NEVADA BUSINESS is GOOD
SAYS DEPUTY FRANK EVANS

Frank Evans of Winnemucca, dep
uty internal revenue collector, is in
Sparks today checking up on small
taxes and interviewing various reve-
nue. tax payers.
Mr.. Evans has had an opportunity
to travel over a considerable por-
tion of the state recently and when
asked regarding conditions he at
once stated that things were look
ing much better in Nevada He said
he could notice revival at the present
indications of brighter aspect for
the business world in Nevada
In speaking of mining. he said 1t
was particularly noticeable that min
ing was picking up and more interest
was being taken. He told of several
big concerns that are scouting around
the mining areas and of the opening
of several mines that had been DOR
mant for some time
Evans advice to everyone Is to
stop crying hard times and look on
the bright side of things His views
are that with all the money there is
in the nation there is no reason for
the present hard times, and he be-
lieyes the conditions would be much
better if people would look on the
bright side of business instead of
going around crying hard times
