Winnemucca Is Years Ago Today
From The Daily Silver State

Winnemuccas Future-Winn emucca lies in the midst of a
fertile valley, which is well waite red and only wants the entry OF
settlers of sufficient energy, to become a veritable garden. Nor is
this her only claim to superiority over many of the less fortunate
ly situated towns in the state, for within a radius of ten miles
are mountains Astounding in rich ores awaiting the advent of the
miner. A single days trip over the mountains will reveal to the
prospector numberess lodges of both low and high grade gold and
silver ore. These lodges can be W orked at a good profit and with
the advent of capital Winnemucca will take her position as leading
mining camp of the Silver state, while the rancher, keeping pace
with the miner, will raise sufficient products of the soil to meet
every demand of the increased population.
The trustees OF winnemucca Hose Company No. 1 advertise in
todays issue for the plans and bids for the construction of a build
ing for that company. 1t is to be built of stone or brick. ~
There will be a reception given Rev. J H. ~ Williams and
bride Monday evening at the Methodist parsonage.
