PETRA eng . dergrowth. A ‘quantity of mining ~ troubled with an exceedingly sluggish liver, oS e ‘The’ Daily Transcript. OUR STATE FAIR EXHIBIT. FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 1889. 7 “ «a Masterly Address. Hon. M. D. Boruck on Thursday evening delivered the annual address of the State Agricultural Society. He avoided the stereotyped platitudes and gush common to such efforts, and gave a thoughtful and at the same time entertaining talk on the subject of agriculture and the progress made in that industry since Bible times. His remarks were entitled ‘‘The Life of a Plow.’ He concluded witb a brilliant peroration, the last lites of which were these: ‘‘There was a time —not so many years ago—when the California farmer was too willing to believe that this God’s country of ours was to be as everlastingly fruitful ae God’s providence is merciful. That “luxurious confidence in climate and soil doing everything has pust, however. Today we see the California farmer an earnest believer in the need of . adding brains and energy to climate and soil. He has carried out his belief nobly, and, gentlemen, he is to be honored for it: He 1s to be honored for the stand he has taken among the agriculturists of the world; for the dignity he has given to his toil ; for the conquests he has made; for the deserts he'has made to blossom as the rose; for the waste places he has redeemed ; for the sterling worth he has displayed ; for the distinction he has imparted to his vocation, and for the honesty and faithfulness with which he is ‘doing his duty in that st te of life'in which it has pleased God to cal) him,’ ” Mr. Boruck is a man of much talent; and considering that there is not a man_in the State who has done more for the Republican party it is strange that he has not before this been called to the gubernatorial chair or to some high legislative position, He is the peer in ability of the best men who have filled those places. The time will come when his party services, influence and intelligence will be recognized, and his fellow Republicans should look to it that the recognition is not in the shape of post mortem honors alone. The Forest City Fire. The forest fire which on Tuesday last was alarmingly close to Forest City is now in the small timber along the ridge between that town and Allegtany, but is said to-be doing no particular damage. It started several days ago near the Pliocene shaft, some. eight miles above Forest City, and fol lowed down the, line of trees and .untimbers belonging to the Bald Mountain Extension Company were reported to be in danger Tuesday and Wednesday, and some Downieville men who are interested in the property went down to.take care of it.

He was unable to accomplish any substantial results as far as can be learned. ‘WIA: ecover.

For the past five yearsI have been including loss of appetite and distress after eating, pains in the back and kidneys, and boils around my neck and face. I tried many liver remedies, only getting temporary relief. I was recommended to try a bottle of ‘“‘The California Remedy” Joy’s Vegetable SarsaParilla as a test, and while taking the first bottle I became convinced of its merits, for I could feel it was working a change in me, T took five bottles, and during that time my troubles left me, Everything is working full and regular, in fact it has cleansed, purified and braced me up generally. I feel like another man. You are at liberty to use this az you see fit, or can refer whom you please to “With Beamish, corner Third and Market Ssteeets, San Francisco, Piano Tuning. ; W. D.

