Will Make Creditable Exhibit
Eureka County, Representative Mining Men and Others Nov
Fully Alive to the Importance of Taking Advantage of the
Opportunity of Advertising the Great Mineral Resources
of This County at the Coming Meeting of the
American Mining Congress at Coldfeld

That the recent visit to Eureka Of
Charles +. Kapp Of Goldfield. repre-.
senting the Board of Mining Congress
Commissioners. is beginning to bear
fruit, was fully exempliied at the sec.
ond meeting Of representative min
ing men and others at the Justices
Courtroom in Eureka Wednesday even-
ing. 1t was manifest from the time the
meeting was called to order that those
present had attended the meeting for
the purpose of assisting by voice and
labor in bringing to a successful conclu-
sion the work now in hand-that OF
presenting one of the most creditable
displays or exhibits of the ores Of Eure-
ka County at the session OF the forth.
coming NJ ming Congress at Goldfeld.
II is also gratifying t, every county in
the State that the Congress has selected
a man in the person Of Mr.. Kapp, who
understands the mining business and
has had large experience in the collec.
ton and classification of mineral exhib
its at various places OF National import
arce. who will play no favorites, but
let zach exhibit stand on its own merit.
This statement is merely made paren-
thetically for the purpose of impressine
the matter on the minds of all that it is
a sort of family affair-that is, every
county in the Commonwealth is ex-
pected to do its full duty toward it's
grand old parent-the State OF Nevada.
There was a time. not many years ago,
when the "Great East" meaning the
eastern part Of the State, was a name to
c~onjure with. At that time Eureka
County was the acknowledged leader in
the van. The SENTINEL believes il the
people of the county so desire she can
again repeat her former achievements.
Already encouraging reports have been
received from mining men and others
from various districts of the county
that they will do all in their power to
see that the resources Of Eureka County
are properly and creditably exhibited at
the session of the coming Congress.
Secretary A. S. Henderson called the
meeting to order and st ited that in the
absence of the permanent Chairman,
Judge Peter Breen. it would be neces-
sary to appoint a temporary chairman.
| Gu motion w. Z. Jeannot was appoint
ed chairman pro tenn.
Chairman Jeanuot stated that the pre-.
sent meeting was called for the purpose of
hearing the report Of the committee ap-
pointed at the previous meeting to
notify the mining and other interests in
the county of the proposed mineral ex.
hibit at Gold1eld. and to devise ways
and means for making a creditable and
successful exhibit of the resources of
Eureka County at the coming Mining
| Congress. He stated that it was not
necessary to go into further details as
| the matter had been fully covered at
the first meeting.

Chairman II. X. Mitchell of the Pub
licity Committee reported that the
Committee had mailed 76 copies of the
circular letter to the different mining
interests of the county. This report
was accepted and the committee dis
charged.
II. @. McTerney stated that A. 2.
May berry had been called away sud-
denly to Palisade. but requested him
to state to the meeting that he was pre-
pairing and would furnish samples of
commercial ores from the Richmond and
Eureka Con. mines. W. e. Jeannot of
the Nevada Development and Mining
Company followed with a like offer of
commercial ores from the Holly mine on
Adams Hill.
Secretary Henderson was authorized to
write to Secretary Detch at Goldfeld
for a sufficient supply of tags and blanks
to accompany the shipments.
Mr.. Mitchell moved that the Chair.
man appoint q committee of three to
collect ores for the exhibit.
Alex Fraser thought that it would be
difficult to secure a committee to can
vass the county and personally collect
these ores, and was doubtful of obtain
ing the desired results through cores
pondenoe. He suggested that a COM
mittee of three be appointed by the
Chair to confer with the Board of
County Commissioners with a view of
obtaining financial assistance, stating
