NcMuln is pre-eminent ly a intniiif ;

being in the Great Uaiin , the greater

plateau , and tins , ribbed by numer
ous nearly nniallel chains of moun
tains , is divided into valleys of great
dotation and length. Owintr t" the
general absence of wntei fm irntfi-
tion , thu dryness of its cliiimlf , the
nakedness of the mountains , and the
extensive salt and alkali plains , the
L'rcatur i > rt of the state is iitrcliunu
bly barren ; and onlj along the scanty
stieams is agriculture cained on with
any degree of success. 'J'ako way
the iniiiei fiom ls'o\ncl.i , and from
Utah to Cabfoiuii there would re
main a wide and desolate region , lr.iv-
eised by the Central Pacific tnilro.id ,
but witn few other traces of civiliza

.Mormon settlers , c.ittle dealeis and
Indians.
Till1. STATK ( lOM'.U.VMK.Vl
The population at iircsciit is about
02,000. Dining the last ton ye.ua it
has not varied much fiotn 50,000.
AlthoiiKh scattered over nil nre.i of
lO.'i ,125 sinmto miles , the entire num
ber of inhabitants ii > scarcely greater
than that of an obscure 'city in the
castor Euiopo , and the ptcflcntau-
licultutal and mining outlook hardly
betokens any material increase in the
near future. The picsent constitution
of the state was adopted seventeen
years ago , and the number of olliccrs
as compared with the population is
somewhat astonishing. The governor
is elected for a toim of foui years ,
and receives a salary of 80,000 pur
minimi. and is also allowed a secretary
at a salary of § L',100 per anuuin. The
lieutenant governor receives annually
a salary of ? UiOO , ( , and during the
session of the Senate receives $10 per
day as the ox-nfllcio president of that
honorable body. In addition , the
state chooses u > ery four yours a sec-
lotary of state , treasurer , contiollcr ,
surveyor general and attoincy gener
al , each with an annual salary of
$3,0000 , and a superintendent of
public instruction with a salary of
82,500. The first four named ollicer.s
have also deputies , each with a
salary of $3,000. The legislative de
partment consists of twenty-live sena
tors and fifty assemblymen , the pay
of each being ' $10 per day , and mile
age , during the biennial sessions ,
and with n score of clinks and other
officials in addition. The judiciaiy
consists of a supreme court , district
courts and justices courts ; and thu
officers of the Fust consist of a chief
and two associates , each with a salary
of $7,000 , the tot m of oflico continu
ing six years. There are no less than
nine judicial districts , the salaries of
the judges varying from $3,000 to $7-
000 per. annum , and they , like the
state oflicors , being elected by the di
rect vote of the peoplo. The state
sends one solitary congicsHiuan to
Washington , yet boasts of as many
United States senators as Pennsyl
vania or Now York ; and added to all
this are fourteen county governments.
each with its full complement of of
ficers , and suppoited by a direct tax
upon the products of the people.
Verily , the 62,000 good people of
Nevada may not only pray the good
Lord to deliver them fiom outside
barbarians , but also from the small
of and ofllco-hold-
army tax-gatherers - -
era within their own bordeis.
KCCICS8IVK TAXATION .
The revenue of Nevada is obtained
from a poll-tax , u propeity ,
tax , and a tux on the proceeds of the
mines , The entile assessed value of
the real estate last year was only 8ii7-
508,058 , upon which autato and coun
ty tar was levied amounting to S728-
0 ! > 2 , or about $1 for eveiy $10 of tux-
able property. The expenses of the
government in 3870 were $2,270,050 ,
or more than $25 for every man , wo
man , and child then in the state ; and
this year according to the report of
the Controller , the rate cannot bo less
than $1.18 on the $100 valuation. It
is not to be wondeied ( hat an outcry
against oflicml oxtravageiico is being
every heard from the Wnhsatch range
to the Sierra , and a poposition to re
turn to Tin n tonal form of govern
ment is being seriously discussed.
Although the busi'icss of stock-
raising has increased largely during
thu past live years , and thousands of
cattle are now annually shipped to
San Francisco , yet mining still con
tinues to bo the most important indus
try of the state , and from this notucu
the muin wealth of the people is de
rived. Scarcely more than a score of
years have elapsed since the entire re
gion was inhabited only by the In
dians and a few Mormon sottlois in
Canon valley , yet during this time
over $350,000,000 in gold lias been
produced by thu Nevada mines , more
than tvvo-thirds of which has been
produced during the last decade. In
1877 the most productive year yet
known , the bullion shipments
amounted to $51,308,017 ; while dm-
ing the seven years proceeding 1880
the consolidated Virginia and Cali
fornia linca ttlont' produced no less
than 1,280,150 tons of ore , valued at
$109,000,501. of which $50,702,478
was gold and $58,374,083 was silver.
