JUST ONE NINE.
Mr.. F. w. Bradley, the eminent
mining engineer of San Francisco,
who is consulting engineer to the
Nevada Consolidated property, re-
Gently published report showing
"a, 900, 900 tons of ore in sight" in
that one mine, carrying copper
content that totals value of $I73,
600, 900. The gold and silver values
would raise this astounding aggre-
gate to almost $Io7, 900, 900. In
addition, the statement is mad that
only a small fraction of the ground
owned by this company on the great
deposit, has as yet been explored.
1t is the earnest desire of this pa
per to avoid all exaggerations in
regard to Ely's astonishing copper
deposit, for we realize that such talk
would ultimately injure the camp,
and whatever Injuries the camp in
lures our own interests. This great
deposit, we wish to state distinctly,
is, as miners are accustomed to esti-
mate ore values. a low-grade cop
per proposition. All the greater
copper deposits of the world are low
grade, and this averages fully up to
the best Of those with which it can
be'compared, 1t, is the vast ex-
tent of this. Ely deposit, the general
evenness with which the values are
distributed through the mass and

importance is getting more widely
appreciated, capital is pouring in
with a fairly torrential rush.
Three banks for Ely. have lately
been chartered, and fourth is con-
templated. Four railroads are alrea-
dy headed for Ely, and the first will
reach the great camp within few
weeks. These will all have to be
double-tracked within two years to
handle the immense tonnage which
the many and great mines of White
Pine county can offer.
A PRoSPEcTORs PARADISE.
The area of White Pine county is
$500 square miles-the same as the
whole state of Massachusetts,. The
whole of it has long been known as
heavily mineralized country, but
remoteness from transportation has
made general development impos-
sible heretofore. The new railroads
now rushing to reach Ely from the
North, south and east. will quickly
change all that.
1t is prospector' paradise,
plenty of pure water, plenty of fire.
wood on the hanks of the ranges,
and some large patches of good saw
timber, plenty of forage for stock,
everywhere, many large herds of
horses, cattle and sheep, and many
fine stock and farm ranches in the
long, wide, north south valleys.
No foods, no deadly snowslides; a
general elevation in the valleys of
5000 feet; mountains 5000 to A.
900 feet higher: climate very like
that Of Salt Lake city; seldom hot.
more seldom severely cold, but suf-
6cently cl,angeable not to be monot-
onous, and always healthful.
Come and welcome. 1t is re.
gion of big and quick opportunities.

1t is impossible to speak Of the
stupendous copper deposits at Ely.
with the reserve which will COM
mand the immediate confidence of
those who hear of our wonderful
camp for the first time, because the
magnitude and value Of the deposit
are almost incredibly great.
The best informed mining men of
the United States are now begin
ming to clearly comprehend its act
ual greatness for the first time, and
as a consequence, there is scram
BILE among the great miners and cap
italists of the country, to gain foot
hold in the camp.
The money exchanges i'll the
transfers of Ely mining property
during the month of March, exceed
those of all the rest of Nevada more
than six times over, and some no.
table mine sales were made during
March in the Bullfrog district.
Bullfrog is probably the greatest
all-gold camp today in Nevada.
1t is believed to have as much as
$40, ooo, 900 of value in sight, or
practically in sight. Bullfrog is a
truly great camp, and worthy of the
implicit confidence of those who are
putting their money i'll to develop
its vast mines.
The gold values in the Ely cop
per deposit, are very low, averaging
only about two pennyweights to the
ton-about 40 cents worth-but the
magnitude of the ore deposit is SO
vast that the total gold value in
sight to.day-observe, we say in
sight to.day--equalsf the stupend-
GUS sum off, ~. -.
$4oo,eoo, 900.
The silver .yalue$also are low, but
we think may be,safely, placed at 81
per ton for the WHOLE district. In
some of the mines it is certainly
more than that

[tional 6gnres on the Ely copper de-
posit, but quite the contrary, be-
causs, rs said before, the most re-
served statement that can be made
is 50. astonishing; that at first blush
it looks incredible and the writer OF
speaker is liable to be regarded q
reckless and irresponsible liar.
We have secured the estimates oi
two. mining engineers, high-class,
conservative men, one graduate Of
Harvard. the other Of Columbia,
both we'll acquainted with the ge-
ology and mineralogy of the camp,
and familiar with all the develop
ment, who figured first separately
and afterward in consultation, and
they agreed upon the statement as
sufficiently reserved and cautious,
that the camp contains today, prac-
tacally in sight, the astounding ag-
gregate of
1000, 900, 600 TONS.
The Sin sight, as used by them
is not, we ought to say, used quite
in the mining sense of the term, but
partly in the strict mining sense,
and partly as justifable geological
inference.
IT'S MONEY VALUE.
Now 900, 900, 900 tons, carrying
40 cents to the ton in gold, gives:
Gold value of $500, 900, 900,
Carrying 81 in silver,$I, ooo, 900, :
600.
These responsible gentlemen
thought it safe to reckon the aver
age copper content at three and one
half per cent. But to avoid any
suspicion of a desire to exaggerate
the riches of the camp, we Stall
here adopt the average of the lowest
grade section of the camp, two aud
