the subject, but will simply state that
many of our worthy citizens desire con

SCARCITY OF NEWS.
From what little news we have
received from the outside world one
would think that we were segregated
cat off from not only Gods moral
heritage, but from the political and
silver producing heritage Of the world,
aud that our name would be known no
more hence aud forever in history, only
to the tune of Aud Lang Syne."
But tell You snch i not the ease. the
elements may kick; but Winters
will successfully bridge the Owyhee,
aud the indonlitsble spirit Of Winnie
mncca and other portions of this
section of the heritage will maintain a
stage and express roHte via of Winnie

know tha character OF enr country,
know that We have one of the richest
countries in the world. We do not ex-
poet, for the moment, to leap in the
twinkling of an eye to the considera-
tons OF the bonauzls Of the Comstock
range; but We do sincerely think that
with same means of development tire
noted Comstock will not lead us
much in mineral Productions. The
agricultural resources that surround
this mineral belt are unparalleled.
The soil of Independence aud Bull Run
valleys aud the valley Of the OSyhee
will equal anything in the State for
farming purposes. Already prepare
tons are being made to put in large
area OF ground in Bull Bnn Valley;
