NEVADA STATE FAIR.

NEVADA STATE FAIR.
We are in receipt of a pamphlet from
the Board of Directors containing full
particulars Of the State Fair to be given
at Reno under the auspices of the Ag-
ricuItural, Mining and Mechanical So
ciety, commencing October 4th and
continuing for five days. The premi-
ums are numerous and liberal and the
entire enterprise appears te be on a
scale to insure success, exhibitors from
every branch of industry peculiar to
the State being invited to- participate.
AS Eureka is essentially a mining
county, we append the following grades
OF ores for which premiums are offered.

of ledge, depth attained etc., must be
