The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-01-19

Nevada s fame IS a producer VI ~
precious metals is world wide and the
most aggressive operators, from every
cline. have invaded this vast mineral
field and its past output will be IN
significant as compared with future re-
,urns if the extensive operations now
being advanced are an indication. Inc
field is indeed ~plenteous and the labor
ers few, saws the Reno Journal.
This is a land of gold, silver, cop
per and lead and every condition Is
favorable for cheap and rapid exploita-
t;on of ore bodies. Present activity
does not seem to be confined to any
single district or locality, for prom's-
ing lodes are being daily
and hence our miners are moving into
new and unexplored fields, with the
view of being the first in agresslvely
attacking virgin territory.
1t is no longer problematical, but an
absolutely demonstrated fact that Ne
vada not only has now but is entitled
to first place in the minds of the in
vesting public, as the opportunities
cannot be equaled in any section Of
the world.
Every mountain range within the
boundaries of this state, and all OF Cau-
fornia east of the Sierras, offers a field
for extensive exploitation with a posi-
tive assurance of commensurate results.
Not a hill in Nevada but carries goli
to a greater or less extent and the net
work of railroads constructed and con-
templated offers a quick means OF re-
ducing all ores.
Properties which have been abandon
ed for years, though with a record ont
put of many millions to their credit
and which have lain dormant for
twenty years, are coming to the fore
and vast combinations of strong and
experienced mining men portend a de-
gree of prosperity never before known
in the history of the state. Legitimate
mining ventures are being sought by
conservative business men and their
success in other lines will stand them
well when considering the development
of great propositions. The trend of
events indicates the combining of even
some of the very largest enterprises
and it is of almost daily occurrence to
note the organization of a corporation
capitalized at from ten million dollars
to one hundred million dollars to take
over properties of enormous producing
capacity.
And with all this accomplished by
individual effort, Nevada, the greatest
of them all, has no mining organization
to consider and foster matters of great
moment which necessarily interest AMI
demand the united counsel and action
of mining men. Such ar organization,
somewhat on the lines of the California
association, it seems to us, is not only
eminently proper at this time, but
absolutely requisite, and the Journal
would therefore suggest that the
papers of the state consider the matter
and make such suggestions in regard
thereto as may seem to them mete in
the premises.
There is no question, in our opinion,
but such an organization would be
productive of much good, not only IN
the comparison of opinions from Q
theoretical as well as practical stand
point, in the conduct of mines, but as
organization, could make an abso-
success of any important matter
to the mining industry which could no.
possibly be accomplished or advanced
by individual effort, or perhaps even
by petition.
