GOLD regions Of
NEVADA ATTRACT

|
The gold districts of Nevada are
attracting especial attention at this
time from the fact that the ores are
more readily handled than those
which carry a percentage of silver,
lead or copper. Free milling gold
ores are at all times desirable be-
cause the fluctuations of the market
for the baser metals more or less af-
feet legitimate operations.
The north part of Nevada is a de-
sirable field for extensive operations,
for the deposits are not only free
milling in character, but at certain
points water is available for mining
ventures. South of Winnemucca is
the very favorably known Gold Bank
district, in which good values have
been secured, and a number of prop
critics are being developed aggress-
lively. In the new district of Raw
hide strong operators have taken hold
and extensive operations may be an
ticipated. The veins in this district
are very high grade and the develop
ment work so far is positive dem
onstrationthat strong and wide
shoots may be anticipated in this
gold zone at great depth. This prom

Rosebud and Seven Troughs are
also to the fore with active develop
ment work and full force is now
on the Fairview, which is owned by
the Seven Troughs Mining Company,
the Mazuma Hills, kindergarten,
Seven Troughs, Tom Boy, Heros

part of Elko county, gold property
has been successfully operated for
the past seven or eight years and the

proposed to extend the work on sucf
scale as will thoroughly explore
the known ore bodies to several hun

I osition is hardly ever heard of il
+ mining circles, yet it is one which
d is deserving of special mention from
n the fact that a force of nearly on
f hundred men have been employee,
& for several years, and the result o
g this work is the development of
e great gold mine without the sounding
d of trumpets.
