MELLIS MINERAL DISPLAY. Oregon Gold Nuggcti Attract Much Alien Hon at Buffalo. Systematic effort to convey practical In formation both, to the savant and the average sight seerer, Is the feature which most Impresses in Oregon's splendid ex titbit In the minion building. Commissioner Frederick It. Mellis, of Baker City, who has had charge of the Installation of this exhibit, has seen to it that the different specimens ate nut' only properly classified, but that each sample bears In plain legible type a label telling what it is, where It came from and other Information concerning It. Calculated to arouse one's cupidity, is an array ot gold nuggets, one of the most Interesting features of the exhibit. These range In value from $i to 6oo each, and, with the exception of one small gold brick, are virgin gold. For those who de sire practical information, large chuncks of ouartz are displayed on a massive cen ter table, each specimen carrying a label which gives the name and location of the mine from which It came, the width of the ledge, the value of the ore and other In formation applying to that particular property. The walls are lined with glass cases containing thousands of attractive specimens. At Saturday night's reception hi the mining building, Oregon played a promi nent part. Commissioner Mellis pre sented each guest with a handsome souvenir of the occason, the memento be ing a jewelry casket containing rich speci mens of ore from Oregon mines. Oregon has not only completely In stalled Its mineral exhibit, but of all the states It Is the first to announce complete Installation In every department In which it makes a showing mines, agriculture, horticulture, forestry and education. H. E. Dosch, superintendent of all the Ore ton exhibits, has been the recipient of many congratulations on account of the celerity with which the Installation has been accomplished, but In acknowledging them he simply says: "Oh, that's the way we do things out In Oregon." Buffalo Courier. Attempt to Form a Copper Trust. Press dispatches of recent date report that well authenticated advices from New York are to the effect that conferences among the officers of the Amalgamated Copper company have been held In Wall street for the purpose of arranging for the Increase of the Amalgamated Copper company's stock from $75,000,000 to i5S,ooo,ooo. It Is now propsed to carry out John D. Rockefeller's plan to secure control of all of the Important copper mines In the United States. To do this It will require eventually a stock Issue of $$00,000,000. As a result of a conference William G. Rockefeller, secretary of the Amalgamated company, sent out a notice to stockholders to attend a special meet Ing of the company to be held at Jersey City, June 6, to take the necessary actloii to authorize a stock Issue. The new stock w ill be used to acquire the Boston & Montana Copper and Consolidated Silver Mining company and the Butte & Boston Consolidated Mining company. Public Waterlog Trough. One of the most commendable acts done by the city recently, Is the establish ment of a large round drinking tank for horses in the depot square, opposite the Griffin hotel. This Is connected with the water main and arranged so as to feed automatically, but cannot overflow, as a drain pipe carries off the water when It reaches a certain height. The next thing to do In connection with this Improvement Is to prevent the band of Sumpter's med dlesome youngsters from filling up the tank and pipes with stones and mud, as they commenced to do before the same had been in use an hour.
