THE MUDDY-lTS RESOUHCES AND
VANS.
COTTON GROWING.


From VIM. Anderson, who resides nea,
St. Thomas, in this country, We gather
some interesting facts in regard to the
cultivation OF cotton i'll that section OF
Lincoln, adding another to the MANY
sources of wealth IL which the country
abounds. NJ. Anderson has from st ven
tn ten acres .,nt, a Nh. Carter Ga South
ern man and quite familiar with The e''i-
fivatiun of cotton IN the Southern States }
has over twenty acres. Both climate ana
soil On the Muidy are favorable to tie
growth of cotton and cuitlratois III the
staple are not troubled by bugs Oh CO..
depretlators upon their crops. Inc cot
ton tree grows to a greater hight than III
the Cotton States of the South. and Oh
the Muddy the yield is greater. and the
quality OF the cotton superior. The st'i-
pI. has been cult .ut.d to-, limited extent
for several years. but owing to the iso-
lated geographical position oi that section
the public has not been fully advised of
tho interesting fact. Planting Ii CON-
menced between the middle Of April and
the same time in May, and in about five
months the cotton Is ready to pick. The
crops on the Muddy are looking exceed
inyiy well, and give every promise OF
Welding abundantly. A good market Is
obtained ut the plant.ti' III where the cot
ton is raised. The cotton and WOODEN

has a;,aerd to send IL gin to the Muddy.
gin the cotton and pay Is cents Il pound
for it on the ground. The day is not
distant when Muddy Valley will be
;hickly settled with cotton growers.
WANT OF NAIL FACILITIES.
We have On more than one occasion
previously advocated the establishment
of better mail facilities for the accommo-
.iation Uf settlers Oh the Muddy. Iheir
locality Is about as isolated as any spot
within the jurisdiction Of the United
States, except, perhaps, some remote
parts of Alaska. These settlers Oh the
Muddy have worked against every di>ad
vantage resulting from their rrnutenss>
from all the cen,ers Of trade; vet they
hive struggled on until now the former
waste places are brought under cultlva-
ton. BY extending them ample mail
facilities and opening roads to tn. ir set
Element, they will be better able to drvel-
Up the rich resources of that region, and
in turn the whole country will he benr-
fitted by the more rapid settlement Of
that part of the country. and an increase.
in the amount of taxable property. The
route proposed should b-siu ut Bullion
vile. one continue on through Meadow
v lley Wash and the Upper Ma,iiy set-
Elements to Las Vegas. 49, miles; thence
to the Potosl mines, IS miles; thence to
Ivanpah, 30 miles; thence To New York
District, % miles; thence tn H srdyvllle,
50 mil-s-a distance of 27J miles from
Bulliunville to Hardyville- This route
would accommodate not less than SUI
people, and onght to be established at
once.
BETTER ROADS NEEDED

the Muddy Is better road communication
with Phoebe. They wonld thus be EN-
abled to bring their produce to this mar
ket and valuable trade woulh soon
spring up between the Muddy settle
meuts AMI the merchants OF Phoebe.
NO RESERVATION.
Mr.. Anderson comedies III the opinion
before expressed that the establishment
IF an Indian reservation on the Muddy
would be fraught with irreLartble Ia jury
to tina settlers there. 1t Is to be hoped
that the wishes of the settlers will be-
respected. and that no reservation be es-
tsbIlshei there.-PiOche Rec. rd.
