It and hardly week passes that
S does not put in a good word for n,
vada. IN his last letter he has IL
n following TO say concerning Neyad
as 4 senitariura:
$ GLORIOUS climate" that stand
/ ing boast OF Los Angeles, is an in
digencus product of Nevada. 1t i
sometimes "under cloud" for /.
day or two, but not often. In thu
whole 365 days of the year, there i:
not ten days in which the sun fails
to shine for a time, if only for an
hour or two. Wholly cloudy DAYS
are almost unknown. In the Min
ing and Scientific Press of February
IS is an article recommending all
persons suffering from affections OF
the respiratory organs, either pull
(, monary or bronchial, to become
desert-dwellers. The Press particu-
larly recommends Mohave desert.
The object to be attained by living
IL desert are pure air and sun
shine-nothing else. Now, these
being the sole objects, there is not
the slightest occasion for an invalid
to hermit like make his home on a
desert. In Neyada-indeed al
most anywhere in the Great Basin
region-may be enjoyed almost con-
slant sunshine withnot a square rod
OF malarial ground within five hun
dred miles. TO go into the Mohave
desert, or any other desert is Who'll
ly unnecessary. Plenty of beauti-
ful valleys 1T an elevation OF from
1900 10 5000 feet above the level |!
OF the sea may be found where !
there is just as much sunshine ard |
just as little malaria as in the Mo-
have desert. The Mohave desert !
is merely the present California
view of the situation. 1t is begin
ming to be very apparent to both
people of the East and those of
California, that consumptive per-
sons derive no benefit from settling
n any OF the sea side health re-
sorts. The increased death roll of
California since the rush OF men
md women o. "one-lnng" to that
rate shows this. is useless fer
he people OF moist, foggy and ma
arious New England States to come Il
. California and settle down in ,
loist and foggy sea-ccast towns. I
he Californians now see this and c
commend tie Mohaye desert. q
