Following is the article prepared
by the Churchill County Chamber OF
Commerce, a non-partisan body:
The worldwide excitement caus-
ed by the discovery of the Comstock
a generation ago is yet fresh in the
minds of the Nevadans of those stir
ing days.
Latent in the bosom of Nevada
there is another Comstock, as much
greater than the old as the principal
is greater than the income from one
years interest on an investment.
About six hundred million dollars
has been estimated to have been TIL:
total production from the old Com

wealth that the new Comstock, tn
irrigated farms of Nevada, is destine
to produce. The machinery an
methods for the Newlands Rive

Nevada has gained much from tn
enactment of the Newlands Reel;
nation bill in 1902. The gres
Truckee- Carson project and Labor
tan dam stands as witnesses to thu
fact. But the new and larger mea:
