About Our
Grand Old
State.

The new year dawns with bright prom.
ises for Nevada, and the visitor within
her gates at this time has forced upon
bim knowledge and feeling that the
period of mining and business depression
that for years marked the course OF af.
fairs in this common wealth, are rapidly
disappearing, and a new era Of progress
and prosperity is the crown OF promise
bestowed by kindly Providence upon
this picturesque and rugged state with
the ushering in of 1902.
At the state capitol the Pacific Coast
Miner representatives were in the apart
ments of the chief executive, and with
the present capable and sturdy governor,
Rheinhold Sadler. were looking up the
portraits of those gentlemen who in years
past served this sta te and former terri
tory as chief executives. when Governor
Sadler suddenly remarked: Those men
loved Nevada, and so do we all now;
there is no country under the sun blessed
with greater natural facilities for the up
building of magnificent statehood; and,
sirs, nothing can stay our march fer
ward. We must and shall move up the
llne.' This is but an incident, and re-
mark that denotes the 1902 spirit of OF e
representative Nevadan, but it is used
herewith for the ample reason that in its
language Is expressed the sentiment
heard wherever two or more Nevadans
are gathered together. With such spirit
pervading the people in every section,
it is no matter OF wonderment that even
the visitor here feels quickening pulse
surrounded by such an atmosphere, and
first from very sympathy, and then by
actual realization Of the fact that be-
lief in the future greatness of Nevada
state is based upon indisputable and tan
gible evidences # mineral wealth and
unbounded agricultural resources, be-
comes staunch adherent of Nevada and
her holdings, and an adn'irer OF the big.
hearted, hospitable people who dwell
here.
With a clear understanding Of the
wealth hidden beneath the surface and
united with spirit OF determination to
work for one common purpose-t the de-
velopment and upbuilding of the state
no power can stem the tide of growth
and prosperity now confronting the peo-
pie OF the Sagebiush State. Deal not
with past issues. Have only to do with
facts and figures OF the past that will
serve as, or to strengthen, argument for
the enlistment Of energy and capital in
the development OF industries of the
present and future. New conditions now
surround the citizens Of Nevada, and
with willing hands for labor and deter
mination to make the most Of bountiful
gifts unfolded to view, it Ia with no feel
ing of uncertainty as to the truth of the
utterance. that the Pacific Coast Miner
Joins with Governor Rheinhold Sadler
in asserting in most emphatic tone that
nothing can stay Nevada states march
forward.
An event transpiripg during the year
just closed which will undoubtedly prove
of incalculable benefit to Nevada, was
the splendid showing made at the Buffalo
Exposition on behalf Of this state by
Commissioner J. A. Yerington. Upon
his return home in December, that gen
tleman was interviewed by one Of the
leading state journals and stated that
Nevada attracted far more attention thar
any member OF the commission had dared
