Churchill standard. (Fallon, Nev) 1903-1908, 1904-01-30


excellent review of conditions in
Nevada, written by Hon. H. F.
Bartine, ex : congressman, is
taken from the Reno Journal.
The article will be read with
interest by all, and is a good
one to send to people in the east
who are looking to Nevada as a
place for investment:
In so large and sparsely set
tied a State as ours whether the
business situation be generally
good OF generally bad it must
necessarily vary greatly, because
each considerable center lof pop
ulation depends greatly upon
local conditions. If, for example,
the mines of Austin are idle
either because of a depressed
silver market or because capital
is not available to work them,
it follows, of course. that Austin
must be under something of a
cloud. however brightly the sun
of prosperity may shine else
where. And SO of other places.
These varying conditions were
presented to me in strong con-
trast during my recent trip
through a large part of the
State as tax examiner. While |
could not fail to note that the
State, as a whole, was moving
forward with fair strides, it was
also evident that some localities
were either at a standstill or
upon the down grade. Among
these / may mention Belmont,
Austin and Eureka. the county
seats of Nye. Lander and Eureka
counties respectively. OF Bel
mont, once a large and flourish
ing town, but little remains.
While Austin and Eureka. both
full of historic interest to New
adams. have been nearly station
cry for several years.
Hamilton, once the center of a
mining excitement probably
never surpassed anywhere, and
it is said, having at one time,
with its outlying camps, a pop
ulation of $1,000. is now, like
Belmont, almost a deserted vii
lage. But its situation is by no
means hopeless. There can be
no question that it lies in the
midst of a rich mineral region,
and within a few miles there are
even now several mines which
are being continuously worked
in a swall way and r paying
well. Several promising devel-
opments have been made, and
many rich prospects are reported
in the immediate vicinity of Ely.
1t follows necessarily that the
agricultural and stock raising
interests of Lander, Eureka,
White Pine and a portion of Nye
and Lincoln must feel the effects
of the depressed mining con-
ditions. These counties are off
the line of developments imme-

REVIEW OF PRESENT CONDITIONS IN
THE STATE OF NEVADA

- ~ AAAAAA~
ing conditions were more favor
able-which unquestionably is
true.
The most striking immediate
growth, however, is taking
place in the three great northern
counties of Elko, Humboldt and
Washoe, with Churchill bidding
strongly for a goodly share in
the near future. Elko is a splen-
did county with vast possibili-
ties on the lines of agriculture,
stock raising and mining. The
town of Elko is, next to Reno.
the best business center of the
State-a distributing point for a
large area of highly productive
territory.
Humboldt is also in fine con-
dition. 1t is hardly SO well
watered as Elko, but it never
theless contains a great expanse
of land which can hardly be ex-
celled in the State. A fair idea
of the conditions of the county
can be obtained from the
thriving towns of Winnemucca
and Lovelock, both of which
present rnmistakable evidences
! of healthy business conditions.
For many years Churchill has
been about the smallest of our
counties, measured by wealth
and population. But the work
now in progress seems almost
certain to lift her from this sub
ordinate position into one of
commanding prominence. The
opinion is freely expressed that
the reclamation work in the
Truckee and Carson basins will
speedily make Churchill one of
the best counties in the State,
and one of the most attractive
to the homeseeker.
OF Washoe it is scarcely neces-
sary to speak, for most readers
Anow full we'll the conditions
prevailing in this county. The
Truckee river with its water
power, the Truckee Meadows
and Washoe valley, the extern
sive tracts of fine land which
may and probably soon will be
reclaimed, together with the
mineral wealth known to exist,
must in the nature of things
make Washoe a great and grow
ing county. Reno is prominent
ly the business metropolis of the
State. Standing at the gateway
which opens into California,
with a large tributary country
both north and south, with its
commanding geographical posi-
ton and concentrated capital it
is reasonable to believe that
within ten years, in the absence
of unlocked for backsets, it will
be a city of 25, 200 inhabitants,
and possibly more.
l have not recently been in
Lincoln county, but the great
work of railroad building there
which will give the county 240
miles of railroad besides opening
up a vast area of new country,
leaves no room for doubt that
the county has een its worst

Immediately after his phenomenal
victory, President Roosevelt issued a
statement that he would not again be
candidate for the office to which
the people had elected him. He went
so far as TO say that under no circum-
4 stances would he accept another
!. nomiRation, and those who know the
man believe that he means it. Fol-
lowing this declaration he issued
another of greater importance to the
people and one in which the pOliti-
clans are deeply interested. He gave
them to understand that for the next
four years he will be in the saddle
and have his big stick out for the
spoilsmen who urge appointments
purely from political point Of view
regardless of fitness. He gave them
his ideas in language most plain
that he would make appointments
regardless of the recommendations of
senators and representatives, which
means the smashing Of traditions old

that the president and party leaders
will war with each other, over the
execution of his determination to

government according to his own
ideas and there are troublous times
ahead for the politicians. He has
