gard To the scope Of the Exposition and
of the plans and arrangements for the

Then followed a general discussion OF
the advisability of taking advantage of
this opportunity of still furthur adyer-
Using the resources of the county by get
ting up. in connection with our exhibit,
a prospectus, or pamphlet describing
our mines aud mining districts, our
ranches aud all other interests which
might prove attractive to outside cap
ilal. These could be utilized in two
different ways. Some could be placed
at the Nevada exhibit in Omaha to be
put into the hands of anyone who mani
tested an interest in the exhibit, and Mr..
Maxson assures us that this viii be con
scienciously done by the attendant in
charge of the Nevada exhibit. Others
coull be put into circulation directly by
the residents OF the county, where they
thought that some good could be done.
1t was the general opinion that such
prospectus would add materially to
the value Of our exhibit and might do
the county great deal of good. 1t was
accordingly moved and carried that the
Chair appoint two gentlemen to act
with himself in appointing finance
committee. with representatives from
each district, to determine how much
money should be raised for such pur-
pose The Chair choes VIM. Hayes
and Sol Hip to act with him in the
above capacity.
1t was then moved and carried that
W. n. McGill, ]. b. Mathewson A. c.
! Cleveland and E. H Decker be appoint
ed as a committee to write up the re-
sources of the county in case the tinan-
cial committee rendered a favorable re-
port The meeting then adjourned sub
f ject to the call of the Chair.
After the close of the meeting, the
/ finance committee held a short meeting
and chose the following gentlemen to
assist them In ascertaining how much
money can be raised in the various
parts of the county for the above men,
toned purpose: p. IL. Cannon, F. A.
E McDermid. Alex Muir, j. IL. Marriott,
Dan Simonsou, A. G. Cleveland, Simon
/ Davis VIM. Burke, w. c. Gallagher,
+ c. a. Mathewson, \. Simonson, j. YER
zan, J. Il. McOmie. and Thos. Robin
son. 1t might be further explained
that the cost of 5000 pamphlets, each of
so pages. illustrated from photographs,
together with other necessary expenses,
would be about $200. This estimate is
based ON figures from a prominent San
Francisco publishing house.
Now let everybody who has any in-
tarest in the welfare and prosperity OF

ed on a committee or not, take hold OF
this enterprise and push it along. \
