NEVADA HAS FOUGHT TROUBLES
Yet Camps Faithfully Have Reward
ed Operators All Over the State.

"Nevada's great mineral fields
carrying gold, silver, copper and
lead, have within the past six years
produced over $1,000,000, and the
aggressive and practical work now
being advanced in the older districts,
as well as the new, is positive as
surance that the next six years will
witness an output at least three
| times this amount, for in every dis
trict in the state where judicious OPP
erations have been prosecuted re-
suits that have been obtained war
rant the opinion that the mine indus
try is indeed in it's infancy" said a
we'll known Nevadan to the Salt Lake
Tribune last week.
Certainly Nevada is the greatest
mining region on the fact of the
EARTH" he continued, land the rapid
strides in production from few hum
dred thousand dollars year or two
since to nearly $50,000,000 the pres
ent year, indicates that the value of
the mineral bearing area within the
confines of that state alone is hardly
green enough in the most sanguine
Imagination. Every mountain range
in the state which has been at all
strength not only of the precious
metal bearing ores, but the baser
minerals. The former has been no
the product of the latter has been
devoted to science and art.
LAS matter of fact, from one end
of the state to the other, a distance
of more than 500 miles, great zones
of copper, silver, lead and gold have
been developed to such an extent that
the great smelling plants of the
country are unable to handle the
enormous output, and notwithstand-
ing this very serious handicap to
these extensive operations, perfect
confidence of the mining operators
has never abated for one moment.
The lack of water, proper transporta-
ton facilities, adverse financial con-
ditions and other unfavorable sur
roundings have in no degree what
ever been a damper on the energy
or determination to explore and de-
velop these great mineral bearing
shoots at depths.
sit should be remembered that the
present remarkable annual outpue
has been secured by the expenditure
of vast sums and by scientific re-
search, and yet it really is the pres
ent work of development through
which Nevada will be indebted for
the increased output for the future.
This work is not confined to any one
district, but giant mergers have been
formed all over the state for the pur-
pose of operating at depth. Mony of
the older properties have the record
production of hundreds of millions
of dollars, and when conservative eX-
penditures is considered with refer
ence to big operations, and the latest
scientific methods for recovering the
values are utilized and exercised,
these old properties which were ia
nous in their day again will be to
the fore with an output very much
in excess, no doubt, of the old time
record.
I'm the new fields operations are
being advanced on such scale as
will warrant the belief that an out
put not at all insignificant may be
anticipated from them. The north
ern part of the state IS driving ahead
with determination and aggressive
action prompted by perfect conf
dence in the central and southern
parts of the state are equally active
in aggressively exploring copper de-
posts funexampled richness and
strength.
at will be more than 20 years
hence before Nevada will be in the
zenith of it's strength as a mineral
producing region, and it can posi-
lively be stated as fact that devel-
opment has only been necessary to
accentuate the great wealth and the
enormous richness of these zones at
