add to cart   close window

Nevada to most Easterners suggests divorces, or gambling mining shares of doubtful value on the New York or Philadelphia stock exchanges. Some, more informed, have heard of big bonanza mines which produced nearly a billion dollars in silver after the Civil War. The live-stock industry, established as a monopoly in Nevada under very extraordinary conditions, is responsible for political, economic and social degeneration. It has prevented the development of small farms, of family life, of a stable agricultural population, and has produced instead an excessive proportion of migratory laborers and of homeless men, larger than any State in the Union.