Amador county got away with the first premium. The other premiums for county exhibits were awarded in the order named: Colusa, San Joaquin, Humbolt, Fresno, Yulo, Merced. These awards were for general exhibits of county products. Many premiums are to be given for the individual displays going to make up the county collections, and in these latter itis sure that-Nevada county people will get the lion’s share. Our exhibit was vastly superior to any ever made by other counties, ao far as the agricultural and horticultural products were concerned, the fruit and nuts shown being especially notable both for quality and quantity. Unfortunately, however, our oldest and in aome respects greatest industry—mining—was but poorly represented owing to the indifference man ifested by the mine owners. What was shown in that line was of superior merit, the deficiency being in the amount only. On the other hand the mine owners of Ainador exerted themselves to the utmost and sent tons of eres where those of Nevada county sent pounds, ________: Taken all around, Nevada county has good cause to feel proud of the position it earned, and has nobody but itself to blame for not winning still greater disti:.ction. It-is to be-hoped-that its people will profit by this experience, and when It Wins the Second Pre-. Alter a lapse of nearly thirty years A SLIM DISPLAY OF MINERALS Is What Kept Us From Standing at DEATH VALLEY. A Region of Tragic and Remantic Interest. The Virginia City Enterrrise says : the Death Valley country, a region of tragic and romantic interest, is about to be regularly prospected for gold, silver and other valuable metals. The Death Valley region first, became known to the people of the Pacific Ceast through the disaster that befell « train of lost emigrants, who in the early days wore xo unfortunate as to wander into that terra. calienti, where many perished of thirst amid the wastes of burning sand and ruzged and sterile hills. About the same time stories of veins of gold quartz of almost fabulous richness were put forth by some of the survivors who wandered through.the fastness of the mountains in search of a passage through the rocky wilderness to the California side of the Sierras. Since that tine many parties have visited that region’ ina vain search after the golden treasures told of by the early wanderers and sufferers. As no such golden deposits as they claim to have eeen have ever been found, most persons have concluded that they were ‘the mere chimeras of brains rendered delirious by thirst. Many lives have been lost at various times since the early days among the parties, large and small, that have attempted to explore Death: Valley and the wilds by which it is surrounded. Although it is a region dangerous to strangers—who are liable heedlessly to wander into the desert areas without an adequate supply of water—yet it is safe as any other for persons who are acquainted with the localities in which springs are to be found, and who always operate from a base of water supply. The man who knows the country may go from spring to spring all over it, and no tract of the desert is so wide that it may not be safely crossed by. one who goes forth well supplied with water. Of late the people of Inyo courty, Cal., who are just west of the Death Valley country, have been making regular. and systematic explorations in it, making their approaches from the west by advancing inward from spring to spring. According to the Inyo Index of September 11, they have recently made some very valuable discoveries on the eastern slope of the Telescope range of mountains, about six miles west of the western rim of Death Valley proper. In this place they have discovered a rich and exhaustive mineral belt. The veins carry gold, silver and lead, with . considerable amount of iron. It is a rich smelting ore, that. will pay from. another year comes make a united and earnest effort to got first place in the procession of California counties. [tcan readily achieve this desideratum by virtue of its merits. The sargent Ketate. Geerge C, Sargent, son of the late Senator A. A. Sargent, has filed an assignment in the Probate Court of San Francisco by which he turns over to his sister al! his interest in his father’s estate, except the law library, of which he now has posession, The sister, Elizabeth R. C. Sargent, was included in a decree of partial distribution with the other heirs, August 23d, 1888, and by this assignment he transferato her all the property that came to him through suid decree, as well as all that will come tohim when the estate is finally distributed. Senator Suarvent left an estate worth about $130,000, of which nine-twelfths goes to the widow, Mrs. Ellen C. Sargent, and the balance in equal shares to Mrs. Ellen S. Montgomery, danghter, Miss Eiizabeth R. C, Sargent, daughter, and George C. Sargent, son. An O14 Case Settled. The misdemeanor case which Mrs. Mary Ati Goad, a widow lady of this city, instituted last winter ugainst Wm. J. Cartercf Grass Valley, and which led to the-disappearance of Carter before he could be arrested, has been settled. Mrs, ‘Goad receives $125 in coin and a three months’ ‘note for $50 in satisfaction for the watch and chain, accordeon, cane, etc., which Carter got from her while the two were engaged tobe murried, and which he failed to return when he went off and married a young lady of his own town. The widow kept after him