IhE STATE.
'Nevada's great mineral fields,
carrying gold, silver, copper and
lead, have within the past six years
produced over 100000, and the
aggressive and practical work now
being advanced in the older dist
riots, as we'll as the new, is a posi-
tive assurance that the next six
years will witness an output at
least three times this amount, for
in every district in the State where
judicious operations have been
prosecuted results that have been
obtained warrant the opinion that
the mine industry is indeed in its
infancy" said we'll known Ne
vadan to the Salt Lake Tribune
last week.
Certainly Nevada is the great
est mining region on the face of
the earth,' he continued, land
the rapid strides in production
from few hundred thousand dol
lars a year or two since to nearly
$50, 100000 the present year, indi-
Gates that the value of the mineral
bearing area within the confines
of that state alone is hardly green
enough in the most sanguine i'm
agination. Every mountain range
in the state which has been at all
prospected has demonstrated the
strength not only of the precious
metal bearing ores, but the baser
minerals. The former has been no
small factor in financial circles,
and the product of the latter has
been devoted to science and art.
"As a matter of fact, from one
end of the state to the other, a dis
tance OF more than 800 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 Notwithstanding this
very serious handicap to these ex-
tensive operations, perfect conf
dence of the mining operators has
never abated for one moment. The
lack OF water, proper transporta-
ton facilities, adverse financial
conditions and other unfavorable
surroundings have in no degree
whatever been a damper on the
energy or determination to explore
and develop these great mineral
bearing shoots at depth.
at should be remembered that
the present remarkable annual out
put has been secured by the ex-
penditure of vast sums and by
scientific research, and yet it really
is the present work of development
through which Nevada will be in
debted 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 purpose
of operating at depth. Many of
the older properties have the record
production of hundreds of millions
of dollars, and when conservative
expenditures is considered with
reference to big operations, and
the latest scientific methods for re-
covering the values are utilized
and exercised, these old properties
which were famous 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 ag-
gressive action prompted by per-
feet confidence in the central and
southern parts of the state are
equally active in aggressively OK.
