The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1907-09-26

Gfou Uo tnOse living IN tile lHlu'
ing OF Nevada, the question near.
est our hearts is, what has caused
the recent depression in the mar
ket price OF mining stocks and
when will the expected advance
come again9 Many times have
we gone through similar slump
and just as often has change for
good come at time when it was
least expected. Many times have
our hopes been buried by dark
clouds and Just as often have they
been frightened by the Sunlight of
prosperity. Such is the usual ex-
perience in the development of a
new country, more especially a
mining country, and each success
sive experience is only link in
the great chain of happenings that
is necessary in the history of its
development. Whils hope end
despair have been the heart
thoughts of many, the prospector
with his burro has gone ahead with
the old spirit of determination to
win; his footsteps have led him
into new places and like the quiet
faithfulness OF bis burro compan-
ions, the world knows but little of
his daily struggle until the "pay
streak has been found and the
rush for the new "diggins' is on.
With the same grim determination
has development work been prose-
cuted. The prospect of yesterday,
to-day shows signs of making
good" tomorrow it actually
"makes good' and such is the con-
dh'ion of the New Nevada" to-day,
it is making good" Its produc-
ton record for the present year
will lead the list of gold silver pro-
ducing states aud with the develop
ment of many new districts which
are sure to be shippers the coming
year, there is little doubt but that
the year 1908 will see Nevada head
the list of all mineral producing
states.
At the present rate of production
the two camps of Toaopah and
Goldfeld for the present year will
add S30,0O0,000 to the worlds
wealth, and the known ore reserves
are so large that this can be con-
tinued fos great many years, with
every possibility as further devel-
opment continues, that even this
large production will be greatly
increased. Fairview with its Ne
vada's Hills to head the list of
numbered heavy shippers, will add
its quota. Wonder is a close sec
ond to Fairview. Yerington with
its wonderful copper disclosures
and the nearby gold camps of
Buckskin and Ramsey alone give
promise of bullion records which
will rival the world-famous Com
lode. Manhattan, with greater
mineralized area than any district
in Nevada, and its proven bodies
of high grade milling ore, will no
doubt in a short time rival the i'm
mense production of Tonopah and
Goldfeld. Three large reduction
plants are now under construction
and this is simply the beginning.
Round Mountain, though but a
yearling in age, is ADDING 100000
me nthly to Nevada's record.
The past week has witnessed the
starting of the 100-stamp mill OF
the Montgomery-Shosbon of Bull
frog and orders have been placed
for similar plants for the Gold Bar
and Homestake in the same dis
trict. The Bonnie Claire has
placed an order for an additional
ten stamps to its present mill
The Valcalda mill of twenty
stamps in the old district of Silver
Peak, has recently been installed
and another month will see the
100 stamps dropping in the mill oi
the Pittsburg-Silver Peak Con
