PSPER MILL.-Some of our enterprising and
public spirited citizens, says the Reno State
Journal, ARE aGitating the question of erect
ing paper mill in this place. One of our
most reliable citizens, who has had much ex-
perience in the manufacture of paper in the
East, states that the entire cost Of machinery,
putting up buildings, etc, will not exceed
$50, COO and that the mill could be in opera
ton inside of four months from the time the
machinery was ordered from the East. Any
of the grass grown on our meadows, as also
the tues, be manufactured into q first
class article of wrapping or brown paper, and
the cost of manufacture here would be so little
90 give us good profit and put Eastern
competition out of the question. We have no
doubt but 10y the forming Of joint stock COM
pany $50, 900 can be raised for the putting up
Of n first class paper mill here, and every
share sold in the Truckee Meadows"
