The mineral belt of Nevada, of which the
great Comstock lode was but the outcrop
may be described the most richly mineral
lied zone of North America, far as yet
known The riches of Tonopah, of Goldfeld,
of Searchlight and of the Amargosa river
country, known as the Bufrog district
have established that beyond all possible
dispute; not in any other region of the world
has so much gold been taken out within so
short time and from such little develop
ment as has come from the districts named.
They all in and this great mineral
belt of Nevada. The Comstock lode was
essentially producer of silver; the gold in
its ores represented but small percentage
of their total values. The Tonopah ores are
also, primarily, silver ores but they carry
higher percentage of gold values than did, or
do the Comstock ores But in the Goldtield
ores and the Bullfrog ores the values are
practically all gold; the silver and copper In
them cut proportionately but a small figure.
So also at Searchlight The ores of the
Searchight district gold ores but the
district also possesses large deposits of cop
per ores which will soon be profitably
worked, but which have been allowed to re-
main undeveloped, due to the fact that min
ing for the gold ores was of more immediate
Importance than the development of the
districts copper ore bodies.
Searchlight is the pioneer gold camp of
Nevada. That is a fact worth noting his
torically. 1t is now some seven years since
gold discovered there; it in the
Searchlght mine after which the district
was named Searchlght is at almost the ex-
IRENE Soutnern end OF tnlS great nnlneral
belt Of Nevada, running along the eastern
slope Of the Sierra Nevada and parallel with
the great Mother lode of California. While
these two great belts, one on either side Of
the Sierra Nevada, remain parallel to each
other the ores are essentially gold ores with
the bulk Of richness being the eastern
side of the divide, that is to say on the Ne
vada side.
1t is of Searchlight district. or, to be more
exact, of a large property in Searchlight dis
trict that 1 going to speak, and
which 1 recently visited in company with
some Los Angeles parties, among whom were
O. B. Steen, the well-known mine owner and
operator; A. C. Calkns of the Calkns COM
pany, N. F. Wilson, general manager of the
Southwestern Securities company, and H. T.

pany owning these properties was organized
in 1901 The work that has been performed
has been carefully done, principally with a
view of determining as far as possible the
tent of them. Enough In that direction has
been accomplished to prove that with
thorough systematic development there Will
be made one of the most extensive and most
valuable mines in the state Of Nevada, as
with necessary equipment the ores can be
reduced at nominal cost
Plans involving the expenditure Of many
thousands of dollars In improvements and
DEVELOPMENT are now we'll under way and
will mean the driving of tunnels to tap the
ore bodies 500 feet below the apex OF the
veins and probable construction of a smelter.
The mining Industry of Southern nevada
may well congratulate itself upon the fact
that the Southwestern Securities company
of Los Angeles has consented to become the
fiscal agents of the Searchlght company and
in providing funds to be used In the develop
ment of the properties.
The president of the Southwestern Securi-
ties company (Col Frank A. SeaberD was
for many years and until quite recently
manager of the Delaware & LackaWanna
railroad while the general manager On. F.
WILSON, is we'll known in the financial circles
of Los Angeles and other coast cities. Q. b.
Steen, practical mine owner ana success1ui
operator has been entrusted with the man
agement of development and Is now survey
ing and laying our plans for the prosecution
of all labor necessary in driving tunnels,
building roads and devising other improve
ments.
The driving Of tunnels. the main one tap
ping the ore bodies at 800 feet below the sur
face, would place at command for treatment
many thousands of tons of rich copper and
gold ore So far as tested, these ores contain
gold and silver in sufficient quantities to
cover expenses OF mining and smelling
leaving the copper a net product. The prop
osition Is an immense one; one that under
even fairly good management Will be pront-
able to its owners.

