Prof. George j. Young, Of the State
university has been here to assem-
bling the School of Mines exhibit in the
cases which were sent with it from
Reno. Nearly the entire exhibit, which
is statewide, was collected by students
in the field, the maps were also made
by students, and the collection will be
a most interesting and comprehensive
one. The Comstock portion of this ex-
bibit will attract more than ordinary
attention. The formations will be ex-
emplifed by specimens so arranged as
to show the various characters of rock,
their occurrence and relation to each
other. The vein matter and ores are
various depths and longitudinal points
will also be shown, in sequence.
Some handsome turquoise specimens
have been received from the mines Of

near Candelaria. The turquoise oc

A large chunk of Autograph stone
has been sent in by Walter f.. Pratt
of Goldfeld from his property in yell
low Pine district, Clark county. The
deposit is 1000 feet wide and three
miles long, and is said to be the larg-
est of its kind in America.
A nice exhibit has arrived from the
Comstock-M errimae property of the
Broken Hills company, near Virginia
City. IT is a high grade gold ore that
averages $3.50 per ton in carload ship
ments, but the richer portions of the
vein show values Of from $500 to So
492 per ton.
The Eureka county exhibit is being
unpacked and makes a great showing.

ore carrying lead, copper, gold and
silver; the Tenabo NJ. and NJ. company

SENATOR DICK WILL TALK
ABOUT MINING BUREAU

In a letter received by James f. Call
breath, Jr., secretary of the American
Mining Congress, from W.. E. Marsh,
private secretary to United States Sen
ator Charles Dick, senior senator from
Ohio, almost unqualified assurance was
given that the distinguished statesman
from the Buckeye commonwealth will
attend the congress and deliver an adj
dress. Only the arising, as stated in the
le' ter, of unforeseen obstacles, will
deny to the congress the favor from Sen
ator Dick of a discourse on the sub
ject of federal legislation affecting the
mining industry, a matter with which
the Ohioan, as chairman of the commit
tee on mines and mining in the senate,
has become thoroughly familiar.
Senator Dick vas the champion, in the
senate during the last session of con
gress, of the bill providing for the ere
alton of a national mining bureau, and
was all but successful in securing the
passage of the measure, approved in the
lower house by a vote of 229 to 81
Strangely it was the opposition of
western senators, notably Senator Tel
Ter of Colorado, that prevented a vote
being taken ON the bill.
The mining industry of the country
is looking to the session of the Mining
Congress to plan a campaign of sufh-

MINERAL EXHIBIT
FAST NEARING COMPLETION

Bullfrog district are at the local freie''
depot, to be placed on display at tne
Mineral Palaces; 21a tons from Eureka
will soon be arranged, and in addition
IN these exhibits, there is an enormous
bulk of ores at the depot and in the
palaee awaiting classification. Prac-
tieally all the work that has been done
TO date has been a classification and ar
rangement of milling ores. The high
grade. as a rule, awaits the work Of
the classifer at the palace.
The Consolidated company has an
enormous exhibit of milling ores In
the palace now, embracing the vari-
Gus kinds of ores found ON its various
properties, and at various levels in
these properties, illustrating the change
in the ores that comes with depth. NO
ticeable in this exhibit are two big
boulders from the Mohawk workings,
each boulder weighing close to LOO
pounds, and affording a striking ex'
ample of the immensely Of the ore
bodies. The high grade from the
Consolidated will not be sent to the
palace for a few days yet, as Classlfiei
Tate desires to have the lower grade
exhibits practically completed before he
goes to arranging the high grade ores
When the high grade from the Con
solidated, Florence and other proper
ties in this section is sent to the pal
ace, the already strong guard will b'
doubled or trebled, as some immense
ly valuable ores will be included II
these exhibits.
Mr.. Tate thinks he will have thu
milling ores practically all classified
and arranged by the latter part OF
the week, and then the big centra
cabinet-the white cabinet will
be filed with picture ore. 1t is be
lieved that the specimens in that cen
trail cabinet will be worth $25O,OOO o.
more, when the exhibit is complete

