Nevada, sixth in size--110,690 sq. miles—is at the same time the most sparsely populated state in the
Union. Roughly it has but one human inhabitant for each square mile of its area. Contrast Nevada with Rhode
Island, the smallest state-area 1,248 sq. miles and population of over 700,000-and it is apparent that each
Rhode Islander must content himself with but a scant acre of ground on which to disport himself while his Nevada
brother has 640 acres at his disposal.
Nevada has three popular names—"Battle-Born State," "Silver State," and "Sagebrush State," the last
being closest to the hearts of most old-timers. Nevada's birth as a state occurred on October 31, 1864, while
North and South were at war with each other and while the mines of Virginia City were pouring out their treasure
of silver and gold with reckless abandon, playing a decisive role in the federal finances of the day and the preser-
vation of the Union. Those same mines today are still producing importantly and are far from being exhausted.
As for Nevada's mineral resources in general, ask any prospector what he thinks and he will tell you
the surface
has hardly even been scratched.
Mining, ranching, cattle--these are among Nevada's chief pursuits. But first and foremost comes enjoy-
ment of life. When you enter the state you check your worries at the border. The latchstring of Nevada hos.
pitality always hangs out. You are accepted at face value, and no questions asked. Nevada places a premium on
individual freedom. Lawlessness, however, is summarily dealt with. Its people are as warm-hearted as its climate is
salubrious. Its beauty grows on one. NEVADA-WONDERFUL STATE!
