A coon WORD roe NEVADA.


The Daily Report, . paper which has
always been ready TO speak we'll Of Ne
vada. gives this State . good slice OF fair
play in the following:
When California shall have 6lled up
with population. so that its lands will no
longer be cheap, and it's hills will have
been thoroughly prospected and located.
Nevsds's turn will come. 1t may even
come before Californis's new tide OF i'm
migration shall have ceased TO flow, for
a portion Of such a food always fritters
way into adjacent territory when the
river Of immigration is booming.
Nor will this new phase Of Pacific Coast
settlement be long delayed. Men and
capital are pouring into California very
fast now; with each succeeding year the
influx will be vastly greater, and in 9
few years people looking for the great
and sudden opportunities a comparatively
new State offers to the enterprising-
such as Central and Northern California
now-will have to invade Nevada to seek
their fortune, and will find it there.
Nevada is at present an almost I'M.
known land. The greater portion Of
aver Cslifornians regard it as Q mass Of
rugged mountains, set around with wide
and dreadful deserts Of alkali-s place

tion Of the 80, 900 do. Fortune, in Ne
vada, does not lie only in its auriferous
quartz veins, but in its copper. lead, coal,
marble, salt, sulphur, borax and other
deposits Of indispensable minerals. 1t
is also assured by it's great agricultural
resources, for ever the most arid Of its
deserts has abundance Of water beneath
it nearly within reach Of a mans arm.
In so, ZOO, 900 acres of valley land, rich

San Franciseans are accustomed to talk
as though this city's tributary territory
had been reduced by Eastern conquest
to California only, and possibly a small
slice Of Arizona and Oregon. Let us

regard to Oregon. Let US be the first in

THE COLD SNAP.

The recent cold wave has been the
severest known in this country in twenty
years. The papers bring appalling &C.
counts Of death and disaster in the East.
In fact. in all parts of the world the
weather has been unprecedentedly cold.
Men and women froze to death in bed in
the Northwest, while the water pipes
bursted in San Francisco. In Southern
California the orange crop is believed to
be blasted and perhaps ruined totally.
With us Of Nevada we have escaped more
fortunately. The storm will prove a
blessing to our State. As far as known
the live stock have not suffered imate-
rally, while the great snowfall insures q
bountifpl supply Of water and abundant
grass next season.
In comparison with the weather both
East and West Of US, the people of Me-
vada have suffered less from the cold
than their unfortunate brethren in either
direction. While the mercury here reg
listers a very high degree of cold. it is
nevertheless true that it is not the keen.
penetrating cold experienced in less fav-
ored localities. 1t is the damp atmos-
phere that freezes people. Our climate
being dry. the cold is never intense. And
this brings us to claim for Nevada the
finest Winter. as well as Summer climate
on the face OF tine earth. In ali the range
Of the civilized world, there is no place
so highly favored in many respects as the
much-abused ard mueh-belied sagebrush
State.

Remedy for Smallpox.

An efectual remedy for smallpox is
said to have recently been found by a
surgeon Of the British army in China.
The mode of treatment is as follows
When the preceding fever is at its
height, and just before the eruption APP
pears, the chest is rubbed with croton
oil and tartaric ointment. This
causes the whole Of the eruption to APP
pear on that part of the body, to the
relief of the rest. 1t also a
full and complete eruption and thus
prevents the disease from attacking
the internal. This is now the es-
tablished mode of treatment in the
English army in China and is re-
garded as a perfect cure.-Ex.

PUSHING EASTWARD.
NIinnesota's Inspectors Still Ex-
aiming Prisons.

Gov. McGill yesterday received another
communication from Tasting H. Hart, who,
with Prison Inspectors Dunn, Doe and Nor
rish, is investigating the prison systems of
the Eastern states. Grand Rapids and Ionia,
Mich, were the places touched since the
commission left Chicago. ''While the Michi-
gan law allows contracts, writes Mr.. Hart,
"and efforts to abolish the system have failed
before two successive legislatures, yet the
agitation Of the question made manufaet-
urers tlnlid, and on the expiration of one of
the contracts, about two years ago, the men
were employed on the state account.
Cheaper grades of furniture were maaufaet-
ured, a furniture house having con-
tracted to take the entire product in the
white al stipulated prices. This has already
grown to be the leading industry of the
prison. 1t employs 105 men and nets the
state about 80 cents per day per man." The
capital invested i'll the machinery is $40, 400.
Thirty-seyen men are employed i'll making
sacks on state account, and $50 men are
manufacturing cigars on the contract sys-
tenn. An average of 4712 cents per day is re-
eeived by the state for each man thus en-
ployed.

AN OMISSION DENOUNCED.
A Slight RinpIe in the Olsen Case.

"A StiSHG RtpEiaC his VIZ SsoN'A ONs''S'
There was slim attendance at the
Olsen trial yesterday, and the day was
consumed in hearing the evidence of
Mrs. Eckberg, who related Olsen's
treatment OF Mrs. Linderman during
the latter's illness, and Mrs. Carrie
Olsen. who aided the prisoner in draw
ing the money from the Bank Of Mime
sofa. Counselor Erwin created a sensa-
ton by asking that the jury should be
sent out of the court room temporar-
ily while he made a statement.
when the jury had retired Mr. Erwin
declared that the press Of the city had
omitted the testimony of an important
witness for the defense regarding the
ANALYSIS Of the spinal column. He
thought that the omission would damage
the case when the jury rendered It's
verdict, and especially since the witness
had testified that there was no arsenic
in Mrs. Lindman's stomach. Judge
Kelly notified the reporters present
that they must not make public what
MI. Erwin had stated, but subsequently
modified this decision. and Instructed
them to refrain from expressing any
opinion which might bias the public.
