COUNTY.

Those VINO nave ucNNI haNCfSO w.
the county of Humboldt have but sigh
conception of its wonderful resources
when developed to the r ful est. The
ranges of Humbo DIT are he licnest in tie
Stale and put fat on mutton and beeI
that equals the corn-fed product OF the
midd e w,st. The arm.n lands of Hum
be. DIT, where there is water for fr ga
ton are capab e of high Gu tiva ion, and
when put to their highest uses viii astod-
ish even those who are farming them to-
day. The great trouble with Humbo DIT
as a county of homes is that the land
is he'd in too .arge holdings, TAere
are sing e ranches in this county # Gu
up into small err places would support a
large population. 1t wou d be TIM
wasted t" tell the heavy catt e and sheep
owners of Humboldt that their lands ar
not put to the highest uses or that homes
cou d be made on what is now wasted.
A New England farmer thinks he is
wei to do if he owns 16O acres of land
unincumbered and two or three mi ch
cows, a coupe of mares to do his farm
work, from which cots are ra.sed every
year, Is or 20 sheep, a small focA Of tui-
keys and a good bunch of mems, with a
school house ncar by to educate his
chi .drea in, a comfortable house and lit
tie barn and a good wife to keep The chi :
dren c.ean. feed the CHI. ckens and tur-
keys, viii e he and his boys do the rough
err work; and he cer,ain.y is. The aver
age Nevada farmer or stock man does
not think he Is dong anything unless he
counts his herds in four figures and puts
up hay by the thousands Of tons; and as
for the chickens. turkeys, few sheep anu
He would sooner buy his eggs, his but
ter, his vegetables, his fruits and his
bacon and ham and send his chi dIen TO
some far-off schhool to get their educa-
ton than to bother with all the small
things tina go to make a happy, prosper
Gus and contented home.
Nevada is yet wearing the toggery of
undeve opment so far as putting her
farm ng lands to the highest uses are con-
cerned. In about ha.f a century more
tbs artic e viii be proven fruitful, but
at the present time it is a waste of eff
fort to write it.. A State where every
mineral known to science is produced and
In many PAGES where an industrious man
can make wages with a hand mortar and
a tin cupfu. of water is wonderful ly Itch.
The troub e with our people-our miners
lis, that they want d 200-stamp mill and
high-priced men to manage their mining
properties to get the best resu ts. If big
results cannot be had they will not accept
anything. The time wi / come, and that
inside the 1850 mark. when people Will
appreciate what Nevada has and the OPP
portunity for the man satisfied with a
comfortable living and happy home.
Humboldt county is possessed of a fine

Another drawback to Nevada's devel-
opment is the high rate Of transporta-
ton. The policy of the Southern Pa
cific is and always has been al the

dition remains the policy of transporta-
ton companies just so .ong wi Nevada
