RENO men PRAISE SEVEN.
TROUGHS DISTRICT
Members Of the Nevada Commercial LEAGUE
Are Pleased With Conditions
Existing There

There is ample scope for enterprise
in the district. Choice leases could
doubtless be secured, at reasonable
terms. The district, although staked,
has not been thoroughly explored,
but the showing of the developed
/ mines is such as to Warrent the high
est expectations for the future. We
believe that within very short while
Seven Troughs will be known as one
of the greatest, if not indeed, the
greatest mining camp in the state.
lu's great extent, the regularity of
the vein system, exceptionally steady
values obtained throughout the de-
veloped mines, the substantial work
done and being done, and the mills
now being erected, all combine to
give the fullest confidence in this dis
trict.
Generally speaking, however, once
the valley of the Humboldt is left, an
arid or semi-arid, country is enter ed,
suitable only for raising bands of
sheep or herds of cattle. The popu-
la tion, therefore, is very sparse and
the town though small. yet, from the
great territory tributary to them, are
very prosperous. Business is done
on large scale, particularly in sheep
and cattle, and the raising Of feed.
The mercantile establishments are
often surprisingly large and prosper
GUS and money appears to be free and
continually in use.
Loyelock is the first town of i'm
portance east of Reno. Many great
improvements are noted. Good build.
ings have been erected during the
past year, indicating continued pros
perity and confidence in the future.
The mercantile establishments report
good business and good prospects and
all are apparently doing well.
All the freight for the Seven
Troughs district goes to Lovelock,
which is situated about 80 miles to
the northwest. The quality of the
road is only fair.
The Seven Troughs district was not
covered through its entire length by
the members of the party, but the
three miles between Vernon and MAJ
una, were quite thoroughly examined,
and the several mining men in the
party had ample opportunity to go
over the ground and to examine the
workings to the fullest extent. The
principal properties examined were
the kindergarten, Mamma Hills, Sew
en- Troughs Mining, Fairview and Bad
ger llill These properties are sit
uated in the heart of the district
which extends northerly and south
erly a total distance Of about twelve
miles. We were informed that at the
town of Farrell, about 9 miles north
erly from Mazuma, very good prop.
perties are being opened up and there
seems to be no reason for doubling
the statement
Between Mazuma and Seven Troughs
there are three distinct wins travers-
ing the district, and each Of these
carries good values wherever explored
and in places is very high grade. The
whole party were surprised at the
showing. Seven Troughs is probably
the least advertised of all the mining
districts of the state, but it is safe to
say that there is not more substan-
tial district in the whole of Nevada.
Lovelock tribune. (Lovelock, Nev.) 1898-1912, 1908-04-24

The following is taken from a cir
cular letter sent out by the Com
mercial League of Reno, giving a
good description of their recent trip
to this district:
A party Of twenty-five members
of the Commercial League visited
Lovelock, Seven Troughs and Jessup
last week. The visit resulted in
much good to Reno, and we believe
was not without benefit to the places
visited The entertainment of the
party was most liberal, and care was
taken at all the places visited, to
show the members Of the party every
thing possible in the short space of
time at their disposal.
In this connection it should be stat
ed that these excursions are not mere
iunketing trips. They are made with
a serious business end in veiw. 1t il
most essential, if Reno is to maintain
her position as the leading CONNER
cial and social center of the state,
that her citizens and business men
should know first hand the conditions
obtaining in other sections. They
should be acquainted with the trans
portation conditions, with the bases
for credit in the various cities and
towns, and they should know what
progress is being made in mining and
agriculture. Social contact with
other cities is also most advantageous
to both visitors and visited, and can
not but result in much good. Mines
have been developed and there would
seem to be no reason to doubt that
the expenditures on milling plants by
the Mazuma Hills M & NJ. Co, and
the Seven Troughs kindergarten NJ.
Co., are thoroughly warranted and
that they both have more than a suf-
ficiency of ore already developed to
keep the mills running for long
time to come. We heard of further
milling capacity proposed, one mill of
twenty stamps and one of ten. We
do not doubt that with the extensive
work now going on, and the solidity
of the camp, that these also are war.
ranted and that plenty of custom ore
would be available.
The kindergarten Mill being con-
structed by the Nevada Engineering
Works of Reno, is fast approaching
completion. The foundations are COM
plete and the power plant in place
and set up. The structural frame
work for the mill is also up, and the
batteries on the ground. The whole
plant seems to be well planned and
built for permanent use. 1t should
be in operation within few weeks.
1t should be stated that all Of the
development work seen in the district
lis of the most thorough description
and must express in large measure
the confidence of the owners of the
mines. 1t would be difficult for US to
conway any impression of the great
ness of the camp without using stero-
typed, boom, phrases, but we must
say it is most unfortunate that a more
general knowledge of the vastness
of the mineral riches of tie Seven
Troughs district does not exist. We
certainly recommend that both Reno
merchants and investors who did not
/ accompany the League, should visit
the camp for their own good.

Gaynor and associates have one of
the most promising properties in the

property in the near future.
Lovelock never looked more pros
porous than now Everywhere build
ing is going on and in half a dozen
places the streets are almost i'm
passabe on account of piles of brick,
lumber and other building material.
While this causes little inconven-
fence nobody minds it because all the
buildings in course of erection will
add much to the appearance to the
town.
