siderable labor and expense. And the only "a for this work to 70 done in
the manner in which it should be done is fr zach county TO appoint a com

work until the task is completed. Not n PEI cent of the visitors Il the
Mining Congress will be able to go ovr the various districts of the state and
see for themselves If they see a cGslessly arranged exhibit they will b led
to believe that Nsvadans are nt enthusiastic about heir W resources; If thu

states mineral zone.
This natter of a proper exhibit is o., vital importance and it stands to the
interest Of every resident of the state that he does not wait for some one else
to awaken interest and start action along this linz, but that he get busy as a
committee If one, and do his part.

cabinets which at the san Time would afford the best display and which

California were practically bunded by the exhibit arranged for transporta-

That which win awaken general interest in Nevada mines and mining is
something which we cannot afford to do without. even if it takes a special tax

Nevada has heretofore preferred 70 leave Nevada's publicity work in the
hands Of the individual promoter. He has done wonders it is true At the
same time, he as worked untold damage-some of him. The matter should
now b taken ut Of his hands and put in the hands Of the state and county
governments. Tho coming session Of thu American Mining Congress affords a
most suspicious time 10 tart this campaign Of publicity. The work started
at this time should then be lMpetuated, On a constantly increasing SCALE and
in such manner as to show its absolute dianterestsdness in any particular
mine, section or district. e 4H
