and oats. Livestock is an mpor-
tant agricultural industry in the
state. The principal forms of live
stock raised in Nevada are horses,
cattle (including milk cows),
sheep and swine.
The mineral resources of Ne
vada reach tremendous volumes.
"As might be expected, the chief
wealth of this mountainous re-
gion is mineral" Silver is the
major mineral. Other mineral re-
sources include; gold, copper, py-
rites, zinc, lead, iron, quicksilver,
tungsten, sulphur, graphite, gyp-
sum, borax and building stone.
"The forest area is more than
100000 acres, of which 4,97l,-
335 acres are national forests
There are but 80 establishments
for manufacturing in Nevada, and
they employ a total of All pco-
pie. Flour milling and lumber
ing, the building and repairing of
railroad cars, and smelling are
the principal forms of industrial
enterprises there"
Only two per cent of the native
whites of Nevada are illiterate.
For the state as a whole, the per-
centage of illiteracy is A. No
figures are given for the negroes,
so naturally we suppose there are
none in Nevada to amount to any
thing. Education is developing
each year. Two state-supported
educational institutions of higher
learning are in Nevada. The Uni
versity Of Nevada, at Reno, which
offers all the courses found IN
other universities; and the School
of Mines at Virginia City.
Many visitor who goes to Ne
vada, goes to Reno for the pur-
pose of securing divorce; but
that is not all there is 20 that
great state of Nevada. One should
not leave Nevada without seeing
the state capitol; Lake Tahoe
which forms part of the border
line between Nevada and Cali
formal the high Sierras in all
their grandeur and beauty; and
the great mining centers from
which are produced the major
amount of the country's two pre-
cious metals, gold and silver. Las
Vegas, where is located the great
Hoover (some call it Boulder I
dam, is attracting thousands of
visitors each year, and the sight is
well worth the trip. The largest
city in Nevada is Reno with a
static population of 1929.
In 1881 two bills were passed
through the Nevada state legisla-
ture. One was for the legalizing
of gambling; and the other for
the enforcement of a law provid-
