At the present rate of production the

the year will add $SO,0O0,00O to the world
wealth, says the Bonanza, and the known
ore reserves are SO large that this can
be continued for a great many years,
with every possibility as further develop
ment continues, that even this large pro-
duction will be greatly increased. Fair

derful copper disclosures and the nearby
gold camps of Buckskin and Ramsey
alone give promise to the bullion rec

Comstock lode, Manhattan, with greater
mineralized area than any district In
Nevada, and its proved bodies of high
grade milling ore, will no doubt in a
short time rival the immense production
of Tonopah and Goldield. Three large
reduction plants are now under con-
struction and this is simply the begin
ming. Round Mountain, though but a
yearling in age, is adding 100000 monthly
to Nevada's record.
New Mills
The past week has witnessed the start
ing of the 100 stamp mill of the Mont
gomery- -Shoshone of Bullfrog and orders
have been placed for similar plants for
the Gold Bar and Homestaxe in the same
district. The Bonnie Clare has placed an
order for an additional ten stamps to its
present mill. The Valacalda mill of twen-
ty stamps in the old district of Silver
Peak, has recently been installed and an
other month will see the 100 stamps
dropping in the mill of the Pittsburg-
Silver Peak Consolidated Mining compa-
ny. The territory surrounding Ely Is
perhaps the greatest copper district in
the world. When it is considered that
such great financiers as the Guggenheims

we'll known, several hundred millions

the old timer of Tuscarora is firm in
his belief that the half has not been
extracted. Aura, which, perhaps through
it's publicity as having been the home of
Mark Twain's Wild West, is one of the
best known old times, is taking on new
life. Several of it's mines have immense
deposits of high grade milling ore and

at Delamar which warrant the belief
that this famous camp will yield as many
