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. Companion David F. Day, New York, G. G. K. Companion Joseph P. lloruor, Louis iana, U. jr. D. Companion Reuben C. Lcminon.Ohio, U. Treasurer. Companion Christopher G. Fox, New York, G. G. Secretary. Companion Thomas McF. J'atton, Oregon, G. G. C. H. Companion Benjamin F. llallcr, Ten nessee, ti. U. 1. b. Companion Roger F. Woodbury, Colorado, G. (J. R. A. C. Recess. "William II. Mtyo, Missouri, G. G. M. 3d Veil. Lansing Burrows, Kentucky, G. G. M. 2d Veil. John J. Sumpter, Arkansas, G. G. M. 1st Veil. 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 great mining centre. Here are situ 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.