real value of milling and shipping ores

many rare mineral specimens that ar
sought for by collectors, will probabl,
be worth much more than n million
dollars. That sounds big, but it is RICH
and merely along the line of previous
statements that the exhibit will be tn
greatest mineral exhibit ever ~gathere,
in one place-certainly the greatest eve

cient strength to override the tactics
of obstructionists at the next session OF
the national legislature and carry this
and other important measure to an
early passage. IN the important sub
ject of legislation affecting the mining
industry, there will be several speak
ers of prominence, including ID. W.
Brunton, head of the American Insti-
tute of Mining Engineers; George Bart
lett, representative in Congress from
Nevada, and Representative Engle-
bright of California, the latter two
having been active IN behalf of the
mining bureau bill in the lower house
during the last session of congress.
Word was also received at Mining
Congress headquarters today that the
Mining Exchange of San Francisco will
be represented at the opening session
of the Congress by a large delegation
and that the Bay City representatives
will bring their own band. There has
been some talk that the San Francis
cans intend to make a bid for the
Congress of 1910 and will bring the
brass instrument artists to help along
the boosting. The trend of opinion,
however, seems to be that the next con-
clave will go to some Middle West city,
the object being to distribute the honor
as much as possible among the several
of the country.

Mineral exhibits for the Mining Con-
gress show continue to pour in from all
over the state, and they are being un-
packed and placed in position as fast
as the work can be handled. Exhibit
ors of both high and low grade ores
who expect to have their exhibits de-
scribed in the official catalogue which
will contain all specimen data, are
again advised that they must have
them in Goldfeid by September 4, as
after that date Mr.. Tate, the mineral.
ogist in charge of the classification,
annot guarantee that this can be
done.
However, if a complete description of
the specimens is sent in by this date,
including in said description the
amount of space required for the high
grade, also that required for the low
grade, and the exact time when the
ore will be shipped to Goldheld, then
the specimen data can be inserted in
the catalogue. This is not to be CON
strued as preventing exhibits being
sent in later than September A, but is
20 urge early shipments so that they
may be properly catalogued.
The time has now arrived when ex-

grade, and all are urged to comply with
this request at once. Ample provis-
ions have been made for absolute pro-
lection of the specimens, and the at
tention of owners is again called to
the fact that all specimens that are
desired to be returned will be returned
Immediately upon the closing Of the
Mining Congress. Only such exhibits
as are not desired to be returned to
the owners will be sent to the Mackey
School of Mines al the State univer-
sity. The high grade specimens will
be displayed in the "white cabinet
which will be enclosed with large panes
of glass and securely sealed. A "shot-
gum brigade and deputy sheriffs will
also be constantly on guard, for there
will be a store of wealth in the Mineral
Palace that would have made King
Solomon turn green with envy.
All high grade specimens should be
sent in separate lots of not over
twenty pounds each, unless single
specimens weigh more than that
amount. They should be shipped via
Wells Fargo express and on their
arrival Mr.. Tate will check them up

We always admire a good lie, inter
estingly told, that does no person or
thing harm. Perhaps that's why, when
we are tired, we like to get hold of one
of ii. Rider Haggard's yarns. And here
is one, stolen from the Silver State
News, published in Winnemueca, that il
a dandy:
A recent case, illustrating the wen
ders, of chemistry, as applied to the
recovery of gold, will start a new line
of inquiry and research. A Nevada
mining man, who is a pronounced
blonde, uses a pomade containing sui
plate of zine. He daily battles his
face and washes his hands in a little
stream or spring that gushes from a
ledge on his mine, which is very rich
in gold. Recently he was having lis
hair dressed by a barber, who was also
an old prospector and miner. The bar
Der examined the mans hair very
closely, using his ~magnifying glass.
Then, he remarked: 81 have often
seen golden hair, but never before hair
Of gold; and, ~pardner, l would just like
to know what kind Of a .claim you have
that turns hair to real gold"
The miner thought the barber merely
ioshing, and remarked: Everything
! touch turns to gold"
| ~ -
The barber clipped off a hair and it
showed under the glass as if gilded
with pure gold. The miner said moth
ing more, but hurried back to camp
and began Investigations. Zinc shaw
iugs are used IN the cyanide process
to preeipitase gold. His pemaas e,s
