Nevada Wakes up From He
Spree and Concludes to
/ Co e Work.
| On last Saturday evening. q
Reno, the State of Nevada weke NJ
and began to stretch its limbs. Ne
vada was drunk with the excite
mont which followed the Comstsch
discovery and SINCE that time it has
been sleeping off its drunk.
We, as q State, are getting over
the effects of that financial debauch
and have reached the conclusion
that to recover our exchsquer, We
must 20 to work.
The trouble with Nevada Is that
it had toe much luck early in lite.
1t is like q young lad who with no
idea Of tho world or the value of
money, is turned loose BY IN indul-
gent father with $4,000 cash to
see life with.
The boy goes through his money
in leading 4 fast life for . couple of
years and then lands on his back
fiat broke. If he has the right
kind of stuff in him, he braces up,
grabs a shovel and goes to work.
It's mighty tough for q while, but
if he has grit and honesty, he will
get to the top after while, and if
he is weak and vicious, he goes to
the dogs where he belongs and tho
world does not lose much.
Nevada Is now a good deal like
the boy who had toe much money
in his youth, but the signs now !
seem favorable to the boy getting |
On his pins and making a man of |
himself in time. He has wasted
mis- substance in riotous living and
aad high old time, but he is over
ais foolish spree, the shovel is in
ais hand, and he means to show
hat he has the right kind OF leath-
n in him. II the 1.-THE Of the hum
lreds of millions dug from the
generous soil Of this State, had
,een allowed to remain here and
applied to State development, We
would be supporting ten times the
and paying taxes ON q
um eqaalIng the amount that has
'een dug up and taken abroad.
The mining craze has left us with
! crowd of men who had rather live
n idIeness waiting for another
'eom rather than 20 out and cult
ate the fields.
They vainly hope for return of
be old time riot and excitement
rhen fortunes were lost and won in
single nonth. These times, it ID
, be hoped will never return.
We are not speaking in any dis
aragement of the industry of the
arly pioneers who wrenched
'rtune from the rocks, but Of
ne army of worthless idlers and
ummers who simply hung about the
of industry to catch the
olden crums which fell from the
,ble of Cresus.
They are with us yet and while
rev are waiting for Cresus to
bread another meal, they refuse to c
it fiager for State development.
