LETTER FROM NEVADA.
EUREKA, April 18th, 1877.

Editors Anderson IntelAgencer
Being requested by some Of my friends
to write an article for your paper in re-
gard to the resources and mining devel-
opments of Nevada and other portions of
our great West, I will endeavor to give
you short sketch. This is my first at
tempt to write for newspaper, but, not
withstanding, few facts may not prove
uninteresting to the readers of your wide
ly circulated paper. The population
and wealth of Nevada bear but slight
proportion to the value of her products
and the extent of her resources. In the
first place it has the smallest number of
inhabitants of any State in the Union,
but in value of products in proportion to
population she may claim the highest
rank. These are shown by the figures
of the statistician, and are proof Of q
wealth unequalled in any part of the
known world. With a population of
about $4,000 it produces annually about
$40, 100000 in gold and silver, besides
other minerals and the products of graz
ing and agriculture.
From the great yield of the mines this
has obtained the sobriquet of the "Silyer
State" and well does she deserve it.
From s35, 100000 to s4O,OO0,ooo Of treas
ure year for so small a population is
most wonderful, and ought to attract the
attention of every one who can read or
hear the statement. With such produc-
ton and such evidence of wealth, the
slow advance in population and develop
ment is subject of inquiry. The reason
of this probably is that it has been the
popular custom to speak disparagingly of
the State, of its sage brush plains, its
barren hills, its alkali deserts and its cold
climate constantly comparing the latter
with the soft, mild climate Of California,
and all similar comparisons as equally
unfair. From this pernicious and unpa-
triotic custom bad impression has been
made abroad that has deferred many
from seeking this as home. 1t is true,
I will admit, that to those who are fresh
from the Eastern and Western States,
where they have always been accustomed
to broad fields of waving grain and sur
rounded with every comfort oflife, 1 say
I will admit that, at glance over the
bleak looking mountains and sage brush
plains, the prospect does not look e1-
tremely inviting to the eye of the tourists
who are seeking out new home in the
great West, and the consequences are
that he speeds on as fast as steam can
take him to the rich and highly Guilt
vated valleys of California, of which he
has heard so many fattering accounts.
Hence, with the exception of few capi-
talists and mine owners, the country is
filled up with q kind of floating popula-
ton and hardy adventures, who come

STARVING WORKING MEN.

Sixty thousand men are idle In the coal
districts OF Pennsylvania. Trsmps are
wandering up and down the country look
ing for work, and thousands Of skilled
and honest Workmen throughout the Onion
are seeking for work and finding none.
There must be stop to this soon. Either
Affairs must grow worse or better either
capital must put forth It's strong arm In q
manner TO require the aid of these starving
laborers and skilled artisans, or confusion
and disturbance will come, aud with them
the incendisry's torch and mob riotous-
ness. This grave danger Is imminent all
over the country, These men will obtain
bread at all hazards before they will
sink into the grave by starvation.
Hungry men cry for bread only so long,
and then they demand 1t 10 spirit Of IRE
sistible desperation. They cry. "the world
owes US q living and we will have II by
work If you will give us employment; II
not then we obtain bread by force" An
ounce Of prevention is worth pound Of
cure. Letthe Government therefore, open
ups new system Of internal improvements
and give these starving men work enough
at least with which to secure bread. Let
the capitalists In their own interests and
for their own protection start to life the
idle wheels Of industry and aid In develop.
ing the mighty resources which abound
Everywhere. and only need the touch Of
gold to make them blessing to mankind.

THE IyTE9IoR DEP4RTMENr.


Although the selection OF Mr.. CARL
scpuRz as Cabinet officer was received
with universal satisfaction throughout the
country, still there VAS tendency at first
among the press to doubt his executive
ability. They claimed that his whole life
had been literary one. and that he would
provo too theoretical in the Interior De-
partment, where great executive ability is
required to be practical. Mr.. SCHURz
has OF been Secretary Of the Interior a
full month and yet he has demonstrated
the fact that no not only has remarkable
executive ability. but has the power to put
It to practical use. He has addressed
letters to all the heads Of
bureaus, requesting them to
make reports pointing out the defects and
workings of the different Departments. so
that he might remedy the defects and i'm
prove the interests wherever such course
was needed. Some Of the reports made
are admirable, and show that true spirit
Of civil service reform and economy has
taken possession Of the Department of the
Interior under the new Secretary, With
the able and efficient force now at his com.
mand. and the honest disposition TO pro.
mote civil service reform which they dis.
play, combined with the excellent condi.
ton In which the Department was found
after Mr.. CHASDLER's administration,
Secretary ScHURz will undoubtedly accom-.
plish one Of the most successful admins

Tho Work OF the Central Dispensary-Funds
Needed to Maintain the Institution.
In the early part Of 1871 number Of physi-
clans of this city conceived the idea of estsb-
fishing a dispensary for the benefit OF the
poor of the District. A meeting was held for
the purpose Of considering the feasibility OF
the movement, and It was determined to es-
tablish dispensary to be known as the Cen
trail Dlspensary. IL was opened May 8, 1871,
at lite present location, corner OF Tenth and z
street. northwest. Since the da'e Of Its open
iug IL has done vast deal of good, and had
II not been for this institution hundreds OF our
poor citizens In sickness would have not only
suffered for medical attendance, but for medi-
cines, and by its establishment hundreds Of
lives have undoubtedly been saved.
Al it's organization, May 8, 1871, the officers
of the Institution were as follows: Dr.. n. II.
Barker, DR.. A. Brockenbrough, DR.. n. How
ard, DIR. ?. 7. Kecne. DR.. @, l.. Magruder and
DR.. Ralph Walsh.
PATIENTS TREATED.
From the date Of It's organic stion to Jsnu
ury, 1875, the number Of patients treated was
1850; from January, 1876, to January, 1876,
2,131; total number OF patients trested from
date Of organization to April 1877, 5,665. or
this number 1854 have been treated during
the past eighteen months. During the years
previous to 1876, the average expense OF the
instilutio was $500 per annum. During the
pact year tho attendance has increased four
fold, and during the present year the institu-
ton cannot be kept up unless the managers
receive greater support than they have here
tofore received.
At the present time II Is supported by vol
untary contributions from our citizens. with
the exception Of the paltry sum Of 5000. The
physicians do not receive q dollar for their
services, and are often called on at tho mid
hour Of night In all kinds OF weather TO visit
some poor person, and surely II physicians.
with the standing they have among their pro-
fessional brethren and the practice they enjoy,
charge the District can afford to expend more
money than they are now expending In keep
ing the dispensary from closing cut. Tho
officers arc making every excrtion TO keep the
dispensary In operation, but unless they re-
ceive greater assistance their effertc Will prove
futile. The attending staff are Doctors II.
