A rev days ago II. A. McCraney
FOR many years one of the most via
~ known editors of California came
to Los Angeles to pave the way for
the approach of the newspaper mon
OF Nevada. Mr.. McCraney organized
the California Press association years
ago and served as its president for
some time. He took an active inter.
est in politics Of this state for many
years and. knowing where Neyadans
should look for friends, naturally
came to Los Angeles. AS editor ~

paper world of Nevada. He organ
ized the Nevada Editorial association
which numbers among its members
t~hlrty-tour of the fifty-five editors In
the state. The rest are rapidly com
ing into the fold.
Mr.. McCraney expects that he.
tween thirty and fifty editors of his
state will visit Los Angeles with him
G x september, He says that prob.
ably fewer than ten of these men
have ever been to Los Angeles. They,
ana the rest of the inhabitants of our
neighboring state, are beginning TO
realize that Los Angeles is the nat.
ural trading center for that section:
and not only this, it is the one city in
the country which the majority OF
the mine operators and others who
are building up fortunes as a result
OF the development of the mines want
TO make their permanent home. The
great majority of these men went TO
Nevada for one p~urpose--the pursuit
Of wealth. Naturally enough. after
their desires in this particular have
been gratified they will turn to the
mos desirable place of residence In
the country ass their future home.
They are willing to give Los Angeles
the greater share of their trade-to
give 1t all to this city, provided we
nave the goods to deliver-and in re-
turn they make the reasonable re-
quest that the people of this city
shall invest some of their surplus
money in the mining fields of that
state.
Mining in Nevada has ceased to be
an experiment. That state Is bound
to be. in the opinion of di%sinterested
experts. the mos prolific producer
of gold in the United States. There
Is III this city enough surplus capital,
producing no material income. to
develop twenty big and successful
mining camps in Neyada-this, is the
opinion of Mr.. McCraney. The build
ing OF these town would mean an in
crease In population of from seventy
I'VE to a hundred thousand inhabi-
tants, whose necessities of life would
be purchased chiefly. II not entirely,
In Los Angeles,
The logical outcome Of the crea-
ton OF a more friendly spirit toward
the miners of Nevada on the part OF
d people of Los Angeles will be in
~creastng trade and, ultimately, the
removal to this city of men of wealth
who viii contribute to our material
prosperity. The Nevada Offering is
worthy of careful consideration. Men
who dig into the earth in the search
Tor it's mineral wealth make pretty
good friends; and the more friends
OF that class Los Angeles can get the
better off the city will be.-Pacifc
Outlook.
