The recent activity and magnificent
results registered in the county of Hum

anew to this section Of the State, and
as usual in such cases, Salt Lakers are
allowing no other city or community IN
the country TO get In ahead of them.

from the town of Wnnemucca is an
old district which was once famous in
the history of the West. Here was To-

Virginia City district during the Com.

mineral showings in Humboldt county,
Virginia City drew the crowd. This old
region is being reiuvenated. and the
last to secure some extremely valuable
ground there is T.. Drake, the district
passenger agent for the Rock Island,
and his Humboldt county associates.
Mr.. Drake returned Monday from this
interesting camp, and he stated Tuesday
that he expected this old camp TO be
one of the liveliest in the county dur

ly known as the "Pride of the Noun

In the early days the Pride of the
Mountain produced over 100000 worth
of silver and gold ores. Naturally only
the richest rock could be handled by
the owners, and this was hauled TO
San Francisco and shipped to Wales.
The workings from which this ore came
were not SO very deep, either, and the
present company owning the ground is
sinking a double compartment shaft,
for the purpose of securing depth upon
this old producer. The vein from which
such rich rock came in the first days
of the region s activity crosses the
group now owned by Mr.. Drake and his
Nevada associates. and there is every
reason presented by the surface show
ings to expect some extremely crafty
ing results after the present workings

Mr.. Drake states that at compara-

The mill is a twenty-ton Nlssen stamp

There will be very little waste water. as
