Because Carson is Its capital, anG because
of the mining excitement at Virginia City,
before the bottom fell ont Of the bonanzag,
those two towns are best known of any in
the Silver State but Reno, just within its
western border, Is today doing more bust
ness than any town in Nevada. Not on
home capital, however. lis location at the
rlouth OF Il successive series Of mountain
valleys leading northwest brings 70 its
doors nearly al the trade OF northeastern
! California The part Of California that pays
tribute to this town is one comparatively
unknown. Some years ESQ, during the
. Iittle unpIeasantness between Captain Jack
and General Cauby's troops, . few nevspa-
nor reporters described atlon9sh the lava
/ beds wherein was located the Moloo var.
! EOue of the climatic, agricultural, grazing
/ or other advantages were noticed, hence an
! idea has gone forth that this corner q the
! State IS worthless and given over to cay0rt-
Ing Indians. Let me uDGcCsiVa you, as