In epito of such enormous yields in
former yours , the big bonau/a mines
can now be purchased entire in the
San Francisco boards for $1,800,000 ,
and the value os all the mines on the
Comstock on the 1st of May was only
$14,030,050 , as against $13,378,600
on the 1st of May , 1880 , $12.000,700
in 1870 , $30,201,000 ill 1878 , $38-
334,300 iu 1777 , $371,050,200 , in
18"5 , when the excitement was nt its
height ; and $4,600,700 in 1870 just
before the Crown Point bonan/.a was
discovered
THE MIMNO OUTLOOK.
In proportion to the population no
other community has over furnished a
product BO large in value in BO short u
time. Successive bonanzas in Choi-
lar. Jacket , Norcrvsa , Crown Point ,
Belcher , Consolidated Virginia , ' and
the tivili/ed world ; and in n score of
years such an advance has been made
in mining that science finds itself al-
moat powerless to suggest further im
provements. Twenty years have
changed n wild nnd desolate region
into n state in the Amcnuui union ;
the pinspocting hole of the pioneer is
now a mignificcnt three or four com
partment shaft , 2,500 to H.OOO feet in
depth ; the miner s pick is supplanted
bj powerful drills and giant powder ;
the bailing-bucket is transformed into
the gigantic pump ; the windlass has
given way to the engine in hoisting ;
the old fashioned nrastra has passed
into the huge tiuartx-mill ; and the
pilaco of the millionaire now stands
on the siKit once occupied by the
miners cabin
The Nevada mines have erected the
finest buildings in Kan Francisco.
They have made millionaires of
Mackay , Flood , Fair , O'llrion , Mills ,
Kcono , Sutro , Ilalston , Sharon , and
thousands of other men have made a
comfortable competence. While this
is true of the past , jet at no time
have the the mining industries lan
guished more than now , and no prom
inent developments in the fuluie ate
likelj to bo made "It would be use
lens to disguise the fact , " sajt the
uiratoi of the state museum in his late
report , ' 'that ronfidom.o in the Com
stock lode , horetofoio considered the
backbone of mining in Nevada , has
gieatly diminished. Attention is be-
nit ; turned theiefrom to other mineral
veins , almost oveiywhcto in thu state ,
and there ate those who think that ,
oven if the Comstock should fail ,
Nevada'will still bo , for an indefinite )
petiod , conspicuous for her great
wealth of resoutces in thu picuious
metals. "
SOOI.U , I'll t 1,1 VltlTII.s.
Mining being the great industry ,
the people hole can scaicely _ bo ex
pected to conform to thu social rulcn
of the older rftates. In Virginia , Eu
reka , and other of the largest towns ,
gambling and other evil pi.ici.ices are
earned on in broad daylight , and a
public outcry against such proceed
ings is seldom made. Thou * are many
good and true people in thr unions
towns and mining camps of the Sagebrush -
brush state men and women who
have left homes of luxury in the east ,
and who are hue as steel to them
selves and their God , but society in
geneial is crude and disorganized ;
skepticism is popular at the expense
of religion and morals , and saloons
and bawdy-bonnes are more hugely
patrnm/cd than reading-looms an < l
churches. Everybody deals in stocks ,
from the mining milliomiiio to the
bootblack or common laboier on the
street ; and the fashionable young
lady can converse as intelligently
about thu lower levels of thu
Comstock mines as abouc thu
charactoi of the toilets worn at
the last public ball , or the fearful re
sponsibility resting upon bachelors
who do not marry. If stocks be up ,
then business is lively in Caison ,
Keno , and other towns ; stores are
pationi/od , saloons are filled with
customers , and n general time of re-
idicing on every hand is apparent.
Silt , if the market be depressed , then
trade is dead , luxuries are counter
manded , old clothes nre worn , clerks
and barkeepers aiu idle behind their
counters , lamentations against fatu
are heard , and fiom White Pine to
Wnshou gloom and despondency ev 01 y-
whcre prevail. Thu state IB then
stooped in mouinint ; , and nothing but
the opening of a new bonan/a will
bring about again a lively state of
atlairs.
TIIKTUAN.SPoHTATKiN MONOl'OM .
