NEVADA.
A Good Word from Judge Goodwin
for the State and Its People.

Nevada we'll turn in thoughts to her.
She was born in the supreme crisis OF
the nations life, with her treasures she
upheld the faith of the nations 10 our
nation, and though cloud ID upon
her now 1t is only because of condl-
tions that are unnatural and which in
little time must be changed. She
suffers for want of cheap transporta-
ton through her great mineral re-
gions and through the discount that
foul conspiracy has placed upon sill
yer. When these obstacles to her
progress shall be removed, it will be
realized once more that Nevada is the
richest mining State in the Union.
Even now she is yielding fairly well
and her product during the coming
year will he greatly swelled by the
yield of at least three great new
mines. By and by some men or COM
pany will have the nerve to drive a
railroad from Salt Lake City into
Eastern Nevada, aud when it shall be
done and the result shall be shown, it
will be an astoDishment that the
opportunity waited so long for some
one to seize it, for it will create
business That at present only few
people have the slightest conception
Of. II will make great State of Ne
vada, it will transfgure Salt Lake
City. The extension of the Utah Gen.
trail to connection with the South
ern Pacific at or near Mohave, which
will probably be completed during
the present year, will give new life to
Southeastern Nevada and have the
effect tn open up large area OF min-
eral country that from the very na
ture OF things has thus far remained
practically unexplcred. In the West
crn part of the State the people are
making arrangements to put gates upon
the water supply Of the mountains, by
which means they hope to add to the
cultable area of the State rich land
enough To give fair homes to thous-
and families, and when by and ty
land becomes more of an object the
State will, where water can be pump
ed, supply several millions of acres 10
settlers. In the southeastern part of
the State Is some of the best fruit
country ia the world. The best apples
that are being eaten in Salt Lake City
to-day come frome Nevada, and the
luccrne lands in Western Nevada are
paying mere per acre than the rich
fruit lands of California. But it will
always be as mineral State that Me-
vada will be chiefly noted and as
great mineral region she will be noted
as long as the Hartz mountains al
ready have. There is the great Com
stock, there is where the practical
men of the West added their practical
and inventive knowledge to the science
of Europe, and in fifteen years revo-
lutionized the methods of mining
and reducing silver ores to make both
fit the conditions which the desert
imposed. They made infinitely more
progress in those fifteen years than the
men of Spain and their descendants
in South America and Mexico made in
three hundred years. Nevada, as we
look as her, has reached the period of
her greatest depression and the dawn
of . grand advance for her is already
warming in the East, aud she deserves
it. No race of men ever on this earth
made as good showing according to
TO their numbers, No such numbers
ever before performed such service for
. great nation as did the men who
carved out of that Territory a State,
and il 10 bat fair that the weights
which bold the State down at present
shall be removed. Nevada is going
10 be most important factor in this
