NEW EXHIBITS.
One of the most interesting fe.
lures of the Fair this season, and r,
markable from the fact that it stand
alone, is the exhibition of miners
specimens from Northern Montan
from sections tributary to Bentol
These specimens were brought up b
MI. Jsre Sullivan, of that city, an,
were gathered on a few days notice
They consist of magnificent blocks 9
coal from Castner's, Deep Greek
Whoop Up. and other points, an
remarkably fine silver bearing ore
from the Barker. Maiden, and tn
numerous mines contiguous to tn
Northern metropolis. Benton is t,

VEHICLES.
The effect of railroad communities
ten with the east is evidenced at the
Fair in the extraordinary display o
wagons, carriages and farm nipple
ments of every description manu-
featured in the States. Among these
exhibits is the magnificent array Of
wagons and carriages, manufactured
by the well-known Studebaker &
Co., at South Bend, Indiana. The
mountain buggies and carriages
shown by this enterprising firm at
tract the attention of every visitor.
They are manufactured expressly for
our mountain roads, and for beauty
of design, strength and elegance of
finish. they cannot be excelled. Their
farm and freight wagons, provided
with the patent improved steel
skeins, seem peculiarly fitted for our
roads, and command the admiration
of all who examine them. MI. P. E.
Studebaker, the treasurer of the COM
pany, and his son are on the grounds.
These gentlemen propose to establish
agencies in the Territory and on the
line of the Northern Pacific further
west for the sale of their wagons and
will shortly visit Butte with
that end in view. Their enterprise
in providing such an attractive fea-
ture to the fair ELECTS this favorable
notice from your correspondent.
Other eastern manufacturing firms
may possibly find it to their advan,'
age to recognize the fact that Mon
tana is a great consumer of manu-
featured articles and it stands them
in hand now to place their best be-
fore the Western people. With the
advent of railroads in our midst the
day of palming off slip shod, and
goods of every description
upon our purchasers has passed away
THE PRESS
Of the Territory, outside Of Helena,

oondent of the MINER. While each
representative is doubtless under obi
cations to the Fair Association for
,onrtesies received there is no little
expressed by many of
hem of the lack of reportorial facili-
les upon the grounds. There is no
place set apart in which they can
AXE notes OF write them up. Their
oencillings must be done, if done at

This is not mentioned in a
ault-inding spirit, but as it is ex-

ward building up the association and
id it in displaying the productions
# the Territory and thus adding
to the common good, the
Usual accommodations provided for
he press by other Territorial and
State Fair Associations, should be
extended to reporters here. The AS
ISOLATION seems disposed to do every
hing in it's power to make the Fair a
'uccess in every particular and this
omission of duty is probably due to
N oversight on its part which doubt
