The Coming State.

1t may sound ike q WHO deciar-
alton, but Nevada is bound to be-
come one of the most productive
States in the Union. It possesses
advantages in the composition of
its soil that are far superior to the
great Mississippi Valley, advan-
tages that will always exist, and
become more noticeable as the
time rolls by. 1t appears remark
able to the new conner that an ap-
parently desert waste will yield
the quality and quantity of vege-
table products that is raised in
this State. Here they look for the
rich black loan common in the
middle States, and the absence Of
this particular soil impresses them
with the idea that our soil lacks
richness. Nevada soil is not of
vegetable creation exclusively, but
to the contrary is produced by the
decomposition of rock formation;
pregnant with mineral, and of
that character that gives strength
to the soil that is perpetual. The
oxidation of mineral is continual.
hence the soil is constantly receiv-
ing benefits through mineral
sources that invigorates it. Our
native grasses are stronger and
more nutritious than those OF the
Middle and Western States, and
whyY Because the latter are al
most entirely the production of
vegetable soil, while the grasses in
Nevada absorb from the soil the
mineral properties that make them
nutritious and strong. Our cattle,
even those that are fattened upon
the range, make fatter and sweeter
beef then those in the Middle and
Western States, simply because
they obtain in the grasses mineral
properties that are health-giving
and reproducing. This is why
Nevada beef is sought after. Our
soil possesses all the medical quail
tiles essential to the production of
grain. grasses of every description
and also of health giving vege-
tables. The richness and purity
Of our cereals. beef and vegetables
is the secret of the general good
health of our populace, coupled
with an invigorating, glorious eli
mate. The time is not far distant
when every sage brush fiat in this
State that can be watered by ma
tural or artificial means will be
covered with waving grain. Ne
vada is an agricultural State, one
that will play her part, and nobly
too, in the history of American
agriculture. We want capital to
develop the resources of our State,
and the acknowledged superiority
Of our products and the cause, will
ultimately be the magnet that will
attract them here.
