Nevada's Great Future.
The outlook in Nevada is encou

The outlook in Nevada is encour-
aging-never in the history of the
state has it been 0 so. With our
new mines of fabulous riches bringing
men into the southwest from every
corner of the globe, and every nook
aud Granny Of the mountains in that
region being explored by experienced
prospectors, the halcyon days of Ne
vada's glory are surely returning.
Already our state stands first in the
increase Of gold production. She
does not stand first in the list Of pro
ducers but has increased her output
more in 1903, than has any other
state or territory. This increase
will be more than maintained for the
year 1905 and 1t is not too much to
expect that the Silver State will
head the list Of gold and silver pro.
ducers in the year 1905. But this
is not half the good news. Better
than mines of silver, gold or iron are
agricultural lands, Minerals are by
and by exhausted and their riches
once taken from the earth flow far
afield. The millionaire mine owner
takes his wealth and goes where he
can reap the greatest pleasure in the
shortest possible time. But the cul
tivator of the soil lives on the land,
rears his family and builds schools
and churches. His investments are
permanent and his reward for labor
increases with the increase of popu.
lation. With our fine healthful eli.
mate and thousands of acres of land
ready to be watered by the irriga
ton bitches in course Of construction
Nevada is the most promising field
for the home seeker on the continent.
In the year just opening Nevada
should make rapid strides forward
and increase in population and wealth
enormously. W. believe she will
