ALMOST sTAGGEKS BELIEF.


unes, the wonderful mineral strikes
and the successes which have attended
mining operations in Nevada during
the past two years the statements made
almost stagger belief.
And were it not for the fact hat we
know these reports to be true, we
would not believe them. AS it is, the
finite mind cannot really comprehend
the immensely of this Nevada boom
and one has to be on the ground in
order to participate in the delerilm of
excitement attending operations in the
leading mining camps of the "Battle
Born state.
In mining share transactions it
seems Uncomfortable that brokers of
aoldfield should be obliged to close
heir doors for a day or two in order
hat they may be able to catch up
With back business, and that the ex-
hange concluded it would be for the
,est to close for a day in order that
is members might be able to attend
% orders already fled with them. The
excitement attending the receiving re
turns on election nights, is tame com

IN Goldfeld streets when stocks are
jelling on the curb, and It would Sc
sverely tax ones credulity TO believe
The statement that the stock bu.Fsra
n this magnificent camp will clean up
ne hundred million dollars this year
their investments and speculate ,'s
Then, too, it takes the breath away
0htn the statement is made that II ip
nents of ore will soon be made from
this camp which will touch a million
to the car in value, and that mines il
portions of the camp, former
ly believed to be out of the mineral
lied zone, are turning out to be bigger
and richer than were sub mi..es as the
Jumbo, the Sandstone, the Combina
ton and the Janua~y in their palmy
days.
The people of Southern Nevada NV
almost live on excitement. Many can
barely get the snstenance Of life, and
- for lodging for the night, g bed in
"a cold warerOom D. a blanket IN fha
ground in o tent must suffice the most
fastidious. In this section there is a
glut of gold, but a scarcity of coal and
fuel.
But this is not all. In every direction
rich finds are being almost daily
chronicled, and new districts are rap
idly springing to the front which prom
ises to become formidable rivals to To
nopah and Goldfeld. Among the mum
Der may be mentioned Johnnie, Fair
7iew, Wonder, Round Mountain Silver
Peak and Rosebud. S~earchlight has al
'eady established a reputation as be-
ing a "camp without a failure and
fhe great Bullfrog country is develop
ing big mines and making fortunes ga
ore for the poor as well as for the
rich.
The question is being daily asked:
GLOW long will this wonderful ex-
,itement continue2v The answer is
hat it will continue as long as an ar
ny of prospectors is kept in the field
As long as extensive and systematic
development is maintained, and as long
as capital will take c~ognizance of new
discoveries throughout the west.
The cause of this great mining in
crest is really confined in a nutshell
It can be ascribed to thorough pros
,ecting, and to the further fact that
n the past but little was really known
f the magnificent mineral deposits
in hundreds of places
throughout the intermountain region
m the past no systematic effort hal
made to find and develop these
deposits. Now, however, thousands Of
aen are securing the hills and can
,ons: and, what remains to be discov
reed in the future will probably equa
not eclipse the many marvels of thu
