NEVADA is AN EMPIRE.
PRODUCES Everything 1t Needs With.
IN Its Borders.


Unlimited markets for farm nro.
duce.
Ten thousand miners to be snppli-
ed by home producers.
Butter and eggs by the carload
are brought in from other states.
why not raise them at home?
Berries and fruit from California
Utah, Oregon, Utah and Colorado as
well as Washington are deliveredby
express daily in carload and half car
load lots at half dozen distribution
centers of the state.
Nevada is pioneer state with a
payroll, therefore it is different from
others. There is a home market for
everything that can be raised and at
prices that save the producers the
weighty handicap of long distance
transportation.
Fruit growers of Utah and colora-
do, eultiyating fruit lands worth
$500 TO $500 an acre find 1t pays to
ship to Nevada. Therefore 1t stands
TO reason that Nevada fruit growers
On lands costing from s25 to 800
N acre should have no misgivings on
the question Of returns. Why should
not Nevada farmers find a profit by
supplying the trade right at our own
doors?
Nevada farm lands are the best In
yestment in the world today
Mines and mills of Nevada have
payroll OF s7,000.000 a year, dis
bursed in hard money. and the men
who cash the checks want the best
that money can buy.
The railroads of Nevada pay out
this year to employees and in construc
ton work the enormous sum of s5,-
10000. and this will be increased
immensely by development and In
coming population.
Ten thousand miners live in the
mountains and desert sections where
farming is impossible and its a
well settled fact that they must buy
everything that they consume. These
men and their families must be all
fed and clothed.
Nevada produces nine of the great
est staples OF the commercial world
that will always command world wide
markets. These are beef, mutton
wheat. gold. silver, copper and lead.
Nevada can build a fence around her
borders and thrive on the products
OF her own soil Yes and the ma
tions will beg for the surplus.
Nevada is a consumer that pays
the highest price for every commodi-
ty that Is landed at her door. This
alone should be an incentive to the
homebuilder and homeseeker and the
settler who cannot afford to wait 10.
20 or 80 years for the coming popu-
lation that will furnish him a ready
cash market.
As a mineral state Nevada has on
ly began to rank at the head of the
column. Ten years hence twice as
many miners will be employed and
twice the number of carloads of fruit
and vegetables and flour and hay and
grain will be required TO feed the
metal workers.
Nevada has what California lacks
cheap lands Two years hence when
the myriads of industrious immi-
grants pour through the Golden Gate
or filter across the desert from the
first port of call they will seek the
land that lusts for their strong arms
and muscular bodies and thrifty
brains to reclaim. Cheap lands will
appeal to them and they will surge
over into the neighboring state to
realize their dream of land owner
ship
The redemption of the desert has
already begun. Billowing over the
border from Idaho. Utah and Oregon
settlers are coming. They are the ad-
vance guard of an army of Americans
the forerunners of a peaceful con-
ouest that is already felt the whole
length and breadth of the state.
The one salient, indisputable fact
is that Nevada today can promise
seekers after information that when
every acre of tillable land that can
he irrigated by natural fiow' artih-
oial storage, storm floods, watereo
by the aid of pumps or dry farmeu'
e5 per cent of the remaining area
may be used for ranging stock OF IN
the production of minerals Less
than 8 percent of the 7O'Ooo'oVo
acres is helplessly barren-Bonahza'
