now completed to within u few miles

enter that county early next Spring.
There are large deposits Of gold and
silver bearing oren III Nyc and Lin
coin counties carrying from $50 10 eco
to the ton in gold and silver. This ore
cannot be worked p%roiitably until
cheaper transportation facilities are
o~btainable. The completion Of the
Southern Nevada railway will result
i'll the development OF the mines OF
Nyc md Lincoln, and there will be n
large immigration to those counties
next year
Nyc includes IN urea of 10000
square miles and Lincoln 10000, but
al present the population does not cx-
coed one inhabitant for each forty
miles Of territory. The semi-tropical
climate Of the southern portion OF Nye
and Lincoln is adapted for the cult
ton Of every variety of fruit. Cotton
and tobacco are among the products
OF Lincoln county. the latter being in
digenous TO the soil. The present
cost Of transportation Of supplies for
mining ami shipment of ores is about
Sd per ton, but when railroad trans
portation is available freight rates
will be even lower than in this part OF
the State.
The southern part OF Lincoln and
Nyc is a prospectors paradise. Snow
rarely falls to any depth and the eli
mate is delightful, making an outdoor
bivouac comfortable throughout the
