The daily silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1903-1907, 1905-02-03
NEVADA IS THE
PROMISED LAND
Gold Seekers Pouring in From all
Directions-State will Soon
Lead in Gold Production

Every day a hundred or more gold seek
ers pass through this city on the way to
Goldfield and mineral discoveries that
have been discovered In the past few
months. says the Carson Appeal. The
hundreds that have gone out have sent
the word forth that the new Nevada
camp is a wonder and the news has gone
from one end of the world to the other
and the rush is on.
A trip to San Francisco is the convint
ing proof of the statement. In every
hotel lobby. in every bar room, in every
restaurant and In fact in every point
where men can congregate there is -.
hum of news that Nevada and her wealth
offers the fortune hunters a new field
Both specimens are shown and in fact
1T does not take the mineral evidence to
set the people talking.
1t is only a portion of the rush that
is witnessed in this city. Hundreds oi
people are going to and from the South.
ern section. Los Angeles is as much agos
as is San Francisco and on the other
side down to San Pedro there is as strong
a rushing in. Even across the borax
marshes there is string following the
trail to the land of promise.
One of the peculiar conditions Ia that
the boomers who rushed to the Klondiks
are now making ior Southern Nevada
and the new discoveries. Yesterday sew
eral men who have made fortunes in the
frozen north passed through on their way
to barren Nevada, where they will take
a hand in the development Colorado.
Montana and all of the western States
are taking a hand in the game, with the
result that the most experienced line of
prospectors that have ever trod the State
are now inside of the borders and will
rip up the mother earth from its extremes
to the Colorado river
All kinds of predictions are being made
tion. All agree that before the year has
passea Nevada will lead in the production
of precious metals. Every section tha
has produced metal is being ransacked
for new discoveries, and the result is that
camps that were supposed to be dead ones
are being revived and placed on the map
again.
In regard to the future population OF
Southern Nevada there is a possibility of
1t exceeding anything that has ever taken
place In the history of the State. Some
who seem to be in position to judge
the conditions state that 5000 people will
be located in the desert regions before the
summer has passed. This estimate is
conservative when the facts of the con
ditions are looked over. as every State is
now taking an interest and the ventur-
some and energetic are heading for the
new finds The conditions that rendered
the inhabitation of the desert impossible
have. in a measure been overcome, from
the fact that railroads have rendered it
possible to secure provisions and the
necessities of life. Water is being de-
veloped as the mines extend into the bar
rem regions. AS much attention is pa,
TO this as TO the mines. with the result
that where 1t was believed to be an i'm
possibility. water is found any man then
penetrates to the other unknown section.
1t is safely stated that thousands of
miles in Nevada have never been trod
over by white men, but this will not be
& safe statement INSIDE OF a year. Men
of experience are now headed for the
barren land and many OF them are backed
by cash which viii develop any section
In the world. no matter what the condi-
tions
When the situation is looked over 1t as
no wonder that the world has turned her
financial eye toward Nevada and th
greatest wonder is that any of the sound
and safe people are keeping outside of
rush that is with them.
