STATE COVE RNOR
TALKS Of FUTURE
Tells the People of Ca'if~-- W.
This State Is Entering Into an
Era of Peace and Plenty
for Those Who Stick

Resumption of mining activities
on large scale in Nevada points
the way to an era of prosperity
that bids fair to be unprecedented
in the history of the state, accord
ing to Governor Emmett d. Boyle,
who was guest of the Palace yes
terday, says. the San Francisco
Chronicle. These activities are
statewide, said Governor Boyle,
and are not confined to any par
ticular section.
"Among the new milling enter
prises either completed or under
construction are the 300-ton mill
at the Candelaria mine; the 100
ton mill at Hilltop; the f50-ton mill
at the Betty O'Neal, and, of
course, the big mill of the United
Comstock Mines at Comstock City
and Gold Hill. This last mill has a
capacity of 100000 tons a day
and is the largest mill of its kind
in the United States.
an southern Nevada the lead
and zinc mines are again begin
hing to operate and there are two
gypsum enterprises which have
every prospect of doing a big bust
ness in the near future. One of
these is in southern Nevada and
he other at Gerlach, North of
Reno.
"a entering plant is being in
corporated in the 2400-ton smelter
ut Thompson, which has been shut
down since the close of the war,
when copper dropped so low in
price. The Nevada Consolidated
Copper company at Ely has also
resumed operations, and is employ
ing more than 400 men there at
the present time. They have re-
)uilt the concentration, which was
destroyed by fire last July, and
have two other units now under
construction.
Nevada is coming back agricul-
turally as well, and there are three
reclamation protests now under way
which give an idea of the magni-
tude of this phase of state develop
ment. To begin with, the Reclama-
ton Service is now conducting me-
gotiations looking to a settlement
of the Truckee river water rights.
Among the things this will make
possible are the elimination of the
Lake Tahoe controversy by provid-
ing storage elsewhere: the augmen-
tation of water storage in lands al
ready developed; and it will ulti-
mately bring in an excess of 5000
acres of additional land.
"Then there is the completion of
the first unit of the Walker river
irrigation district, WHICH will place
in service this year the storage res
ervoir at Topaz lake. This already
provides irrigation for 10000 acres,
and when the project will have been
completed will add an additional
10000 acres.
'"The Reclamation Service is also
beginning to organize an irrigation
district on the upper Carson river.
The storage sites have already been
tied up, and this project will add
between $4,000 and 10000 acres to
the Carson valley section of arabic
land.
GAS an index to the future of Ne
vada, one has only to look at the
registration at the University of
Nevada, which this year has reached
maximum of 500. The collegiate
registration in Nevada has trebled
within the last five years. Notwith-
standing the apparent slump in the
states population, as reported by
the last census, our school popula-
ton is increasing steadily. Taking
everything into consideration, the
future of Nevada is extremely
bright"
Governor Boyle was here to at
tend the conference of western
governors. He returned home last
night.
