NEVADA, THE WONDER.
Tonopah Has Already Proven
Itself the Richest of All.

Itself the Ol All.
When n pauses to contemplate
the events that have occurred III the
precious metal mining industry OF
Nevada during the past two years
or more, one cannot help standing in
awe OF the apparently limitless pos
sibilities of the mineral producing
west. SAYS the Daily Mining Record.
The creator has so ordained the
secrets of the rocks that humanity
with Its restricted means of discover
ing them a only await their revela-
ton with patience, hope and courage.
No one knows and no one dares to
predict where each successive apoca-
liypse of wealth will appear to the
! knowledge OF men. When the Nevada
prospectors found their cue in the
desert. the world looked on in sur-
prise. But why? Perhaps it was
the mission of the desert to suppress
its story until an appointed time. II
IL had not been a desert, what a
change might have been made in the
history of Nevada.
History tells US that the far-famed
Comstock lode made Nevada a sover-
eign state Of the great American
republic. The silver and gold Of Vir-
ginia City, as well as Of the other
pioneer districts of that region,
brought in the population that made
Nevada eligible to have its star
placed ia the blue of the flag. His
tory tells US, also, that the decline IN
the price of silver and the working
out of some of the richest deposits O
the old time mines caused a reaction
that reduced the census figures 0
!. the state to such a point that politi
I clans wondered why Nevada was
state at all. Let the politicians lool
!, again, and they may gather wisdom
from the secrets OF the desert.
The Comstock lode is by no mean
a thing of the past, for modern met
allurgy and improved machinery hay
chosen TO retain it as an importan
e factor in the metal production Of tn
west. But two other giants hav
= arisen, and the world is Just begiI
; ming to have an understanding of tn
:. wonderful revival that has set 10
this famous old state. Within tU
e years Tonopah has assumed a con
l. manding position among mining me
< and investors, and IN less than a yes

that there is no ground for doubtiI
