NEVADA'S VAST PRODUCTION
OF THE WHITE METAL

Prior to 1900 Nevada had produced
something like one billion ounces of
silver. The Comstock lode yielded a
vast amount of bullion from below 1000
feet under the surface. Other great
deposits, some of silver and gold, some
of silver and lead and some of exclu-
sively silver contributed their share,
and the bulk of this silver came from
comparatively deep workings. Nevada
was known in those days as the "Silver
State.v
In 1873 the average price paid for
silver for coinage by the United tSates
was s1,314 an ounce. In 1890 it had de-
preciated to 90 cents an ounce, and in
the year 1905 it has been fuctuating
around from 80 cents to 60 cents an
ounce. The price of silver has been af-
fected by supply and demand, legisla-
tion, and administration policies; and
also by the production of gold. 1t is
reasonable to presume that silver will
continue in the future to command a
price well above the cost of production,
where the mines supplying silver have
ore in sufficient quantity and of high
enough grade to justify mining.
Nevada for a number of years was
lost sight of in the enthusiasm cngen-
dered by the great gold discoveries in
Colorado and Alaska. Many promising
mining industries were abandoned to
