exhibit at the Buffalo Exposition
The Nevada exhibit in the Mines
building at the Pan-American promises
to be OF great practical value to mining
men, as we'll as general display of
general popular interest. Commits
sioner James A. Yerington has aimed
to make the mines exhibit illustrative
of the present conditions and resources
OF the State, and has taken great care
in preparing it along those lines.
Since Nevada does little in any other
department it remains for the Mines
exhibit to take the position of especial
Importance, which it does.
The States collection and specimens
from museums have not been used in
Nevada's exhibit, and no exhibit is
shown that is not from a mine now in
operation. This obviously affords a
most advantageous opportunity for in
vestors and others interested in prac-
tical mining to familiarize themselves
with the resources of this far Western
State.
Nevada has fifty feet of space along
the south wall of the Mines building
and the evhibit is most attractively ar
ranged in long mahogany cabinets,
eleven feet high. The exhibit is install
led behind glass doors and is most
handsomely arranged on steps and pyr.
amds. The specimens are set Off by a
background OF green cloth. On the
walls above the cabinet are pictures
illustrating the underground mberin g
OF the great Comstock lode, and the
PamlicO Hill, showing all the working:

nected with the mining work above
