OF the judiciary of thnt State. was in
Goldheld a few days this week upon what
he termed "a vacation trip" says the
Goldhcld News
Interested in Geology.
Unlike many of his colleagues on the
bench, Judge Bartch takes every possible
opportunity when relieved OF the stress
cf his official duties TO acquaint himself
With mines and mining-the subject OF
the bulk of the business which Is passed
up To his court FOR review. For n num-
Der OF years Judge Bartch has made ex-
cursions TO the mining sections Of the
country, This Is his second visit TO
Goldheld, the occasion OF his former
Trip being year ago. when he made
crn Nevada. He takes n keen interest
In the geological formation OF the West

Wonders at Advancement
Electric lights. water, sewers. a rail
road and fine buildings. That's pretty
good for n camp but little more than
two years old said Judge Bartch. e3l-

Nowhere, gathered together in a Western
mining camp Will you find A more In

huStlers- Their work Is reflected in the
remarkable progress which has been
made In the development of all of the
mines. as well In the transformation
of tent town Into a city of substantial
proportions.
Remarkable Mineral Belt
From a geological view point Nevada
Is n most fascinating State | believe
the mineral zone extends from Virginia
city to Bullfrog and Searchlight and
thence to the Colorado river Nowhere
In the world do mining camps spring up
as they do in Nevada. What today is n
barren waste, is tomorrow the scene of
aggressive human endeavors To my mind
there Is nothing In the United States
which equals the mineral belt of this
State. 1t Is probably the most remark
able formation in the world and presents
the greatest possibilities for development
found anywhere, where men delve into
the earth for precious metals, | believe
that within a few years Nevada Will ad-
vance to the first column as a mineral
producing State. The State has but fair
ly started, but 1t can be said IN all con-
servatism that its start is truly n good
one. There Is positively no limit TO the
possibilities for future development of the
mineral deposits.
Field an Inviting One.
This field is a most inviting one for
capital. And II Will prove more so in
the future, The successes Of the past

money. The West Is always attractive
To the East, and where investments offer
good returns. ample capital is always
forthcoming.
