A BOOST FOR NEVADA.

Judge C. c. Goodwin of the Salt
Lake Telegram, and one of the best
friends Nevada has ever had, gives
the following editorial in his paper
on the camps of this state:
For many years the Nevada mines
yielded s5O,000,00O annually. She
promises to renew the old program
next year, and to increase upon that
for several years to come. Her new
districts are getting to the real pro-
duction point, while several of her
old districts are developing wonder
fully. Eureka is doing better than
at any time since in the eighties;
preparations are going on to give a
new and wonderful lease of life to
old Tuscarora; Silver Peak, the
wealth of which has long been
known. but because of Its isolation
and want of water has remained I'M
explored, will in the next six weeks
he reducing 600 tons of ore per day
with first rate prospect of doubling
that amount in the early spring.
That district now has a railroad at its
doors and an abundant water supply.
Old Phoebe is getting into producing
form. Captain McSherry's new mill
will be running soon after the rail
road reaches there, while thousands
of tons of shipping ore are waiting
that same road.
There is extensive work going on
in old White Pine, and in the same
county Ely, with every stroke of the
pick, is adding to the assurance that
it will be the biggest and most per-
manent copper camp in the United
States.
North of Tuscarora, in the old
Mountain City district of gold, the
mines are yielding better than at any
time since in the late seventies.
THE Glasgow and Western has fol
several years been developing its ore
bodies until it probably has more ore
in sight than any other company in
the west. Except for the trouble OF
getting coal, the great works of the
company at Golconda would he in
full blast. BY the way, in those
works the McKuiston concentration is
installed, which for concentrating
sulphide ores is the simplest and
most wonderful machine ever de-
vised
But the new camps are attracting
most attention-Goldfield Tonopah
Bullfrog, Yerington, Fairview, Won
der, Manhattan, Seven Troughs,
Round Mountain and many others
are all showing splendidly and the
promise for next year is filled with
hope. Nothing so wonderful as Ne
vada's reawakening was ever seen in
the mining world.
THE state lay almost in a coma
for ten years until the Tonopah dis
covery turned attention that way

THE DESERT MIRAGE.

Long he has wandered Ger the des-
ert's burning face,
Till lost and alone his path he cam
not trace;
His empty, useless canister he has
now thrown aside
And in frantic search for water has
secured the desert wide.
Blinded by the glare of relentless
tropic sun
He has fallen in despair and believes
his race is run.
amt and weak and hopeless, dying,
parched with thirst,
The traveller resigns himself and
waits for the worst.
He holds his gaunt brown hand as
shield for burning eyes,
Gazing long and earnestly at the
molten-copper skies,
And the horizon. He starts and cries
aloud,
For in the hazy distance sees what
he thinks a cloud!
No. 'Tis not cloud: his maddened
brain asserts,
But a fountain cool and clear lat
bubbles, spouts and spurts!
Tis water! All, if strength will last
until he reach the brink,
Life will be saved and he will live,
if he can only drink!
Struggling weakly to his feet he casts
his load aside
And staggers on in frantic haste to
reach the saving tide.
See how it bubbles, pours and flows,
now rising in spray,
But oh, it is so far, so far-so many
miles away!
His wearied limbs refuse to run, but
still the waters CLEAN
Enticing, reckoning him to come and
revel in the stream.
But though he hastens rapidly as his
weak frame can bear
The fount as rapidly recedes-and
vanishes in air!
The sun drops slowly in the west, a
ball of living fire;
Nature draws Nights mantle close as
though twas her desire
10 shroud in black the horrid form of
twisted, swollen clay
That once was man. Ere comes an
other day
The desert creatures gaunt and thin,
the shadowy skulking beasts
Hold revel high amid the bones and
have a grisly feast.
The travellers bones are scattered far
upon the blistering sand
And none shall ever know his name,
or where his native land.
