NEvADA'S EXHIBIT.
Splendid Display at the Buf-
falo Exposition.

NlS GNaua display a. thC 1NPoSaS''
which is under the very able manage
lnent Of James A. Y%erington.
One Of the finest exhibits in the
Mines Building is that OF the State OF
Nevada, which has set forth its treas
ures in five tall cases along the south
ern wall. The exhibit includes that
displayed at the Paris Exposition, as
well as new specimens added by J. A.
YerIngton. under whose able super
vision the exhibit is made.
A model stamp gold mill, built by
the Union Iron Works Of San Fran
cisco, quite fills the first case and will
be of interest to all who desire to know
anything about the reduction Of geld
r Arrangements have been male
10 tap the electric current in the build
ing and make the wheels OF the mill 60
round, 50 that visitors may have some
idea Of how the mill looks in operation,
though the toy stamps cannot be ex-
pscted to give them an idea how II
sounds.
The model is built up against a side
hill. which is we'll bulwarked with ma
sonry TO withstand the continual CULVER
ing caused by the pounding stamps.
The top Of the mill is supposed to be
on a level with the mouth Of the mine,
an ideal condition not always possible,
but admirably adapted to effective
illustration. A deep a stands at the
mouth Of the mine and is a receptacle
for ores brought out Of it. This is run
over a sloping grlzley and the ore is
dumped into a deep, triangular bin.
Below is seen the battery OF stamps
where the ore is crushed. Below that
lies the copper plate where the free
gold is taken up, and still below, on the
lowest level. the Frue ann tables.
where the rest OF the ore is caught and
concentrated.
In the Ease with this model mill are
several dozens of full bottels in which
are small samples Of all the minerals
found in Nevada. They make a
bright and varied collection.
The second Ease contains copper
ores. Every variety is shown, includ-
ing culprite, m~alachite. azurlts. bronite,
copper matte and Stag and native cop
per. The brilliant green Of the NAL
achite beside the bright blue Of the
sulphate, and the peculiar peacock hue
lend a pre- Raphaelite glow to the
mass.
The central case Is much larger
than the others and in It are grouped
the specimens Of Nevada's lead. iron
and silver ores. with many samples Of
minor resources. Among the speci-
mems Of leao ores are some handsome
humps Of wulfenltes, or lead molybdate,
a rich old gold In color. A lump Of
galcna weighing $50 pounds is the pin
nacle Of the lead group.
Borax made out Of cotton ball which
is dug from Nevada marshes lies side
by side with fine chunks of dlatomace-
Gus earth. Some beautiful specimens
Of borax complete this group; also sodas
and salts.
The silver ores come next and some
very fine specimens are shown, includ-
ing silver chlorldes and bromides OIL
silver. One Of the daintiest silver
specimens is a native silver tree about
three inches high taken from the Com
stock lode, Bark, branches and leave;
are almost as perfect an imitation o.
natures article as If wrought by 4:
cunning silversmith's hands.
Near the silver are specimens o
marble. and pieces of white. blue
brown, black and variegated stone.
Iron in some of its many forms sue
ceeds. Lumps Of iron, crystals Of an
tirnnnu and cinnahar are ranoed sid
