Likes Nevada.

Judge George W. Bartch, one of the
leading citizens of Utah and at present
chief justice of the supreme court of
that state, has returned home after a
pleasant vacation trip to Tonopah and
Goldfield. Judge Bartch takes every
opportunity when relieved of the stress
Of his official duties to acquaint himself
with mines and mining-the subject of
the bulk of the business which passed
up to his court for review. For a
number of years Judge Bartch has
made excursions to the mining sections
Of the country. This was his second
visit to this section, the occasion of
his former trip being a year ago, when
he made a tour of the Bullfrog country
and southern Nevada. He takes a
keen interest in the geological forma-
ton of the West. 1t is a study with
him, his Investigations being confined
to no particular section, but widely
scattered.
While in Goldfeld, Judge Bartch a
interviewed by the News man, to whom
he expressed himself as follows:
Electric lights, water, sewers, a
railroad and fine buildings. That's
pretty good for a camp but little more
than two years old. OF course, when
| was here a year ago you were making
a start, but | scarcely expected to find
the improvements which are now appar-
ent on every hand. Today many of the
mining properties that were but pros
poets then have good ore and are max
ing shipments.
From a geological view point Neva-
da is a most fascinating state. / be-
lieve the mineral o extends from
Virginia city to Bullfrog and Search
light, and thence to the Colorado river,
Nowhere in the world do mining camps
spring up as they do in Nevada. What
today is a barren waste, is tomorrow
the scene of aggressive human endeav
ors. To my mind there is nothing il
the United States which equals the
mineral belt of this state. 1t is proba
bly, the most remarkable formation il
the world, and presents the creates
