Nevad" as done much in a practi-
cal wny tor humanity, has donea great
deal more FOR other commemorative
than it has for it's own. It has re-
ceiyed no fayors from this govern

OF land, 40 miles wide, and
extending through it's entire east
and west length.
Congress has closed the doors Of the
mints against our silver. has put
hides, wool and otber products OF this
State upon the free lis5. San Fran
cisco ridicules the progress OF this
State, and tries through the columns
OF her press to establish prejudice in
the minds OF the investing public
but have never heard OF any mem
Der OF this fiowery Kingdom refusing
any OF Nevada's cash. Remove il You
please from California, the improve
ments placed there by Nevada's
money and San francisco and many
other communities will look as
though they had been struck by ST.
Louis cyclone.
Had The interests of New England
been disregarded and unrecognized
as the interests Of tt is State by this
government, the owl would moot

bats would build in the counting
rooms of her great manufacturing
establishments.
California nor Colorado nor any
oaher mining region of this earth ha 8
ever given birth to q "Comstock."

whose seven hundred millions of dol

money been invested in thus State
other Comstocks would have come
forth. and the benches and valleys
now athiret for the waters OF The
Walker;the Carson, The rruckee and
the Humboldt-The Nile Of The West
would bloom and blossom like the
rose. And, yet, in the teeth of ali
this opposition, last syear Nevada
doubled her gold output and shipped
the highest grade of ore in value of
any state in this Union, and holds
the proud record of producing more
precious mineral per capita than any
state in this Union. OF these records
sue is truly proud, but she is still
prouder to know that she has the
mineral resources to double her gold
output each year for The next quar-
ter Of a century. Her people are
happy, upon their thresholds are
found no footprints Of the gaun
specter OF starvation. Cedar and
sagebrush may be- without our homes,
but wa have plenty of true hospital
ity, hot turkey and we'll cured bacon
within.
Experience teaches that it takes
less time to grub sage brush than to
chop down trees aud TO wait two
generations for the stunps to rot
before tue settler can have a model
farm, experience also teaches that
farming is attended with less loss de-
pending upon Shes snow capped peaks

rain clouds OF the lower attitudes.
Ayoung mans chances of success
in this greet State, without a penny
