THURSDAY MORNING, FEB. 19th.
‘Nevapa.—Never, in thehistory of Nevada,
“has 0 much prospecting in gold, silver and
eopper been carried on as at the present
“time. “Ground that hae‘Ysid dormant. for
years hus been prospected and found to be
of thé greatest value. No one has any idea
of the namber of rich‘claims that have been
discovered within a few. months—many of
them witbir'a few weeks. It is not surprieing now, when we see parties starting out
on a trip of this kind,to hear of their coming
‘mn contact with rich. diggings, of some cuatacter. Miners are taking the deepest iute~
gat in-the new lodes and-are making a thor
~ failing to get. a few dollars _to the pan, desert their claims and look for something
richer. Now, if they succeed in rajsing the
color, they stick to it—as they should do—tiH
the ground bas been thoroughly ransacked.—
The following case is a-fairiliustration of how
claims have been abandoned because they
would not pay: A friend of ours was telling
us ofa claim he had purchased 16. longer ago
than last'week. He was out prospecting, and
_ eeeing a few dilapidated sluice~boxes remains
ing in a set of claims that looked as if they
had not bee: touched for several years, comwenced panning out and succeeded in ob+
taining a favorable prospect. He ascertains
ed the owner of the claims and asked it be
wished to selt them. ‘Tbe owner told biu.
he might have the lot for $25. Our friend
pungled, and before night he succeeded in
paaning out $28— getting the claims and $3
tor his day’s prospecting. He thinks as soon
ashe can get water he will take out a large
amount of money. Just so with many ofthe
abanduned claims. The original owners have
lost confidence in good ground, simply be~
enuse they lacked the perseverance tu teat
it. We presume if another humbug e2— citement is kicked up, this section of country
~~ will go unprospected uatila new set of people arrive in the places of those who are carried off: -We beligye to-day if this region was
thoroughly taken in hand it would produce
more.in-the next twelve months than it has
* in any previous year. We lack men of ener_ ay and determination. The fact is very apparent of late thst most of our business men
are becoming interested in mining. By this
atep they wili be largely benefitted. First
in building up the town in such a manner
as its resources will most assuredly justify.
Secondly, in increasing their business and
enhancing the value of their property.—
How often has it been stated that. the only
thing that kept Nevada up was the simple
fact of ite-being the county seat. -At-times
we thought, when men dwelt on thie fact,
that it would be a good idea tu have the
eounty seat changed, in order to awaken our
merchants, who have so much at stake bere,
trom the sleep which seems to know no wak~
ing, to a full realization of the position they
eccupy. .Then they would eacourage railroads— new roads would be built leading out
in every direction, capital would be invert:

Very door. How many chances the people
of Nevada have let slip by them during the
past-ten years. ‘The Henness Paes road has
_been kept open to travel this winter for the
first time. The Washoe trade to which we
are justly entitled has been allowed to go by”
the way of Placerville. We could . have
silver excitement to the present time. No,
we let it go, thereby enriching another portion of the State instead of eur own. Some
eay this travel has ‘amonnted to but very
little, ne this winter proves. Only short~
sighted men view it m.such a light. They
forget that this ia the first season the experiment hae been tried, and being looked upon
aga doubtful one, the traveling community
had no confidence in it. “The snow has been
