THE COMSTOCK 
 
 '^HIS year the Comstock will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. 
 What does this mean? It means a celebration, a thanks- 
 giving that w^ill pay tribute to the best blood and sinew of the 
 land; to the heroes who toiled over weary miles of desert and 
 plain in search of treasure; to heroes who are now grown feeble 
 with the passing years; to the heroes who have passed to the 
 Great Beyond, It means a celebration that will recall a vast ser- 
 ies of events — the unearthing of millions of dollars of silver and 
 gold, the restoration of the nation's credit in her darkest hour — 
 the building of palaces, ocean cables, and telegraph lines that span

THE COMSTOCK— Continued 
 
 a continent. It means tribute to feats in mining unsurpassed, to 
 victories gained in the face of seeming defeat, to orators, statesmen, 
 writers, scientists, actors. It means that for the last time the fast 
 fading band of white haired pioneers will sip again from friend- 
 ship's loving cup which was laid down so many years ago and 
 which for the last time will be raised in reverence as silent as in 
 other days it was joyous and gay. 
 
 No other mining camp in the wide world had a Mackay, 
 a Fair, a Flood and an O'Brien. Here once was the home of 
 Mark Twain, of Dan DeQuill, of Goodwin, of Dagget and num- 
 erous others who would have shed lustre only for the greater con-

THE COMSTOCK--Continued 
 
 stellations. Here was nurtured the brilliant Michaelson family, 
 one a winner of the Nobel prize for his discovery on the speed of 
 light, and one for her success as an author. Here was developed 
 the romantic but unfortunate career of Sandy Bowers and his 
 wife. 
 
 The streets of the Comstock are paved with ore that gives 
 good values. Truly they are paved with gold and silver. With 
 the same shovels, in past years, fortunes were gathered together 
 and thrown away. The old Comstockers took only the best and 
 all else was thrown away to bleach and whiten on the dumps. 
 For this reason alone the prosperity of the old lode is assured for

 long years to come even if another ton of ore be never taken from 
 the mines. 
 
 But the history of silver mining throughout the world refutes 
 any such supposition. For silver mines in Mexico, Spain, Belgium, 
 Germany and many other places that have been w^orking for cen- 
 turies are still producing the precious metal. No single instance 
 does history tell of a silver lead petering out. 
 
 So the Comstock Golden Jubilee, while paying tribute to 
 past glory and past achievement, will be also the commencement 
 of a new era of prosperity that may even surpass the glory of other 
 days.

RENO 
 
 ^ENO, the chief commercial and educational city of Nevada, 
 lies in Washoe county, at the base of the Sierra Nevada 
 mountains, but a few miles from the Nevada-California line. It 
 is the largest city in the state and is surrounded by rich agricultural 
 lands, vast ranges, productive mineral territory and many thriving 
 towns of smaller size which contribute to its prosperity. Imme- 
 diately adjacent to its eastern limits is the city of Sparks, where 
 are located the intermountain shops of the Southern Pacific rail- 
 way, the greatest artery of commerce in Nevada. 
 
 At Reno is located the University of Nevada, supported by 
 the state and encouraged by large private gifts, its principal bene- 
 factor being Clarence Mackay, son of John W. Mackay of Com- 
 slock fame. The city is splendidly equipped with public and 
 private schools, a business college, and in addition to its predomi- 
 nance as a business center is the educational seat of the state. 
 
 During the past six or seven years it has almost quadrupled 
 
 its population. City improvements have kept pace with its growth 
 
 md all of its business streets have been paved, the city completely 
 
 ^'wered and scores of fine business buildings have displaced the 
 
 tructurer of earlier days. 
 
 From the Truckee river, rising in the Sierra Nevadas, comes 
 unlimited electrical energy for light and power. The same stream 
 supplies the vast agricultural area of the Truckee Meadows, in 
 which Reno is situated, with water for irrigation purposes, its sur- 
 plus waters being diverted far below the city into the Carson sink 
 where they are reclaiming an empire of land I hat is being alloted 
 to settlers by the United States government. 
 
 West of Reno are located immense timber tracts from which 
 Nevada and much of California derive their supply of lumber. In

 every direction there are great ranges for sheep and cattle, rich 
 mining districts, salt deposits and agricultural lands. 
 
 Taking advantage of its splendid railroad facilities and its 
 geographical location the merchants, manufacturers and financial 
 interests have pursued the most progressive methods. Large de- 
 {lartment stores with complete slocks, machine shops, packing 
 houses, stock yards, wholesale houses, lumber yards, modem ho- 
 tels, interurban and street railways and all the other requisites of a 
 wholesale center have been established. 
 
 The climate of Reno is mild, the summers not excessively 
 hot and the winters short. Continual breezes blowing from the 
 mountains temper the heat of summer. 
 
 Reno has thoroughly equipped schools, many churches, clubs, 
 pleasure resorts, technical training schools, and unlimited opportun- 
 ities for health, comfort and investment.
