lines a Work Of Cen
era1 Interest.

plans of the commission while in Reno
Sunday e~venlning on the way to San
Francisco.
Mr.. Yerington and his associates
are certainly leaving no stone unturned
especially If the stone assays any
thing-to make the exhibit from Ne
vada at the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position something that will advertise
the resources of this State as nothing
has ever done before.
The commission has already secured
specimens Of ll8 varieties of minerals
found In this State. In addition to
what is known as the metallic minerals
the exhibit will include such products
as the diatomacous earths and other
sillicates. onyx, emery, c~arborundum,
trlpoline, gypsum. barytes, graphite.
marble, tavertine. tinted sandstone,
granite, tufa, serpentine, sulphur, salt.
borax, mineral paint, infusorial earth,
pipe clay, etc.
All exhibits must be sent In before
the 18th Of January and intending ex-
hibitors should place themselves i'm
mediately In communication with the
commission.
The exhibit will be something more
than a mineral collection, splendid as
that will be. There will be a mag
nificient display of the agricultural pro-
ducts of the State and the garden veg
etables and large and small fruits will
be kept constantly renewed during the
term Of the exposition.
One Of the most valuable and inter
esting advertiser ents Of the resources
Of this State will be a history of Ne
vada that the commission is compiling.
1t will contain 400 pages and will be
neatly bound. The book will be hand
somely illustrated and an edition of
100 900 will be printed.
Every article will be contributed
without charge as labor Of love for Ne
vada. Among the articles now in
course of preparation are the following
historical sketches:

The commission will issue and dis

Commissioners Of each county will be
requested to act under the provisions
OF a law enacted by the late Leglsla-
ture providing for appropriations to ad-
vertise the resources Of the respective
counties.
