MECHANICS FAIR, SAN FRAN
CISCO.

We'are in receipt of copy Of the
advance sheet Of the Mechanics Fair
Daily, which will be published during
the exhibition at the Mechanics Insti-
tute, San Francisco, by Messrs Dewey
& Co. This is the tenth annual ex-
hibitieu of the Institute, which was
organized in 1865, under the auspices
of the mechanics and manufactures of
San Francisco for the purpose of ex-
hibiting their wares and inventions.
1t will be held in the Pavilion erected
in 1874, and materially enlarged and
improved in many details for the en-
suing Fair. The space under roof
exceeds lS0,00 square feet or about
four and half acres, exclusive of the
horticultural garden, which occupies
81. 500 square feet additional. This
immense structure will be brilliantly
illuminated evenings during the Fair
by over 800 gas lights. The Fair will
be formally opened next Tuesday. and
will continue open at least one month
after that time. Thousands of visitors
attend the exhibition annually, and un-
doubtedly may persons from Nevada,
wEo visit the metropolis of the Pacific
on business or for pleasure, will, with
in the next month, avail themselves of
the opportunity the exhibition affords
to examine the many labor saving in
ventions and articles of vertu arranged
in the Pavilion for their study and adj
miration. Visitors should make the
most of the present exhibition, as it is
generally understood that.iu eonsidera-
ton of the Centennial, the Mechanics
Institute will hold no exhibition next
year.

A special from Bismarck says the
Indian troubles are not likely to be
confined to the higher Missouri country.
The dissatisfaction among the Indians
in the vicinity of Bismarck may prove
most serious. Last evening man
named Robert Henry was murdered
about two miles from Fort Abraham
Lincoln, and stock stolen. On Thurs
day night the Indians appeared at the
Fort and ran in parties of Sioux. They
had dance at the Landing Rock
Agency, in the course of which they
rode into the quarters of the military
commander and trampled the blankets
of the camp under the horses feet in
order to provoke collision.
A special from Clusters command in
the Black Hills says that General Crook
finds only about 200 miners in the
Hills, and a part of these left on the
18th for Fort Laramie. By the 18th
all the miners will be on the way ont
of the Hills. Spotted Tail, on seeing
the valleys broken by bitches and pros
pect holes. addressed the miners at
their last meeting, claiming that faith
had been broken with the Indians.
They will demand $1,000, 900 damages
when they sell the Hills. Surveyors
have detised the gold bearing region
to be ninety miles north and south and
forty miles east aud west.
A special from Baltimore says the

more westward.
