ESMERAlDA ON WHEELS.
A Magnificent Exhibit for the
Ormsby Fair.

IN saturday last number at our
citizens conceived the idea of sending
an exhibit Of Esmeralda county pro-
auctions 10 the Ormsoy Fair. Owing
To the limited time and the fact that
no previous notice bad been given, the
exhibit is rot as fine as if more prepare
ton bad been allowed, but neverthe-
less II will cause many visitors 10 the
Fair 10 opea their eyes in amazrment.
The mineral sxhibi, is without doubt
the finest ever sent from ANY one
county on the coast. There are speci-
mems of nearly pure gold, silver, cop
per and lead just as taken from the
ground that must attract the attention
OF mining men. There are samples
from the Pamlico which assay $4,000
to the ton; Lapanta, 800; Mountain
King, $3.50 in gold, lead and copper;
Confidence, 81 100; a recent strike by
George Il Thorn in Morse district,
STA; Burnleigh, in ellis district, ST.
500; Fairmount, $500 There are al.
SO rich specimens from the Central.
Nevada, Early Dawn, War Eagle,
Montreal, Toronto, Western, Wood
chuck and many other claims. Those
who saw it pronounce it the best col
lection of mineral specimens ever pro-
duced from any county in the State.

all kinds will dispel this idea A.
