NEVADA CLUB
IS THE NAME

nevada Club is the name of j.
craut CrumIey's new saloon in the
stote Bank and Trust Company build
~ and it is the finest saloon not
~ On the Pacific Coast. but its
nal would be hard to find this side
J New York. This may seem like
arawing a long bow, but an inspec-
Ian of the magnificent quarters is
convincing. Marble, mahogany, til
no colcred and clear art glass, mir
rors ano myriads of incandescent
electric lamps, solid silver utensils,
bsautiful cut glass, an elaborate cosy
corner, heavy bronze cuspidors, a
handsome lunch counter and a mas
slye safe with safe deposit vaults, are
some of the effects which in combin-
alton disclose a work of art.
Day or night, the visitor cannot
help being struck with the richness
of the interior, but 1t is at night, un-
der the glow of the electric lamps
that the place Is seen at its best. The
Nevada Club was lighted up last
night for the benefit of a few friends.
Entering from either of the corner
doors Of heavy mahogany frame,
studded with clear art glass, the view
that strikes the vision is effective and
immediate. To the left or right, ac-
eording to the door through which
the entrance IL made, is the cosy
corner, fitted up in mahogany and
clear art glass, and a tall w~ainscoting
Of New York marble. The wainscot-
ing extends around the apartment,
with the base in Tennessee marble.
The floor Is covered with thing, and
the ceiling is Of steel in pretty de-
sign. Depending from the ceiling, at
intervals, are three-colored art glass
electric chandeliers, each Of which
contains t%wenty-four lights. There
are numberless lights in the wall be-
sides.
The top piece of the bar is of solid
mahogany, and before It is a solid
bronze footrest. Behind the bar Is
a mirror eighteen feet in length, re-
necting a dazzling array Of cut glass.
Liquor will be dispensed only in cut
glass vessels, whether they be bottles
or drinking glasses. Behind the bar,
the drainboard is in German silver,
and the pitchers and shakers are of
solid silver. At one end of the bar,
10 the left, Is a mahogany bottle case,
where there are tempting case goods
already stored. Below this, and
forming part of the bar, is the cigar
stand, where the best to be had in
the way Of Havana goods is to be
kept. Opposite the bar toward the
north. stands the burglar-proof safe,
and its safe deposit vaults, and at the
north end is the lunch counter in
mahogany, with a mirror behind It.
Over this is to rest a fine painting OF
Cheyenne canyon. showing the road
in the mountains leading from Color
ado Springs to Cripple Creek.
To the east OF the counter is the
layatory IN marble and thing, hand
somely finished. There Is a twelve
inch exhaust fan, and In the bar, in
passing, there Is an eig"hteen-inch fan
Of the anne description. Leading
from the lavatory is a winding stair
to the wine cellar and the clubroom
and office. There is enough cut glass
stored to stock another saloon, and
there is enough wine and liquor to
stock two more saloons. Mr.. Crum-
ley will handle nothing but the finest
Old Grow whiskey. and he has It in
stock to be seen at any time, goods
Of 1899 to 1901.
OF from the wine room is the club
room, which is not yet completed.
There are to be card tables and a
roulette wheel in this apartment,
lounging chairs and diyans. Costly
rugs will cover the cement floor, and
tho ceiling, when finished, is to be
another work of art. on from the
clubroom is the Office, where there
are a couple of desks, chairs, and
where there viii be writing material,
and all the magazines kept on hand.
There Is an entrance to this apart
ment from Brougher avenue There
is a system Of telephones through the
apartments, with a private switch
board In the bar. From the club
room, drinks can be ordered, and CEN
trail will never know who's who, or
what's doing. At the same time the
man at the telephone in the base
ment may be connected with any part
of the town, or with long distance.
There is also a private booth in the
barroom. where one can shut himself
In from the noise and hustle, and be
