T
RESURRECTION OF OUR STATE.


Under the heading THE Resurrection
of the State of Nevada" the Chicago
Mining World, one of the leading mining
journals of the east, says:
The mining revival in Nevada has
gained considerable Roadway, and the
old ''Sagebrush State" is seeing ~livelier
times than it has experienced since the
early day development of the Comstoc.
lode. Nevada was very hard hit by the
silver stump. 1t lapsed into virtual
bankruptcy. The discovery of gold at
Tonopah brought the State out of the
slough of despond, and the new discover
les of gold in Goldfield served to place
Nevada in the category of regions that
are enjoying prosperity. Tens of thou
sands of people have entered Nevada in
the past year to take part in the rehabil-
itation of Nevada's mining industry. This
movement has been supplemented by the
ing irrigable land and by the building
of railroads, and. as a consequence Me-
vada has 1ourished as she has not done
in a decade of years. The mines, how
ever, are the chief attractions and energy.
Nevada has a very extensive virgin ter
ritory and it is a very reasonable propo-
sition that this winter wal see a very
marked acceleration to the boom, the eli
matte conditions favoring surface work,
in the southern part of the State. Gold
field is on this line, and other camps are
springing up as new discoveries are be-
ing made. Nevada thus is supplying a
mining boom at a moment most prop
tious. fl asMl

not only in the far west, but hat which
has developed in eastern fields, like those
of Lake Superior, Joplin n Pennsylva-
mia coal regions. The Dig, new, thriving
camps are making a splendid home mar
ket for the produce of Nevada irrigation
farms, while the desert character of the
district creates a demand for material
and merchandise that must be brought
in from outside the State. AS a result
the railroads running into Nevada have
all the traffic they can possibly handle;
there is and has for several months past
been a congestion of freight, and a mat
ter of fact. the rolling stock is not suf-
ficient to keep the freight moving with
effect Of the boom is particularly evi-
denced in many partitions of California
Not alone is it drawing surplus mining
skill from the old camps of the Golden
State. but it has made an inroad on the
supply of labor in lar of the mining
counties and there is complaint from
many sources of the need of practical
miners. The big timber belts of Califor-
mia also experience exhilaration in the
sawmill business in the extraordinary
demand for lumber from Tonopah, Gold
field and other Nevada camps, while the
call for canned fruits and vegetables has
awakened new life in California rural
communities. Incidentally, the mines are
making an memorable call for mining ma
chinery. and all in all, the old Sage
brush State is proving itself a factor
n power for unusual good.
