beyond the ken of the present genera
ton.
In her output of the yellow and
white metals Nevada is now second
only to Colorado. She outstripped
Alaska and California in 1907-S. She
has left Utah, Montana, Idaho, South
Dakota, Arizona and the other states
which produce gold and silver, far be-
hind. All of this she has accomplished
within five years. During this com
p%aratively short period she has risen
from obseurity in mineral production
to second place. With her rate of in
crease now more rapid than it has ever
been, it is a moral certainty within a
year or two she will distance Colorado,
and will lead the Union in the produc-
ton of gold and silver.
Taking into consideration the many
new camps that have arisen and will
arise to add to the total output of the
state, remembering that a goodly pro-
portion of the properties which are now
prospects will be developed into mines,
and that the production of many of the
new mines will undoubtedly be heavily
increased, it is wholly reasonable to
conclude that the years Immediately
ahead of us will each show as material
a progress as did 1907 and 1906. This
will carry the production in five years
beyond the exceedingly impressive
amount of $4,000, 900 a year. 1t must
be borne in mind that gold and silver
alone are being considered. With the
great copper showings at Ely and else
where, this metal will become a more
and more important factor in Nevada's
mineral wealth.
The output of the Comstock made
enormous fortunes, supplied the mt ans
for the starting of great industries.
saved the credit of the nation. Yet,
with many mining districts instead of
one contributing to the production of
Nevada, il can hardly be doubted that
the Comstoek yield eventually will be
o~vershadowed. and that the new Ne
vada. with her wealth much more
widely distributed than was the ease
in the palmy days of old, will cause the
Nevada Of the glistening 7os pale by
comparison.

New York, Aug. II, (Special.)-T
market continues it's upward swing.
The report of a week ago that Harri-
man has come to the aid of Gould,
seems to be credited not only by the
but by financial authorities.
The old Standard Oil crowd is said to
be lined up behind Hartman in his
effort to bring about better conditions,
not only in the stock markets, but also
in the railway world. Thos. w. Lawson
is out with more picturesque advertis.
ing, in which he likens the investing
public to asses in a poppy field, adj
vises them to buy before the bull move
eliminates and predicts 225 for Union
Pacific, 210 for st. Paul AMI 100 for
Shelters.
The campaign for an increase in
freight rates goes on without abate'
ment; it is pointed out as an argument
in favor of the increase that although
gross earnings increased tremendously
during the fat year of 1906, the net
earnings of the principal trunk lines
actually decreased thirty or forty mil
lion dollars in spite of the enormou
business being done. Such thorough
railway men as w. C. Brown and
President Newman of the New York
Central, say that freight rates must
up, if railway service is to be kept
on its present broad plane of efficiency.
An advance in freight rates confirmed
by those governing boards, state and
national, which have the right to regu-
late, would be followed by a genuine
bull market; of this there can be no
doubt, and it is possibly because large
financial interests believe that rate rails
ing would be brought about, that the
markets are moving upward so continu-
ously and so rapidly.
/ expect a moderate reaction to set
in within the next week or ten days. l
believe that this reaction will carry
New York stocks down a little but that
any reaction can be permanent is unbe-
lievable.

National, New, Aug. 10, 1908.
editor Gnldfald NawS

National, New, Aug. 10, 1908.
Editor Goldfeld News.
Dear sir-Having had a great MANY
inquiries as to the merits of this camp
from parties in and near your city, ]
intend to give out a few more facts
about National, a district including
three different mountains. Leasers are
busy and at least five different leases
have a very good showing. j. Harvey
and associates have a nice chance on
the mountain to the south of town, some
ore going nearly 500 per ton. On the
Auto claim leases Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 all
have some good ore and lease No. l is
sacking ore. This is operated by
Walker brothers. On lease No. 2 F1em-
ing and Jarvis are sinking and have en-
eountered values as high as 156 ounces
in gold and 142 ounces silver. Some
very rich specimens have been found
that are simply lousy with free gold.
Bradford and Kendall have a fine
chance on the adjoining block.
Crossing the ridge to the south past
the Walker lease and the reserve of the
company You come to Brown and Gun
dy's lease where they have just struck
ore that pans gold in pay quantities
and is very literally filed with horn
silver. This ore will probably run 5000
or better. About one-half mile to the
east Gayer and Donaldson have opened
a vein of soft quartz and tale that
shows horn and ruby silver. the tale
assaying as high as $112. This letter
is written to state facts. as the bows
leasing know that they nave to produce
the smelter returns during such quie.
times that they will make the camp and
line their w and their associates
pockets with gold only in one way, that
is, to make good and one rarely hears
anyone knocking. Personally the writer
firmly believes in the camp and while
1T is new. takes the facts and figures
without fear or favor and declares that
one more meritorious camp is born and
1t is in the class of either Tonopah or
Goldield or both with the developments
50 far. Respectfully,
c. X. JARVIS.

