Nevada The Maenate.

Eastern Oregon is coming to New
ada" said an Oregon man yesterday.
1.-The mining men of that section
have heard of Tonopah's fame and are
fiocking like sheep to the new mining
district. The stockmen are also COM
ing from Southern Oregon to Nevada
as well as the business men of the
smaller towns.
"Lakeview has several business men
here who are tired of waiting for the
extension of the Nevada, California
and Oregon railroad and they say that
Reno leads anything they have ever
seen.
Baker City the leading mining
| town of Oregon is contributing some
of her best mining men to Tonopah
and the Nevada district. Some of the
leading capitalists of Baker City pass
ed through Reno for Tonopah last
week to look over the field and will
later move their headquarters to Ne
vada. They found, however, after
seeing Reno that this is the best locat-
ion and they may come here.
s'The exodus can only be accounted
for in one way. Oregon people are
finding that Nevada surpasses that
State in nearly every point. The
mines of the Baker district are PROV
ing unsatisfactory in many respects.
One of the great drawbacks to
that district is that there has been too
much booming. The reaction is now
fully on and it is telling.
Nevada also leads California by a
full length. The drummers visiting
this place say that better conditions
exist here than at any other point in
the northwest. The overdone and
overboomed country about here is
yielding to her actual merits.
Southern Oregon, which depends
almost exclusively on stock raising is
in bad straits. The prices have been
unstable so long and the poor hay
crop last year reduced the stock busi-
ness to bare living and the former
cattle and sheep kings of that coun-
try are looking for better fields. The
opportunities for business and the
mining fields of Nevada are attracting
them this way.
''To tell the truth" said the enthus-
last, 1.-THE people are rapidly finding
out what Nevadans have long known,
that Nevada is the best State in the
Union and offers the best opportuni-
ties of any place on the globe. Jour
nal.
