NEvADA's EXHIBIT.
Specimens Being Boxed for Shipment
to the Exposition.

Specimens Being Boxed for Shipment
to the Exposition.
There is busy time at the pavill
ion at the present. Commissioner Har.
din, who is being assisted by Charley
Watson and Howard Mulcahy, are put
ting in long days boxing all the ex.
hibits that are in this city.
It required over two weeks to put
the Reno exhibit into shape. but i
is all boxed and ready to load into
the cars. The work at the pavilion
is very interesting. OF the thousand
of exhibits that have been sent in. ev-
cry one has to be labelled, numbered,
tagged and entered into class book,
where it will go into the general cata-
logue, that is to be distributed free
at the fair grounds. Some Of the spe-
cimens that have been received are
the finest that Nevada has produced.
They represent every section of the
State and are all classified and being
boxed in order. During the week over
ninety boxes Of specimens have been
made ready for shipment.
At the Office above the depot the
finest specimens that have been re-
ceived are awaiting shipment. They
represent the choice and high value
ores that have been submitted. Some
Of them are simply lousy with gold
and precious metals. These will be
shipped separately, as they are con-
sidered too valuable for the regular
transportation.
Another new and good piece Of news
has been received by the Commission
ers. Nevada has been granted addit-
ional space at toe big show. Word
came few days ago that more room
had been assigned, something like a
hundred square feet. This will give
the Commissioners a chance to show
all the products to good advantage,
and ia a concession that is not grant
ed to many of the States.
The one item that the Commission
ers wish to impress upon the people
is that they should hustle and get
| their exhibits in. The time is growing
| exceedingly short, and the fact that
boxing is going on should show that
it Is necessary to move in the matter.
1t is the desire to make the exhibit
from this State the best that has ever
gone out, and in fact, to make it one
that will more than compare with the
shows from other States, where the
appropriation has reached into the
thousands Of dollars.
This can be done If everyone who
has anything that is worthy Of con
alteration being forwarded and al
cont to make the display and is the
greatest advertisement the State has
ever received. Only remember that il
10 necessary to move. In a few weeks
the exhibits from the other States
will be travelling the road and it *
more than probable that freight con
sestion will follow 1t is a state of frs,
come first served, and Nevada car
be in . position to handle her goods
hrst. The first carload will leave fol
the fair in . few weeks and all o.
the exhibits will soon follow.
To the farmers the Commissioner.
make a strong appeal. They desire
all the products Of the soil, such a!
grains and grasses. The fine speci
mems should be neatly bound and tag
ged, so that they can be properly
mounted. The fruits that will 20 for
ward will necessarily come later, and
when the time comes, this matter
will be handled to the satisfaction OF
everyone. But for the grains and that
character of material, they should be
in the hands Of the Commissioners.
With all the work that is being
| done by the Governor and the others
Of the Board. it seems that the indi-
! viduals should show more interest and
/ make Nevada's show the first in the
west and the first to be complete 90
the fair grounds
