TO CROAKERS.

State Controller Hallock, IN his
annual report, after showing that Ne
vada is self-sustaining and reciting
her achievements Of former years re-
dukes the croaker who say that the
State has collapsed and that its admis.
sion TO the Union was n mistake.
The State of Nevada instead Of be-
ing bankrupt, owes no man nor corpo-
ralion dollar, and its warrants,
unlike some other States are not
beng hawked about the streets, but
are promptly paid on presentation.
Her Indebtedness is all 20 her irreduci
Bile school funds; those funds whose
moneys can only be invested in United
STATES or Nevada bonds, and the
interest she pays all goes for the sup
port of her pubic schools
And although the language may be,
perhaps, Il little loo bounteous for the
cold formalities of statistical report
he makes some welltimed and forcble
remarks and, waves the flag of State
pride manfully, and in manner that
will cause the croakers to seek seclu.
sion in the waste basket of Democratic
reform.
And, surprising as it may seem to
her detraetors, and those who claim
that her admission into tie Union was
a mistake, This, the only Indebtedness
of Nevada, was contracted in aid of
the United States, in put ing down the
great rebellion, which SO seriously
menaced the Union. Nevada rolled
into place, in the constellation of
States at time when the pallng light
Of other stars filed the minds of the
people with gloomy forebodngs of
great peril; and its. efIulg mt silvery
light penetrated every nook and
Granny of every household In the land,
inspiring with renewed hope hearts
that were becoming Respondent, and
giving renewed strength to arms that
were becoming nerveless in our
country's cause; and in the years that
have followed, her star has shown with
no uncertain radiance On the pathway
of Liberty and Union in their grand
march, the elimination of which is the
glory Of
TIE GREAT REPUBLIC.
Her bounleous golden and silver
streams flowed through the channels
of commerce, permeating and invigor-
aiing every branch of trade, and rolled
into the National Treasury until the
Government was enabled to redeem
promises made IN sore distress, and
her securities became the preferred Sc.
curities of the world; and those
streams, though now somewhat slug
gish, still materially help to sustain the
Government in its proud financial
position, and will, in the future, ahund.
antly flow forth again, bearing substan-
tial blessings on their bright and
generous bosoms, alike to friend and
defamer
Why then should. Nevada be humil-
lated?
What State has greater cause tesbe
proud Of its brief history?
We maintain, and will continue to
maintain that there is none and to the
people of the State will say, in eonclu:
sion, that there is no cause for such
decral as they have been treated to for
some time past and that if the prop.
erty of the State were properly assessed
the necessary rate of taxation would
be SO low as to surprise even those
who are loudest in such decrlal All
OF Nevada's ailments can be cured, and
the people possess the medicine. Tha
croakers will die, but Nevada VIII
live.

WHAT ONE COUNTY CAN SHOW

An invitation comes to the Land
Agents of this State TO attend a con-
vention of Land Agents at New
Orleans on the 20lh of January. The
invitation comes too late to be accepted,
but not too late to remind us that we
have a competent representative at the
Exposition and that in the collection
under his charge there are extensive
exhibits of the mineral wealth OF
Esmeralda County. Many people who
have seen this mining section will
recognize the samples there on eShihi-
ton and will be able to tell Of the
great number of valuable mines which
are wholly unrepresenled 1t is good
time, while il is the fashion 10 look
upon Nevada as moribund State, TO
call attention to the resources of a
single county. Beginning with the
great lodges of Aurora, which are
renewing their youth and strength,
, under The energetic management of the
old-time miners Of that camp, who,
guided by sagaciiy gained by expert
ence, have kept at work under very
discouraging circumstances, we
have now bullion producing camp
which will soon rank with the great
ones of the Coast Mount Cory dis
trict, with its actual output and splen.
did prospects. Pine Grove, one OF
whose mines has produced over Q
million dollars, all on the western
edge of the county, are sufficient to
comfortably stock an ordinary State
with silver mines. All this on the
western edge with numerous almost
unprospecled camps in the same ranges.
Going east of Walker Lake, Garfield
district, with mines yielding some Of
the richest ore ever discovered, would
make a creditable showing for any
county. Then there are ellis, Santa
Fe and Silver Star, all within a short
distance of Hawthorne. Mount Grant
and Whisky Flat, with excellent pros
poets and unlimited possibilities, are
also in the western half of the county.
1t is scarcely necessary TO speak OF the
Northern Belle. Mount Diablo and
other rich mines of Candelaria they
are so well known. But it is not out
OF place to remind those who are get
ting ready to attend the funeral of a
dear departed State, that these mines
have begun operations on as large a
scale rs ever and that their output will
be equal to the revenue of some Euro
pean Kingdoms. Silver Peak, Aida
Valley, Gold Mountain and other dis
tricts assist measureably in supplying
the world with precious metals and
always show the possibilities of great
discoveries. This is simply speaking
of The prominent places. The area of
unexplored mineral land is largely in
excss of that in which any work has
been done, and, if IN a iar.away coun-
try, would itself be an attraction to
capitalists and adventures. Probably
no, county IN the United States has
equal prospects of mineral wealth and
few can show similar actual output.
This is not all. We have in our
borax works an industry, which, but
for being ovcrshadowea by the mines,
would attract attention from the out
side world, and of which more will be
said, before the hearse leaves the State
House with the remains of the State
Government.

CONGRESSMAN TAYLOR comes to the
relief of the. Postmasters by showing
that as there are about $4,000 Post
offices 10 fill, and about fifteen appl-
cants Tor each it will be physical
impossibility for the new President to
attend to 100000 claimants, and that
consequently he viii be obliged to let
the terms OF Postmasters expire, and
thus divide the burden over several
wears.
