Nh. EDIToR;-Ln laying aside the
labors of the farm and taking up my
pen to become contributor to your
ever welcome paper, | do not think
that can improve on, or perhaps do
as we'll, as the different persons who
have been corresponding from this Val
ley to your paper of late.
THE PROSPECTS OF THIS VALLEY NEVER
LOOKED BRIGHTER
And more encouraging to the toiling
pioneers, who first placed foot in this
beautiful garden of Nevada, than it
does at the present time. Upon all
sides you can see improvements going
on, buildings being erected, houses
made more beautiful and farms being
enclosed with good and substantial
wire fences. Among the most notable
at the present is the erection Of a large
and substantial building by our worthy
citizen Charles Kemler. which is to be
used for store. saloon and public hall,
and which will be an ornament to- the
Valley, and credit to the gentlemaa's
enterprise.
IT IS A PLEASING SIGHT
To the eye to travel through this Valley
at the present time, and gaze upon the
thousands of acres of splendid growing
grain about ready for the sickle of the
husbandman. although we have been
visited with the pests-grasshoppe
aud crickets-which have done some
little damage. yet there is plenty left
for all, and fine harvest awaits the
honest farmer. The thousands of fat
cattle grazing on our mountain sides is
but the prelude to plethoric purse to
those who are engaged in that business,
| and best OF all at the present time is
OUR MINING PROSPECTS.
Without any doubt We have as good.
If not the best, prospects for substan-
tial bonanza of any camp in the State.
There Is being extracted at the present
time as rich silver bearing ore as was
ever found in the State. Taking all
together, l say again that the pioneers
of this valley may we'll feel proud of
their future prospects.

SOMETHING POLITICALLY.
To look through your excellent paper
and not see any names of persons who
woald serve their country at the peo-
pies expense looks gloomy indeed.
