A Fine Showing From the Silver
State ut Denver.

State at Denver.
The Rocky Mountain News, published
at Denver, Colorado, says Of the Nevada
exhibit at the Exposition: 1.-THE Legisla-
ture Of Nevada meeting but once in two
years, no appropriation was made for a
representation at Denver. In fact but lit.
tie was known at the time of the proposed
Exposition. Governor Kinkead was there.
fore placed in a dilemma, and after several
months spent in 3 vain attempt to interest
some of the bonanza kings, at last wrote
to Messrs. t, W. Dunn, General Superin-
tendent OF the Nevada Central Railway,
J.. A. Blossom, stock raiser and miner Of
Battle Mountain, and Allen A. Curtis, the
miner and banker of Austin, all of Lander
County, who at one came to his rescue
and agreed to pay all expenses connected
with the proposed Nevada exhibit. They
recommended E. T. George as Commits
sioner, which suggestion was at once acted
upon by Governor Kinkead. and Mr.
George was appointed, thus giving Lander
County the honor Of numbering among
her citizens men who had the welfare Of
the State at heart and possessed enough
public spirit to advance tho funds neces-
sary to give Nevada a representation st the
great Mineral Exposition now being held
at Denver. The time being 80 short the
whole State could not be canvassed or
sampled, and only the most accessible
portions are fairly represented, leaving
the largest and probably the richest por-
ton almost without representation, but
notwithstanding these disadvantages New
ada came forward with one of the most
varied and richest represen tations in the
Exposition. The ores on exhibition repre-
sent nearly all the varieties of mineral pos
sible to mention and are all rich, ranging
from $50 to 1914. 900 per ton. The finest
ruby silver specimen in the building is
from the Manhattan Mining Company's
mines at Austin, Lander County, and as
says 81, 900, and as fine a sample of smelling
ore as is on exhibition comes from Dow
NEVILLE, a recent discovery in a compara-
lively new district. Smelling furnaces are
now turning out thousands of dollars
worth Of bullion from these mines
monthly. Specimens from the Alexandra
taken from a ledge seventy-ave feet in
width. The mine recently sold for
$3.50. 900. Also rich ores from the Cen
tennial mine. Lobos, Jeanette aud other
mines in Nye and Lander Counties. We
predict for the State of Nevada o bright
future and congratulate her on having cit
liens such as Messrs. Gov. Kinkead, F. W.
Dunn, j. A. Blossom and A. A. Curtis,
and can only say that il the next Legisls-
ture does not pass them a vote of thanks
and reimburse thsm for their outlay
which cannot be far short Of 50, 0OO-the
Nevada Legislature should be booted out
Of the State House.

Of Nevada and an ornament to the broth.
