w. E. Smyth's idea of developing
Nevada's agricultural resources, is to
form construction company with the
Governor at the head of it and issue
bonds on the water and land owned

onists there. Each family who came
into the colony to take $500 worth of

a strong case, and has faithfully per-
formed it's duty, but the evidence was
disiointed and conflicting, with many
important links missing, and altogeth-
er is insufficient to warrant verdict
on "a criminal charge.

guns on the eastern and central states.
The war should be carried into the
heart of the enemy's camp. Warner,

sentiment, and the efforts of Warner,
Sibley &Co., should be directed against