"When thu Honan/a kingaiuul the
Ceutral Pacific inilway oflicialtf in Ne
vada join hands in the pin suit of nny
particular object , then the devil takes
the cake , " said a Sagebrush statesman
not long since to a friend ; and the
statement , though crude , is true in its
way. The influence of bonanza gold
in buying upthu legislature , and
theieby legulating thu tax on thu pio-
coeds of the mines , has nioiu than
once been acknowledged ; and none
the less powerful is that oilier mon
ster monopoly which leguhites the
cauying ti.tde of the outiio Pacific
coast , and which leaves no means tin-
hied to gain a desired end. Nevada
is even mote cuised than California
by an unjust system of transportation.
In the matter of ft eights and fares ,
extortionate rules aio charged be
tween the various points within the
state ; and to points without thu state
rates are i emulated more in refoionco
to the amount the people w ill bear
than accotding to just and upright
transportation rules. llocognumg
the truth of thu old adage , "A penny
saved is a penny earned , " the people
within the state can often make more
than they can earn by walking when
circumstances compel them to travel
friim , one point to another ; ami the
old "pack mulo" and "go cart" meth
ods of transportation are oven now-
used to advantage on loads miming
side by side with the railroad.
It is a well known fact that goods
shipped from thu pant to Nevada are
churgod through full rates to San
Francisco , and thoi\ \ excessive local
rates back ; and this in spite of the
fact that the goods are not carried
beyond the Sierra A car load of coal
oil and candles for example , from
Now York to Elko , ia charged $300
through raUi to San Francisco , and
$500 local rate back to Elko being n
charge for 1,230 miles over which the
coal-oil and candles do not travel. A
wr load of machinery from Now York
to Puno coats $218 more than the
same to San Francisco ; while to Win-
nemucca a car load of clothing" coats
$500 moio than to California , u great
er distance of several bundled miles.
A car load of dry-goods in boxes in
charged from New York to Wiiinu-
mucca the unoiinous mini of $1,010 ; if
it go a conaideaablo distance further ;
to Hone , the chiugo in reduced to $1.-
430 ; and if it cross the Sierra , and is
landed at San Francisco the entire
clmrgo is only $1,200. This same ex-
toitionia net confined to the clus of
goods mentioned above , but extends
to eveiy kind of merchandise capable
of transposition ; and the losult is ,
thu ppoplo of Nevada aio oppressed
by a system of robbery w hich would
not be tolerated in un eastern state.
Nor is this all. If the Nevada mer
chant wishes to uond goods to Utah or
the cast , heia charged n higher rate
than w ould be charged for thu same
goods fi oni California ; and this notwithstanding
'
withstanding tha't thu Sierra Ho be
tween.

planks in their platforms favoring the
regulation of freights and fares ; and
have declared unequivocally that all
discriminations and excessive charges
by rnihoadtorporalionsshould be pio-
lubited by appropriate legislation
Legislatuio after legislature has been
pledged to carry out the wishes of the
people ; but , under the influence of
Central Pacific gold , these pledges
have ever disappeared , like thistle
down before the wind or snow in the
sunlight. A powerful railroad lobby ,
headed by Stove Cage , is over nt Car
son during the biennial session ; and
every suspicious bill is carefully scru-
United and i ejected.
To confuse the legislators is always
the plan of the raihoad-lobby. "We
are protected in our rights now , ' they
argue ; "lot us stave oil legislation ,
and all will be well " They introduce
numerous bills , and then confuse men
who desire to do right. They are
( puck , wiry , and strategic They are
not fiank , open , and manly. Success
is their high priest ami god. They
take the law.makers aside , jingle gold
in their pockets , whisper woids of
sophistry in their ears , and tell them
thai nny bill fiom the people willwoik
gieal injustice to the rouls Thu
question of fieights and fares , they
say , is a very intiicale one at best ,
and such questions only gieat minds
like their own cm comprehend. Ask
them a few pertinent questions about
thutiansportation tax from California ;
thaige the corporation which they
lepresent with blackmail , with delib
erate extortions , with coiispnacius to
corrupt the ropn-Hontativos of the
people , with diHUimmations , and the
other evils of the tailroad calender ,
and immediately you arc confronted
with such a mass of subtle logic that
you can do little else than listen and
applaud.
Pel haps some day in Nevada n leg
islature will convene , u majority of
whoso members will not consider it
the square thing to vote each of the
Central Pacific directors a gold modal ;
perhaps men will not then foiget
their manhood , and w ill remcber that
God helps those who help themselves ,
perhaps the ills of the people will
then have n patient hearing , and laws
will bo enacted foi their relief ; but ,
until such a legislature convenes , bu
siness will bo paraly/ed , cruel extor
tions and discriminations will be
practiced , mid thu railroad monopoly
will continue a policy which will rob
every poor minor in the state , which
will destroy industry and which will
promote wholesale poverty and dis
tress.
