Mines were first discovered in
the county in 1869. Nothing was

1885, Was $4,000, OQ0, an increase

important city of Las Vegas, and
more than four times the popula-

one which exceeded Lincoln in
wealth last year. Total taxation
for all purposes is but $50 per
800. County finances are flour

years are being rapidly paid from
the surplus of the present.

the farmer and all breeders should not
