]. N. FULTON STILL
BOOSTING NEVADA

J. M. Fulton, assistant general
freight and passenger agent of the
Southern Pacific company, took ad-
vantage of the holidays to run down
to this end of the state to renew his
acquaintance with shippers. He is en-
thusiastic over the prospects for every
county in Nevada, and without any
qualification, says there is not another
state in the union which can approach
Nevada, says the Tonopah Bonanza.
1.-The state never had such an out
look in promising and substantial
way he said this morning eve
by furnishing feed for 5000 head of
so-called starving cattle from the San
Joaquin valley and other sections of
the adjoining state, and we also have
brought in thousands of sheep to feed
on our ranges and there is lots of
pasture remaining. The spring rains
have given us the best range feed that
has been experienced for number of
years
"With Tonopah in its present con
dition and copper and quicksilver de
velopment at Nina. the developments
at Rochester, Gold Circle, Battle
Mountain, and the combination of the
Giroux and other mines at Ely, Ne
vada is far ahead of any other state
in the union in a mining way I am
more impressed with the agricultural
opportunities. After we irrigate every
reservoirs we will have 81 out of ev-
cry 100 acres of the remaining area
producing mineral and raising live
stock. The man who can secure land
today that Will produce is assured of
the best possible markets at home
Reno, Elko, Winnemucca, Lovelock
and Ely are in wonderful prosperous
condition and everyone is shipping in
foodstuffs produced from the soil of
other states.
"I don t care what they do else
where there cannot be any hard times
in Nevada. We have the beef, NUT
ton, wool and minerals that every
body wants, and all we need to rem
der us Independent is to develop the
hog raising industry. The Southern
Pacific is shipping into Reno alone
$4,000 dozen eggs month which
also shipping to Chicago lumber that
is made into doors and winuows and
sent back to Nevada. We are in hope
that this may be remedied as there
is talk of the serdi company establish
ing sash and door factory in Reno
One of the most remarkable proper
ties In a mining way is that of the
Ruby Silver. owned by George Abel,
who shipped a carload last month that
netted him 800 ton. He can ship a
carload a month without further de-
velopment The mine is situated IA
miles south of Battle Mountain and 13
miles off the railroad.
81 have been over to Goldfeld and
want to say that Tonopah has been
through the same dull times which
that camp is now having, but the
same spirit of determination exists in
Goldfield as it did in Tonopah to make
new discoveries and there is every
prospect of it coming back. -
