Notes of Interest From the
Greatest Mining Camp in
Washoe County

The stanch support Of the local press
Of the State and the generous treat
ment accorded the camp by the vari-
Gus mining journals Of the Coast. have
assisted in the development of Oling-
house Canyon mining camp in no
small way, as viewed by the people Of
this region.
No doubt these kindnesses will be
fully rewarded when our population has
grown into the thousands as is now the
rule where mines of merit have been
found.
A popular failing exists with many.
who. while not directly interested In
the camp, have an interestn common.
that no kind word or action on their
part is necessary to the success Of
the camp.
How poor in heart the local resident
must feel to see the stranger and out
side capital being rewarded for honest
endeavor. manifest enterprise, a strong
faith. backed by capital invested in
mining, the most lucrative Of all lines
Of investment.
In years to come we will hear the
"now doubling ones" telling their
children about the time when they.
could have bought the entire camp for
few thousand.
Time waits for nobody. not even the
false prophet. But say.'neighbor, let's
sit down and riddle it out to our own
good.
Help us to let the outside world
know what the mineral resources Of
this region are and reap your reward
in the good which comes from de-
mand for homes and an increase in
trade in all lines of business.
To Nevadans | would say: Look 10
Colorado, grown great and rich be-
yond compare. wholly through the ex-
cellence of master minds to be found
among the business men who have
ever stood ready to lend a helping hand
to the prospector and miner alike. Not
only a good word. but the all-powerful
lucre was forthcoming on every hand,
until today the entire State is dotted
with producing camps that are yielding
a revenue TO her inhabitants which is
wholly resultant of mines.
Visit the bring your friends
and see what we are doing and how we
are growing We are always glad to
show you over the camp.

The Lewiston journal.

The Lewiston Journal Company at the
opening of the year, takes occasion to
call attention to their excellent publica-
lions. or course, the philosophical
citizen always subscribes and pays In adj
vance for his home paper. The Lewis
ton journal is designed to supplement
the home paper, furnishing to readers
the general State news as we'll as the
news Of the whole world. 1t has from
year to year made advances both in the
methods OF producing the paper and also
in gathering news, so that no publication
offered TO Maine readers contains nearly
so much matter of interest.
Its plant, especially adapted to the
production OF a first class paper, enables
the publishers to present each week Just
such a paper as is necessary to cover the
news of the week. Its ample columns
give space for not only all the news of
Maine, but condensation of the news
of the whole world. All prominent
events are fully illustrated by excellent
pictures from its own half-tone plant.
This, with its large corps of local cor
respondents, its full corps of staff writ
ers at all principal points, its travelling
correspondents, enables US to present
every event of interest promptly and in
very attractive style. The Journal is
at once news, political, business, litera-
airy, miscellaneous and family paper.
Since we adopted the feature of pre-
senting the agricultural section as sep
arate sheet with the attention given to
Grange matters, this feature has proved
a great attraction. The departments
will be maintained with increased vigor.
The price OF the Weekly is two dollars
year. Those subscribers who pay in
advance are also entitled to a liberal
premium, to be selected from the large
list which we Offer.
AT this time we desire to call special
attention to the Lewiston Evening Jour.
nal. Its news, both local and general, is
always late, fresh and complete. Every
event In Maine Is fully reported at the
earlies' possible moment. Besides the
news of the Associated Press, we have
ample special correspondents, and by the
use OF the telegraph give all the happen
ings of the State in each EVENINGS ISSUE
The journal contains history of to-day
and not of yesterday. During the season
of the legislature our correspondent at
Augusta will keep the reader fully post
ed In legislative proceedings, giving each
afternoon the proceedings of the day in
full by telegraph.
The price of the Daily is six dollars a
year by mail, or fifty cents month.
The Saturday Journal at points reach
ed by the afternoon and evening trains
becomes more popular year by year.
The terms are but $1.50 year.
Orders addressed journal, lewiston,
Maine, will receive prompt attention.
