GREENwATER COPPER
"Just over the line from Nevad is
another copper camp, which must be
Nevada boom, for it unquestionably
owes it's discovery and development to
the same factors which have been re-
sponsible for such a remarkable ac-
complishments in our new Nevada.
Greenwater is a high-grade camp, and
sensationaliy so.
"The Importance of this discovery is
best evidenced by the fact that the
heaviest mining operators in the coun-
try are bidding the one against the other
for properties here, and prices are al
ready ecord-breaker for any kind of a
camp. There are reported to be in this
camp already such men as Senator
Clark, Patsy Clark, Heinze, Newhouse,
Schwab, Gates and others.
Down at Emigrant Springs they are
planning to lay a pipe line twenty-four
miles, TO bring water to the mines, and
the big mpa there has a working
capital of a quarter of a million dollars.
Seventeen miles from Fairview is the
new camp of Wonder, and 1 travelled
in the stage that carried the locators
of the Wonder property, who were on
their way to close a deal for their six
claims, the purchase price being no less
than $500, 900. Does not this represent
the confidence of capital in the newest
of the new camps?
Il saw the big surface outcrop on the
Ramsey Comstock, at the new camp
of Ramsey, and saw panned from it one

table feast for sore eyes. Big deals are
being reported from this camp, and the
town cannot grow fast enough to ac-
ommodate the new corners. who are

BOUND MOUNTAIN
Round Mountain continues to pro-
duce some of the most sensationally
h~igh-grade gold ore ever seen, and dur
ing my visit to Nevada, I. learned that
twenty men were earning a total of
1900 a day, just dry washing a surface
deposit, which was certainly immense.
II met incoming prospectors from
Twin Rivers, a new camp rich in silver.
and / talked with those who think that
Buckskin will be on the map for years
to come. 1 heard of Seven Troughs,
and / met those who said that anyone
who had ever been in Cripple Creek
would go crazy over the Phonolite
showing at lone. learned all about
the old camps of Silver Peak and Ida
and Kawick. 1 heard of so many new
camps 1 cannot remember them all, and
in every instance I was presented with
substantial evidence, that at least the
T. ono, .-s1l A. T.
now receiving will surely result in the
development of many new camps, some
of which may yet surpass in richness
and proportions those which nave al
ready been systematically exploited.
"Searchlight 1 visited last year, and
the big things which l was able to re-
port at that time, are but ancient his
tory, and small in comparison with SUBJ
sequent developments In fact that the
railroads are headed for Searchlight
tells the story best, and this camp has
in other ways received it's deserving
recognition, ranking among the very
best in the state.
Nevada is experiencing a r~eawaken-
ing. Since the days of the Comstock
she has laid dormant-yes, neglected,
and even scoffed at by those who
thought they knew. The discovery by
Jim Butler has resulted in changing
The map of Nevada, setting the way as
it did, for the development of so many
new camps and districts. Thousands
of new people are in Nevada today, and
they number the shrewdest and the
most optimistic of our citizens; empire
builders, who dare to do what others
ridicule at the time, and wonder at
later.
Nevada today presents the vanguard
Of enterprise. and offers the best
opportunity for quick fortune building
that can be found elsewhere.
"Some of the biggest capital in the
country is specializing in the new Ne
vada lamps; it has awakened to the
fact hat there are tremendous opportu-
mites for those who have the foresight
and daring to plunge in the earlier
stages of mining development: and the
man who before scoffed at mining is
now racing his auto scross the Nevada
deserts. with those who. having made
their money in mining are only to
pleased to invest further. taking the
splendid chances for increasing their
fortunes.
THE real boom has not started in
Nevada.
