i late number Of The Ney0Gg Journal says
We design, in a short time, to give an estimate
Of the average yield of quartz 50 FAR n worked, IN
THIS section and the degree OF richness necessary,
per lun, for safe investment. The common opinion
upon this subject especially At a distance from
quartz operations is much 1T fault We have seen
statements III the papers below, that quartz paying
ret more than i've or eight cents pound, under the
best system. would not pay to work. We think we
can show this is al error, and that quartz averaging
even as low one cent per pound VIII yield hand
somely, with proper work.
The same journal furnishes the following list OF
mills IN operation, or IN process OF erection, IN
the neighbOlhOod OF Nevada