Transportation


The question of Transportation is always OF
interest to mining districts and to none could
1t be of more interest than to Searchlight
1t will no doubt astonsh the readers OIL tne
Mining Review when 1 tell them that there
are at this writing something like 2OOOOO
pounds of freight at Marvel on the Santa
Fe railway, awaiting freighting teams 10
haul 1t to Searchlight distance from Man
vel of only twenty-five miles. With such
large amount of freight coming into the
Searchlight district 1t Is no wonder that the
people of this camp ask, when will the
Santa Fe give us direct rail communication
with points south and with Los Angeles?'
This as 1 view 1t, is matter OF quite as
much Importance to the people of Los An
geles as to the people of Searchlight. With
through rail communication with Los An
geles, trade from this district with that city
would increase, to the benefit of both. That
is matter that the Mining Review might
agitate and which it would be well for the
chamber of commerce to take in hand All
of us, of course know that great railroad
bodies like the Santa Fe are not easily
moved; 1t requires powerful lot of mo
tive" power to make them get move on
them,' but this is case of where the Santa
Fe officials would only be too glad to be con-
vinced that the building of branch road
from some point on their>system would prove
a wise action, yielding, in the tonnage to be
obtained, good profits on the expenditure
If the Santa Fe people have not time to at
tend to this matter 1t might pay some of
your big Los Angeles capitalists to look into
1t; nor do 1 believe that l would go far as
tray if 1 said that there are capitalists in
Boston and other eastern cities who would
gladly take hand in the project.
Searchlight is so rich that it has been able
to get along without direct rail communca-
ton, but the requirements of the district are
now so great and increasing that direct rail
communication with Los Angeles and other
points has become necessity. A railway 1t
must have, no matter who builds it.

BACCALAUREATE DISCOURSE.
DR.. Hamlin Addresses Students al
Maryland Agricultural College.

HYATTSVILLE, Nd, June IL. 1905.
The exercises marking the closing of the
forty-sixth year OF the Maryland Agricul-
tural College opened yesterday afternoon.
when Rev. DR.. Teun!s s. Hamlin. pastor of
the Church of the Covenant, Washington,
preached the baccalaureate sermon in the
presence of a large congregation composed
OF the faculty of the college. officers of the
experiment station, the student body and
visitors from the adjoining neighborhood.
DR.. Hamlins theme was Satisfaction" He
took his text from Ecclesiastes, fifth chap
ter, tenth verse: He that loveth silver
shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he
that loveth abundance with increase"
DR.. Hamlin declared that the philosophy
of the writer of this book was a mingling
of epicureanism and fatalism. He said it
was easy enough to be satisfied with the
transient wants of appetite and the things
Of this world. but real satisfaction was to
be found In things divine.
Addressing the graduating class, DR.. Ham
lin said:
II congratulate you most heartily upon
this happy and suspicious day. 1t signal
ICES the completion of a long period of
faithful and arduous study. You are about
to receive. in your diplomas, the visible evil
dence of your industry and patience and
which will accredit you to your friends and
your communities as qualified for positions
of Importance, requiring not only general
intelligence ana truSIWOrtn1neSS, Out eSpe-
cial equipment. You have been fitted to be.
and no doubt will be, notably useful citi-
zens. And you have right to be. as as
suredly you are. deeply grateful over this
result. There is a large and wholesome sat-
isfaction in this, in every real accom-
plishment. Whenever we can pause and
look back upon work well done we have one
of lifes chief experiences of happiness.
This Is true of single days work: single
hours, If the hour has brought something
large and fine. Much more of the unified
work of period of years. And most when
such work marks the close of one phase of
life and the entrance upon another and
quite distant phase. You leave boyhood
and youth behind you now and enter upon
manhood.
'And are you saying within your hearts.
each to himself: Thus far am satisfied?
In one respect 1 trust you are. But espe-
cially If you are satisfied with scholastic
education and practical training. that will
make you prosperous in business and give
you what the world calls success-I say. If
you are satisfied with this you are certain
however brilliant a career this may give
you. it can at most only enable you to live
well humanity; and you need to live divine,
ly. However filled your heart may be to-
day, 1t cannot be permanently filled with
mundane successes. Sooner or later what
Is highest in you will call imperatively for
God. Whatever good work is ended today.
whatever achievement shall begin tomor-
row, only as you know and love and trust
God can you ever be satisfied"
