Yerington in Line.
Branch H. Smith, official solicitor for
the board of mining congress commits
~sioners, was in town during the past
week for the purpose of collecting
specimens for the state mineral exhibit
TO be held during the session of the
American Mining congress, which con-
venes in Goldfeld September ~.
Mr.. Smith met with the Yer:ngton
Commercial club at a special meeting
held Saturday evening, and it was de-
cided that the Yerington exhibit be left
to a local committee, as it was thought
by taking a little more time the com
mittee could secure a much better ex-
hihit than could Mr.. Smith. Those
composing the committee are: Mayor
Fairbanks, chairman; George +. Willis,
secretary; H. Pilkington, V. c. Bernard
and E. H. Whitacre.
The foremost mining men Of the
world will be in attendance at this con
gress and a good, large exhibit from
this district should mean much to the
camp, and every miner, prospector and
business man should appoint himself a
committee of one to assist this com
mittee in making the Yerington exhibit
the banner copper exhibit of the state.
