C,,c rUTUKE OF NEVADA.

The following is from the San Fran
c;sco Call of last Saturday: 1t has been
che fashion. Of late years, to speak OF
Nevada as a "played-out" State. The
cessation of dividends from the mines OF
the Comstock lode has been chiefly re-
snon,ible for the opinion. To the out
side world, the Comstock is the State OF
Nevada.
No one familiar with the possibilities
of the State admits that 1t Is either
"pIayed out or worked out. There
has been, and still is, depression in min
ing centers. Bonanzas have been ex'
hausted. and miners have wandered to
new fields in Arizona, Idaho, Alaska and
elsewhere, yet it is the opinion OF we'll
informed Nevadans that, leaving aside
agriculture and grazing interests, the
mineral development of the State IS yet
in its infancy. The hills are still dotted
with prospect camps, and new discoveries
are daily chronicled. Sales OF mining
properties to parties who propose to WORK
them on business principles are con-
stsntly occurring.
Some changes have been going on, n
Others are in prospect, which will largely
aid the future OF mining. The great
drawback to the prosecution of work
has been the heavy expense. including
e~xtravagant salaries of Superintendent ss,
the excessive cost Of transportation, and
general p~rodigality Of expenditure. This
is being remedied. The big salaries
have been cut down to reasonable fig
ures; the numerous leak. holes in manage
ment have been stopped. There is a
tendency to division of labor By diyorc-
ing milling and reduction from mining
proper, which, it is believed, will result
in an Improvement of processes n
greater economy in working. The
transportation question is still in the
future, but there are signs OF a change
here also. The Utah Southern, with its
present terminus at Frisco, near the
Nevada line, is already taking ore from
Eastern Nevada to Salt Lake for reduc.
ton. There is a prospect Of the con-
tinuation of q connecting line across the
State to California. Settlement OF the
country along the line, competitive rates
and the construction of short feeders
will settle the question Of transportation,
and enable the State to utilize its dor
mant resources.

Richard A. Proctor, in Harper's Maya
zine for June. in a long article on "How
Earthquakes are Caused" sums up the
question with the following: There can
be very little doubt, indeed, that the
great cause of every great subterranean
disturbance is water in the form of
steam-steam superheated, under great
pressure, and therefore possessing much
greater expansive power than steam at
ordinary temperature.

NEW YORK, May 2s.-There are indica-

munds bill WITH reference to polygamy has
had an unexpected effect upon the lead
ers of the Mormon Church. Under

Mormons have been .impelled to
make a protfer of the sale of all
their personal property to a syndicate of
Eastern capitalists, with the intention of
emigrating to Mexico and taking with them
such of their followers as can be induced to
leave Utah. The proposition has been laid
before several large Eastern capitalists,
who have been invited to consider it pure
ly from a business standpoint. The
agent in the matter is John w.
Young, a son of Brigham Young by his first
wife. Young was one of the contractors for
the building of the Union Pacific Road, and
is sharp business man. He has been here
1or two or three months ON this mission and
has one of his wives with him. Thus far
Young has made no progress beyond get
ting a hearing from capitalists who have
taken his scheme under consideration.
