Notwithstanding the fact that Tia,

chap and the man. They were equipped
with bat and ball and for two hours ot
the afternoon, they entertained tia,
habitues of Main street. 1t was the
formal opening of the ball season. The
ball season means the end OF winter, st
there you are.
BY the way, the initial practice game
convinced the Onlookers that this town
has the material out OF which tino
team may be made. Many OF the young

A LETTER FROM
GOLDFIELD

GoLpFIELD, Nev.
W. c. Black, editor Standard,
Fallon, New.
DEAR SIR: A copy OF your paper OF
the 18th has been sent to me, which
among other things, describes the new
Churchill county mineral belt.
We are interested in this new region
and feel that Churchill county has
treated us very we'll We believe that
the possibilities for development in
in that county are unequaled. Fallon
with its agricultural possibilities
and Fairfield with its minerals, are
the personnels OF duet, which can
hardly be found in a like area throu 9h-
out the Uuited States. Any reason
ing being must recognize that Church
i'll county is destined to eclipse any
thing between the Sierras and the
Rockies.
Whatever can be done in tioldfeld to
aid the new enterprises will certainly
be done. We hope that other towns IN
the State will follow GoldtielG, 5 lead III
wishing their sister all the good fortunes
in the world. Very truly yours,
EDW. 5. VAN DYKE.
