Our Sister Town and Some of the
Possibilities of her Future.

Possibilities of her Future.
The Carson correspondent of the
Reno Gazette says Carson Valley is
one of the grandest agricultural valleys
on the coast.
The correspondent says change is
in progress which portends better
things for Nevada, and whatever helps
the State will have beneficial effect
on the Capital City.
'Such men as H. NJ. Yerington, John
Wagner, Geo. Meyers, Richard Kir-
man, t. B. Hickey, J. w. Adams, the
Raycraft brothers, Geo. Richards,
Frank Golden, Joe Platt, A. Living
ston, d. Gree, and many others whom
the writer at this moment cannot re-
call, have an abiding faith in Carson
and are making investments accord
ingly, as we'll as holding on to interests
they now possess.
Railroad connection with Gardner
vile, thence south to Antelope valley
and other points where developments
are in progress and the country rapid
1y building up with substantial coun-
try homes and small towns, is more
than probability of the near future,
and Carson will be benefited.
Just east of Carson some four miles
Is range of mineralized mountains
which present endless possibilities to
the prospector. This range shows
copper, gold and silver in paying guam
titles. Gypsum manganese, iron ore
of superior grade, iron pyrites, tale,
petroleum and gas indication, all APP
parently abundant enough for success
ful development If capital could be in
terested, and are situated within a
radius of six or eight miles. Then
comes the Buckeye district, from which
thousands of dollars in gold have
already been taken out, but owing to
litigation and other complications,
little has been accomplished for the
last four or five years.
''The Carson Board of Trade is work
ing quietly to bring about conditions
favorable to these mining interests,
but various questions have to be con-
sidered, particularly that of transpor-
tation, for if rates were low enough to
ship ore to where it could be worked
1t will not only encourage small mine
owners in this vicinity, but would give
an impetus for further prospecting.
1.-THE Sunset Telephone Company
carefully looked over the situation and
being satisfied at the outlook felt war
ranted in introducing their system,
not only locally, but extending it to
the various towns and country south,
and when large company like this
has confidence in the future, we
should not be disheartened.
"Wm. Thompson of Washoe county,
has spent most of the winter here and
has employed his time in hunting up
data concerning the possibilities and
development of various industries
hereabouts and as far south as south
ern Esmeralda county and Inyo coun-
ty, Cal. He proposes to present this
data to men in San Francisco seeking
investment, and is at present in Cali
fornia for this purpose. Thompson is
. pretty good rustler when he gets
started and has already received en-
couragement and feels confident of
success.
s'Since the adjournment of the Legis-
lature there has been little change in
the ordinary routine in and about the
State building. The officers and depu-
ties are all up to their eyes in work
cleaning up unfinished business and
preparing to follow the course laid out
by legislative action and putting
things in shape for the two years BUSH
ness to come.
ssThe insurance law is still causing
considerable speculation and as yet it
IL problematical as to the result. Most
OF the rumors regarding special ses-
sion and other actions as yet have little
foundation. San Francisco parties
have written for information concern
ing the laws applicable to the forma-
fion of Nevada company and the
mode of procedure concerning the
fling of incorporation papers, etc.
This information has been forwarded
rs we'll as full particulars as to the
present status of the foreign companies
relative to their withdrawal from Ne
vada.
political matters are quiet and will
likely remain so for the present, as the
next election is too far off for any one
TO speculate on the possibilities or pos
sible aspirants for recognition.
Socially there is nothing of interest.
Carsonites are generally religiously
inclined and the Lenten season is OBJ
served very strictly. Next month,
about the sth, there will be an influx
