The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1901-12-19
A GREAT BENE-
FIT TONEVADA

While the great Pan-American show
at Buffalo was not the financi ! success
from the standpoint Of the stockholders
that it was hoped, it was the direct
means of beneftting the city itself to the
extent OF about S50,0000O0 and the na-
lion more than can be estimated at the
present time Nevadas reward for her
exhibition of wonderful mineral speci-
mems will be larger, far larger, in pro-
portion to the amount expended than to
any other section Of the entire country.
Commissioner James A. Yerington, who
so ably represented Nevada at the big
fair, states that Nevada attracted far
more attention than any member of the
Commission dared anticipate, and as a
result of her exhibit of minerals, received
more free advertisement than at any
pervious exposition, says the Carson
News.
Having received the only gold medal
Nevada is recognized as the leading min
eral territory of the hemisphere. The
gold medal alone is worth ten times the
amount of money expended in arranging
the display The exhibit astounded the
leading geologists and chemists in regard
to its variety, quality and quantity. Some
of the most prominent individual exhib-
its were given highest rewards over all
competitors, among them being the Pa
cific Borax Company, the Inyo Develop
ment Company of Carson City, the sui
phur from Humboldt county, the silicas
of Esmeralda and the wire and leaf gold
and free gold from various parts of the
State.
In addition to the regular display,
wonderful ores from Tonopah, Southern
Klondike, Bristol, State Line, the Chain
man and Mckinley mines at Ely, White
Pine county, and some 200 samples of
copper ores from various parts Of the
State we're classified under "New Dis
coveries," and the impression became
general that a State that could show
such new discoveries while the exposition
was running was certainly the greatest
on earth.
With the exception of fourteen Gases
loaned by individuals, the thousands of
specimens were freely distributed to
universities ard large chemical COM
panies, who use nearly every product of
Nevada in great quantity, all of which
showed on analysis to be of high stand
ard of purity, and the time will be short
until Nevada will see these numerous
deposits in the hands of eastern manu-
facturers.
Mr.. Yerington was honored with an
election to the presidency of the Execu-
tive Commissioners Association, in which
sixty-four States and countries of North
and South America were represented at
the weekly meetings, as result of which
the Chilian government sent its repre-
sentatives on visit to the various min
ing States, and on their return said Ne
vada had the brightest future of any of
the States.
Mr.. Yerington was also elected a men,
ber Of the Board Of Directors of the
Buffalo & Niagria Investment Company,
with offices at Carson City, the object be-
ing to place before the central organiza-
ton all new discoveries that offer oppor-
tunity for the investment of capital in
Nevada, in whatever lines. The import
ance given to Nevada in the estimation
of this big concern may be judged from
the fact that the only branch office in
the West will be in this city. Even San
Francisco is given the go-by.
The Mckinley mining company and
the Consolidated Esmeralda Mining
Company, each with capital of 81 900
000 were organized in the Nevada FEC
ton A company of eastern people has
been organized to handle the sulphur de-
posit of Humboldt and another to handle
copper and gold properties in various
parts of the State.
To Commissioner Yerington's man.
agement the great benefits are due, as he
was the right man for the place.
