On the opening day over 5000 vis-

been ignorant Of Nrvadas wonderful
resources. Already have had in
quires from Severa! sources regard
ing the possibilities OF Nevada pro.
ducts and resources. Among miner
nls the principal inquiries are for
lcLd copper and antimOny, and have
already arranged Tor the State Met
allurgist of Utah to visit Nevada this
month in search Of nntlmony. aud
have given hin letters to Mr.. Bios.
som oi Battle Mountain who is the
only man in the State who took i'll.
tcrcst enough in the gathering of cx-
hibits to provide Inc with specimens
OF antimony for this exhibition. How
ever. any good citizens Of the State
who may knoS OF the location Of an

same by writing direct to Don Ma

Enquiries for lead and copper have
been made io iue 10y William Lopden
an expert behind capitalists in this
city who have already made pur-
cbases in other States, and | now at
tract their attention to Nevada, and

propositions for the sale Of copper
und lend to submit the same tO me

ing expert spoken Of above whose

always forwarded to me.
Another peculiar inquiry came to
me yesterday from Il man whom

what he preferred to do; enter the
journalistic field, mining, grazing or
agriculture, and his reply was: at
