And Her Reconstruction

for some point where the states min
eral treasures were sufficiently centered
to render development profitable.
STRUGGLE FOR TREASURE.
The struggle for mineral treasure IN
Nevada was undoubtedly surrounded
by more dangers, discOmforts ana de-
privations than faced the prospector IN
any other section Of the great west.
Water was noted principally for It's
scarcity or total absence, roads, there
were none, and in the deceptive areas
of her sun-baked valleys many pros,
hector has found nothing save starva-
ton and perhaps death In following his
brave search for hidden riches. yet IN
the face of all this opposition of nature
that bold skirmish line of development
formed OF hardy prospectors kept UP
a never-ceasing search through the
boulder-strewn hills and mirage tinted
valleys Of the state.
IL was not until the dawn of the new
century that the struggles of these
sturdy pioneers met with marked sue
cess. and yet when this success did
come 1t was so tremendous in size and
value as to astonish the mining experts
of the world First came the location

BENEFITS OF RAILWAYS.
To one unacqualnted with Nevada's
characteristics realization is almost
impossible OF the benefits brought To
the state by the construction of these
railways. Prior to their coming thous-
ands OF tons OF ore, carrying enough
mineral to enrich kingdom, were
thrown as useless upon the dumps be-
cause Of the immense cost OF transport
ing these ores TO "a smelling center.
Now all Is changed and hundreds OF
claims, unproductive heretofore, have
been brought within a reaching radius
OF these bases of supply prospectors
have scattered out to hitherto unac-
cessibe sections, and, by tho result OF
their search, have brought about many
discoveries which will add TO Nevada's
wealth, not alone In gold and silver but
in copper and other metals as well.
II Is not alone TO the development Of
Nevadas mineral resources that these
lines of transportation have become
available but with the increase of pop
ulation the search for water has been
carried diligently ON and with its sue
cessful prosecution many sections of
the state have been shown to be so
thoroughly available for agriculture
and horticulture as to render them self
supporting In this class of products.
The transition of Nevada has been
rapid. From every section of the world

come from a civilian expert en-
ployed 70 examine and pass upoa The
conditions prevailing at the naval gun
factory at the Washington Navy Yard.
Every now and thea some one at
tacks the plant as being inadequate
ana improperly and extravagantly
operated. The Navy Department has
felt that it has been hanpered in its
defence against such criticism BY the
congressional suspicious that the in
formation contained in the department
tai reply was more or less peju-
diced in favor Of the gun factory.
With the information Oh. aimed from
an impartial source, 1t is now pos.
slble to answer the critics, to the
enect that the gun factory is economi-
caliy administered; that the officers
employed there are conscientious and
efficient in the discharge of their
duties; that the civilian workmen are
the most expert of Their class; that
the product of the factory is in all re-
spects better than could be obtained
In the same time under contract. '.he
report will have value should the
Navy Department decide 20 recon-
mend an extension in the facilit es Of
the gun factory. There is little chance
that any such suggestion will be re-
ceived favorably in course of tao
coming session of Congress, but the
report nevertheless may serve 10
purpose in that or some other coanec.

Introduction Of the Peach.

There is an interesting story about
the Introduction of the peach into
America more than 200 years ago. In
Maryland there is an old estate called
Peach Blossom, which was the seat OF
the historical Robins family, who
came from England. One Of the fam
lily, Thomas Robins, was a great trav-
eler and roamed all over the accessible
regions Of the world In Persia he
found the peach fruit then unknown
In England and America, and brought
back some peach stones which were
planted on the Robins estate When
the trees blossomed the flowers were
SO much admired that the name Of the
estate was changed from Arcadia to
Peach Blossom. A stone tablet once
gave the date of the planting of the
peach stone, but it has disappeared in
the general wreck and ruin of the
place, the glories of which departed
many years ago.-National Fruit