sharply and he was recently captured at Alameda; but he gave the officers of that place the slip and has since been keeping shady pending a settlement. In order to get rid of the case he also had to pay the costs, amounting to some $25. i oceleieeneeneteenmmemeeniooe There 4re ne tlappy Days For those-who continue to rise unrefreshed after a night’s unrest.Nervousness, insomnia, indigestion—these constitute a triple alliance that perpetually wars against man’s comfort, and robs both brain and body of tranquility. Combat the trio for a time with Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, and it will give ground and eventually fly the field, The busis of reform is the ‘rectification of digestion, for the brain and nerve trouble is simply a reflex of the di-turbince of that all im: ortant function. A wineglassful before each meal of the national stomachic insures facile digestion, and a repetition of the pleasant dose before retiring promotes nerve and muscle invigorating sleep. Associated with indigestion we ustally find biliousness and constipation. But together or independent of each other, these maladies are subjugated by the Bittera,.which also. ea. kidney troubles, rheumatism, neuralgia and malaria, When she became Miss, : She clung to Oustoria, When she had Childreo, _ Tur San Franci-co Evening Post is the leeding evening paper of San Vrao$50 to $500 a ton, and in no place have the veins been explored to a depth of over 20 or 80 feet. In view ofthe large per cent, of gold in the~quartz, the district has been called Gold Hill. The country rock is limestone, traversed by many dikes of porphyry and other eraptive rocks. Near the mines are found springs.of good water, and an abundance of nutpine for fuel and mining timbers and other uses. A correspondent of the Index gives the following account of relics of interest to be seen in the new mining region : ‘From one-half to three miles westerly from the mineral belt an Indian trail leads to Death Valley, Resting Springs and other places. To the north, alongside of the trail, three miles from camp, upon a large smouth slab of slate is cut ‘A. McFarlan, 1871.’ It is p!ain that twenty-eight years of exposure seems to have had little or no effect upon it. On the same slab several hieroglyphics have been cut, but they are dim and must have been ent a long time previous to his name. A few feet further another and larger slab is covered with hieroglyphics, beHing sufficiently plain-tebe madeout: They have been cut by some sharp pointed instrument, and very probably by a different race from the present Indians, as these profess to know nothing and have no tradition or other knowledge concerning them; ‘The Indians say that in their fathers’ time a large stream of water ran down what i¢ now known as Goler Canyon, some twelve miles west, and that the country is undergoing a physicalchange. About every Indian family has.a garden which they cultivate in @ crude manner, raising corn, melons and wheat. One as a few peach and plum trees, but has a good deal of trouble with coyotes and the birds.’”’ To this the Index editor adds the following items of a date seven days later: NEW DISCOVERIES, Last week W. C. Morton, while prospecting on the north side of Telescope Peak, discovered several ledges of what appears.to be rich silver rock. Hestates there aré three large natural tanks, which the elements have worn out in the rocks, full .of pure cold water, and that a stream carring over 150 inches of water gushes down the canyon a few hundred feet from its discovery. Plenty of timber is close at hand, and the ledges can be reached from Death Valley, four or five miles east, by wayon, ——_—_—_——— An Blegant Substitute For oils, salts, pills, and all kinds of Ditter, nauseous medicines, is the very agreeable liquid fruit remedy, Syrup of Figs.

Wednesday evening’s Sacramento Bee gives the following description of Nevada county’s exhibit at the State Fair: Nevada county lies in the heart of the Sierras and is one of the most prosperous mountain counties in the State. It extends from the east line of the State westward seventy miles to the Sacramonto Valley and is from twelve to twenty miles wide. The altitude is from 2,000 to 3,000 feet along its central portion and less than 1,000 feet in the, western or valley region. It has nearly every variety of climate known in the State, and in its argicaltural portions the soil is capable of producing great results. Nevada county has exhibited atthe State Fair for a number of years but she has never hada finer.exhibit than she bas at the Pavilion this year. It isin charge of J. R. Nickerson, who has arranged a beautiful display of Nevada products. Nine large tables are filled with fruit of the handsomest description. Apples predominate. There are apples everywhere and their fine quality proves that the footbills and mountain regions of this “county are peculiarily favorable to the growth of this fruit. The varieties include the Wagner, Peek’s Pleasant, Baldwin, Fall Pippin, Summer Pearmain,. Bellflower, Spitzenberg, Nonsuch, Blue Pearmain, Northern Spy, Grindstone, Rhode Island Greening, . Royal Greening, Astrachan, Willow Twig, Grease, St. Lawrehce, Winter Rose, Ohio Greening, Limber Twig, Culpa Hocken, Newtown Spitzenberg, Hall’s Winter, Julien, Golden’ Winter Pippin, Vandever, Winesap, Habbardson, Skinner, White Doyenne, Red Siberian, Gladney’s Red, Gravenstein, Snowcap, King