NEvADA's PREMIER CITIES

The following from the Denver Mining Record, raises tn question of the
supremacy in Nevada's commercial and mining life, between the state'st two
largest centersf population and business, Reno and GOldfeld;

The foregoing has been taken up by the Reno papers and commented upon
somewhat caustcany showing the sensitiveness o our northern neighbor to any
aoldaed dos not expect % take part in such a controversy. While gladly
advantageous location for manufactures and business, its superior population, and
general prosperity aoldfeld is serene and content in the onsaousnes Of being
most of Renos bl@hngs flow. We are not proud or selfish, and areg glad to know
that Reno is beneftthng by the overflow of good things N which Godfed is fat
tening and growing great It is not necessary % recall that Reno vas but a
whiaing post OF he Southern Pacific until the great gold discoveries If Tonopah
and Goldhed; that it did not get into the mining gam until recently. and then
only by accident, following the opening up of the northern camps of Fanvew and
Ramsey by eoldhed men, And now a year OF more after the establishment o. a
stock exchange in Godfed, emo trais along OF course Goidhed is glad TO see
a Reno exchange. We should like t see al exchange in every city in the country;
for we hav he mines and the stocks and they will all have to con to us for
them. one of the things most desired and most necessary Tor Goldheds mining
business, is a widening market and every exchange helps just that much Reno
will help some
There an be 10 satisfaction derived by Reno in the matter OF supremacy in
the mining stock business by analogy with Colorado Springs True Reno ss
but with an important difference. Colorado Springs became thu seat Of the Grip
pie Creek stock business. because all the mines were owned in Colorado Springs
and tn Offices of all the companies were there. Besides, Colorado Springs is
within a shortd distance of Cripple Creek, has railroad connection Of hours and
dnectt telephone and telegraph service almosto n the instant; whereas the home
omce of nearly every Goldfed mine is at Goldfeld, and the mining stock business
of this and other Nevada camps is already established at this point and Gold
field has n established reputation throughout the mining world as thu mining
center of Nevada. Reno is 100 far away from Goldfeld. Tonopah and Bulfrog
the three greatest camps of h state to know what is going on until it is a over,
mi this is too serious handicap for N exchange And beside, Gohfed oper

little city to become the mining stock center If Nevada.
AS to Reno's commercial supremacy, we will pass it up FOR the present; but
it must be remembered that Godfed is in the heart OF a vat empire and of
Imfuess mineral resources and this city is already its recognized center of bust
ness and mining activity. With railroad communication to tn South as well as
to the North, and with the southern railroads helping this city and drawing from
Reno, it is not impossible that Goldfeld will supass Reno in population and be-
ONE the chiefst city il szeo Nevada.

cope. and lead, are 10y at the highest point they have been for years Import
