NEVADA IS PULLING
OUT FASTER THAN
ANY OTHER STATE

As Nevada was among the first of
the states to feel the depression,
and was among the first states hard
est hit by the financial stringency, so
II seems to be among the first to re-
cover its stride once the stringency
has passed, and will be showing sub
stantial progress over the record of
last year long before other states
have done congratulating themselves
that they have come somewhere near
their former mark
Such, substantially was the opinion
expressed by j. A. Reeves, general
freight agent of the Oregon Short
Line, who has returned recently from
an extensive trip through the terri
tory tributary to the Southern Pa
cifc in Nevada, in Salt Lake in
teryiew. Mr.. Reeves included in his
trip Tonopah and other mining
centers.
Nevada will return to prosperity
to find her business on much more
conservative basis than heretofore"

panic with its attendant financial
disasters. has been somewhat of a
blessing, there. But the develop

portion Of deaths caused in this way is

place, and the indirect cause IN more
than 3 per cent Among the insane the
use Of alcohol has caused insanity and

TASKS FOR EXPLORERS
Vast Areas of the Worlds Surface Remain Unprobed Wilder
ness some Parts of America Being in This Class

for centuries. The entire central portion
Of Central Australia is an unknown des-
ert. crossed iE one portion by the trans
continental telegraph line. but totally Un-
explored outside the small parallel strip
Of territory which borders IL. Those who
remember the great De Rougemont fraud
OF a few years back. when the marvellous
stories Of the pseudo-Australian discOv-
erer were greedily swallowed by the
Royal Geographical Society, may bear
witness 10 the truth OF this.
Nor is our own continent greatly supe-
rior In this respect 90 those OF the an
cient world. Three-fourths Of Canada is
a wilderness OF marsh and tundra. The
southern half of Florida IS still the haunt
of Indians, who live there much as in De
Sot0s time. Palm Beach and the most
fashionable resorts Of the east coast are
hardly mare than Oases along the edge
Of a p8thless wilderness Of mangrove
swamps. Mexico. Lower California, and
the Northwest are still possessed chiefly
by unconquered Indians as Is the in
terror OF Tucatan, the peninsula which
juts out into the Gulf Of Mexico. where
descendants OF the Aztecs still dwell in
The recesses Of the jungle. The vast in
terror Of Brazil is given over 10 rowing
tribes of cdnnibalistic tendencies. whose
own interiors are often replenishad from
the rubber gatherers that haunt the
banks of the streams in their search for
q livelihood.
When we add 10 these regions the enor-
NOUS continent around the south pola-
regions whose existence. dimly conceived
by the first travellers Of fifty years ago,
was only demonstrated during the first
years of the twentieth century. and where
new forms OF life and even new races
may possibly be found. Il becomes evi-
dent that there are explorations still TO
be made before adventurous spirits turn
their attention TO the canals of Mars and
the Saturnian rings.
