A Coal Mine.

A coal mine is the latest discovery
is this county, w. A. ingalls, of
Candelaria is developing what is be-
lieved to be a large deposit of coal.
1t is located about % miles south of
Candelaria AS yet they are less
than 20 feet under ground, and they
have ledge varying from six to ten
feet wide, about half of which is be-
lieved to be good coal.
If this should prove to be large
coal deposit, its Importance can hard
ly be conjectured. 1t will be better
than gold mine.

MADE A SUCCESS.
NeYada's Resources as Shown by
Commissioner YeTington.

We take the following from re-
cent issue of the Chicago Dispatch:
Hon. j. \ Yerington, chairman of
the Nevada state board of the World
Far Commissioners, has been one of
the busiest men in Chicago during
the past few weeks, and now has the
satisfaction of seeing his state oc-
cupying a prominent place among
the exhibitors of the Worlds Fair.
Since April Mr.. Yerington has la
bored necessarily in arranging the
different exhibits and those who have
visited the Nevada booths in the
mines, agricultural and chronological
buildings are ready to admit of the
success of his efforts.
Most prominent among the State
exhibits in the agricultural building
are the magnificent displays of grapes,
figs and almonds. The rich wheat
and other cereals also cause much
comment, as few people have ever
credited Nevada with being an agri-
cultural State.
You see we can raise grain as well
as Illinois and figs and grapes as well
as California" said Commissioner
Yerington to II reporter for The Dis
patch.
IF the people would only believe
that our farming lands can produce
a value of 1928 to an acre and that
homes are cheap, there would be
more immigration to our State" he
continued.
But your State is all sand and
mines, ventured the reporter,
That is an entirely mistaken idea,
said the gentleman from Nevada
Lincoln, Washoe, Douglass, Hum
boldt and Elko counties are drained
by the Truckee, Carson, Humboldt,
Colorado and Muddy rivers as well
as dozens of minor rivers and creeks.
Aside from these we have mile after
mile of canals and dams, which rem
der irrigation easy. d. Bonellis, at
Rioville, Lincoln county, shows what
can be raised in the way of fruit,
while our wheat display is among the
best at the fair.
How is your State affected by the
silver question: was asked.
1.-THE decentralization of silver
will ruin us the same as it will ruin
the other silver states. We only
have population of A, 900 and to
day over $3.50, 900, 600 mining proper
ty is practically idle. Nevada pro-
duces much silver, but, contrary to
to general belief it also produces a
great deal of gold. In proportion
gold is 40 per cent of the mine pro-
duction. Should silver suffer our
gold mines will suffer also, as the
miner must have some other value in
order to produce his gold. With
silver at fair value and gold at a
fixed valuation Nevada is a prosper
Gus State, and then give us immi-
grants, not miners, but farmers who
build their homes, our State will be
equal to any in the Union. Our far
mers cannot yetcompete against Cal
ifornia for the eastern markets, but
with a healthy mining interest to
nourish our home production all
would be well in a very short time. y
Mr.. Yerington is also the repre-
sentative of the Nevada Silver leagues,
and will speak at the silver conven-
ton next week.
The almonds, figs and grapes in
the Nevada exhibit, received few
days ago, is the first fruit to shipped
by any State west of the Rocky
Mountains.

Aspen, Colorado, mine managers
have drawn up an agreement in
which the signers agree to work for
81 cash day and board and a due
bill for 81, to be paid as soon as the
ore can be disposed of at reasonable
profit. A large number of the min
ers are accepting the conditions, and
several of the mines will resume in a
short time
There was a cloud burst in Haw-
thorne District last Tuesday and the
Garfield and Neversweat roads were
badly washed out. A force of
men from the Central mine turned

in making the road passable. They

should compensate them for their
