been the scene of much volcanic activity
in the past, the formation being broken
and faulted, leaving many fssures to be-
come mineralized at a later period. These
form the present ore bodies and are al
most invariably of generous proportions
i'll some instances there being thirty feet

ton The ore is practically all free mill

has been found at about three hundred
feet in abundant quantities for mining
and industrial purposes. In fact everv
facility is at hand for economic mining
and operations can be carried on under
the most advantageous surroundings and
without cessation throughout the year.
Although the richest ores in Search
light have been found at the lowest levels
attained (1000 feet) expert geologists
claim that this is only the beginning of
deep mining in the camp. Geological
showings present indisputable evidence
that the ore bodies will go thousands of
feet deeper and equal in value the records
in Australia and the Transvaal, where
free milling ore is found at depth of
five to six thousand feet. Nature has
favored this portion of Nevada with law
ish hand. The extent and richness of the
ore bodies deposited within its borders
are practically boundless, and ages of hu-
man endeavor and industrial enterprise
will make but small inroads in the wealth
concealed within this vast treasure vault.

Without a Failure

|ET@I UNIVERSALLY regarded as the
EE most promising and least doomed
NV camp in Nevada is Searchight
l&AA Situated in the very heart of that
portion of the state known as the Golden
Triangle" and forming a wedge between
California and Arizona, and discovered
less than ten years ago, it has, through
the enduring faith and persistent labor of
practical mining men, achieved a high
place of honor amongst the gold produc-
ing regions of the world. It's progress has
been comparatively slow. 1t boasts of no
tales Of stampedes, of lawless excitement
or fortunes made in day and lost in a
night. The wisdom of experts afforded
it no assistance, but rather discouraged
the belief of the pioneers in the value and
vastness of its gold-bearing formation.
Having the courage of their convictions
and working with determination, the min
ers won Shafts sunk to depth of four
hundred feet in the Searchlight district
from surface showings, have in every in
stance made bullion producing mines, and
today the camp stands proudly alone, as
the camp without failure"
Over forty mines are in active operation
employing over four hundred men, with a
monthly payroll for all classes of labor ap-
proximating S6000000 The output in
bullion per month is in the neighborhood
of $250000O0, with possibilities of in
crease beyond computation, and not less
than $3000.00000 in gold is contained in
the dumps, waiting treatment by cyanide.
The total production of bullion to date
approaches the enormous sum of $5000,-
10000.
