agHis.R We propose to give a few points
why we do not agree with this view Of
the case. We will, in the first place, take
a glance at tie mineral resources. We
And, near the western border Of the State,
the noted Comstock ledge, which to-day
yields more ore, employs more men and
more machinery, and produces more actual
hard cash than any other ledge on the
face of the globe. In the central portion
Of the State is a large scope Of country
Astounding in silver and gold mines,
which, as far as developed. have proven to
be of surprising richness. This belt Of
argentifsrous quartz formation seems to
extend from the extreme northern portion
Of the State TO the extreme southern bor-
der. The belt is from ten to fifty miles in
width, and comprises a great number OF
lodges. In addition TO this there is yet
another region Of country which is said to
be exceedingly rich, which lays along the
eastern border Of the State. We have
thus far confined ourself strictly to the
more precious metals. silver and gold; IN
addition TO which we have a large number
Of the richest copper mines ever discovered.
Also lead mines, where the lead is found
in regular veins Of such size that hundreds
Of tons maybe taken out daily. In some
instances in different parts Of the State has
q fair quality of coal been found, and
doubtless when properly prospec,ed. for
an abundance Of that very necessary arti-
Gle will be discovered. In fact. as it re-
CARDS the mineral Of the State,
the pick has scarcely been stuck In the
ground We, towards developing the wide
fields OF wealth that lay stretched out
from the Sierras to the Rocky Mountains,
and from the northern line Of the State TO
Arazona on the south. Hundreds Of
square miles Of rich mineral lands in the
State have never been traversed by man,
much less prospected. The immense cop
per lodges alone Of the State, when we
once have railroad communication, would
make this a good country. Nevada's
mineral resources are evidently better than
those Of any other State in the Union, and
when developed. the little silver star
which now wrinkles in the distance like a
satellite to some large planet, will shine
forth with as much brilliancy as any in
the grea, constellation. In addition to
our mining resources, there Is 4 great
MANY thousand acres of good land for
Agriculture. Along the borders OF all our
rivers is = rich loan soil extending back
from the streams from one 10 ten miles,
and is very productive for the growth OF
wheat, barley, oats, and all kinds of veg
s,ables. All the hay used in the State is
raised on these valleys. As an agricultu-
raj State. however, we will never be able
to compete with any OF the other Pacific
States ; yet the time will come when the
State Of Nevada will produce all the veg
e,ables tina, the people will consume.
Although We cannot follow in that path
so often trod by lofty flights OF magma
ton. and sing Of the vine-clad hills OF our
mountain home, we can boast that beneath
our sage brush clad mountains there ex-
i,ts ipeShaustible mines that will for GEN.
,uries 10 come pour forth 4 stream of
wealth which will secure TO those who dig
and toll a home where all the luxuriss OF
life may be enjoyed.
