The Los Angeles papers are full OF
the stories told by the excursionists
who visited southern Nevada last
week The following appears in the
Los Angeles Examiner along with
scores Of signed statements over the
signatures OF prominent men to the
effect that the great tales of Nevada's
wealth are not exaggerated
The Examiner says:

on the infinite possibilities Of riches
that may yet be buried in these bad
lands-lands that for centuries seem

bleached the bones of the few daring
white men who attempted their in
