NEVADA AL TIKI WOliI.D'S
FAIR

The Eureka Sentinel says il would
he i disgrace 10 allow our State TO 20
u~nrepE1sented at the Worlds Fair
next year. 1t asks il public spirit
and patriotism is dead in this COM
monwealth? Dsspairing OF official
activity in tho promises it submits
the following proposition in behalf OF
two gentle men residing in Euroka,
which it ho;ros tho press OF the
State will take up and push with
vigor until Il favorable result is at
tanned:
1.-Two of tho finest collections in the
world ara owned in Eureka, one by
DR.. l.. j. Schneider ard the other by
Il. j. Morrison. Thrse gentlemen
will loan the Stat. these valuable
mineral cabinets on certain condi-
tions. They want all expenses Of
transportation, etc, paid, and be al
lowed to put the exhibit in place and
manage the display during the Fair.
Mr.. Morrison who is thoroughly scieu-
tiic in minerals and reliable in every
way, must be permitted To accompany
and have solo charge Of these miner
ais. Tho collection of specimens at
Carson owned by tho State should
also be added, us lhoy would be cared
for aud returned by Mr.. Morrison,
nus making for Nevada tho grandcst
mineral display offered by any State
in the UuluI, and surprising in beau
ty and .ttractivcncss any similar lea.
turo i'll the great exposition. We,
sUIue Months since, called the atten-
ton OF Worlds Fair Commissioners
Russell and ~llaincs of this State to
the plan herein suggested, and they
both concurrcd with Ills that it WAS
abuut the beet thing that could be
done for the State. Now as 10 the
cost: Mr.. Miorrison's time and en-
penses for the whole Fair will cost,
say S2,0GO; cases for the specimens to
be manufactured on the ground at
Chicago, say 500, and the %tramspor-
tation Of the ores both ways, sly 800
more, making a total, all told Of only
about $1,000 for the finest mineral ex-
hibit the world has ~erse witnessed.
Ample space has beod allotted to Ne
vada in trc Exposition building. Are
ApA In tnnNh ~ nnI..n,irl M :. N
minder to tho thousands who pass
through the building, that we are the
nest insignificant community in all
tho Union? We hope not. Then will
not the patriotic press OF Nevada taka
hold and demand that measures bc
taken To avoid tho humiliation and
disgrace that must como to the State
II We 90 nnrcpresented. Only a few
naltry dollars are required-S3,OOO
Will do il, but Il little more would We
better. There are rich men and cor
poratiOn3 in abundance who have
made money in the State and of our
people. 4 mere ~triile, in comparison,
from each will meet the case. The
mining companies themselves might
contribute the amount and never feel
it. Will not Governor COlcOrd formu-
late some plan Of action! And finally
we invoke the press TO take up the
matter and never cease bowling until
the desired end is accomplished. No.
