the money invested in this State in
the past year or more has come as a
result of advertising our resources,
and the exhibition Nevada made at
the Pan-American Exposition at
Buffalo last year was one of the best
of all advertising cards. Mr.. Yer
ington was the Commissioner from
this State to that exposition, and he
had splendid display of Nevada
minerals there. Furthermore, he
attended to business and impaired a
whole lot of information to inquir-
ing people about our resources.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
"Somethiaa New Under the Sun."

All doctors have tried to cure cat
arrh by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the
mucous membranes, causing them to
crack open and bleed. The powerful
acids used in the inhailers have en-
tirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed
to cure, while pastes and ointments
cannot reach the disease. An old and
experienced practitioner who has tor
many years made a close study and
specially OF the treatment of catarrh,
has at last perfected treatment
which when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but perma-
nently cures catarrh, by removing
the cause, stopping the discharges,
and curing all inflammation. 1t is
the only remedy known to science
that actually reaches the afflicted
parts. This wonderful remedy is
known as "Snuffles, the guaranteed
catarrh cure" and is sold at the ex-
tremely low price OF One Dollar,
each package containing internal
| and external medicine sufficient for
tull month treatment and every
thing necessary to its perfect use.
"Snuffles" is the only perfect cat
arrh cure ever made, and Is now rec
ognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgust
| ing disease. 1t cures all inflamma-
tion quickly and permanently and is
also wonderfully quick to relieve
hay fever or cold in the head.
Catarrh when neglected often
leads to consumption -"Snutfles"
will save you if you use it at once.
! 1t is no ordinary remedy, but COM
| plete treatment which Is positively
guaranteed to cure catarrh in any
form or stage if used according to
the directions which accompany
each package. Don't delay but send
! for it at once, and write full particu-
lars as to your condition, and you
will receive special advice from the
| discoverer of this wonderful RENE
| dy regarding your case without cost
to you beyond the regular price of
"Snuffles," the guaranteed catarrh
cure"

Seeking Capital for Nevada.

An article in Philadelphia paper,
which fell into our hands this week,
says that Jim Yerington and several
other Nevadans are in that city
preaching the gospel of Nevada's
mineral resources. They have in
terested Philadelphia capital i'll sew
eral mining propositions in Nevada,
and the latest organization IL the
Tonopah Water and Power Com
pany, which has been incorporated
under the laws OF Delaware, and
which is capitalized at one million
dollars. This corporrtion will begin
at once to construct II plant which
will furnish Tonopah with water
and electric power. The facts about
our resources as set forth by Mr..
Ycrington sometimes nearly takes
the breath away from the Eastern
ers, but they can all be substanti-
ated, When they were told that
Nevada mines had produced over "a
billion dollars in bullion SINCE 1860
they seemed TO be hardly able to
grasp the idea, but such is the case,
and ii takes Jim but moment to
produce the figures to prove it. Mr..
Yerington sets forth to the people of
the East that enterprise and capital
IL all that is required to open up the
mines OF Nevada and place her in
the lead OF any mining State in the
Union. The Philadelphians have al
ready invested considerable capital
in Nevada hut there are thousands
OF other good opportunities for in
vestment in the State, and there is
no reason why they should not find
many chances to realize handsome
profits on their investments. All

NEVADA STANDS FIRST.
Brightest Days OF the States Mining Indus
trV to Come.

The fact that Nevada offers better
opportunities for mining operations,
and surcr returns on investments
i'll mining enterprises than any other
section in the United States, is at
last being recognized, not only by
experienced and practical mining
men, but by capitalists and shrewd
business men in almost every State
in the Union.
The latest issue OF the New York
Engineering and Mining Journal
thus voices the sentiment regarding
this State in that section:
"Nevada's mining industry seems
in fair way to take new lease of
life. Her pre-eminence in silver pro-
duction at time when silver
brought high price, was followed
by slump when the white metal
went down in the worlds market,
and there grew up feeling that
Nevada was dying commonwealth
and even a demand that she be de-
prived of Statehood. Now this i'm
preston is fast passing away, and
the public, even here in the East,
where mining news is less eagerly
read, Is beginning to appreciate that
Nevada has nSt had her day. Not
only has she enormous mineral
wealth other then silver, but her
silver mines are by no means played
out. All that was exhausted was
the surface deposits in some of the
better known fields. When the
water level was reachcd and further
development became d matter OF
improved machinery and skilled et-
forts, the mine owners could not see
profit in the market price, and
were reluctant to proceed farther.
With the wonderful record of the

unwilling to content themselves
with smaller but still considerable
profits, and many sought new fields.

TRADE WITH MALTA.
Some Suggestions to Americans Seek
ing for Business There.
American Trade.

American Trade.
A firm of importers in Valetta Malta, in a
letter to the National Association of Manu-
facturers makes the following statements
with regard to American exports to that
island:
I'VE are already importing several articles
from the United States, and much more
may be done when manufacturers are will
ing to do business direct with US to avoid
commissions to export merchants and in
some cases also loss of discounts, which
obstacles are rendering business imprac-
ticabIe on our side. For example a few
days ago we have had a demand for cotton
seed oil and wired to our correspondent in
New York for actual prices. When these
were received and all expenses calculated,
also commission of PA per cent, we found
that the difference from prices quoted here
was only OF w per cent, making it impos-
sible for us to accept. Neither is it favor
able 10 us merchants in the Mediterranean
to pay against bill of lading in New York
in London or in Paris. as we have no CORE
spondence with bankers in those places
but with the local ones only which are of
first standing. II the American manufac-
turers will accommodate US on these points
much good business could be done, as il has
long been done with the continent and Eng
land. Another point we beg to submit and
that is. that 1T is the custom here not to
commence business with a new firm and
especially with a new country with big
orders but with trial ones which being
satisfactory are followed by bigger ones
Two lines OF steamers are now running
direct between New York and Malta,
namely, the vessels of Messrs. Phelps Bros.
& Co. and the Hamburg American line.
and as they compete with each other a
cheap rate OF freight is quoted affording
American manufacturers excellent facilities
for competing for the trade of the island
Maltese merchants, as a rule, expect goods
TO be quoted c. /. f. Malta
Another thing we beg to point out is
that as the introduction of new goods or the
goods Of new or locally unknown firms
costs US much trouble and the customers
are the same for all competitors, il is ex-
pected that manufacturer will give exclu-
sive agencies to insure the best results
especially in the case of American firms
which make a practice of stamping their
goods with their names and addresses"