Alfred Dav. a mining man OF eonsiu
cradle experience, has been making d
study of the formation here and says
to the Yerington Times:
al have spent about three months
inc over the Mt. Grant district M VIII
saw the district is well mineralized, put
;s far behind many other districts that
have none of the advantages found
here. Here you nave plenty of timber
for mining purposes and an abundance
of water in most places. What Is
needed is better roads. 1t is 10 miles
to Hawthorne, with a streteh Oh roa"
that it is impossible to haul more tnah
500 pounds over with a good team
From Dutch creek we are ten miles
with only two or three miles OF wagon
road and a trail that is almost impass-
able. There is a good road through
Wheeler Pass, with the exception OF
about three miles, that could be com
pleted in ten days with twelve men
and a team; this would be the best
route to Yerington and l understand
would cut off ten miles. This road could
be made so autos could get in this DIS
triet. then capital would come in here
and there is no question that there
would be some big properties openeu
up. If the county commissioners would
onlv take hold of this matter and com
plete the Wheeler Pass route 1t would
not only bring capital in but would
make a good market for the Yerington
merchants and the farmers on the
| Walker river. When the Bullfrog DIS
triet was first opened it was l25 miles
from a railroad and freight was from
3 to 5 cents a pound, and yet millions
of dollars went into the district where
water was scarce and the nearest fuel
was IA miles distant. Some develop
ment work has been done here and
water and wood is plentiful, and yet It
is as expensive to mine here as 1t was
in the early days at Bullfrog. What we

bonanzas. For the matter of that, the
Kearns No. 2 is already one of the
states most promising mines. 1t is
sending 40 tons of 5000 per ton ore to
smelter each week, is filed with high
grade milling ore from surface to low
est level and will produce several mil
lion dollars worth of golden treasure be-
fore the lease expires by time limita-
ton.
The Nat Proskey lease, now the prop
erty of the Rawhide Operating Syndi-
cate, is showing up to better advantage
every day, and seems destined to de
velop into a salt supporting proposition
before the close of the year. The hold
ing is already in ore, but at the present
depth the deposit is streaked and
values are not uniform. There is little
question, however, but what further
development at greater depth will re-
suit in the finding of an extensive de-
post of permanent precious metal
worth. 1t is also probable that the ex-
pense entailed in locating the perma-
ment pay ore ZONE will not be large, and
that it is situated but little below the
present depth of the main working
shaft.
Tarpey brothers, leasing on the Bull
Pup claim, are mining $40 per ton ore
in the drift from the 100-foot level.
They have several tons of that class of
product piled at surface, and blocked
out below ground is a vastly greater
tonnage. The first shipment will go to
mill Just as soon as plans for its reduc-
ton can be made. In the interim the
shaft is to be lowered another so feet,
where crosscuts will again be run over
to ledge contact. This holding is con-
sidered one of the very best on the east
slope of Balloon hill, not even excepting
the March Rose.
Work has been suspended at the Big
Four lease on the estate of the Man-
haitian Consolidated Mines company
owing to refusal on part of the man
agement to establish a seni-monthly
pay day, in accordance with the rules
of the local miners union. 1t is i'm
possible to state at this time what
further action will be taken. 1t is but
justice to state that as a general prop
oS;tiop tho minorc, un;op iS uarran+ad
in standing out for a semi-monthly pay
day as many of it's members have
hitherto been cheated by dishonest or
INDECENT lease arrangements. So far
as the Big Four lease is concerned
there is no question of ability or in
~clination on part of its owners to
promptly meet all obligations, but for
some reason they have to date refused
to subscribe to the unions demand. In
further extenuation of the stand taken
by the union, and simply in the interest
of fair play, your representative will
state that he has personal knowledge
of half dozen instances where miners
have been beaten out of their wages
here. To the unbiased mind it would
appear as though the laborer were as
worthy of his hire as is the mine owner
to his high grade. This being true it
becomes apparent that the former is
entitled to take any reasonable steps
to protect himself against sure thing
operators.

