An average of 120 tuns per day re-

Notwithstanding the favorable exhibit
the foregoing facts and estimates make
for White Pine District, there are other
and broader elements entering into the
calculation to make up the sum total of
business, and bullion product that would
be tributary to our projected road Of l20
miles in length This short road would
furnish supplies to and draw metallic
wealth from great plateau of country
200 miles in length, north and south, by
l50 miles wide, an area of 1900 square
miles, and comprising one of the most
important, if not the richest mining
countries in the world.
Your committee can not give an ex-
tended notice OF the outside districts in
detail, but they have collected such gem
4 4 l. .,f
upon the question Of profitable employ
ment for a railroad to this place.
The range of districts lying west of the
White Pine meridian that will give
business to the road are: Diamond, Eu-
reka, Newark. Pinto, Sierra, Spring VAL
ley, Moray, Hot Creek, Reveillo Erie
burg. Trey, Grant. Seymour and lem
piute-l4 districts that would receive all
their supplies, and send out all their
products over this road. Eureka Dis
trict alone is capable of supplying as
much base ore and bullion for shipment
as that estimated for White Pine.
All the districts named in the Western
Division contain good ores, both free and
base, but by far the most abundant, and
valuable is the base or smelling ores.
Eureka District has over 500 claims
showing good ore. Some of them have
been explored to depths varying from %
to 150 feet, disclosing bodies of ore of
great extent The base ores of the Eu-
reka range, up to the present time show
more value per tun than the mines here.
Eureka. into, Diamond Sierra, and
Spring Valley Districts-all within
compass of 25 miles-are rich in base
ores, and can easily furnish ] 200 tuns of
smelling ore per day, 200 tuns of high
grade ore for shipment, and 600 tuns,
that would turn out $50 TINS of bullion
per day. The other districts lying south
of those named, would add enough to
the above estimate to make it hold fully
up to the figures given.

Total daily product, for shipment......... $50
The value of shipping ores from Eu-
reka Division may be safely estimated at
$50 per tun, and the bullion at 5000.
This would give yield of $50, 900 per
day, and would amount to 81, 2,O00,0O0
per annum as the gross values in the
Eastern markets. In this estimate is in
cluded fourteen districts, all known to
contain workable ores; and the majority
of them showing large quantities of high
grade ores with only slight explorations.
The Eastern Division of mining dis
tiicts extending from Egan at the north
to Pahranagat at the extreme south, in
cludes Egan, San Francisco, Robinson,
Cooper, Nevada, Cave, McDougall, Sho-
shone, Piermont, Silver Park, Sacra-
mento, Lincoln, Lexington, Patterson,
Ely, and Pahranagat--sixteen districts,
extending over an area of 100 miles
north and south, by GO miles in width
from east TO west, or 5000 square miles.
In this list Of districts there are none
that equal White Pine and Eureka in the
abundance of base or smelling ores.
Gave, Patterson, Robinson, Nevada,
| and Shoshone, are represented to have
large quantities of base ores, the other
districts have more free ores. The total
product of the Eastern Division is esti-
mated to be as follows:
