The Terminal TOWnSite

IMyWl lITUATED on beautiful plateau
lN% in the midst of one of the great
IAN est mining regions on earth and
l6A1M possessing physical advantages
unequaled by any mining camp in Ne
vada, the city of Searchlight, as projected
by the plat shown in center cut, promises
to become, in course of time, the ideal
"City of the Plains" 1t is located in the
heart of the operating mines, which have
made the district famous i'll past years,
and in the center of what is known as the
Flat" where developments and discov-
cries of much Importance are of almost
daily occurrence. The Flat will undoubt-
edly be the scene of great mining activity
for many years to come.
THE POPULATION OF THE DISTRICT has
grown from few hundreds to nearly te tnfee
thousand within the past year, and is constantly
increasing
THE CLIMATE differs materially from that of
ton is lower-s5OO feet-and little snow falls
during the winter In summer there is high
degree of heat, but usually neutralized by re-
freshing breezes during the day, while the nights
invariably cool and stimulating.
LABOR CONDITIONS throughout the entire
district harmonious and the class of labor
attracted is unusually high
THE TERMINAL TOWNSHIP has been laid
out on modern lines, having in view the possi-
bility of its becoming the hub or distributing
~
farming territory.

importance
Arrangements have been concluded for
the early installation of Electric Light,
Telephone System, Water Works and Ice
Making plant, Bank and other municipal
improvements. As is we'll known, such
enterprises are invariably the source of
large profit, particularly in mining camps,
and it is the intention of the founders of
this city to afford every resident or prop
erty owner the opportunity of participant
ing as part proprietor therein, in proper
tion to his or her interest in the townsite
property. The spirit of cooperation will
be encouraged in all enterprises which are
necessary for the upbuilding and perma-
nence Of the terminal townsite
The natural advantages of the camp, its
unusual facilities for economical mining,
the remarkable extent and depth of its
rich ore bodies, the confidence with which
practically unlimited capital is expediting
development, both mining and municipal,
and the completion of all important rail
road service, justify the prediction that
the townsite of this company is destined
to become city of such Importance as to
entitle it to be regarded as the metropolis
of Southern Nevada at no very distant
date.
