nomenon Of the Virginia ChronisIe: .
Nevada is the 'our;h lnrgest State
in the Union, territuially. 1t has had
the biggest mines. md hopes to have
still bigger. 1t bnsts Of the finest
looking men, the greatest chances for
making (and losirgl money; less re.
ligion and more generosity than in any
other portion Of III, United States. Its
people live high-ou the Comstock. ut
least-nnd mainly in the future. Fare
we'll the tranquil mind; farewell con.
tent, Is the motto Of every representa-
tive Neyadan. Ne can drink harder
aud work less; live more cxtrayagantIy: /:
run in debt farther; pay moro assess
ments; receive less dividends; shoot
quicker and stab harder, and escape
without punishment more frequently
than any other people. We here cling
desperately to the rocky sides of Mount
Davidson like lot Of enieebled flies,
too weak 10 move aud too discouraged

Coal Fields la Humboldt.

The SHrer STATE, of Saturday. con.
tanned the following:
Last evening j. X. 2. MIlligan, of
Elko, and Frank Reed. d Wells, arrived
here from Paradise. They report hav.
ing found extensive coalmeasures about
fourteen miles east Of north from Para.
disc. They prospecied one vein by an
open cut aud found it 6ght feet wide.
Some years ago Mr.. lIilligan found
what he believed TO be coal, in passing
through that country, lot was unable to
find the place Afterwards. Last Sum
mer, while surveying in that section, he
found Indications Of coal, and ncci.
dentally discovered the groupings he
had seen years ago. Three OF the sur.
Veying party, l.. q. Mcclellan. j. X p.
MilligGu and Frank Reed, located claims
on the vein. and have been al work on
one Of them since carly in October.
They brought specimens Of the coal
here, which look as vel! and burn as
freely as that which is brought from the
Rocky Mountains aud costs SIG 80 per
i@". They have taken measures to
secure patents to their claims, and,
unless they are greatly deceived, will
be able to supply the whole country
with coal next year. They say the
groupings can be traced several miles,
and the indications for coal mines are
as favorable on the other side OF tho
mountain as where they have been at
work. We hope their brightest untci.
pations will be realized, and that they
have found coal fields equal to the
richest in Pennsylvania.
