Everything necessary to the welfare
OF a mining camp, physical and mental,
was loaded in the train which left last
night, and Los Angeles merchants de-
clare they are going to follow 1t up
with other trains, which will prove
that they are anxious for the business
that awaits them on the other side.
Opens, a Rich Country
The shipments consisted of fourteen
cars of mining machinery, groceries,
household goods, merchandise of all
kinds, a carload of mules and quanti-
ties of hay and grain.
Rol King of Los Angeles, who Is in
terested in mining properties in the
Bullfrog district, is in receipt of let
ter from the president of the Beatty
Bullfrog Commercial club, saying that
every possible arrangement is being
made for the entertainment of the vis-
itors and asking him to extend the in
vitation of the club to Los Angeles
merchants.
1.-The people of Los Angeles have been
accused of being slow in graSping their
opportunities in Nevada" said Mr..
King, "but expect this excursion will
make a difference.
"Los Angeles is the logical mining
center of the west, and as such she
should make the best of her oppor-
tunities. believe that If the right sort
Of a campaign is carried on 1t will not
be long before the mining industry in
the west will give employment to 2OO,-
600 more people.
s'Los Angeles is several hours nearer
the Bullfrog district than Salt Lake
and the extension of the line into Beatty
will open up a rich country"
