The editor Of the DISPATCH returned
Sunday from visit to the Pan Amer
ican Exposition at Buffalo. The
Nevada exhibit at the Exposition is
one Of which the State may well feel
proud. 1t is encased in mahogany and
plate glass and is about fifty feet in
length. Its greatest attraction is a
miniature stamp mill running in full
blast by electric power. Next in point
Of interest is representation Of six
teen mule team hauling three heavy
freight wagons loaded with borax over
a dusty road. 1t is entirely Of borax
and Is true TO life to the minutest
detail. Timbering in our mines is
shown by models made OF wood. The
plaster cast of a miner. Dick Kelley of
Esmeralda. is a great feature of the
interesting display Specimens Of
every mineral known to exist in
Nevada are to be found on the shelves
and arranged to present fine view to
the spectator. Samples and specimens
from mines all over the State are at
hand. Every variety Of copper ore.
gold in all forms, and the richest spec
| linens Of silver the world ever pro-
duced fairly charm the initiated and
by their beauty alone hold all visitors.
Above the cases and extending the en-
tire length along the wall are large
views of some Of our principal mills
and mines. The arrangement is strik-
ing and effective in arresting every
body who visits the building The ex-

ton who is assisted by Leslie Bell. a
son Of Senator Bell Of Nye.

| the most popular. ablest and energetic
officer at the Exposition These state
ments are supported by the fact that
he was elected President Of the Ex-
ecutive Commissioners Association,
an honor representatives from the
greatest states in the Union craved,
but which fell to him because his
merits for the office were recognized.
BY virtue Of this potion and his at
tractive personality he has already
accomplished wonders Nevada ap-
proprated SIS, 900 to make this display
at Buffalo, the least amount appropria-
ted by any state. Mr. Yerington has
aleady sent nine men to Nevada look
ing for investments. Several have been

times the amount Of money Nevada
expended at the PAM American Expo

started in his work What he has
accomplished represents over 81 .OOo,-
900 in investments. He does not gloss
matters, talks straight, and gains the
confidence Of the men who seek him
and who are looking for investments
in mining property. He is very busy
man and has no time to call his own.
He is meeting men Of national reputa-
ton and his high position enables him
to present the mineral resources OF
Nevada to them as he can by virtue
Of his wide knowledge. He is called
upon several times a week TO address
r bodies Of prominent men from all parts
of the continent and he is fast disabus-
