NEVADA's FUTURE.
Bob Fulton Takes an Encouraging
View.

The Examiner of Sunday has the
following interview with Bob Fulton
of Reno:
"Within the next two or three
years." he said last evening, you will
see Nevada having the most prosper
Gus times she has ever known. We
have o had "a failure during this
hard summer. We owe next To nothing
as IA state, as counties, or MS individuals,
in comparison with other communities.
We raise 50,00O head of the finest
beef. We have $50 .0C0 tons of alfalfa,
several thousand TOM OF wheat, and
many thousand tons of the finest
kinds of potatoes, and apples, honey
and wool, in addition to gold, silver,
lead, copper, salt, boxax, soda and
iron, ETC.. are shipped. All these are
cash products, and there are not 80
many people to divide the proceeds
among as in other places, SO those
who do business in Nevada always do
we'll.
even if no more people come in
we will know prosperity. The people
of other States need what we have to
sch and they will soon begin to buy
again. The Mid-Winter Fair is going
to absorb everything eatable and drink
able that Nevada can send-the best
potatoes, the choicess apples, the
whitest honey, to say nothing of the
beef, mutton and pork we have fat
tening now.
within u short time the silver
question will be settled SO we can
either mine at a profit or devote our
energies TO business that We know will
pay.
"This panic has released more
money and men from old lines OF en-
terprise than ever was known before
and they will be seekidg new fields.
Hard times in old countries is good
for new ones. The West has been
benited by every crach the country
has eyer had. Even now half "a dozen
railroads stand ON the eastern edge of
the great basin casting longing eyes
towards the Pacific. Those which
live through the storm, especially
railroads like the Burlington, which
has just declared a dividend, bor-
row oceans of money and some of them
will race across Nevada for San Fran
cisco. Such q movement cannot fail
to heipintssest even the old roads.
"The impression has been formed
that Nevada would be dead but for
silver mining, and that the only hope
o. the state was i'll a restoration Of
free coinage. Anything that would
add to the price of silver would un-
doubleday add to Nevada's prosperity
but because We cannot mine our sill
yer at u profit is no reason why we
should not develop other resources.
We are opening gold mines in sew
eral places, notably in Humboldt coun'
~ and near Wadsworth, in Washoe
county. We have hills that assay 81
per cent irot, and IL or IL aluminium,
We. have tin, copper, nickel, lead and
anthony that would bring u profit
We ship hundreds of tons of gypsum
which is made into plaster of paris OH
the bay shore. We send out big ship
ments Of soda and borax, but creates,
of all we sell you hay, wheat and po'
tatoes that we expect to carry of
medals at the Columbian exhibition
with as we'll as at the Midwinter Fair
as we did ut New Orleans.
Throwing out all the mountain
lands and those out Of reach of water
we have sufficient to make a good state,

carolina. We have any quantity Of
fine land well watered, but unculti.
