Outside PapersDo-
ing Excellent
Work.

The people outside OF this State seem
intent on bringing this State to the front
whether the people stand for it or not.
Nearly all OF the important publications
are taking hand in the doings Of the
State. Harper's Weekly has bad corps
OF men here writing up the different Sec
tions, and when this article comes be-
fore the people Of the Union it is bound
to attract more or less attention. Near
ly all of the big dailies devote certain
amount OF space to Nevada and her re-
sources, principally mining, which shows
that mining is yet regarded as the great
industry of Nevada.
The Utah papers devote space to our
products in nearly every issue, and some
of the best mining news that is CLEANED
from the columns Of any Of the papers
comes from Utah. The Salt Lake Her.
aid il particular Keeps in touch with
this State. All Of the work on this end
is printed as news items, not 60 much a
line or inch, but as straight news, as it
interests the people OF that section. as
many have holdings in this State that
demand the news.
On the other hand the California pa
pers as a rule demand cash In advance
for all OF the local writings that are
given to this section. California, since
the old days Of the Comstock seems to
have lost interest in this State and de-
votes its spare space to booming its
own resources and gives Nevada the go
by The fact that California overlooked
Tonopah can, In measure, be figured
as one of the causes OF her indifference.
The last issue of the Pacific Coast
Miner devotes about half OF the edition
to Nevada. Tonopah, as a natural con-
sequence, comes in for the major part OF
the story and the write-up Of fine Illus
trations, is certainly credit to the State
and the paper.
In this particular edition the paper
goes into all the details Of the camp.
Every claim Of note is given proper credit
and the story of the discovery is repeated.
The amount OF bullion produced is
quoted and the amount in sight is stated
roughly. 1t is splendid write'up of
this particular camp.
Advertising is what is needed for this
State, and few editions Of this char
acter will do more for this State than all
OF the talking that could be done. Such
an edition should receive wide circu-
lation at the hands of the people This
paper has devoted more space in one is
sue than the papers OF the State have 10
half year.
With proper advertising, Tonopah
would not be the only camp in the State.
Many district is known OF that could
the attention Of the capitalists be called
to through the medium OF some reliable
paper that would boom Oh its merits.
Half OF the promising districts are not
known of. A prospector makes find
and through the lack Of money to de-
velop the place is lost and the discoverer
gives up 10 disgust. The average reader
does not realize the amount OF advertis-
ing that the State is receiving through
outside influence. The exchanges that
come to the different papers of the State
tell the story, aud from the amount and
tenor Of the work that is going on at
present, the State will command the
greatest attention Of any OF the mining
territories in the West. 1t has not been
home infiuen Q that has worked the
change, but outside papers that are ad-
vertising US on account of its patrons.
