Awakening OF Nevada.

Few were sanguine enough five years
ago to believe that Nevada would ever
see a revival OF the good old times when
the stream Of silver and gold pouring
from the Comstock lode and the Eureka
and Tuscarora mines made business
brisk in every line and spread the fame
Of the State far and wide. The day
came when the ore "petered out" and so
did the population. for the exodus to
more promising fields set in until the State,
in 1900, numbered only 1885 people.
The density of population was then only
o. to the square mile, which was smaller
than in any other part Of u domain
excepting Alaska.
In that very year the wheel Of fortune
made a turn in the right direction. Mr..
JAMES l.. BUTLER in April, 1900, started
southwark with a string Of burros loaded
with his camping outfit for a prospect
ing tour in Nye county. Crossing the
site OF the present mining town Of Tono-
pah he noticed lodges Of white quartz
and broke off specimens, which he sent
TO an assayer. They gave so little prom
Use of value that the assayer threw them
into the waste pile.
On his return north BUTLER broke of
more specimens and gave them to a
friend with the promise that il he would
have them assayed and value was in
indicated he would give him a share in
the claims. In due time values of from
$50 to $500 in silver and gold a ton were
reported. The news reached the first
assayer, who fshed the rejected speci-
mems from the waste pile and assayed
them with astonishing results.
This was the dawning Of a better
day for Nevada. Tonopah, Goldfeld,
~Searchlight and other mining camps
have been furnishing up the reputation
Of the desert State. TonOpah, with its
white quartz, led the procession in out
put. BUTLER retired rich, and in a little
over a year this camp alone yielded over
1900, 600 of metal. Tonopah became a
city OF houses instead of tents, and in the
annual report Of the Director of the Mint
for 1902 this edifying little paragraph
was tucked in among much geological
n oeSCrlpJlOn'
TOnOpah supports thirty two saloons. six faro
games. two dance houses, two weekly newspapers
a public school. two daily stage lines. two churches
and other elements OF Internal prosperity. IL Is 9
ven orderly community, and there has been bur
one stage robbery thus far
The Geological Survey has recently
printed a quartO volume Of POS pages
describing this mineral district, which
has passed the day Of reckless and fever
ish activity and now commands the CAPT
tai required to mine and reduce its ores
on a sold business basis. Tonopah has
a population Of several thousands and
a railroad which cheapens the cost OF
transportation to the smelters.
The nub Of the matter is that Nevada
is beginning to open new treasure vaults
The biologists working there are moi
writing so many obituary notices Of
abandoned camps. The State shows
signs of new life and vigor after her
sleep Of fifteen years. She will be treated
more respectfully by her sister States
il she ont nues to pull gold and silver
out Of her pockets

A Physician Asks for More SPECIFIC Evil
dence OF Christian Science Cure.

dence OF ChTtStlnn Science cure.
To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Str: Permit
me again TO enter an objection against the
claims OF the Christian Scientists to cure
"locomotor Ataxia."
The Doctor Of Philosophy" in THE Sun the
other day calmly put in the claim-not the
evidence-and apparently had the consent Of
the patient to publish his name. / have no
complaint. criticism or fault to find with the
gentle and refined opponents of this new cult.
but feel it my duty a. a humble but pretty
duigent student OF medicine to contradict
any claims they set mp in the cure OF organic
diseases.
LocomOtOr ataxia. for example. often has
spells or periods OF Quiesc ence and the suf-
fprer then hopes fondly that the disease In
checked. This IN the state Of the gentleman
whom your Doctor Of Philosophy" cites a.
n striking example OF his cults cure.
TO quote Scripture: The sins OF the fathers
shall be visited upon the children unto the
third and fourth generations" T~hediagnosis
OF locomotor AtANia may be at fault also /
should like to see a statement by a reliable
physician.
THE fact is that all these calm, cultured"
believers in the Christian Science doctrine
deal in Reneralitles, nOtspeciic, positive state
ments. No one can question the motives
Of this sect. but certainly we can demand
proofs indisputable. F. 3. a., NJ. d.
