 Sierra County got away with the top prize of $lj0.OO at the territorial fair for the best display of ores. This fact is exceptionally remarkable when the fact is taken into consideration that the only districts in the county that sent ore exhibits to the fair were Chloride, Fairview and Grafton, repre- senting the Apache, Black Range and CuchillO mining districts respectively. It was display that astOnished sight seers and especially the mining fratern- ity. The three districts from which the exhibit was sent deserve great credit for winning the laurels for Sierra County, and no less credit should be given to Mir. C. T. Brown and his associates who labored hard and earn cstly to get up the exhibit and to have it properly placed on exhibition at tho fair.-IIil.sboro Advocate.
