AS there was no stock board open

The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-12-26

Elsewhere in this issue appears an
editorial taken from the Iron Trade
Review of Cleveland, Ohio, referring to
the almost unlimited extent of the
Mesabi Range iron deposits in the
Lake Superior region. With four hun
dred million tons of ore actually ex-
posed, the imagination can scarcely
reach the end. If we assume the ore
to contain so per cent. of iron upon an
average, which is probably not an ex-
traVagant estimate, there is an aggre-
gate of two hundred million tons of
iron in sight on that range alone. That
is, roughly speaking. fifteen times as
much as the pig iron iron produc-
ton of the entire country for the year
1899. And this Is only one of the sew
eral great ranges of the lake region.
The Mesabi range is in the state of
Minnesota, as is also the Vermilion
range, while the Marquette range is in
the northern peninsula of Michigan,
and the Gogebic range is partly in
Michigan and partly in Wisconsin. The
Horace V. Winchell quoted from by the
Iron Trade Review is now the geologist
of the Anaconda Mining company.

Nevada.

The state of Nevada labors under
may prevent her from ever euualing
the other mining states in growth and
development. She is notably lacking in
water, both for power and irrigation,
and thus far nothing has been discov-
cred to indicate that she has either
coal or iron in quantities sufficient to
make them material factors in build
ing up the state.
There is vast amount of land that
would be in the highest degree produc-
tive We're it not for the scarcity of
water. But the rainfall is exceedingly
scant and the lands will not generally
produce without irrigation. For this
wholly inadequate. OF course it can
be husbanded and made to go much
further than it does now. few years
ago there was much talk in the state
about the constructing of reservoirs,
the saving of water that now runs to
vast, and the retaining of wide areas
Of what is, at present, desert land.
This talk, however, was mainly for po-
liticaI purposes, and very little came OF
i.
In addition to this, Nevada labors I'M
der such disadvantages in the matter
of railroad transportation, that there
is really very little object in going to
heavy expense for the reclamation Of
desert lands upon a large scale. There
is no market that can be reached with
the product save at a cost for transport
tation that would leave very little
profit, if any.
For the development of her agricul-
tural resources even upon a moderate
scale, Nevada needs, primarily, a bet
ter home market. This can only come
from the expanding of her mining in
dustry. Even on this line, if we are
to judge by present indications, she
cannot reasonably hope ever to take
rank with Utah, Colorado and Montana.
1t is possible, but scarcely probable.
Another ComstOck may be found, but
such deposits are rare and the chances
are decidedly against it.
Still, the people of Nevada have no
reason to feel discouraged. There is
certainly an opportunity for the state
to grow away beyond its present pro-
portions in both wealth and population.
There are many districts in which there
are very large bodies of comparatively
low grade ores, and doubtless rich de-
posts will yet be found. There is still
hope for moderate output from the
Comstock, while with the new and
economizing methods of operating that
are now in vogue, the Eureka, Tusca-
rora and Phoebe districts are far from
being exhausted.
Indeed, the outlook for Southeastern
Nevada is at the present time decid-
eddy bright II is a demonstrated fact
that all through the Phoebe, De Lamar
and State Line region there are large
deposits of good ore. What is needed
now more than anything else in that
section is more general and direct rail-
road communication with the outside
world, Via Salt Lake. The necessary
