ply need of many years standing
Nevada ought to have "a bureau OF IN
nation 10 encourage the mining
and agricultural resources of the
state. Senators and assemblymen OF
both parties signify their intention of
voting for the bill, for they recognize
its merits
The bill provides for the establish
mert of such a bureau at Carson
City, Nevada; makes provision for
the appointment of a separate state
official and recommends that the ag-
ricultural pavilion be set apart as
the offices and laboratory. Provi-
sions have been made in the bill
whereby the several county recorders
of the state are TO furnish the state
mineralogist all the information and
data concerning the location, name,
the quality of vein or lode of all min
ing properties in the state and makes
separate provision for the collection
of large mineral cabinet duly ad-
vertisng the mineral resources of
the state. The large and valuable
mineral cabinets now in the state
capitol are to be set apart for the
exclusive use and control af the state
mineralogist and agriculturist. The
bill also provides that this official is
to get all the informations possible
concerning the agricultural resources
of the state, the price of cereals,
fruits, etc, and the markets open for
investment and speculation.
The bureau will solicit from all
prospectors, mining investors and
dealers in agricultural supplies to
submit to the state mineralogist and
agriculturist what mining or agri-
cultural properties they may have
for sale and the bureau will be used
as a means to place the poor pros
pector and humble farmer directly in
touch with outside capital In this
manner their goods and wares may
become properly advertised and both
industries become greatly encour-
aged
The state mineralogist and agri-
culturist will keep two records in his
office, always open to public inspec-
ton These records shall contain in
detail all the information concerning
the various mining and agricultural
properties in the state, and the man
who wants to dispose of any of bis
properties can come to the bureau
and find out where ready sale may
be made.
The bill especially encourages the
development of rare and uncommon
and earths. 1t has been
shown time and again that there are
other minerals besides gold and silver
which only need proper development
to be brought to the notice of the
world, In this manner new mining
industries will be speedily developed
and the undeveloped resources of Ne
vada properly brought to light.
All mining and farming interests
throughout the state should work for
the passage of the bill and when the
bureau is ultimately es ia blish e d
should do all in their power to make
it as valuable source of information
as possible. The bill carries sal
airy Of So 900 per annum and leaves
the appoint ment Of the official exclu-
sivelv in the hands of the governor
Of the state.
In years to come undoubtedly the
duties of the official may be enlarged
and the work of the bureau cores
pondingly increased. 1t is believed
that the present bill is step in the
right direction and will accomplish
everything possible for years to
come.
