Quigg and his cronies brings out story here about a small club of colored men in an h. diana town, which on one occasion formally adopted that name.

 The Development of Nevada-Ne- vada is so often gibed at as a declin- ing state that the following statement by an intelligent citizen made to a Tribune correspondent seems worthy of attention: After the playing out of the Comstock mine other states got the increment of population. Just now new influx, due to increased gold mining as we'll as to the work ing of copper, has set in. and Nevada seems to be steadily recovering her self. The new copper mine is at Col conda. Eastern capitalists are inter ested in gold developments in Elko Goofta creek eef eek, where both placer and quartz mining are being extensively done. Last year showed a great revival of the mining indus tries, and it has been kept up the present year. More mining is done than in twenty years previously. It is nearly all gold mining, too. Ne vada is not exclusively engaged in working mines. The eastern part of the state is an immense cattle range. The principal agricultural product of | the state, indeed, is cattle. We sup ply the San Francisco market for six months in the year with both beef and mutton. During the last two years the state has begun to shir sheep and cattle to Omaha and Chi cago. Nor is this all we do on the farms. On all the Nevada desert where there has been irrigation yor see wheat growing. The wheat prod uct is fine. As sample, in the Hum boldt valley 300 acres sown in wheat produced seventy bushels an acre This is nowhere excelled except or the reclaimed tule lands of California Nevada produces two-thirds of all tht borax produced in the world. Now you see that the state which has al these advantages, showing the pro gress described cannot be said to b. moribund.' New York Tribune.
