixteen veins ot gold ore now exposed on
the surface , and others , as has been demon
strated , which do not outcrop. The company
has ample means to continue work and are
even now In a position to furnish ore con
tinuously to a mill , though they will not
erect one until they have done much more
work.
"On the Colvlllo Indian reservation , re
cently thrown open to the miners , the Re
public mine and many other valuable prop
erties are being developed , The < Repufcllc
company has erected a plant for the treat-
moot of Its ores , which you will see In one
of the cases and which you will observe
is aninusual occurrence. The plant con
sists of a rock breaker , CornlRh rolls and
vats , In which Is a weak solution of cyanide
of potassium , which Is charged with elec
tricity. The process Is what Is known as
the "Pelatln-Clerlcl" process and it is re
markably well adapted to this class Ot ore
If the preliminary tests and two or three
months' practical run of the plant nro any
Indication. I shall be glad to give anyone
more specific figures on the proes as ap-
piled In the Republic mill It desired.
"Tho beauty of our gold ores , to quote
Mlsa Fay Fuller , Is 'that the associate min
erals pay all the bills. ' This statement Is
absolutely true In many cases And while
we have few so-called free gold properties ,
wo have the same values In the gold of our
ores and the baser mctala pay all expenses
of treatment and transportation with sur
prising frequency. While in other regions ,
where the miner says truthfully that his
ore IB free , ho also must deduct cost ot
machinery and cost of treatment to arrive
at the net value ; wo , on the other hand ,
have gold ores of the same values and have
additional value In other minerals In the
ore to pay all expense * ,
"Copper Is usually accompanied with Rold
and It Is seldom that It occuru atone , though
It docs In ono or two Instances to my
knowledge. Much of this copper ore runs
from 1C to 60 per cent In copper and ship
ments of carloads show a value of 25 per
cant In one Instance. Many of the copper
i deposits now being opened will average
much above this and there Is a steady local
demand for good property ot this character ,
for as you are aware copper Is in steady
and Increasing demand. Our ores of silver
and ot lead vary little from those of the
adjoining country , the principal source of
both metals being from the argentiferous
galena , and what may not be known to
vour readers Is the fact that the Pacific
Northwest produces the richest Mlvcr-lrad
ore In the known world ,
