sURVEYOH-GENER REPORT.

The following from the report of
Surveyor General Pratt makes
mighty interesting reading:
Nevada could produce and manu-
facture every article it consumes with
peTha 80, the exception Of tea and cof-
fee. and is capable of supporting ten
times it's present population. but its
wonderful mineral resources have in
times past commanded attention to
the exclusion Of every other resource.
Fortunes have so often been made i'll
few months or years in mining that
public attention has conferred III that
direction, and a very small percent
age of the people who came to New
ada did so with the intention Of max
ing it a permanent home. People
came here to get rich. and, when for
tune favored them, they retired to
some of the great money centers OF
the world and carried with them the
wealth, which, if invested in the de-
velopment of the State whence it
came, would have made Nevada the
pride Of the Union.
The Mackey cable anal the postal
telegraph were constructed with
money dug out Of the Nevada mines
by Nevada citizens. One of the larg-
est and costiest building IN New
York City, or perhaps IN the world,
was erected with funds derived from
Nevada enter Prise by ID. o. Mills,
who recently duplicated the structure
IN San Francisco. The Palace and
Baldwin hotels, Grand Opera House,
New California rheater, blocks Of
stores and warehouses and scores of
costly residences in San Francisco,
Oakland and elsewhere in the United
States and Europe, have been butt
with Nevada money. Port Costa
warehouses and docks, great news
papers, vineyards, orchards, wheat
fields and many other enterprises Ill
California have been inaugurated
and completed with Nevada money.
If the $6O0,000,000 of gold and silver
taken out of Nevada mines had been
invested at home, the waters Of the
Truckee, Carson, Walker and Hum
boldt rivers would not now be flow
ing to waste.
If Congress would favor Nevada
one-hundredth part as much as it does
New England, there wonld be no
cause fCr complaint about it's scant
population. It affords no protection
to anything we produce. 1t closes
the mints against our silver, and puts
hides. wool and other products of the
State OH the free list. We have no
rivers and harbors to entitle US to
part Of the millions appropriated from
the treasury for the improvement Of
navigable streams, and the Inter-
state Commerce Act is made applica-
BILE to the State only whom there is a
disagreement between the railroad
and employees.
II New England was treated as Ne
vada is by the General Government,
it would not haver ten inhabitants to
tho square mile, and Boston would be
abandoned to the owls and bats,
All this is good food for reflection.
1t is consoling to know that after
having been dragged for millions"
and abused and handicapped in every
possible manner for moro than twenty
years, poverty and want are strangers
in Nevada, and that we are still able
to contribute to the support Of our
defamers,

A Queens Visit.

To be old and poor and bedridden Is
generally to be debarred from the
greater privileges Of life, but there was
one old man in Scotland who found his
disadvantages had procured him a
privilege that the strong and more ac-
tive members of his family were seek
ing in vain.
1t was on an occasion when Queen
Victoria was at Balmoral, and, as she
often did, she went one day, unaccom-
panied, to visit the cottages. In one Of
these she found an old man, bedridden
and quite alone, and she sat down to
talk to him.
"And how Is 1t you are alone" she
asked. "Have you no one to keep you
company?
NO. replied the old man, innocent
ly, my folks be all away seeing the
Queen; they thought they might get a
glimpse Of her."
His visitor made no reply, but she sat
with the old man, pleasantly filling the
gap made by the absence of "his
folks" and then found time to read to
him from the Bible she herself treas
ured. On leaving she gave a further
proof of her sympathy in the shape of
a five-pOund note, accompanying 1t with
the words: when your people come
back, tell them that while they have
been to see the Queen, the Queen has
been to see YOU"

At the gathering in Centennial Park in
