COMMISSIONERS BUEL IN PARIs.-The
editor of the Reese River RepeiHe has
been shown a letter from Col. David h
Buel to W. F. Leon, of Austin, dated
Paris, June 10th. The Colonel writes;
81 am sorry to say that our ores, maps,
and other things have not arrived, nor
can | learn anything in relation to them.
l supposed that | should have received
the bills of lading, or some other proper
evidence of their shipment long before
this, but | have not been able with all
my diligence to obtain the least infor-
nation as to whether they were for
warded or not. am confident they
have not arrived here, but will continue
to look and inquire for them. The
steamer from Aspinwall will be due on
the I'D of the month, aud it they come
then | will eudeavor TO get them. But
we will have u poor show under the
management of Beckwith, who is more
French than American. will mention
the Ease of Idaho, which sent 10 the
Exposition noble specimens OF ore from
the Poormau ledge, making as grand a
collection as was ever seen from any
mine in the world. Well, they are
piled up with a lot Of samples OF cop
per ore and coal, without so much as
a label to show what they are or where
they came from, and | doubt much
if one in a thousand that looks at
them knows that they are OF any more
value than paving stones. II cannot
do better with our collection, should IT
ever come to hand, | will take steps to
exhibit it elsewhere. You can easily
believe hat | will leave nothing undone
TO show the thousands assembled here
what the mines of Nevada produce. The
Exposition is a splendid success, and
every part of the world is well repre-
scented but the United States, whose
products are badly arranged, and have
the appearance of being tumbled to-
gether to get them out Of the way OF
something more interesting. 1t makes
me internal mad to look ut our depart
ment. There is n consolation and
source of pride to every American, and
that is, our women are the most lovely
in Paris-where the queens of beauty
from every country Of the earth are col
lected-and they won't be tumbled out
of the way by any body. Paris is a
splendid city. ! have been very active
since my arrival, and have seen much
that was admirable, but find it will
take months to see its thousand celeb
rites, to say nothing Of its beautiful
surroundings. | am amazed at the
splendor and extent o fthe improvements
that are going on at present, which will
render it the most magnificent capital
in the world"
