Although it is not generally known
in Reno and throughout the state, there
is at present a great deal of mining go
ing on in the Peavine mining district
and in other districts adjacent to this
city. 1t is reported by the men operat-
ing these mining claims that they are
daily finding good values and that in a
short time some discoveries will be an
nounced that will astonish the people
Of this vicinity. For many years men
have worked mines in the Peavine min
ing district and often times they found
good values, but never did they find a
strong, permanent ledge that contained
steady values. The mining men Of the
present time declare that the reason
they failed to uncover these strong
lodges was because they failed to 90
down on their properties to a proper
depth.-Gazette.
