NEVADA READY
TO MAKE RECORD
Former Salt Laker Shows That
Camps of the State Are
Making Good.

After an absence of two years John
w. Langley, formerly in the stock broker
age business here. and now a permanent
resident of Touopah and head of the
Langley Investment company, is in town
greeting old friends and attending to
business that brought him here.
Notwithstanding the fact that quite
crimp has been put in Nevada mining
enterprises as result OF the slump in
stock markets and the financial condition
OF the country said Mr.. Langley, min
ing in Nevada is on firmer basis today
than II ever was and there is no doubt
but what we shall pull through in time
without material damage. 1t is not so
easy to make great mines and begln tne
payment OF dividends in new country
as the world would try to believe. but L
want TO saw that, never In the history
of the mining industry, in any part OF
the world, was there ever so much &c
complished in so short a time as has
been done during the past five or SIX
years in the state OF Nevada. Our camps
were just beginning to make good the
promises of the pioneers in most of them
when things began to go to pieces and
conditions are now such that we can rap
idly build up again on the real merit of
the mines. Tonopah was never produc-
3ng as much money in metals as II Is do
3ng today and, il 1t was not for the fact
that the smelling companies have com
PEELED a slowing down, temporarily, the
output of Goldfield alone for this year
would have exceeded so. 000.0 coo. ] think II
will cut close to that figure, anyhow.
Several great mills are now grinding
away in that camp and at Tonopah, or
ders have been placed for more and others
are in contemplation. The big mill at the
Shoshone. IN the Bullfrog district, is run
ming and two more fine plants will short
" be built there. One mill is running in
Manhattan and one or two mare are 60
ing in there: Round Mountain has a GUS
tom mill and a big placer enterprise and
another mill or two will be erected there
during the next six months.
"A world beating mine has been made
3n the Nevada Hills property at Fairview,
and there will be two or three more big
bonanzas opened there soon. They have
the ore now and only need time TO develop
them At Wonder a mill has been start
ed and another is promised. At Silver
Peak the OMeara brothers have their
ten-stamp mill grinding away on fine gold
ore and the big 1OO-stamp mill of the Pitts
burg-Silver Peak company, the proposi-
ton that was launched by Martin L. Eff
up for a long career of big money MAX
ing.
The Comstock mines are doing we'll;
Ely has been brought to a stage where il
VIII soon be producing millions a month
IN copper and Yerington is not far be
hind. Phoebe is ready 10 break forth and
outshine its glorious history of the early
days and other camps having splendid
merit are ready to assert their rights as
mineral producers. In addition there has
teen easily LOCO miles OF new railroad
built during the past five years, and what
was once considered as desert waste IS
being proven up as the richest mineral
ground on earth.
We've had a setback of course. but
nothing can stop us from forging ahead
again. We had to start with promises
now we have the goods to deliver and
that IS what counts