of iompkins, Shackley Seek-no-further and Sweet Maiden’s Blush. Apples are not the only fruits shown, however. Some of the finest pears in the Pavilion, as well as oranges, lemons, peaches, prunes, figsand in fact nearly all the varieties of fruit grown in the Staté, are exhibited in great profusion, Chestnuts, walnuts and peanuts are the main varieties in the nut line. The canned fruits and jellies from this county are beautiful and extensive Some excellent tobacco, both growing and cured, is shown among the articles of farm produce which cover the walls on two sides of the exhibit. Some fine grasses show the quality of the pasture lands of thiscounty, while @ number of excellent specimens of wheat, barley, oats, rye, alfalfa and clover add interest and attractiveness ‘tothe display. Hops are prominent among Nevada’s products, and one vine is. shown that is forty-six feet in length. The vegetable exhibit is magnificent as tosize and variety. Some immense cucumbers, tomatoes, beets, onions, cabbages, carrots and sauashea ara shown, Eight squashes are in the exhibit, that came from one vine, the combined weight of the lot being 605 pounds, 3 Nevada county is one of the richest mining countiesinthe State. and the «xhibit of minerals is large and varied. Specimens of gold quartz from a large uumber of mines show the richness of Nevada’s ledges, and a cabinet contains some valuable nuggets as well as 4 fine collection of moss agates. One of the most interesting articles in the Pavilionin the line of minerals is a case showing products of the Spenceville copper mine. The case contains the raw ore as well as solid copper ingots, Paint, cement, iron :pyrites, sulphur and blue stone—all from the mine, are shown in the collection. This portion of the exhibit is peculiarly instructive as showing the changes which take place as--the oreis-being-} turned into ingots. Mr. Nickerson says that this industry is still young, but it is destined to be a source of great wealth to Nevada county. As a whole, Nevada county’s exhibit is most complete and illustrates the bounteous resources of that county in a most creditable manner. .

Compressed air was used-for power in runningthe cars from the 10th to the 16th level, and this being cut off the men had to walk up the gangway to. the tenth level, which was‘a heavy labor. In ascending from No 10 to the surface on the -cage the men said there was a distinct smell of gas, as at the time of the fire several monthsago, and the ‘presence: of smoke was detected, which gave them a decided scare, but there was no evidence of fire. The night shift men, who were ready to go on duty, were not sent down last evening. The repairs to the pipe were expected to be made last night, and work will be resumed today. —_—_—_—_——————— A MAN charged with attempting to work a racket ought to be tried-in-a tennis court. _ Tux self-made man is frequently exceedingly proud of avery poor job.

Hon. M. D. Boruck on Thursday evening delivered the annual address of the State Agricultural Society. He avoided the stereotyped platitudes and gush common to such efforts, and gave a thoughtful and at the same time entertaining talk on the subject of agriculture and the progress made in that industry since Bible times. His remarks were entitled ‘‘The Life of a Plow.’ He concluded witb a brilliant peroration, the last lites of which were these: ‘‘There was a time —not so many years ago—when the California farmer was too willing to believe that this God’s country of ours was to be as everlastingly fruitful ae God’s providence is merciful. That “luxurious confidence in climate and soil doing everything has pust, however. Today we see the California farmer an earnest believer in the need of . adding brains and energy to climate and soil. He has carried out his belief nobly, and, gentlemen, he is to be honored for it: He 1s to be honored for the stand he has taken among the agriculturists of the world; for the dignity he has given to his toil ; for the conquests he has made; for the deserts he'has made to blossom as the rose; for the waste places he has redeemed ; for the sterling worth he has displayed ; for the distinction he has imparted to his vocation, and for the honesty and faithfulness with which he is ‘doing his duty in that st te of life'in which it has pleased God to cal) him,’ ” Mr. Boruck is a man of much talent; and considering that there is not a man_in the State who has done more for the Republican party it is strange that he has not before this been called to the gubernatorial chair or to some high legislative position, He is the peer in ability of the best men who have filled those places. The time will come when his party services, influence and intelligence will be recognized, and his fellow Republicans should look to it that the recognition is not in the shape of post mortem honors alone. The Forest City Fire. The forest fire which on Tuesday last was alarmingly close to Forest City is now in the small timber along the ridge between that town and Allegtany, but is said to-be doing no particular damage. It started several days ago near the Pliocene shaft, some. eight miles above Forest City, and fol lowed down the, line of trees and .untimbers belonging to the Bald Mountain Extension Company were reported to be in danger Tuesday and Wednesday, and some Downieville men who are interested in the property went down to.take care of it.

