Ghe Grea.t State of Nevada.
(Special correspondence.)
Nevada ia bounded on the south
and west by California, north by
Oregon and Idaho, east by Utah
and Arizona. It is larger than
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, Dele
ware, Maryland, Rhode Island,
Connecticut and one-half of West
Virginia, combined. In its pro
duction of gold and silver between
the years 1866 and 1902 she ranks
the third state in the Union, and
since 1902 up to the present time
her production has relatively in
creased greater than any other
state. It was the cradle of the
great Comstock mine. Nothing in
the mining world has exceeded in
richness the great Comstock lode.
Humboldt county contains an
area of 16,800 square miles. It
would make two states as large as
Massachusetts and New Jersey and
there would still be left over 610
square miles for a Piute Indian
reservation.
The Willow Creek mining dis
trict contains an area of 200 square
miles
The principal minerals
contained in thb district are gold,
silver and lead. Owing to one or
two failures made in the mining
business by cattlemen, who pur
chased an old stamp mill worn out
and forty years behind the times,
the development of the district has
been greatly retarded,
was erected fourteen miles from the
The mill
properties and it cost $16 per ton
to haul the ore and $65 per day to
run a five stamp mill. Is it any
wonder that failures were made
and the district received a setback
from which it is only now recover
ing?
There is quite a few mining men
in the hills at present, as the wea
ther is beautiful and very little
snow has lallen so far this season.
It, is now evident that at least two
or three companies will commence
work in the spring.
Let the pessimist predict, but the
North Star Mining and Milling
company is quite prepared for the
man from Missouri,
James Goodwin.
Growth of Ida.ho for 1905.
Indicative of the growth of Ida
ho during the past year, says a
Salt Lake dispatch, the passenger
department of the Oregon Short
Line announces that since January
1, 1905, it has brought to Idaho
8764 bona tide settlers. These fig
ures are divided into two classes
and show 1586 colonists from Ore
gon, Washington and British Col
umbia, and 7178 from all points
Allowing three people con
east.
stituting the family of each settle-,
this would indicate that the popu
lation of Idaho will be increased
26,292 this year when all the fami
lies of the advance gu rd arrive.
These totals show up well when
it is announced that of the settlers
coming to Utah during the same
period the Short Line has only
hauled the meagre tolal of 59.
The total number of passengers
handled by the system during the
period has been 56,523 west
same
bound and 38,554 eastbound.
During the year 1905 the Short
Line has constructed in Utah and
Idaho 135.80 miles of new track
which in detail is as follows:

Boise brauch extension.
Malad Valley (Garland to Malad,
City).

Yellowstone Park .

Lewiston.

Ijogau to Wellsville,Utah.
In order to take care of the grow
ing demands on the motive power
department the Oregon Short Line
has just placed an order for lOcon
solidated freight engines, 10 Pacific

type passenger engines, four Bwitch
engines, five passenges coaches, two
baggage cars and 300 steel coal
cars. This order will have the
effect of relieving any similar car
and locomotive famine to that
which has been in evidence.
At this particular time of year
the average girl doesn't object to
having people think her feet are
big as hams and that her stockings
will hold an upright piano or a ton
of coal. It is wonderful what a
little Chrifitmas cheer will do.
A hungry looking man hurried
into a restaurant the oilier day,
and, climbing upon one of the
stools at the lunch counter, reached
for one of the well-worn and much
thumbed bills of fare. He read it
all through two or three times,
called a waiter and gave his order:
"I guess I'll begin with a ccuple of
plate* of fly specks." "Fly specks!"
exclamed the astonished waiter.
"Why, we don't serve # fly specks."
"Well, then why don't you take
them off the bill of fare?"
waiter's reply is not recorded.
