WADSW0RTH DISPATCH.
MARCH %. 1900
EQUALLY TRUE OF NEVADA

A writer in a Los Angeles paper says:
When the romance of mining in the
Southwest comes to be written, Of
the most interesting features will be
found in the marvellous Improvements
that have been made of late in mining
and reducing ore containing the pre-
ciols metals. Within the past twenty
years In most Of the mining camps Of
Arlzonia. New Mexico and Southern
California ore that would assay less
than $40 to the ton was not considered
worth saving and vas thrown on the
dump. Now at one mine in Southern
California they are mining and extract
ing the gold from ore at a cost Of less
than SIS d ton. and this. too, is refrac-
tory ore, which has TO be be worked by
the cyanide process. Moreover, at
several mining camps in Arizona they
are actually going ove failing that have
been through a cyanide plant. and work
ing them again two or wen three
times, making a small profit on the
operation. What this means to the
Southwest is apparent rel to those
who are not experienced miners. 1t
means that there millions OF tons Of
ore or taillngs already out Of the ground
which. at comparatively small expense,
can be turned into money, while thou
sands Of mineral veins hitherto con-
sidered Of too low grade to work, will
be developed and give employment to
an army Of miners and laborers. Evil
IDENTIFY we are on the eve OF a most
remarkable development in the mining
industry of this section, and many Of
our desert places If they do not ''blos-
som as a rose" will at least resound
with the noise Of the stamps and the
reverberation Of the blasts In the drifts
and tunnels.

Saeebrush.

When Thomas Edison visited Me-
vada years ago he remarked as he rode
over the sagebrush plains: "God never
put so much Of anything in one place
unless he intended it for the use Of
man. Some day someone will dis
cover qualities in this sagebrush which
will make 1t a valuable commercial
proposition
Hon. Thomas Wren has made a
good many experiments with sage
brush as a factor in tanning. He finds
that 1t contains the best and most pow
erful tannin in existence. He insists
that some day 1t will be used exclusive
ly in tanning the finer grades Of leath-
err.
Experiments have also been made
with 1t proving its great value as a
hair renovator. and II has medical pro-
perties which are invaluable In the
treatment OF colds and fevers. The
Indians insist that II cures all ailments
known to them. Some day sagebrush
will be sagebrush. and a few acres Of
1t will be worth considerable as a
money proposition Carson Appeal.
