CONSIDERABLE
ACTIVITY
Nevada's Exhibit is Being Placed
IN Order.

one OF the busiest places in this
city is the headquarters Of the Nevada
Nevada collection room for the ST
Louis exposition. Commissioner Yer
lhgton has number Of men helping
MIN place the samples of specimens in
order and properly labelling them. The
work is Of the most co~plete char
acter as every sample is not only
labeled, but the place of discovery, the
postoffice and the name of the mine is
given. This is then put in a group of
It's own, so as to make easy work of
placing 1t in lis proper booth when the
exhibit arrives on the ground, says the
Carson Appeal
In number Of cases the exhibitor
is required to fill out a blank, giving
full details Of the mine from which the
specimens came This blank is filled
by number and name 50 that any party
enquiring for the properly can be given
the owners name and address, also
the easiest route available 10 find the
property. Mr. Yerington has had the
blanks printed, as he found at the show
given at Buffalo that 1t was necessary
in order to be able to dispense inform
alton to the many inquiries that came
for Nevada mines.
1t is safe 10 predict that when Ne
vada makes her exhibit next year that
it will be the most complete in its his
tory, and should it result in one-half of
the interest taken that came from the
last exhibit at Buffalo, it will more
thar repay the State for the time and
money expended.
A number of private collections are
being placed in position. These are
loans and in most cases are Of ex-
ceeding value. One collection of crys-
tails is the best on the coast and this,
together with other private collections.
will add materially to the fine part of
the mineral show.
Considering the cash appropriated
by the State Mr.. Yerington is goirg to
do one Of the finest pieces Of adver-
tising that has ever gone from this or
any other State. BY the time the ex
position is opened Nevada will have
samples from every district in the
State. and In fact. every mine that is
OF any note as the mine owners and
prospectors are taking kindly TO the
idea and are sending in samples about
as fast as they can be handled.
