NEVADA WAS FORTY THREE YEARS Old THURSDAY
Union Time When Her Bullion Was Needed and
which Misfortune

cut some of the trees and planted them
quickly. and as the weather was good
some of them sprouted and the limbs
had to be trimmed frequently.
lanes Sullivan, one of the pioneers
of Nevada, told some of the stories OF
the political warfares in 1864. They
used to tell about Governor Nye and his
efforts to land the United States Senator
ship after the election of the first Legis-
lature Some of his opponents charged
that he secured the Office by promises to
give away logs which he had the power
to dispose Of After his election COM
mittee was appointed to investigate the
charge, and they reported that they
found mill along the river for mill
site, but they didn't find logs for dam
by a damsite.
Those were the DAYS of the Overland
stage, which made trips between st. Jo-
seph, Mo-, and Placerville. 1t cost two
bits to mail letter on that stage line,
and letter to Michigan would cost Sl.
People travelled from California III great
numbers to Gold Hill and Virginia, and
| remember walking down Taylor from
B to c street when it was all l could do
to crowd through OH the street, there
were so many people on the street. They
were from everywhere on the globe. The
women still chung to hoopskirts, and
when lady came along there was always
self-appointed body guard to clear an
open space for her. Reno was not on
the map then and did not come until
1868.
1.-The people that were around in those
days are nearly all gone, but those who
saw the boom days on the Comstock will
never see such times again. If man
did not behave himself he got swift JUS
tice, but on the whole it was a law-abid-
ing community

as was the more important reason OF the
immense production of wealth from the
mines The President was not slow to
sign the proclamation of statehood,
which act occurred as stated on October
81, 1864.
James w. Nye had been Territorial
Governor from 1861 to 1864 and was sue
ceeded by Henry G. Blaisdell at the
election held in November
Ex-Governor Nye became candidate
for United States Senator and was elect
ed Senator with William M. Stewart of
Storey county.
Daniel Boyd. the present County
Treasurer, remembers the events of war
times very well and'tells some reminis
cences:
The Constock was booming in those
days, but it was before the time of the
Big Four. Flood, Mackay, Fair and
o. Brien. At that time they used to To-
cate their mines in different way. the
first locator being able to locate just
about the way he wanted to. Ordinarily
they claimed 200 feet on the vein and if
it was stock company each member
had right to similar amount, some
thing like placer locations now. The
big consultations did not come until
later when the small owners found their
funds going down SO that they organized
into larger companies. Then they went
down 1900 feet. when they struck water
and dug the Sutro tunnel.
Referring to the statement that in
those times the telegraph wires were
strung on sagebrush, Mr.. Boyd said:
That used to be a joke, but the reason
was that the telegraph lines here were
put through here very rapidly when they
got started They went down by Carson
City aud Placerville and used the cot
tonwoods along the river banks. They

October 81. 1907, will be the 43d ami
versary of the day on which President
Lincoln signed the document completing
the admission of Nevada as State.
There are not many people in Nevada to-
day who can tell about what happenedin
those stirring times 43 years back, but
what is recalled is OF great interest to the
new generation.
Reno was not on the map then nor
until four years later, when the railroad
came through. Virginia was the big
town and the times that were haa during
the boonis4on the Comstock read today
like fable.
Nevada was originally called the
Washoe country and was not organized
as Territory until 1861. A provisional
government, however. had been estab-
lished 1883 under Isaac Roop. A year
later, in 1859, the Comstock had been
discovered. which in the ten years that
followed produced Sl37, 900, 600 in silver.
lii September. 1853 an election was
held for delegates to form State Con-
s,itution. who went into convention at
Carson November 2, adjourning Decem-
Der II in some spirit Of contention.
The Constitution proposed by the first
convention was rejected by the people
owing to some political rivalry among
tile candidates for office, but principally
on account of clause permitting the
taxing OF shafts, drifts and bedrock
tunnels. Congress passed anaher en-
abling act in March, 1864, and the new
Constitution as amended was accepted
by the people in the following July at a
special election. The fact that the new
State of Nevada would have represent
alton of three in the Electoral College
which could be counted on by the Re-
publicans was strong feature impelling
the admission of the State at that time

Mr.. PAYNE OF DENVER SPEAKS OF CAMP OF BUCKSKINS

r. ID. Payne of Denver arrived in
Reno last Saturday from Buckskin, where
lie has been making an examination of
the camp.
1t is Mr.. Payne's conviction that Buck
skin is not only primarily copper camp
but one of the greatest copper camps in
the country. He believes that the mines
OF Rnckskin are equal to the best copper
properties in Yerington.
lie is particularly enthusiastic about

In sinking this shaft body of ore was
encountered that will go 500 to the ton.
The ore which he brought with him
was unusually rich and amply bore out
his claims as to the value of Buckskin
rock.
He left for Oakland on the midnight
train, but expects to return to Buckskin
i'll few days to take an active personal
interest in the doings of that camp. -

Things VS.. Ideals.

From Everybody's.
1t has to come. For America IL ever vital
with millions Of fresh lives-and inevitably
develops. For a century we have been
straining to draw riches from mines and
prairies and forests and mills; absorbed
for a century in things: and now we are
beginning to turn to ideals: first to the
rugged old sociaP ideals of justice, equality,
freedom for all: and then to esthetic ideals
of the beauty that uplifts and forever en-
dures. And as the people rise to the task
and the fight for justice and freedom every
where sharpens in the political fields, 1t is
a relief to turn just for moment to the
more peaceful phase of our growth, to the
stories-toyous, dramatic, inspiring-of those
who are working for beauty; and to find
that in Chicago. the very center OF the rush
and the grab, there is rising a great west
ern home OF art. 1t is n place of life and
high spirits and fun-for the 1900 young
artists boys and girls of twenty; a
place of privation and sacrifce-for hum
dreds live only from hand to mouth: and
Il place of deep enthusiasm, of day and
night work-for Americans are not afraid
