NEVADA IS GREAT

THE News finds the following IN
G GOODWIN Weekly, from the loyal pen
of Judge C. C. Goodwin, who spent the
best years of his life in this State
Nevada, that lay so long in the sha adj
ows, is having her inning now. She has
been in the past subject to much abuse;
for twenty years it was the joy of edu-
Gated idiots on som, of the great east
ern newspapers to vent their contempt
upon Nevada. Especially in the days
when wholesale robbery of the people
through the demonstration of silver
was going on, Nevada was the butt of
the ridicule and scorn of that press that
really knew no more what they were
doing than did the mob that shouted
Cruelty him! Cruelty him!' before
Pilates judgment hall And there
were learned men who joined in the cry
and among them Grover Cleveland who,
while like most men of his architecture
is a money getter, knows no more of
allie money in nation than Goshoot
Indian.
In the stress of the mighty war Ne
vada, with her gold and silver, held up
the credit of the nation. She enabled
the Government to meet on time her in
terest obligations. Except for that,
greenbacks would have sunk as low as
Confederate notes-a peck of them
ha,,o hn,,rht broolrfoct
But it took but seven years for the
great finauciers of the cast to forget
that In their greed to rob the people,
even if it made our country the pity of
poor Mexico, they set their journals to
work to expose the dishonesty of the
men of the west who protested against
paying with their sweat drops the pre-
MUM on gold which those eastern con
spirators had by legislation established
And Nevada received tho brunt Of theil
imprecations. notwithstanding that i
was Nevada that taught men deep am
scientific mining, notwithstanding tina
it had taught the favored ones of tn
east to cca7c thinking Of thousands II
the larger thought of millions,
But all the time under her robe o
serge sNcvada was holding concealed
more than the treasures of "Ormu
and Ind.
Now she is bringing them forth. As
in the early sixties she was in the cen
ter of the financial world S conccrnmen
she is beginning to assume her old pc
sition.
Today she has three of the worlds
very greatest copper deposits. She ha;
fabulous gold and silver deposits, The
morning is stupid one that does not
herald some new great discovery within
her borders. And those that return
from there cry out. why Nevada i
not yet scratched! Her deeper treas
ures remain yet to be explored''
In this metallic age she comes for
ward with her gold, silver, copper
lead, iron, borax, nickel. salt, bitumin
Gus shales and sulphur to claim full rec
ognition as one of the chiefest control
ling force of the age. And though
desert State, she will have more LAM
under cultivation ten years hence thai
some Of the agricultural States o
the east. And because of her treas
ures and the genius required to cxplor,
and save them, because of her ambe
skies and pure air, she is natrua
nursery to bring out souls that arr
naturally great.
Her old race of giants has passet
away; those that had the energy to try
the tenacity to hold on, and the geniu
to subdue and turn to their benefit tn
obstacles in their path, but like cause
produce like effects, and another race
will succeed them.
The east raises food and textiles tina
like the leaves appear and vanish year
ly. She produces the rougher mineral
and metals, but the wealth that is no
changed by the abrasons of time AM
which is the vital fluid of trade ant
commerce, comes from the west. Ii
that production Nevada is and is to b.
great factor and is entitled to tn
hearty congratulations of all her ole
friends and to the profound respect o
the nation and the world.
