coast what Is to he the future of Nevada, if
as seems more than likely, the Comstock mines
are wholly exhaus'cds The state has popu
laton of scarcely $4,000, and offers few induce
mepts TO new settlers, especially if her mines
are used up. Only a few patches and streaks
of the land are fit for agriculture, and not
much Is good for stock.ralsing. Even the
small population now possessed by the state Is
diminishing, many of the miners about the
