Our Town-Its Future.

Perhaps no town situated OH the limo
of the Central Pacific Railroad has such
IL brilliant future in prospect aS our
| own. / do not assert this out Of mere
egotisrn, but have substantial proofs 10
back my assertion. When III 90 this
little place was started, and suddenly
doomed up with almost i Loo inhaGit-
ants. which were brought here by tho
White Pine excitement, all expected
that after the mining excitement it
would again dwindle down TO It's former
size and nothinSncss. None at that
time dare assert that this would prove
itself one Of the leading agricultural
counties Of the State; but, nevertheless,
such il is. and our grain yield this year
barley crop will not yield quite rs
abundant rs Tint of former years; but
this is not owing 10 any failure Of crops,
| bnt the acreage sown wns less, and for
every acre less of barley we have two
Of wheat. Wheat being comparatively
IL new thing in this county, this being
only its second year of trial, mn not
prepared TO say what the yield will he.
although can sag with confidence that
sufficient will he brought into town to
give tho Touring mill plenty OF work
for the n"N' six OF sight months. az
nil the -Four Of former years had to coEe
from California, the saving III frcishts
10 the town aud county generally will
be over forty Thousand dUlia:s year
cash, which is 40 small item III itself,
not 10 mention the first cost OF the Hour
which was as much ngain almost.
We now get TO what We nrc most
proud OF, a. il shows that through the
energy and capital Of cur citizens We
have found and developed lode of rs
rich bearing ore AZ there is in this State,
contrary to tho expectations oi the So
called mining c&psr;S, through whose
reports prejudice was brought 10 bear
against northern mines that only the
