Professor Frank Stewart and Mr..
Whitehill, of Nevada, are meeting with
great success in collecting specimens
of Nevada ore for exhibition at the APP
preaching Centennial celebration.
These gentlemen have travelled all
over the State, and received a royal
welcome in every camp. The repre-
s~entation of Nevada's mineral wealth
made by them will, undoubtedly,
create a highly favorable opinion OF
that State among strangers, and result
in great goud to those interested. The
'nining men Of California should fol-
low the example set by Nevada, and
see that mines have a fair showing
at the Centennial. There il no time to
lose in the matter. Commissioners
should be appointed Immediately for
the express purpose of collecting and
arranging California's Centennial cab.

SENSIBLE TALK FROM FRED
DOUGLASS.

At Fourth of July celebration ut
Hillsdale, Virginia, Douglass, in
speaking Of the colored people, said:
"Ail we ask is q fair field to work in
and the white man to leave US alone.
We have been injured than we
have been helped by men VINO pro-
fessed To be our friends. They are
lawyers without clients, broken down
ministers without churches, wandering
teachers without schools. They are
great beggars. They have the gift Of
begging down to a nicely. They are
rrest At getting out circulars. They
scatter them broadcast over the land
as leaves before The autumnal gales.
II youarv wUrth anything they will
find out where you live; and IL You
never got . letter before you will get
one now. Fellow-citizens, We must
stop these men from begging for us.
They misrepresent US, II cause the
country to look upon us as q poor and
helpless people,"
ave have had q 'Freedman's Saving
INSTITUTE but we don't want any more.
Our white friends told us that II we
had cents, to bring them to them. and
they would take care of them; and II
we had dollars, or hundreds Or thou
sands, also to bring them to them.
They told US they had q goose and a
golden egg. Yes, we put our millions
there, hut where are they nowr The
men who went into that bank . few
years ago, poor men, are now doini-
oiled In beautiful homes and drive
their fne turn-outs."
We believe 1t was at IN same ceae-
bration that Prof. LApgston, probably
the most lsarnedAnd cultivated negro
In the United States, spoke with equal
earnestAess to his people In avor OF

roc MANY COOKS.

In our advertising columns to-day
will be found . notice from the State
Board Of Centennial Commissioners, to
the efEectthat State Mineralegist White
hill and Prof. w. Frank Stewart are
the only authorized agents of the Board
to collect specimens Of mineral for ex-
hibition at Philadelphia next year.
The following extract from an article
In the Carson appeal fully explains
the reason for the issuance Of this no.
tice:
Some months since tho appeal COM
mented somewhat critically upon the
professions and performings of a GER
tain Mr.. Donaldson, who came this
wsy about two years ago and made
himself known as the authorized agent
of the National Centennial Board for
the collection Of minerals and bullion
specimens from the mining districts of
the Pacific States and Territories. Our
Article called out a (private) reply from
q we'll known and responsible citizen,
%vouching for Donaldson and the cor
rectness of his transactions and glean-
ings. This letter OF Whitehill's does
not impugn Mr.. Donaldson's motives
or denOunce his acts, but does state
that he and Stewart are beginning to
encounter some difficulties in making
collections from the fact that Donald
son, (who we thought had left the Pa
cifc Slope long ago., has been just
ahead of them making extensive col
lections and large shipments. The
fact is also noted that Mr.. Donaldson
requested the White Pine NeWs people
to DO silent concerning him and his do
ings. (He made this singular request
to the editor of the Appeat.)
Now, the fact of the matter Is this,
namely:
D~onaldson's credentials represent
him to be- Collector General OF
the National Board. What specimens
he gets are to go into a National Cabi-
net, along with q great mass Of ores
