NEVADA TRIUMPHANT.

lhe toloInR tribute to tue new Ne
Sada is from the Salt Lake Tribune:
For a great many years the people east
the Alleghenies have been harping
uron Nevada as a arolten borough |
Ii same time there has never been
anything i'll Nevada politically rs rotten |
as political developments in Now York,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Delaware

have shown e1is. there. Nevada came

known rs the Battle. born State" The
idea was that Nevada would, in the
nations financial trouble, with the tire.

making, furnish a stable basis OF pre-
cions metals for currency, q basis that
then tremendously needed. From
the time OF the decline OF the Comstock
the population and output Of Nevada
decreased until the total OF the census
i'll 1900 showed the state To have but
little more population than an ordinary
country city in the East. However, we

knew thnt tile State WAS hardly pros

We knew that IN every way tIer re was a
great future Tor the State OF Nevada,
and now that future begins to appear.
1t Is curious TO note the changed tone
OF the Eastern press with respect to Ne
vada since the new era began. First,
tho great irrigation enterprise Of the
Government, taking the waters OF the
Carson and the Truckec rivers, opened
the eyes OF the observing Eastern
people. The tremendous mineral dis
cnveries in TUnopab, Goldiield, Bull
frog. Manhattan, Fdirview and at othe
places throughout the central and
southern parts Of the State opened the
eyes OF the Eastern people still further.
until now there is general interest. in
Nevada and all over the United States ;
and it is conceded by all that the former
adverse judgement OF the East with re-
spect to Nevada WINS altogether wrong.
The Western view il sustained and
everywhere it is recognized that Nevada
under the new conditions is ono Of tho
coming States. No State IN the whole
Union presents a scene OF such growth,
such promising and hopeful activity, rs

take advantage Of the grent reclamation
