The modern camps OF Nevada were
born in the heyday of pr sperity,
when capital was seeking for invest
ment. Sylvanite was discovered just
as the tide of normal conditions has
begun to flow after a panic that al
most wrecked the republic. Moreover,
under the conditions prevailing taers
today average ore cannot be shipped
at a profit By the time leaser
has "raw-hided'' his ore down the
mountain side, hauled it by wagon to
the railroads. paid the latter local
freight rates for shipment, and paid
smelling charges. he win have paid
about $25 on esch ton of ore shipped.
When 1t is considered that a steady
output of even ten dollar rock Is
enough to make an unusually rich
mine, the adverse conditions the
miners of Sylvanite must contend with
may be appreciated. Until the claim
and lease holders Aave organized cor-
panies and sold stock sufficient to
insure a reasonable supply of working
capital there will be 10 very profit
able mining done, except In the in
stances of-rich pockets being found.
The fact that several shipments al
ready have been made with profitable
returns is incontroyertible evidence
of the richness of some portions of tae
properties In this connection. the
steady output of the Gold Hill prop
erty for about four months past under
the retarding circumstances mention
ed should be an index to the zones

The writer, being a layman in min

that of all those who have been there,
H. e., that it has a splendid surface

What would prove a boon to the
exploitation of the new camps lodges

w railroads tonnage from that po'nt,
as well as the shelters trade with
Sylvanite, would be the establishment
at nearby point of a sampler, where
the small shipper could deliver ore
to be sampled by an expert and paid
for Immediately according TO the lat
ter's estimate. IN this manner leasers
who now are piling ore on their
dumps could get enough ready cash
to increase their working force and
by cumulative. gain constantly double
the output of their properties. Such
an arrangement would prove of in
ealculable value to all concerned.
