Nevada Asleep = Nevada Awake
Being Prize Essay Penned by One of the Bright
est and rlost Beautiful Women of Reno.

That the scope of woman's influence
and usefulness is limited has been ac
cepted as an axiom for many day de-
spite the refutation which crowds the
pages of history.
1t fell to the lot of Miss Violette Craig,
however, to write, merely for her own
amusement and the edifcation of her
friends this little History of the great
desert State which has awakened the
world to its possibilities.
This composition is said to have been
written about three years ago and its
classic beauty is alleged to have first in
terested Charles M. Schwab in Nevada.
When it is remembered that Schwab,
the multi-milionaire steel king is now
active in every mining camp of the great
State, it will be seen that Miss Craig's
embryonic literary genius has proven
more potent factor in the development
of Nevada than have all OF the dry and
unread statistics that have ever been
compiled.
Read this essay il only for its artistic
beauty.

awake again.
She's been asleep for a few years.
Sometimes she has stirred uneas-
ily, and murmured in her dreams,
but for twenty years she has not
spoken as she spoke when she told
the world about the Comstock and
set men mad with the delirium of
wildhearted fortune.
She's talking now, is old, grey,
ce-hearted, dosert-eyed, noun
tain crowned Nevada, and all the
world is standing on tiptoe in
frenzy to catch every syllable of
her lisping.
She's a wondrous fine story tell
er, is old Nevada. The market
places of the earth have stilled
their tumult, time aud again, to
hearken to the tales it was her
pleasure to tell.
She began to speak way back in
40, but California had the floor
then and nobody listened to Ne
vada's voice.
In '57 two old miners. who were
digging for gold in Six Mile Can
yon, near where Virginia City
stands now, were annoyed by a
kind Of heavy metal which got in
the way all the time.
They cursed the strange metal
whenever they met it, after the
fashion of the times, and went on
digging for gold.
One day man who was born
with heaven-sent curiosity, took
some OF this impeding metal to an
assay office and found that it was
the richest silver ore that had ever
been heard of anywhere on earth.
Then began the Washoe rush.
Men killed one another to get to
Nevada first. Women deserted
their homes to join in the race for
the great grey deserts and lava
peaks of Nevada.
A town of four thousand people
sprang up out of the desert in a
single week, and the bonanza days
were fairly started.
Miners working with pick and
shovel for days wages became mil
Iionaires in day.
Millionaires went crazy and lost
every dollar they had in a wild
fever of speculation-laughed and
went to Nevada to begin again.
Every steamer that touched at
American shores carried its Ne
vada pilgrims. Every train that
ran towards the West was crowded
with Nevada journeyers.
The stage coaches rolled into
Virginia City day after day, loaded
down with men of every nation on
this earth, all come to Nevada to
dig fortune out of the hard and
sullen ground. For a few years
all was golden dream in Nevada.

