lowed even the remotely located
lead-silver properties of the country
to operate at good profit there was
no district in Nevada commanding
greater attention in the mining world
nor productive of larger profits in
proportion TO monies expended than
Cherry Creek Gold. silver and lead
were the principal products from
these pioneer mining enterprises and
though it was necessary in those ear
ly days to, meet the heavy outlay of
funds for bringing machinery and
supplies overland for hundreds of
miles, besides paying the enormous
expenses of hauling over the same
routes minerals and bullion from the
mines, exceedingly large returns were
secured by the men who invested
their money for the development of
the district.
Millions of dollars in profits ac-
crued to the parties who undertook
to develop the mineral resources of
the district in the early days and that
much larger wealth will be produced
here in the future is bound to be-
come the belief and prediction of any
and all who will take the trouble to
make an investigation. In the very
near future the much needed facili-
ties for treatment of ores for elm
mating exorbitant costs which the
companies We're compelled to meet
will be at hand. The Steptoe Smelt-
ing ami Mining Co. will not be long
in the completion of their works and
ready for handling custom ores and
besides there are railroad facilities
which in the days that have gone
seemed a luxury.
Advantages which in those days ON
ly existed in imaginations of the pio-
neers are soon to be of realization;
heavy expenditures from hauling of
bullion and ores and treatment of
minerals which were most serious
barrier to successful operations will
be removed so that the passing of
comparatively insignificant period of
time will place Cherry Creek in a
position to again command its due at
tention in mining circles throughout
the country. Then will be witnessed
a rejuvenation of activity and added
growth sufficient to establish the dis
trict permanently among the most
prominent. The section will assume
and maintain an attitude of actual
prosperity heretofore unrealized and
only silently but confidently hoped
for AMI an expansion will be devel-
oped nothing short of astonishing to
the many not only abroad but in the
immediate sections who now but cas-
ually refer to the districts wonder
full possibilities.
In anticipation of what is to come
In the not distant days the mining
companies compelled to suspend OPP
erations during the destructive de-
preston period which is fast lapsing
into mere memory are taking on
new life and vigor and making prep
arations for reaping from the long
number of prosperous years ahead
the largest possible wealth. Proper
ties here forced to idienessl because
of the late panic as well as others

low ebb during the early history of
the camp, are being placed in readi-
ness for large production of precious
metals. Men are being employed in
every quarter for the carrying for
ward of larger and more elaborate
plans than ever before and the steps
already afoot mean but the conn
menceme mt of extensive operations.
Noteworthy in every sense of the
word among the present producers
of Cherry Greek district are the prop
critics of the Glasgow and Western
Exploration Co.. the Biscuit Mining
Co., ada-British Mining Co.,
Mother Lode Mining Co, Old Impe-
rial Mining Co., Cherry Greek Mines
Co., Stewart Gold Mines Holding Co,
and the Black Metal Co. Besides
these properties there are number
of others north, south and west of
Cherry Greek directly tributary to
the place and within reasonable dis
lance SO that the town is located at
point making it the most conven-
lent and advantageous point for dis
tribution of supplies and to which all
ores and bullion will first be shipped
en- route TO the Nevada Northern rail-
road and thence to reduction works
at McGill.
Foremost in Importance among the
properties tributary to Cherry Creek
is the Vulcan property, located some
30 miles distant in a westerly direc-
ton. The Vulcan for some time has
been leader in silver and lead pro-
duction and its immensely ricn and
extensive ore bodies will eventually
be developed to point placing 1t
along side of the heaviest and most |
successful producers. Next comes |
the Dexteretta property, which ad-
joins the Vulcan. The Dexteretta is
still in its infancy and from every in
of the developments thus far
carried forward will uncover on its
property the same rich ore bodies
already being blocked out in its val
