Nevada Entering Upon a New Era

There is every indication that Ne
vada is entering upon the mist pros
porous year in its history, and that
this prosperity is destined to reach
every line of industry represented in
the state.
The outlook for mining was never so
good before, and it is freely prophe-
sled that the mineral output for 1910
will exceeo that of any other state in
the union.
Agriculture is coming to be recog-
nized as one of the leading industries
Of the state, and the demand for
firm lands is becoming more general,
since it has been demonstrated that
the soil is remarkably productive with
the application of water furnished by
the rapidly increasing irrigation en-
terprises already completed or in an
advanced stage of construction.
Sugar beet culture will claim q large
measure of attention this year and the
beet sugar factory to be built at Fallor
will doubtless prove the truth of the
claim that beets grown in Nevada sol
contain larger percentage of saccha-
rine matter than those grown in any
other part of the country.
Taking it all in sll, prosperity
promises to be general all over the
state. Journal.

running fleet between the beds on the
lower Potomac and the market here, was
brought into port yesterday by the tug

a generally wrecked condition, as a re-
suit of an encounter with a heavy gale
on the river. The Dove was on her
way to this city Wednesday night last,
u short distance above Matthias point

gale from the northeast. Before the
wind pressure could be eased on the
sails, both masts snapped off d few feet
above the deck and went over the side
Capt. Rose. the master of the Dove
and the one man he had aboard had to
do some quick work to save the sails
and broken spars. and to keep them
from pounding the vessel and damag-
ing her hull. They were finally gotten
aboard, however and the vessel anchored
to await the dying out of the gale.
The Camilla came along Thursday even
ing, and. taking the disabled craft in
tow. brought her here.
AS soon the cargo of oysters she
has aboard is disposed of she will be
taken to a shipyard to be fitted with
new masts and made ready for service
Capt. Rose had recently had the Dove
overhauled and painted and put in
thorough order for the oyster trade.