land road, across the continent, if
it had not been for the Comstock
lode?
Have you ever climbed the sweet
rise of smiling ground that leads
from the silver edge of the Pacific
up to the Sutro Heights in San
Francisco
Have you ever stood there in
that garden, one of the most beau
tiful pleasure grounds in the world
and watched the white dancers of
the surf throwing up their arms in
their strange melodic measure
down there below the cliffs?
If so, the Comstock has done
something for you too, for Sutro
Heights would never have been if
Adolph Sutro, a poor jew with
nothing but his brain and his in
domitable will, had not burrowed
the Sutro tunnel up there on the
Comstock and snatched the gold
out of the penurious earth before
the greedy water could get at it.
The Comstock lode built cities,
made states and subdued the saw
age heart of wild continent.
Then Nevada rested again.
Now she is awake, wide awake,
and we're going to hear stranger
stories than ever from her again.
Stories that make the very heart
in your body leap, stories that will
thrill the world as the Comstock
happenings thrilled it with hope
and courage, and strength, and the
very joy of living.
Nevada is awakening again and
Touopah, Goldfeld and Bullfrog
may all produce other Comstocks.
Remember this date, 1905. 1t
may be as historic as l849.
Have you ever seen Nevada, the
land OF the Joshua tree? 1t is
like going to the country of Wum-
bletewees. in the o | d. { a S b o n
Scotch fairy books.
The Joshua tree is kind of
misbegotten palm left over from
volcanic centuries. 1t is green in
sort of rattling, stiff fingered
way, all the year round, and at the
end Of each branch is twisted
growth the elder brother of a
pineapple-only it is not good to
eat. 1t does not look like tree
at all that is, not real tree, with
thirsty roots and vigorous, spring
ing branches.
The sun doesn't smile in Ne
vada. 1t smites. The earth
powders under your feet like
crumbling hope under the tread of
disappointment and there are no
clouds in the sky, no sweet streams
singing along the way to the old
fields, but, oh! but, oh! the blessed
fragrance of the clean, clean air all
atang with the virile sage brush,
and oh the stars that light you
through the desert when the
splendor of the savage sunset is
gone. Not little twinkling stars
such as we see here, but great
lambient lights close down to the
earth, friend-fashion.
There are lakes there, too, sweet,
blue lakes adance in the unblink-
ing sunlight, and ripple under
the stars, and everywhere the
pungent speaking of the sage
brush to the nostril, and always
the shadows of the Joshua tree.
In such land as this the treas
ures of earth are buried and we
who want to find them must fare
there to seek.
For Nevada, gray, fierce heart
ed, desert-eyed, mountain-crown-
ed Nevada, the land of the Big
Bonanza lode, is awake and wait

den the probable and almost the
must be- of every day life.
Then came Nevada's time for
resting. She went calmly to sleep
and left the half-crazed men she
had lured into her purple solitude
to beat their foolish breasts and
sing whatever requim they might
over their vanished hopes.
In '73 Nevada woke up and told
the world the amazing story of the
big bonanza strike on the Com
stock, and laughing and crying,
praying and sobbing, cursing and
singing, the whole Pacific Coast
went stark, staring, raving mad,
and yelled to all the world to join
in the carnival of insanity.
The world accepted the invita-
ton. There never was such a time
of wild deeds and frenzied folly
and inspired wisdom as there was
in the days of the big bonanza on
the Comstock.
And no wonder.
Think one minute of what the
Comstock lode has done for the
world. John Mackey went to Ne
vada poor miner, with his pick
on his shoulders and nothing but
the sweet brogue on the tip of his
tongue, aud a pair of stout arms,
between him and hunger.
A man named Fair, Scotchman,
he was, with pair of sbrewd- blue
eyes and mat of black hair that
made him look like an outlaw, came
to the camp without a dollar, and
boarded with the Widow Rooney
up the gulch, and very good board
he found there, too, they say, while
he was waiting to make his strike
SO to pay his little debts.
Two stout young Irishmen, one
called Flood and one named
O'Brien, had n little claim up the
gulch they used to talk about,
sometimes, when they could get
anyone to listen, and Geo. Hearst,
good natured giant with CLEAN
of sharp humor in his grey-bIue
eyes, worked in the hills with the
rest of them, and said very little to
nybody.
And John Mackey it is who took
his Comstock gold and tied the
contents together with stand of
talking wire (the famous Mackey-
Bennett cable) and the daughters
of James Fair and the Widow
Rooney, whom he married, are the
leaders of fashion in the gay re-
sorts of the world. Yet who would
think, to look at Mrs. Willie Wand
erbilt or at Mrs. Herman Oelrichs,
that every dollar that has strewn
the paths under their feet with
roses, was dug out of the gray
ground of ole Nevada?
Little Jennie Food, who used to
hang over the back gate of her
fathers humble cottage up there in
Virginia City, could sign her check
to-day for $5,00O,000 and never
miss the money when the check
had been cashed.
The son of George Hearst, Will
liam Randolph Hearst, took the
money his father found in the
ground up there in the cactus State,
and built him a chain of papers
that stretch from ocean to ocean
and are quoted and copied in every
civilized country on the globe.
1t was the Comstock lode that
drove the buffalo back from the
plains, herded the gray wolves and
sent them snarling to the hills for
shelter. And it was the Comstocb
lode that broke the pride and the
stern eumity of the red men and
turned them into American citi-
zens, just as it was the Comstocl
lode that built the Mackey-Ben'
