NEVADA AT OMAHA.

Don Mcguire, writing TO the Salt Lake
Tribune Of the mineral exhibit OF Utah
and other States st the Omaha Exposi-
tion, has this to say Of the Sagebrush
State:
The Nevada State exhibit is extremely
interesting. Nevada's exhibit is made
up Of ores Of gold, silver. lead, copper,
sntimony. zinc. manganese and iron. also
nickel and bismuth. rare specimens OF
wulfsnite, beautiful Rsrnets from White
Pine county. stalactites and elastic sand.
stone from Armsgosa valley, and . mag
nidcent line Of ores from the old Com
stock lode At Virginia City. There is no
part Of that great State unrepresented in
the exhibit here given, but an unfortun-
ate feature is that some Of the very fin-
est exhibits Of Nevada are very small
specimens, their labelling. however,
showing wonderful patience and much
learning. This exhibit was taken from
the Nevada State University and 10
most instructive one. Col. Maxson Of
Reno, who brought it here, has taken
much interest and pains to represent his
State at Omaha both in mining and sgri.
culture. Along with the minerals shown
in the mines department, there is shown
Q case filled with historic weapons which
took part in the early history Of Nevads
old fintlock pistols and rifles, famous
revolvers and guns Of obsolete pattern.
In the picture gallery there are shown
the photographs Of old Chief Winnemuccs.
his daughter. the Princess Sarah. and
also the famous Piute or Shoshone phi.
lanthropist and legislator. John Sides.
Along with these there is q beautiful
array Of the reigning young beauties Of
the Sagebrush State that would do credit
to any land on earth.

dissatisfied with the cooking Of their

went in body to superintendent Joseph
Farron to complain, when they were ell
