No portion of Nevada today offers
| better Inducements to the proSpector
/ that the country between Fav and
Acoma on the line Of the San Pedro

through the country numerous craters
exist. There. are great assures and
what little prospecting has been done,
and it has been very little. has been
proven that many of the different met
ais exist There are good copper lodges
northeast of Panaca and float has been
found that has asSayed as high as 240
ounces in silver. 81 in gold and ~ per
cent lead A recent find at AcOma
gives values in gold of $50. This coun-
try can be reached from Modena on
the north and AcOma on the south.
on account Of the volcanic origin of
the country and the existence of nu-
merous cTaters the prOspectOTs who are
operating there have named the Couu-
try the Crater district and fully expect
that Crater district viii at no distant
date be the scene of great activity
