SEvADA's RE SOURCES.
Fruit Raising, and Other industries
that Promise Well.

The Virginia Chronicle says for years
past it has been a favorite custom of
greenhorns, and even of old residents who
know better. to run down this State as
an agricultural State. AT the same time
the resources and adaptability of Nevada
arc something wonderful. just like Cali
fornia, Nevada is in transition state be-
tween mining and an agricultural com
munity. Nowhere on the coast can bet
| ter soil and climate be found, and only
now are we growing out OF the drouthy
condition, go long accepted as matter OF
fact necessity. All that is required for
| THE BROAD VALLEYS
OF the sagebrush domain is water and
plenty OF 1.-THE soil is there. Where
can finer potatoes be found than in Ne
vada? In fact, every tuber thrive mirac-
ulously here. Reno, Carson and Dayton
Strawberries beat all others on the coast.
The plums and pears Of Washoe Valley
cannot be equaled. Apples of the finest
flavor and of the jucie8t kind are grown
everywhere, while grapes, figs, oranges
and lemons find a homo in Lincoln
county. Dayton, which some years ago
was an arid center of Stun ponds, is
now 4 bower oil
| FRUIT AND FLOWERS.
Cherries of the finest kind have been
raised for years where the old Occidental
| mill used to stand in Gold Ravne. Sill
yer City is bower of roses. Truckee
| Meadows, but for the biting frosts, could
furnish enough fruit to supply the State
almost, not to speak of Carson, Genoa and
other valley towns. Hops OF the finest
kind grow wild on the banks of the
Truckee, near Reno, while wild tobacco
luxurates on the banks OF the Humboldt.
FISH OF ALL KINDS
| Abounds in our lakes and rivers while
the mountain nights feed armies OF cattle
| and sheep of the best breed and variety.
Angora and Cashmere goats have been
/ introduced to swell the record of Nevada's
choice wool product. Various parts of
the State breeding home of fine Normen,
Percheron, Clydesdsle. Norwegian and
Siberian horses, while the very highest
grades OF both beef and milch cattle are
being raised on the ranges. The day OF
the old Texas steer is gone--the Nevada
rancher and former is only satisfied with
the best he can raise, for it costs no more
than the poorest. Cotton finds home
in Lincoln county, and
FLAX AND HONEY
are staple products. Nevada wheat is
to-day pronounced the very best in the
world, and mills are multiplying and
turning out the best quality of -four.
The silkworm is even being domiciled in
the southern portion of the State. Ne.
vada will perhaps have lasting silk in.
,lustry some day. It may not be that
her tea, tobacco, silk, cotton, and other
products will ever attain great dimen'
sions az industrial pursuits, but whatever
the amount raised, it will be the very
best and command the highest notch o.
figures.
| Hub Parker, present Fish Commission
or, is enthusiastic on the subject of thi!
States resources. He holds that Ne
vada is
A MINIATURE WORLD
In itself with complete system of lane
and water resource, such az cannot b.
duplicated the world over. By and b,
artesan wells will multiply, and tn
valleys Of Nevada will astonish the worl,
in amount Of variety Of production. He
waterways are the sites of future i'm
mense manufacturing industries, Will
her mountains and gulches are store
houses OF treasure, hitherto only scratche
on the surface.
