mining EXHIBIT AT GOLDFIELD
Will Be BEST EVER SEEN

Mining 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 high and low grade ores who
expect to have their exhibits describ-
ed in the official catagory which will
contain all specimen data, are again
advised that they must have them in
Goldfeld by September 4, as after that
date Mr.. Tate, the mineralogist in
charge of the classification, cannot
guarantee that this can be done.
However, if a complete description
the specimens is sent in by this
date, including in said description the
amount of space required for the high
grade, also tina trequired for the low
grade, and the exact time when the
ore will be shipped to Goldfeld, 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 4, but is
to urge early shipments SO that they
may be properly catalogued.
The time has now arrived when ex-
hibitors should send in their high
grade, and all are urged to comply
with this request at once. Ample pro-
hon 70
protection of the specimens, and the
attention 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 ,wners will be sent to the Mackay
School of Mines at the state unievrsi-
ty. The high grade specimens will be
displayed in the "white cabinet,
which will be enclosed with large
panes of glass and securely sealed. A
shotgun brigade and deputy sheriffs
will also lie constantly on guard, for
there will be 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 loots of not over twen-
ty pounds each, unless single speci-
mems weigh more than that amount.
They should be shipped via Wells
Fargo express, and on their arrival Mr..
Tate will check them up and send
receipt for same to the owner, notify
ing him of any discrepancy at the
time, if any should occur.
Prof. George J. Young, of the state
university, has been here to assemble
the school of Mines exhibit in the
cases which were sent with it from
Reno Nearly the eitire exhibit, which
is statewide, was collected by students
Hip the field, the maps were also made
Uby students, and the collection will be
a most interesting and comprehensive
one The Comstock portion of this ex-
hibit will attract more than ordinary
attention. The formations Will be ex
emplifed by specimens SO arranged as
as to show the various characters OF
rock, their occurrence and relation to
each other. The vein matter and ores
rom various depths and longitudinal
points will also be shown, in sequence
Some handsome turquoise specimens
have been received from the mines OF
Edwin Tilden,in the Columbus district
near Oandelaria. The turquoise occurs
between quartz groupings on the hang
ing wall, which assays II ounces silver
