NEVADA SHOWS GAIN OF 40
PER CENT in POPULATION

According to the 1918 census re-
port, the State of Nevada is credited
with a population of 114,000. This is
a 40 per cent increase over the cen-
sus of 1910, when this State was
credited with a population of only
$1,000. Conservative estimators de-
clare that the increase this year will
be large and that there will be many
more thousands added in the next
two or three years. They base their
claims on the demands for Nevada
lands, as shown by Land Office en-
tries. In one day in the United States
land Office forty-three entries were
made and there were more than fifty
applications received.
Increased interest in mining also
is bringing thousands of people to
the State at present, and those men
who are in a position to judge made
the statement freely that the Tono-
pah Divide will bring in a great in
flux almost Immediately.

BANK and HOTEL
FOR DIVIDE CITY

Divide City is to have a bank as
one of its first business institutions
saws the Divide City Times. The lot
whereon the building will stand was
selected this week by George Wing
field. who controls a string of finan-
cial institutions throughout Nevada,
and who is one of the largest opera
tors in Divide, as well as in other
sections of the West.
Material is now being delivered on
the ground for the new 35-room hotel
to be erected by the Divide City
Townsite Company, and construction
work will start in the near future.
The United Cattle and Packing Com
pany, through j. B. Humphrey, has
selected a lot and plans have been
matured whereby a suitable struc-
ture will be put up for conducting a
general market business.
1t is expected that an order will be
issued within a few days permitting
the establishment Of a postof1ce at
the mining camp on the desert, and
in order to be in readiness for the
event j. H. Miller and associates have
selected a lot upon which a building
will be erected wherein Uncle Sam
will transact his business with the
public.
The Meyer hotel at Rhyolite, which
is to be moved TO Divide City, will
probably be delivered on the ground
within a few days and a e of
mechanics will be pressed into serv-
ice in making the building ready for
occupancy. This structure has 35
rooms.
Town lots are going like hot cakes
and there has been a wild scramble
among investors to secure locations
to their liking. The city is budding
and will soon blossom like a rose.
