Show NEVADA. Hl Great old Nevada is outdoing herself these ! days. She is putting on her old robes of power, j such as she wore when the great bonanzas oh the Comstock were the world's wonder. The di's-coveries di's-coveries of new mines, the awakening of old ones, the utilizing of water to increase her agri- cultural area by a million virgin acres have '"H awakened a new life and doubled the population ' .H of our sister state, and as the witches told Mc- beth, "the greatest is behind." Nevada in three :H years more should become again one of the fore- !fl most of mining states, at least so far as gold and lfl silver and copper are concerned, and as a range and agricultural state will exceed some of the fam- jfl ous states east of the Mississippi. Heartiest lfl congratulations are in order for Nevada on its 91 showing now. fljl |
