After a prolonged dry spell Eureka on
Monday was treated to a refreshing
rain. which began falling 1t noon.
The downpour gave the streets and
yards a good wetting. so that no sprink-
ling Was needed for a few days. This
gave the water system a chance to re-
cuperate by essenipg the drains on il.
The rain laid the dust aud cleared the
atmosphere and male the weather de.
hghtful for the picnics of the week.
Thursday night there were indications
of storm; the wind blew a lively gale
aud the black clouds shot forth vivid
flashes. but no moisture fell. The
threatened downpour Friday forenoon
passed over Eureka leaving only a few
drops of wat r in its path aud a brisk

NOT REPRESENTED At FAIR.

The failure of Nevada to make any
exhibit of the States mineral resources
ct the Portland Exposition has been the
subject of considerable unfavorable
comment. 1t was expected that the
individual companies in the Bonanza
belt would be anxious to b. represented
at the Exposition both as a matt r of
advertising and out of the pride Of their
achievements, but not one put in an ap-
pearance. The State is not so well pro-
vided with funds as it might be aud
this may be taken as the reason for the
failure to exhibit. 1t is known that
the st. Louis display from Nevada was
hampered by a lack OF funds, and per-
haps this experience deferred anybody
from taking the initiative to the
work of making the display. The ad-
vent of much new blood into the State
may have the effect of putting the
public affairs in a more enterprising
way and it will be a good thing if this
does happen. Arizona, too, tailed to
make any adequate exhibit and

that these two important mining Terri
tories missed a chance to emphasize
