REPORT.

HEADQUARTERS NEVADA NATIONAL GUARD,

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S OFFICE,

CARSON CITY, December 31, 1888.

To His Excellency,

HON. C. C. STEVENSON,

Governor and Commander-in-Chief:

Sir In compliance with the law, I have the honor to submit herewith the following report as Adjutant-General for the years 1887 and 1888, and a partial report for the years 1885 and 1886, my predecessor having failed to make a report for those years as required by law.

On January 1, 1887, when I succeeded to this office, the organized militia of the State comprised the following companies, viz: Companies A and B and Battery A, located in Storey county; Company Cin Washoe county, Company F in Ormsby county, and Company I in Lyon county, all of which constituted the First Brigade. Company B, located in Eureka county, and Company C, located in Lander county, constituted the Second Brigade.

During the Summer of 1887, Company B, located in Eureka county, and Company C, located in Lander county, were disbanded and their arms and equipments returned to the State Armory. April, 1887, Battery A, located in Storey county, also disbanded, and the 3-inch guns, two in number, with all the equipments, were also returned to me. Not having any suitable place for the storage of these pieces, in June, 1887, I had an inclosed shed, 16x44 feet in size and 10 feet in hight, board and batten, with shingle roof, erected for that purpose in rear of the State Printing Office at an expense of $210 50.