For the past five yearsI have been including loss of appetite and distress after eating, pains in the back and kidneys, and boils around my neck and face. I tried many liver remedies, only getting temporary relief. I was recommended to try a bottle of ‘“‘The California Remedy” Joy’s Vegetable SarsaParilla as a test, and while taking the first bottle I became convinced of its merits, for I could feel it was working a change in me, T took five bottles, and during that time my troubles left me, Everything is working full and regular, in fact it has cleansed, purified and braced me up generally.

Amador county got away with the first premium. The other premiums for county exhibits were awarded in the order named: Colusa, San Joaquin, Humbolt, Fresno, Yulo, Merced. These awards were for general exhibits of county products. Many premiums are to be given for the individual displays going to make up the county collections, and in these latter itis sure that-Nevada county people will get the lion’s share. Our exhibit was vastly superior to any ever made by other counties, ao far as the agricultural and horticultural products were concerned, the fruit and nuts shown being especially notable both for quality and quantity. Unfortunately, however, our oldest and in aome respects greatest industry—mining—was but poorly represented owing to the indifference man ifested by the mine owners. What was shown in that line was of superior merit, the deficiency being in the amount only. On the other hand the mine owners of Ainador exerted themselves to the utmost and sent tons of eres where those of Nevada county sent pounds, ________: Taken all around, Nevada county has good cause to feel proud of the position it earned, and has nobody but itself to blame for not winning still greater disti:.ction.

Alter a lapse of nearly thirty years A SLIM DISPLAY OF MINERALS Is What Kept Us From Standing at DEATH VALLEY. A Region of Tragic and Remantic Interest. The Virginia City Enterrrise says : the Death Valley country, a region of tragic and romantic interest, is about to be regularly prospected for gold, silver and other valuable metals. The Death Valley region first, became known to the people of the Pacific Ceast through the disaster that befell « train of lost emigrants, who in the early days wore xo unfortunate as to wander into that terra. calienti, where many perished of thirst amid the wastes of burning sand and ruzged and sterile hills. About the same time stories of veins of gold quartz of almost fabulous richness were put forth by some of the survivors who wandered through.the fastness of the mountains in search of a passage through the rocky wilderness to the California side of the Sierras. Since that tine many parties have visited that region’ ina vain search after the golden treasures told of by the early wanderers and sufferers. As no such golden deposits as they claim to have eeen have ever been found, most persons have concluded that they were ‘the mere chimeras of brains rendered delirious by thirst. Many lives have been lost at various times since the early days among the parties, large and small, that have attempted to explore Death: Valley and the wilds by which it is surrounded. Although it is a region dangerous to strangers—who are liable heedlessly to wander into the desert areas without an adequate supply of water—yet it is safe as any other for persons who are acquainted with the localities in which springs are to be found, and who always operate from a base of water supply. The man who knows the country may go from spring to spring all over it, and no tract of the desert is so wide that it may not be safely crossed by. one who goes forth well supplied with water. Of late the people of Inyo courty, Cal., who are just west of the Death Valley country, have been making regular. and systematic explorations in it, making their approaches from the west by advancing inward from spring to spring. According to the Inyo Index of September 11, they have recently made some very valuable discoveries on the eastern slope of the Telescope range of mountains, about six miles west of the western rim of Death Valley proper. In this place they have discovered a rich and exhaustive mineral belt. The veins carry gold, silver and lead, with . considerable amount of iron. It is a rich smelting ore, that. will pay from. another year comes make a united and earnest effort to got first place in the procession of California counties. [tcan readily achieve this desideratum by virtue of its merits. The sargent Ketate. Geerge C, Sargent, son of the late Senator A. A. Sargent, has filed an assignment in the Probate Court of San Francisco by which he turns over to his sister al! his interest in his father’s estate, except the law library, of which he now has posession, The sister, Elizabeth R. C. Sargent, was included in a decree of partial