The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1907-05-11
TINE FOR ACTION
Is Eureka Mining District to Be
Represented in the East?
The Question

William j. Brewer. an Indiana man
who has made q fortune in Goldfeld,
will pay the $780, 900 expenses of q
special train that will be sent from
this State to New York. advertising
the Of Nevada. The excur.
sion train will consist Of five Pullman
cars. and will carry representative men
OF this State-Senators Newlands aud
Nixon, Congressman Bartlett, Governor
Sparks, the State officials. Chairman
Davis Of the Publicity Commission,
newspaper editors and press agents and
business men.
Although Mr.. Brewer announced tb.
proposed excursion to Chairman Davis,
nevertheless the entire trip will be
under the direction of the Publicity
Commission. Banners telling the pur.
pose of the trip will be hung to the
sides OF the train. A collection OF rich
ores Of the Nevada mines will be stored
in the cars and they will be exhibited
in all the large cities of tho East.
The Brewer plan to boost Nevada is a
good one, and should, and no doubt
will. il carried out as proposed, result
in incalculable benefit in advertising
the Of this State. But that
gentlemen has only set the pace. 1t
now remain for the other men of Ne
vada who have been favored by fortune
10 follow his example and lend their as
sistance in advertising to the world the
great mineral possibilities of this State
and the splendid chances offered capital
for legitimate investment.
Commercial organizations are either
formed or forming in nearly all of the
large towns Of the State, and there lie
either a Commercial Club or Chamber
Of Commerce already organized at every
county seat in Nevada with the possible
exception Of Eureka. These ~organisa-
tions have entered upon the work of
carrying out the idea of Mr.. Brewer.
The proposed excursion will leave Ne
vada for the East in September and
there is q vast amount Of preliminary
work to be done In the interim.
A short time ago the SENTINEL called
the attention of its readers to the fact
that Eureka mining district was the
only section Of the State that did not
have either a Commercial Club or
Chamber Of Commerce. and hoped by
so doing to arouse some OF the more
.enterprising representative men to
action. But up to the present time, it
regrets to announce. the hope has not
been realized.
One thing is certain. II this district
expects to ride in the Brewer band
wagon this Fall the people should 20
be moving in the matter. 1t is a con.
dition and not a theory that confronts
them.
II we understand the outline of the
proposed excursion, one Of the first
things to be done in every mining dis
trict in the State is for its Commercial
Club or Chamber Of Commerce to ap-
point some citizen in the district as a
delegate with power to act. After his
appointment this delegate would open
an office at the county seat, to which
specimens of the various ores of the
district. funds contributed. and literary
matter advertising the resources of the
county. would be sent. This gentleman
would then begin to get the collection
in order and have everything in readi.
ness when the excursion train came
along.
Now, the SENTINEL, in m with
the citizens Of this county. does not
want to see this section Of the State left
out. 1t will therefore offer a suggestion
II it is believed to be impracticable
to form q Commercial Club or some
such organization at the present time.
then let a few representative citizens
get together and call a public meeting.
to be held in Eureka. for the purpose OF
discussing the matter. and at that meet
ing elect some citizen to act as a dele
gate Of this district for the purpose re-
ferred to above. That will give the
thing q start. and we believe If a begin
ming is once made IL will be surprising
to see the number Of volunteers that
will present themselves to aid in the
work. Citizens of Eureka, it is mp to
you to say whether Or no you desire to
have the great mineral possibilities Of
Eureka Mining District given the grand
est advertising in the East that has ever
occurred since the discovery of mineral
