Discovery.
Churchill County is the richest per
capita Of the fourteen which comprise
Nevada, fact Of which its people are
proud and condition that gives great
satisfaction. 1t necessarily follows that
t-1ssse,5 1sse5 81 - fhtsr there than elsewhere
in the State and development is there
~ encouraged. The other counties
could profit by the lesson taught as it
viii eventually mean the salvation and
growth Of this commonwealth. 1t is
Uncommon but is rather the history Of
Churchill that men labor there for a
decade or two and are then able to re.
tire from active life and reap the re-
ward Of a wise choice Of a homestead
and the thrift that follows just common
sense and attention to duty.
Churchill if rich inprosperous citizens
is wealthy in climate. Cod footstool Of
fers no more comfortable abiding place
and the service of physician and sur
geon is required only when the stork
visits or other accident happens. The
air is charged with the inyigorating
ozone and the blue vaults of heaven
are to be seen daily the year around.
Through the clear atmosphere the pur-
pie SUBMITS Of the mountains can be
seen for miles and appear to be right
at hand. There is enchantment in the
view whether the spectator stands up
on the almost limitless plain or some
rocky crag where the eagle builds his
nest and rears his young. Incompar-
able is the sunset and we rejoice in
Mrs. Boyles song:
And close above neighboring hill, and
tall,
The rayless sun hangs, like dazzling ball
or quivering molten gold, then sinks from
sigat,
Circling the mount with shimmerng golden
light.
Beyond, belt Of gold entbralls the eye,
Gliding the pearly clouds that hover nigh.
Rivers Of gold flow through enhancing
skies
To oceans bright with irridescent dyes,
Whose pillows roll on coral tinted strands,
Or lave the borders of enchanted lands.
Islands of topaz rest in bays of pink,
And lakes Of ruby where cen Jove might
drink,
Or stretch his sacred length upon the sands
That girt them round like glittering silver
bands.
Craft Of all kinds, rich freighted argosies;
Sail leisurely about in azure seas,
Their pennants bright and streamers, every
hue,
Spreading their colors far into the blue.
Chariots of OPAL drawn by prancing steeds,
Roll regally along DER pale green meads
Their ribbons trailing in the dust of stars
And crimson splashes caught from warning
Mars.
Far to the south the world is all ablaze;
The north is drowned in billowy purple
haze.
And look! the fire has caught some drifting
fleece
Making the splendor of tho scene increase;
Sapphire is amethyst; pearl to opal turns
And opal finds new fire within it burns;
Pink of the sea-shell once, is flaming red,
And every trace OF yellow gold has fled;
For ''Touch OF Midas" has to orange
changed;
The scheme OF color, all, is rearranged.
Green fields dot the landscape anc
yield bounteous havests Of the price
less alfalfa and yellow grains. Orchards
mark every home and garden stuffs
take the blue ribbons from contests
with the states OF the nation. Fat
cattle that command superior prices ii
the metropolitan markets wander on Z
thousand hills, to be later brought ir
and fed till fit 10 grace the tables o
the epicaes, Across old ocear
