The state Of sunshine, sagebrush
and the Joshua man; the state with
lOLg trackless deserts where water
Is scarce, and where the weary
prospector has hard time to exist.
And still its low rolling hills have
scarcely felt the prospector's pick
and yet nearly every day we hear OF
new strike made north or south of
Tonopah. The worlds great mining
region. This state has made million
aires out OF scores Of poor prosp
tors, who had left their adobe
cabins and today are living in palaces.
Nevada astonishes the world with
the Comstock, Tonopah aud Goldfeld.
Out OF its mines, millions OF money
have been taken. Now while il is
true that Virginia, Tonopah, Gold
field and Bullfrog have wonderful
paying mines, yet there are numerous
other places in this section waiting
for the mines to reveal their wonder
iul resources, And while there are
many write-ups on the other camps,
the few men who are here in Liberty
will soon herald TO the world the
chances 1T has OF becoming great
producer,
1t has been my pleasure TO 20
through the Liberty mine and see
the wonderful shoots OF ore opened in
its levels and Slopes, The Liberty
is 800 feet deep, with levels driven
every sixty feet and every level in
ore. Arrangements have been made
to install mill on this mine, and
when this is completed, the Liberty
mine will be to Liberty what the
Mzpah is to Tonopah.
The Utica group adjoins the
Liberty and is owned by Salt Lake
City people. There are quantities OF
ore opened in this property which
will run from sixty to one hundred
dollars TO the ton. To the east OF
the Utica is the Cedric, owned by
Cap. Wearing and Prof. Wynkoop.
The Cedric vein can be traced for
over a mile, and in every shaft which
has been sunk on this vein, values
from one to two hundred dollars have
been obtained To the north OF the
Utica and adjoining the Cedric, the
GoIdheld Liberty Gold Mines Co of
Denver, has twenty acres and the
Goldfield Independence Gold Mines
60, OF Denver, has also twenty acres.
The veins going through this ground
are the Utica, Portland, Silver King,
Cedric, O'Hara, Whisper and St.
Patrick. On the Whisper claim,
parties represented by ths Gold
Bond Investment Company Of Den
YER, have started cross.cut tunnel

land lodes. And on the Silver King,
parties representing the Modern In
yestment and Securities Company
are prospecting the ground where
the Cedric crosses the Silver King
yeis.
A tunnel is also being driven ON
the vein, and good results are looked
for at an early date. To the west
adjoining the Utica, is the Callington
group which is owned by Capt
Wearing and C. F. Maunder. On
The Callington, two-foot vein has
been uncovered right at grass roots,
which will run without sorting $75. 90
per ton; plainly showing that these
gentlemen are on the road to
wealth, and they well deserve it for
they have stayed with this camp
with grim determination, and it is
hoped that they may soon reap their
reward.
Now, there are numerous other
claims ! could mention that have
good showings in them but enough is
said to convince the most skeptical
mat Liberty has the ore that makes
mining camps, and will soon demon
Strate to the mining world, that out
OF its great veins, millions OF money
Will go TO the individuals who have
mad the determination to bring TO
night its wonderful resources.
Liberty has plenty of water and
within six miles there are mountains
OF timber. Liberty is located about
nlteen miles from the Tonopah and
SodayiIle railroad. A townsite has
already been surveyed.
In conclusion ! would say TO the
miner, ] known of no better place to
merltoriously mine in Southern Ne.
Vada than Liberty.
