IMMENSE MINERAL WEALTH OF NEVADA.
Nevada has produced within the last FIVE
years sixty million dollars Of silver and it is
estimated that the amount Of bullion that is
now being taken out reaches the enormous
sum of three tons Of solid silver per day
An extract from Harper's Magazine in June
from the pen Of J.. Ross Brown, in speaking
Of the mines upon Lander Hill, says that Of
the ore that is now being worked, the lowest
grade seldom falls short Of $3.50 to the ton,
while from $500 to $500 is a common yield,
and that the actual development of the mines
is a sufficient guarantee Of the richness, depth
and permanence of the lodges. He concludes
by saying, " after three months of hard ex-
