a large number OF miners VINO are or
have worked in the United Verde's
Eureka, Wade Hampton, Chrome
North and Chrome South mines, that
the immense ore bodies in these work.
ings continue into the ground covered
by the locations of the new company.
Miners Are Scarce
Word comes to Nevada that there is
an unusual scarcity of miners In other
western states on account of the ex-
element that has prevailed in Nevada
state for the past three years. Utah
is short of men and the operators in
many sections advertise in vain for
sufficient help. Colorado Arizona,
Idaho and New Mexico are in the
same fix. Wages are up in Nevada
and thousands of skilled miners have
not only been attracted by wages
higher than the scale in other states
but they have gone to Nevada to pros
pect for themselves. -1any hundreds
have been grubstaked and in every
section of the state there are busy
mining camps working all the way
from twenty to two thousand men.
