NEVLDA'S FUTURE.
Bob Fulton Takes an Encouraging
View,

Inc Examiner OF Sunday mas 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
prosperous times she has ever known.
We have not had failure during all
this hard Summer, We owe next to
nothing as a State, as counties, or as
individuals, IN comparison With
other communities. We raise 50,-
600 head of the finest beef. We
have 100000 mutton sheep for mar
ket. We grow 100000 tons of al
falfa, several thousand tons of wheat,
and many thousand tons of the finest
kind of potatoes, and apples, honey
and wool, in addition to gold, silver,
lead, copper, salt, boxa1, soda and
iron, ETC., are shipped. All these
are cash products, and there are not
so many people to divide the pro
ceeds among as in other places, so
those who do business in Nevada al
ways do well.
Even if no moro people come III
we will knSw prosperity. The pso-
pie of other States need what we
have to sell and they will soon begin
to buy again. The Mid-winter Fair
is going to absorb everything eatable
and drinkabIe that Nevada can send
the best potatoes, the choicest
apples, the whitest honey, to say
nothing of the beef, mutton and
pork We have fattening now.
"Wlthin 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
enterprise than ever was known be
fore and they will be seeking new
fields Hard times in old countries
is good for new ones. The West
has been benefited by every crash
the country has ever had. Even
now half dozen railroads stand on
the eastern edge of the great basin
casting longing eyes towards the Pa
cific. Those which live through the
storm, especially railroads like the
Burlington, which has Just declared
a dividend, can borrow oceans of
money, and some of them will race
across Nevada for San Francisco.
Such movement cannot fail to help
every interest even the old roads.
''The impression has been formed
that Nevada would be dead but for
silver mining, and that the only hope
of the State was in a restoration of
free coinage. Anything that would
add to the price of silver would un-
doubtedly add to Nevada's prosper
ity, but because we cannot mine our
silver at profit is no reason why we
should not develop other resources.
We are opening gold mines in several
places, notably in Humboldt county
and near Wadsworth, in Washoe
county. We have hills that assay
63 per cent iron and IL or II alum
mum. We have tin, copper, nickel,
lead and anthony that bring profit.
We ship hundreds of tons of gypsum,
which is made into plaster of paris
on the bay shore. We send out big
shipments of soda and berax, but
greatest of all we sell you hay, wheat
and potatoes that we expect to carry
off medals at the Columbian exhibit
with as well as at the Midwinter
Fair as we did at New Orleans.
Throwing out all the mountain
lands and those out of reach of
water, we have sufficient to make
good State, as good as Indiana or
Maine or South Carolina. We have
any quantity of fine land well water
ed, but uncultivated, used for pas
ture only, that would support
family on each subdivision, Whole
valleys of many thousand acres
abundantly supplied with water have
only family or two and sometimes
only cattleman's headquarters.
With a climate and a soil that will
raise anything that will grow in New
York State, there will be a demand
for Nevada land, and when it comes
values viii be doubled rapidly.
every country has had to go
