TO BE7HE STARTING
POINT OF GREAT
DEVELOPMENT.

The coming Spring and Sum-
mer will be the starting point of a
great future development of the
mining industry in Lander county.
We look forward to an unusual
amount of prosperity, for the grad
ual westward trend which the more
recent discoveries are taking, in
sures for this section a thorough
inspection by prospectors. This
part OF the county lies in a highly
mineralized belt, and holds great
promise to the prospector.
The mining district of northern
Lander is one of the largest with
The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1907-01-31

in the county, the greatest amount
of development having been done
in this camp, and the greatest
amount OF bullion being extracted,
it is despite its thirty years OF
more of operations, district that
has yielded untold wealth from
what is practically the surface
workings alone. We believe for
this reason that when conditions
favorable to deep mining are pos
sible, that this section will witness
a revival of the early prosperity,
which attended the discovery Of
the camp. And this is sure to
come.
