THE DAILY TERRITORIAL ENTERPRISE was founded in Virginia City in 1858, and consequently is one of the oldest newspapers published in the state. It is a six-column journal, twenty-three by thirty-two inches, and is devoted to the interests of the Republican party and to the dissemination of local news. It has been an important factor in molding public opinion in Nevada, and is now published by the firm of Blake & Craise.
Frank A. Blake, the senior member of the firm, is a native son of California, his birth having occurred in the Golden state on the 2d of May, 1865. He came to Nevada in 1874, when a lad of eight years, and went into the office of the Enterprise when a young man of sixteen years. He has filled every office in the business from that of printer's devil to that of editor, and is now acting in the latter capacity and at the same time is one of the lessees and publishers of the journal. Mr. Craise is a native of England, his birth occurring on the "merrie isle" in May, 1865. He came to Storey county, Nevada, in 1867, when about two years of age, and learned the printer's trade in Virginia City with the firm of Brown & Mahaney. He was connected with the Chronicle for a time, and later became compositor on the Enterprise, acting in that capacity from 1887 until 1891, when the paper was discontinued, but in 1892 it was reestablished, Mr. Craise becoming a partner with Mr. Blake in its publication. Both are practical and capable newspaper men, and are making a marked success of their enterprise. They take an active interest in everything pertaining to the welfare of the city, and through the columns of this journal they greatly aid in the promotion of many interests for the public good.
