comprised within the limits OF storey
county, and situated i n the Districts of
Virginia city and Gold Hill, were never,
in their palmies. days, in a more healthy
condition than at present. When silver
lodes were first discovered in this sec
ton of the world, the prospector and
discoverer were almost entirely at fault
in regard to the proper method of devel-
opiuc them, and culpsble carelessness
and ignorance were also manifested in
the eudeavors to separate the silver from
the base materials with which it was
mixed. No system Of economy having
an eve to the future was thought worthy
of consideration, and the waste Of the
precious metal in most instances ex-
ceeded in value the returns. Such n
state Of reckless imaginary wealth could
not, upon any hypothesis, be long main
tanned. The crash came in '63 and 81,
and thousands were crushed under the
ruins Of the edifice they had so weakly
constructed. Mining stocks, real estate
and every description Of property depre-
ciated with a rapidity that was truly
appalling. Poverty knocked at the door
Of hundreds, who thought themselves
secure from the ravages of want IN the
castle Of Ctopiau wealth, and public
confidence in mines and in all species
Of property, real or collateral, was en-
tirely DESTROYED. Financial chaos reign
ed throughout the State. Public and
private credit received a shock which
for a time parslyzed every department OF
business. Thousands were thrown out
of employment, and for a season bank
rup,cy appeared to be the inevitable
doom Of the State. But amidst all this
confusion and dependency, there were
some who did not yield to the violent
gus, of the tornado, but had full faith IN
an Ultimate triumph over every disaster,
and that the State would emerge out OF
her FINAL distress purified as by tire.
wha, i, the condition of Nevada At the
present? Her workshops are crowded
with mechanics, her miners underground
are busy as ants, bringing forth TO light
every tweuty-four hours vast sums OF
wealth. In every department OF trade
and labor. thrift is visible on every side.
There is uone 10 complain but the would
be idle and vicious. In the management
OF the mines. the reckless and improv-
ideut expenditures Of the past, has given
place to the strictest economy consistent
with the interests Of those who have in
vested capitrl IN them. The judicious
selection of Trustees 10 examine into
from time 10 time their condition, and
the selection by them Of efficient. prac-
teal and energetic Superintcndents, TO
direct the proper development OF the
mines, has placed the same on II per-
msnent basis, rs property perfectly safe
for investment, and worthy tue attention
of capitalists. The present recuperation
is no, imaginary but real. Real and
p~ersoual property has dIrably advanced,
stability aud confidence in public and
privste transactions OF a financial char
acter. have resumed n substautialtooting
and in the erection of new mills, the
developing of new mines. the resump-
ton of work on old ones, the pressing
orders 70 be filed At our fouudries for
machinery, the demand for timber At
the mines, the erection OF new dwellings,
,pd stores, the requisition for all kinds
of labor, are visible proofs that the
State is entering upon a sure, an unusu-
al degree of prosperity. The past was
the shadow, the present the substance.
The early completion OF the Truckee
Railroad, essential TO the vital interests
of every department IN the State, imam
cial. mining, trade and labor, in 'mpoT-
lance, and economy, cannot be over eS-
t;ma,ed. Millions OF tons of ore are
waiting its construction, to be trans.
formed into silver bars; thousands OF
cords Of wood are waiting transporsa-
ton 10 the furnaces, millions OF feet OF
feet of lumber are delayed in reaching
their destination under ground, enor-
nous quantities Of freight and travel,
wait TO fully compensate the capitalists
who will hasten its construction. The
citizens have no grounds for despond-
ency, when viewing the present pros
porous condition OF affairs. There Will
be lust grounds for n celebration and an
illumination, when the shrill whistle OF
the iron horse, md the thunder OF his
wheels are heard rumbliug toward tins
vast mint of wealth.
