THE STATE FAIR.

The Second Annual State Fair of
Nevada will open at Reno tomorrow
and close with the end of the week.
Judging from the accounts of the local
press regarding the extensive prepare.
tons that have been made, the enter
prise gives promise of being highly
successful. The speed programme,
which Is always the most attractive
feature OF all fairs, is by far the best
and most liberal aver presented be-
tween the Missouri river and the Sierra
Nevada mountains. The purses alone
aggregate more than $4,000. Nevada's
collection of Centennial ores are also
to be exhibited by Messrs. Whitehill
and Stewart. This of itself will go far
towards justifying a visit to Reno by
persons residing in the remotest Sec
tons of the State. Short horned cat
tie, fat full-wool sheep, improved
horses, lazy waddling porkers, and an
endless variety of agricultural products
will likewise be there in great pro.
fusion. In short, Nevada's great and
varied u are to be on exhlbi.
ton at Reno during the present week.
That the magnitude of the showing
made will assonish, if not maze all
visitors, We have not the slightes

w. III. Root, a scientific aud practi-

ly of its general prospects. Following
is Mr.. Roots statement as given to the
independent:
The quantity of land available for
mining purposes Is limited, owing to
its insufficient grade to use water ia
advantage. Fine gold is diffused
through the gravel deposits of the diff
ferent treams and ravines, which, by
thorough practical tests, yielded from
% cents to 81 per cubic yard.
The geological formation of the
country Is ieldSpatic granite, gneiss,
chlOrite, ferruginous and silicious
states. There are no fissure veins but

its branches heading in limestone and
cutting through the granite and gneiss,
running eaSterly, its present bed is
covered with well worn hard quartz
gravel from 3 to 10 feet in depth and
from so to 500 in width, including bars
of gravel elevated from 10 to so feet,
which would Weld from rs cents to
81 so per cubic yard, but the lack Of
water and a light grade will always be
a serious drawback TO to the working
ofthese deposits. Spring creek, about
10 miles north of French creek, is
largely held by miners, having a
slate bottom with more water and bet
ter facilities for working. North of ii
again are Castle and Rapid creeks.
Castle creek is the south fork of Rapid
creek, the upper end of which is all To-
Gated by miners, and more work has
been done upon ii than upon any other
creek. There were at one time about
$50 men in the hills, hut, in compli-
ance with military orders, they have
all left.
Mr.. Root il satisfied that an average
of IS per day would be the maximum
for an experienced miner in tho most
favorable localities yet discovered. The

ADDRESS OF THE MASSACHU u.
HETTS LIBERAL REPUBlL.
CANS.

The State Committee of the Liberia
Republicans of Massachusetts has is
sued an address to the people, upon
the political issues of the hour, and
upon the duties OF Liberal Republi.
cans in the premises. 1t is a manly
outspoken, ringing document. 1t de-
clines to accede to the earnest request
of Vice President Wilson and others,
to return te the Republican fold. The
address alludes to the causes which in
1872 compelled them to separate from
their former associates, and the mo
tives which influenced them at that
time, and then presents a brief sketch
of some Of the most fragrant acts OF
corruption and ~malfeasance which
have since then distinguished Grants
administration, and conclusively dem
onstrate that the reasons are now
more potent than eUer for the cOntinu-
ance of that hostility to the tniquity and
fraud against Which they yebelted IN the
last presidential campaign. Upon the
currency issue the address declares
that neither party is as sound as
their resolutions declared in 1872" but
expresses the belief that the people
are becoming so enlightened as Il force
both parties, ere long, to a financial
policy that will reverse that which has
long prevailed and proved s. disas-
trous to all the business interests of the
country. The attempts of the Repub-
lican press to mitigate the censures
against the Administration knaves at
Washington for the reason that there are
and have been Democratic knaves in
New York and elsewhere, is pointedly
rebuked.
The address says that the principles
Of the Republican party, SO far as can
be gathered from its action, "are mo-
nopoly and usurpation, the centraliza-
ton of power, and the invasion of per-
sonal rights"
The address continues:
$50 far as cer the State affairs
Of Massachusetts, the independent
voters, who last year reversed the pO-
litical engine and trusted to Democratic
hands the executive branch of the
Government, have no cause to regret
their action. Governor CASTOR has
given US the best possible evidence that
1t is neither dangerous nor unwise to
confide power to that portion of our
fellow citizens who have long been in
the minority"
The Liberals of Massachusetts will
continue to act with those who go for
economy and reform in the Govern
ment.

OPENING OF THE BANK.

In our te~legraphio columns will be

their hinges, cheer after cheer went

some time, but at the close of the days

At was indicated by the S%ENTINEL's

By9:30 o'clock ltis morning a crowd

The President, Directors and members

the appointed hour the doors were

crowd, which at once made a rush,
blocking the space outside the

portion of those present were there as
lockers on, though the services of the
tellers were at once called MO requisi-
ton and the counters were lined with

flags are ~mastheaded on California

Meigs' wharf. Coin is now flowing
both ways al the Bank OF California.
Large amounts are being deposited,
and it il thought that the deposits dur
ing the day will equal or perhaps ex.
coed the payments. The best of feel
ing prevails.
The Bank OF California remained
open until l o'clock p. NJ. one honr be-
yond the usual time Tor closing on Sat
urday. The receipts during the dav
exceeded the disbursements by about
three-quariers of a million. The bank
officials express surprise at the result,
%supposing that the actual needs of de-
positors would have caused n greater
demand on the resOurces of the bank.
They state that the receipts OF the day
were nearly equal to the average Sat
urday's business, drafts being much
less than the average. 1t is expected
that the demand will he greater on the
opening of the stock boards Tuesday,