distribution with the other heirs, August 23d, 1888, and by this assignment he transferato her all the property that came to him through suid decree, as well as all that will come tohim when the estate is finally distributed. Senator Suarvent left an estate worth about $130,000, of which nine-twelfths goes to the widow, Mrs. Ellen C. Sargent, and the balance in equal shares to Mrs. Ellen S. Montgomery, danghter, Miss Eiizabeth R. C, Sargent, daughter, and George C. Sargent, son. An O14 Case Settled. The misdemeanor case which Mrs. Mary Ati Goad, a widow lady of this city, instituted last winter ugainst Wm. J. Cartercf Grass Valley, and which led to the-disappearance of Carter before he could be arrested, has been settled. Mrs, ‘Goad receives $125 in coin and a three months’ ‘note for $50 in satisfaction for the watch and chain, accordeon, cane, etc., which Carter got from her while the two were engaged tobe murried, and which he failed to return when he went off and married a young lady of his own town. The widow kept after him sharply and he was recently captured at Alameda; but he gave the officers of that place the slip and has since been keeping shady pending a settlement. In order to get rid of the case he also had to pay the costs, amounting to some $25. i oceleieeneeneteenmmemeeniooe There 4re ne tlappy Days For those-who continue to rise unrefreshed after a night’s unrest.Nervousness, insomnia, indigestion—these constitute a triple alliance that perpetually wars against man’s comfort, and robs both brain and body of tranquility. Combat the trio for a time with Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, and it will give ground and eventually fly the field, The busis of reform is the ‘rectification of digestion, for the brain and nerve trouble is simply a reflex of the di-turbince of that all im: ortant function. A wineglassful before each meal of the national stomachic insures facile digestion, and a repetition of the pleasant dose before retiring promotes nerve and muscle invigorating sleep. Associated with indigestion we ustally find biliousness and constipation. But together or independent of each other, these maladies are subjugated by the Bittera,.which also. ea. kidney troubles, rheumatism, neuralgia and malaria, When she became Miss, : She clung to Oustoria, When she had Childreo, _ Tur San Franci-co Evening Post is the leeding evening paper of San Vrao$50 to $500 a ton, and in no place have the veins been explored to a depth of over 20 or 80 feet. In view ofthe large per cent, of gold in the~quartz, the district has been called Gold Hill. The country rock is limestone, traversed by many dikes of porphyry and other eraptive rocks. Near the mines are found springs.of good water, and an abundance of nutpine for fuel and mining timbers and other uses. A correspondent of the Index gives the following account of relics of interest to be seen in the new mining region : ‘From one-half to three miles westerly from the mineral belt an Indian trail leads to Death Valley, Resting Springs and other places. To the north, alongside of the trail, three miles from camp, upon a large smouth slab of slate is cut ‘A. McFarlan, 1871.’ It is p!ain that twenty-eight years of exposure seems to have had little or no effect upon it. On the same slab several hieroglyphics have been cut, but they are dim and must have been ent a long time previous to his name. A few feet further another and larger slab is covered with hieroglyphics, beHing sufficiently plain-tebe madeout: They have been cut by some sharp pointed instrument, and very probably by a different race from the present Indians, as these profess to know nothing and have no tradition or other knowledge concerning them; ‘The Indians say that in their fathers’ time a large stream of water ran down what i¢ now known as Goler Canyon, some twelve miles west, and that the country is undergoing a physicalchange. About every Indian family has.a garden which they cultivate in @ crude manner, raising corn, melons and wheat. One as a few peach and plum trees, but has a good deal of trouble with coyotes and the birds.’”’ To this the Index editor adds the following items of a date seven days later: NEW DISCOVERIES, Last week W. C. Morton, while prospecting on the north side of Telescope Peak, discovered several ledges of what appears.to be rich silver rock. Hestates there aré three large natural tanks, which the elements have worn out in the rocks, full .of pure cold water, and that a stream carring over 150 inches of water gushes down the canyon a few hundred feet from its discovery. Plenty of timber is close at hand, and the ledges can be reached from Death Valley, four or five miles east, by wayon, ——_—_—_——— An Blegant Substitute For oils, salts, pills, and all kinds of Ditter, nauseous medicines, is the very agreeable liquid fruit remedy, Syrup of Figs.

