The work of organising and arranging the affairs of the National Mining and Industrial Exposition of 1884, is going on bravely.

As is well known there is a radical change ip the method from that employed in the flnrt year of the institution, and that of 188 S. The affairs during those years were in the hands of. tbs original stockholders, who formed the management. The objection to this in the minds or many who were otherwise warmly in in the object and success of the enterprise, was that the exposition was not sufficiently a that to make the enterprise In the letter and the spirit, the control should be in the hands of the public. Among the commissioners actively engaged in the exhibition of last year was Mr.

Irwin Mahon. Mr. Mahon was representing Pueblo county, and his interest In that oounty sines remains unchanged. But in looking after the interests of his county, be looked as well, to the interests of the country and, grasping the Idea expressed In the objection then made as to the of managing affairs, he at once set to work to provide, or at least suggest, a remedy. In this he was Joined by a number of the i-ommissloners, prominent siuoug whom were Prof.

R. O. Old, of Colorado; Prof. Bailey, of Wyoming, urn! Commissioner William Holly, of Colorado. These gentlemen subsequently tiecanie the officers of the Exposition association, by which organization the work of preparation Is now going on.

The new regime has been fully explained the people, and by them is doubtlivw. well underwtood. Briefly stated It Is that Colorado's counties and the states and territories which are geographical neighbors to Colorado our chase space for their which means also, that the who make these purchases wIU hold a controlling Interest In the affairs of the exposition. Thua the affairs of the great show will be no longer in the of the original stock but will pass into the of the at large. the only tde jectiou which was ever raised again the enter prise.

The gentlemen who have plan in charge feel that the people have forced the matter in present state into their They present this plan which seems to a good one. and If it should fail to people will have themselvt blame therefor. Tula is no scheme or fraud but a tlon. The Value of an a of providing a splendid system of education- a gigantic object In fact- a mammoth advertisement for ail port lona of the nmurty exhibiting, and as tin means of strengthening and cement lug the fraternal the sections of the country, has been many times commented and fully understood. The of those who are now working for the success of the ellu.rs.rlse rtn brace main new While the basis of the exhibition will of necessity tie as herrUvfore, the ores and minerals, a greater effort will be made towards adding variety to the I of the show by a Urge exhibit lon of agricultural articles, fancy decora live and floe art But the great addition will he In the exhibition of cattle and blooded stock, which to he an elaborate featurr.

Judging by present Colorado Btock has already fully endorsed the new regime and will lend material aid to the enterprise. The Colorado 8 tale Horticultural Society, the tkhool of Mines and tale Board of Agriculture have followed in the same line of emwuragevnent. It may he confidently predicted that the mining Interests will ha more fullv represented than before, and It Is to be hoped that cattlemen, sheep and will Individually do all In their power hi bring about success. The delegation from the Wyoming Assembly, which Prof. Bailey brought To Denver, added much to the enmurargemerit shown by other organizations, and all goes to show that there Is a strong Indication that this years' exposition will be more of a than predecessors, ami that Its permanency Is assured.
