GOOD OPPORTUNITY.

The directors Of the Dallas Stste Fail
are making vigorous Efforts to hsve each
county in the state represented at their
exposition next fall, and TO this end have
set aside s great deal OF space in order to
allow room for separate exhibits. The
fsfr has scored triumph at each Of It's
two meetings, and many persons have been
drawn there from other states. TIE next
meeting promises to be still larger, and
many capitalists and home seekers will
attend with the expectation of finding
there an epitome, so 70 speak,
OF the states resources. 1t is
important that Tsrrant county
should be we'll represented. THE GAZETTE
hopes that the farmers throughout the
country will send specimens OF the fruits
snd vegetables gro wn upon their farms,
that whatever factories there are
will send samples of their
works, that whatever minerals
there are will be properly dlsplsyed-ia
short, that there will be su.h an exhibit
as will show what inducements the county
offers to investment and to those who de
sire to purchase homes. A committee
should be organized st once to take
the matter in charge 50 that those desir-
ing 70 send articles may know through
what channel to send them in order to
have then properly classified and placed
with the other exhibits from the county.
These suggestions apply to other coun-
ties besides Tarrant with equs, force, end
i: is hoped that they msy be acted upon
By many. The opportunity ofered is
good one.

The advantages to accrue to the PEG.
pie OF the entire country west Of the Mis-
sis-lpDi river by establishing harbor or

must De patent to every mind that has
given the sui ct careful consideration.
The seton Of Congress heretofore ID

centratirg the efforts Of the representa-
tives of the people upon given point, an
appropriation can be obtained sufficiently
lsrge to secure harbor on the south

rate with the vast interests II this rapidly

the commerce Of this section to seek the
markets OF the world by the
SHORTEST AND MOST DIRECT ROUTE.
To this end you are cordially invited,

A Man Of Millions.

A grizzled veteran of the golden
days of '49 was yesterday, says the
Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise, telling a
wealthy Comstock acquaintance a
dazzling story of quartz vein which
he once sa V aud which he could again
find s'blindfolded on tie darkest night
that ever blowed." if he were down at
the head of Steep hollow, Nevada
County, California. The quartz
was ..all wired and hooped and
riveted together with gold.
Well" said the Comstocker, ''lf
YOU know of such a vein, why don't
you 90 and get it-why do you linger
herep"
CHATS just it," said the grizzled
argonaut-'.thats just the trouble.
Tue vein is rhere-red, rotten quartz,
all lousy and glittering with gold, but
/ haven't the means to get to it. lneed
money"
.sWell. how much do YOU want:
Now, don't set your figures too high.
for am getting tired of putting up
for these wld-goose chases. Make il
reasonable
"Well, I'll be moderate, for l know
you'll do what's right. All | want is
six bits-just enough to get a good
square .neal-and I'll bear all the
other expense-travelIn', opening the
miEe, and the like myself-and I'll
locate you in. Yes, I'll put you in"
He got the amount of capital re-
quired, and we expect soon to see an
nouncement made in tie Nevada City
papers of u regular jewellers shop
having been struck on Steep Hollow.
