Give Nevada the Mining Congress.

! Give Nevada the Mining congress.
Our sister across the border line.
! Nevada, wants the American Mining
! Congress for 1908. We say let her
/ have it, There are many reasons
why she should In the first place.
| Nevada is deserving of this honor. II
such the holding of the congress in
any state might he termed. There Is
no state in the union which has come
so eonspicuously to the front as a
producer of the precious metals dur
ing the past six years rs Nevada. SIX
years ago Nevada was regarded by
miners and others as n has been,
while today there is not section OF
the country which is better known.
And this revival of interest is due 10
the discovery of the vast ore deposits
which have been made hy the hardy
prospeetors in that time. Nothing
else could have attracted the atten-
ton of the investing public and caus-
ed the millions of dollars that have
gone into Nevada stocks as these dis
coveries have done.
Probably the best reason why the
American Mining Congress should
hold its sessions in Nevada next year
lies in the fact that it will give the
delegates to the congress. and these
come from all parts of the country,
an opportunity to determine the
value of the discoveries made and
what the future holds out for the
state in the way of production. There
are thousands of American mining
engineers who know Tonopah. Gold
field, Manhattan. Fairview, Ely and
other noted camps that have arisen
like magic in recent years only by
what they read. Some of them
would like To know them better, but
the opportunity has never presented
itself Many of these, the best of
them in fact. will attend the sessions
Of the congress. Ii the congress Is
held in Nevada they will he given the
opportunity they have sought. Ne
| vada will also get lot of honest and
| sincere publicity as result of their
presence. This is what Nevada needs,
Nevada has been badly maligned
and miSrepreSented rs we'll as abused.
4 There is no doubt but what many
| inexcusahle things have been COM
/ mitted in the name of Nevada. More
wildcats have been thrust upon the
NnsuSpecting and investing public in
| the name OF Nevada during the past
/ six years than We're ever before con-
Ceived. Millions of dollars have been
! illegally tilched from the unwary
/ throngh the foisting of worthless
/ schemes and mining stocks. And the
peonle who have been tilehed are lust
4 beginning TO resent the imposition
aud ehicanery to which they have
/ been subjected But those who know
/ the conditions do not blame Nevada

RACES The majority OF the schemes

state We are prepared 10 testify To
I that. But Nevada has suffered be-
cause the wildcat ventures were all

/ derS. And when n man has been de-
/ ceived and robbed he is inclined 10
condemn the state more than the in