Wednesday evening’s Sacramento Bee gives the following description of Nevada county’s exhibit at the State Fair: Nevada county lies in the heart of the Sierras and is one of the most prosperous mountain counties in the State. It extends from the east line of the State westward seventy miles to the Sacramonto Valley and is from twelve to twenty miles wide. The altitude is from 2,000 to 3,000 feet along its central portion and less than 1,000 feet in the, western or valley region. It has nearly every variety of climate known in the State, and in its argicaltural portions the soil is capable of producing great results. Nevada county has exhibited atthe State Fair for a number of years but she has never hada finer.exhibit than she bas at the Pavilion this year. It isin charge of J. R. Nickerson, who has arranged a beautiful display of Nevada products. Nine large tables are filled with fruit of the handsomest description. Apples predominate. There are apples everywhere and their fine quality proves that the footbills and mountain regions of this “county are peculiarily favorable to the growth of this fruit. The varieties include the Wagner, Peek’s Pleasant, Baldwin, Fall Pippin, Summer Pearmain,. Bellflower, Spitzenberg, Nonsuch, Blue Pearmain, Northern Spy, Grindstone, Rhode Island Greening, . Royal Greening, Astrachan, Willow Twig, Grease, St. Lawrehce, Winter Rose, Ohio Greening, Limber Twig, Culpa Hocken, Newtown Spitzenberg, Hall’s Winter, Julien, Golden’ Winter Pippin, Vandever, Winesap, Habbardson, Skinner, White Doyenne, Red Siberian, Gladney’s Red, Gravenstein, Snowcap, King of iompkins, Shackley Seek-no-further and Sweet Maiden’s Blush. Apples are not the only fruits shown, however. Some of the finest pears in the Pavilion, as well as oranges, lemons, peaches, prunes, figsand in fact nearly all the varieties of fruit grown in the Staté, are exhibited in great profusion, Chestnuts, walnuts and peanuts are the main varieties in the nut line. The canned fruits and jellies from this county are beautiful and extensive Some excellent tobacco, both growing and cured, is shown among the articles of farm produce which cover the walls on two sides of the exhibit. Some fine grasses show the quality of the pasture lands of thiscounty, while @ number of excellent specimens of wheat, barley, oats, rye, alfalfa and clover add interest and attractiveness ‘tothe display. Hops are prominent among Nevada’s products, and one vine is. shown that is forty-six feet in length. The vegetable exhibit is magnificent as tosize and variety. Some immense cucumbers, tomatoes, beets, onions, cabbages, carrots and sauashea ara shown, Eight squashes are in the exhibit, that came from one vine, the combined weight of the lot being 605 pounds, 3 Nevada county is one of the richest mining countiesinthe State. and the «xhibit of minerals is large and varied. Specimens of gold quartz from a large uumber of mines show the richness of Nevada’s ledges, and a cabinet contains some valuable nuggets as well as 4 fine collection of moss agates. One of the most interesting articles in the Pavilionin the line of minerals is a case showing products of the Spenceville copper mine. The case contains the raw ore as well as solid copper ingots, Paint, cement, iron :pyrites, sulphur and blue stone—all from the

mine, are shown in the collection. This portion of the exhibit is peculiarly instructive as showing the changes which take place as--the oreis-being-} turned into ingots. Mr. Nickerson says that this industry is still young, but it is destined to be a source of great wealth to Nevada county. As a whole, Nevada county’s exhibit is most complete and illustrates the bounteous resources of that county in a most creditable manner. .

Compressed air was used-for power in runningthe cars from the 10th to the 16th level, and this being cut off the men had to walk up the gangway to. the tenth level, which was‘a heavy labor. In ascending from No 10 to the surface on the -cage the men said there was a distinct smell of gas, as at the time of the fire several monthsago, and the ‘presence: of smoke was detected, which gave them a decided scare, but there was no evidence of fire. The night shift men, who were ready to go on duty, were not sent down last evening. The repairs to the pipe were expected to be made last night, and work will be resumed today. —_—_—_—_——————— A MAN charged with attempting to work a racket ought to be tried-in-a tennis court. _ Tux self-made man is frequently exceedingly proud of avery poor job.
