GOOD WORDS
FOR NEVADA
Californian Says Present
Financial Condition is
Boon to State

DR.. A. H. Elftman, a mining en-
gineer. has just returned after max
ing a thorough investigation of the
Nevada mining situation. lie reports
mining operations greatly retarded on
account of the temporary tightness in
the money market. Banks refuse to
advance money to operators who have
only mining stocks to offer as secu-
ity Those mines that have the mon
ey to use are developing ore bodies
most encouragingly.
Said Dr. Elftman: AS an indica-
tion of the way in which the mines
are being worked in the number of
new stamp mills being erected. Six
months ago there was but one stamp
mill treating Tonopah ores. now there
are four big ones dropping stamps,
Three stamp mills are under con
struction in the kawich country. a
1OO-stamp mill was started at Rhyo-
lite 10 days ago and another at Blair
a week a:p. The first mill in Man
haitian was started a week ago. two
others there are nearing completion
and it is the same story throughout
the state Now it stands to reason
that the erection and continuous op-
Grafton of mills means that ore is
being produced"
DR.. Elftman gives similar informa-
ton in ragard to the work of the
railroads Surveys have been made
for a railroad from Ely to Tonopah
which goes right through the heart
of the kawich country. in which are
located the recent rich strikes. at
Golden Arrow. Silver Bow. Bellhelen
and Horseshoe Last week the Clarl,
road reached Goldneld and the BoraN

Labor is scarce and the railroads are
