The daily silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1903-1907, 1905-04-06
COUNTY.

This county presents almost an unlim-
endeavor. Her hills are nearly all
strongly mineralized and one may pick
up float that will assay into two and
three figures almost anywhere in the
county. This float comes from some
mothr ledge and only needs a little en-
ergy and pluck to find them. Humbold
county has given to the world in years
past millions of dollars, but the mines
which produced nave never been pros
pecteu below the water level. With the
march of Improvement in the methods
of working mines and handling ores 1t
stands to reason that more can and w..
be found. There are Several sections of
the county that promises rich returns
In a mining way to honest work. That
this is true it is but necessary to call
to the attention of the world that pros
pectors have several promising proper
ties in New Central, Kennedy, Black
Rock, Dutch Flat. the country around
McDermit, Jackson mountain and in
fact. look where you may you will find
the color" While many are leaving
this field to chase ''glittering generar-
ties in the Tonopah. Goldfelu and Bull
frog camps they are leaving a much
more promising field in Humboldt. The
day is not far distant when Humboldt
will attract the attention of strong cap
The Silver State knows that distance
lends ~enchantmtnt" to many, and the
proverbial old-timer can see nothing at
home worth having. but the fact re-
mains that new blood and energy will
develop the county's resources and make
of it one of the best of Nevada s four
teen. With the completion of the great
work of reclamation and the coming of
the Western Pacific Humboldt will be
born again." and at the birth many
who are looking for fortune elsewhere
will return to old Humboldt and says:
What fools we mortals be-" Every
oyster has it's pearl and every county
has it's future. and Humboldt is no ex-
ception to hat rule.

THE WORK GOES ON.

The San Francisco Chronicle says of
Nevada:
A plan is being formulated for settle
ment there of several thousand Nor
wegian families from Minnesota and the
Dakotas pm unoccupied public lands
available for cultivation by irrigation.
1t has been Nevada's past misfortune
not to have a permanently settled popu-
lation. The State has hitherto attracted
only mining prospectors and stock rais-
ers. And the great ranges adapted to
stock raising have fallen into the hands
of a ftw, who controlled them through
the presumption of the isolated springs
and water holes. where animals could
quench their thirst. Hundreds of thou
sands of acres Oh the public domain are
thus dominated by corporations. Then.
again. vast areas of land susceptible to
cultivation by an intelligent system of
irrigation have been neglected, because
no one seemed to have the courage TO
develop irrigation works where such de-
velopment was possible. The Federal
Government has. however. taken the mi
tiative. and is now engaged in the con-
struction of canals and reservoirs to d.
vert the waters of the Truckee river for
the fertilization OF hundreds of thou
sands of acres OF irrigable land produce
ing nothing more substantial in the veg
etable growth at present than sage
brush.
The enterprise thus undertaken by the
Federal Government under the Congress
sional Irrigation Act is pointing the way
to others and attracting so much atten-
ton to Nevada's agricultural capabilities
that the possibilities OF success to pri-
vate enterprise are becoming apparent
The daily silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1903-1907, 1905-04-06

to others. hence this project of the Nor
wegian colonization of the State.
Then, again, the recent opening of new,
rich mining districts in Nevada has
brought the State conspicuously to pub
lie notice. These districts are now good
markets for farm products. A little later
on they promise to be much more profit
able in that respect. Moreover, the So
luton of the problem of supplying these
new camps WIN water for the success
full operation of the mines and the sup
port of the miners is solving also the
problem of utilizing the irrigable agri-
cultural lands in their vicinity. Late
mineral discoveries are thus producing
twofold benefits. Besioes, the construc-
ton of new railroads through the State
is opening up inaccessible areas suitable
for irrigation, but previously %unavaila-
BILE to the .-ller of the soil because of
the impossibility of getting lis surplus
products to a paying market. The
changing conditions in Nevada promise,
therefore, to develop its dormant agri-
cultural resources and settlt it with a
permanent population of farmers as well
as miners