NEVADA HAS 161 MINING CAMPS

There are 16l mining camps in this
state, of which about half have made
records or are making them. Accord
ing to the careful figures of Capt. j. B.
Menardi, the total production of all the
camps of Nevada since discovery has
been close to a billion of dollars.
The Comstock has turned out $475,-
100000. In another year conditions
will be such that the lower levels will
be approachable and there is not a man
who is familiar with the old lode who
does not sincerely believe hat another
bonanza will them be revealed. 1t is
known that rich veins are in those
depths.
Goldfeld and Tonopah have so far
produced over $50, OOO, 900. With the
known conditions in those districts it

do not mean to predict a return to
panic conditions in the latter part Of
1911 or 1912, but / do predict such a
business decline as always follows a
high pressure period. Lawson is right
when he says that this is buying time,
and that those who purchase securities
now, even after the substantial gains
already made, will make good profits,
provided they do not allow themselves
to be scared out of their holdings by in
cipient bear drives.
The mining market is broadening
constantly. Stocks are coming to life
oH INC CuID, Witch tHIet mohths asV
seemed to be absolutely dead. Interest
in the Nevada market is becoming alb
sorbant. Combination Fraction has a
larger body of followers than any other
curb stock, save perhaps, Goldfeld Con
solidated, Cumberland Ely and Nevada
Consolidated. The signs are unmistak-
able that Goldfeld stocks will be very
active this fall and winter, and it is not
to be doubted that there are many
points of profit in good Goldfeld stocks
even in the prospects selling around
few cents a share.
Among the coppers, Cumberland BY
and Miami appear to be safe and sure
profit arners.
Combination Fraction looks good fF
a further advance. The drift on the
third level has been advanced about 10
feet in ten feet of 800 ore. The cross
cut from the 600-foot level found tne
vein averaging $50. 1t is fgurea'
however, in spite of this Disappointing
development, that Fraction can hgue
on at least from So, 1000, 900 to $3,ooo,VV'

tify a So price for the stock.

MINERAL WEALTH OF.
THE SAGEBRUSH STATE

The following article from the Won
der Mining News, compiled by j. Her
bert Welch, is based upon preliminary
reports of the Geological Survey for
1907:
The remarkable progress which Ne
vada is making in mineral production is
indicated by the Geological Surveys
preliminary estimate of the output OF
gold and silver in the year 1907. This
estimate fixes the commercial value of
the gold produced in this state in 1907
at $14, 705. 65S, and the value of the
silver at So, 126,556. The total value
of the gold and silver mined in Nevada
was, according to these authentic fig
ures, $l9,s31,2l4. The value of the gold
mined in Nevada in 1906 was $9,17S,-
600, and the value of the state silver
output was $S,524,972, making the total
value in 1906 $12, sO3,572. The total
advance of 1907 over 1906 in the pro
duetion of these metals amounted to
$7,O27, 642.
This rate of progress is made the
more notable by the fact that in 1907
Nevada was afflicted by adverse condi-
tions that seriously impaired produc-
tion. In the spring were the Goldfield
labor troubles. which caused a suspen
sion of operations for a considerable
period on almost all the properties of
the Goldfeld district. In the summer
began the financial depression, which
greatly retarded, of course, develop
ment work and mineral production
throughout the state.
There are no more labor troubles. The
Oppressive monetary conditions are dis
appearing. Goldfeld and Tonopah are
rising to new records of production. A
large number of new camps have
doomed up this spring, and a eonsid-
cradle proportion of these will un-
doubtedly contribute materially to the
production of the state. And older
camps. that suffered a temporary
eclipse during the slump. are again
coming to the front. There are many
indications that the gold and silver
production of Nevada will be greater
in 1908 than it was in 1907; that with
all the lettering influences eliminated
from the situation, 1909 will show =
heavy increase over 1905, and that the
yearly production will become larger
and larger for a period extending far
