And both we're poor
Both sat with children when ihe day was dope.

One saw the beautiful in crimson cloud
And shining moon;
The other, with his head in sadness bowed,
Made night of noon.
One loved each tree and flower and singing bird

No music in one was stirred
By leaf or rain.
One saw the good in every fellow man,
And hoped the best;

Nevada Is one of the most richly
mineralized zones in the world.
Statistics show that Nevada is Sec
ond to California in gold output, a
fact not generally known. She has
produced $1,544,8O0,00 in round
numbers, of the precious metal.
She has produced more than
Alaska.
More than Australia.
More than Colorado and Montana
combined.
She has produced more than
Montana, Utah, Idaho, Oregon and
Arizona combined . Nevada COM
prises fourteen counties, mining dis
tricts almost in every county.
The mines of Nevada go down. This
is a demonstrated fact, not a theory.
The deepest mining in America has
been carried on in Nevada. The low
er levels in the Comstock are OF the
5000 feet levels in ore. Eureka
reaches a depth Of 1900 feet, Austin
1900 feet; Phoebe 1900 feet; Cali
fornia 1900; Tuscacora 1000, and
Tonopah is now 1900 feet in depth.
The veins have depth, size and per-
manency. There are a score of camps
in Nevada which attained a depth of
1000. In Colorado they only have
Leadville 1900 feet, and Cripple

Creek 1000. In Montana only Butte
$500 and in Utah only Park City l.
500 feet and Centennial and Grand
Junction 1900 feet in depth.
While there are uncomputed tons
of low grade ore Nevada Is famous as
a producer of high-grade ores. From
the Brason Hill, one carload milled
100000. From Humboldt county
one carload brought 100000. One
mine, the Consolidated Virginia, pro-
duced $4,000, 900. in dividends.
The ores of Tonopah shipped have
averaged 5000 per ton. Many tons
go into thousands. Assays from the
Hathorne district run in gold, some
Goldfeld ore runs 100000 per ton.
The ores in Nevada as compared with
other states have been high grade.
There are many factors that enter
into the industry of mining. None
are more important that the question
of locality, not only in reference to
the richness of the ores; but to the
question of fuel, water, transporta-
ton, accessibility and climate.
Nature has ~fascinatingly written
the story of her mysterious mineral
richness on her hills and mountains.
She has painted the story of colors
of brown, and red and gray and black
so the geogolists can read with
ease. She has, by veins, dykes and
reefs monumented her mystery, so

of history have been discovered by
mere accident and the cost of a few
dollars.
The location of a mine is simply
a question of faith, persistence and
luck. The development of a nine is
a question of capital, intelligence and
honesty. 1t is a question of careful
calculations between the cost of pro-
duction and the value per ton. A
question of the same nature that con-
fronts the merchant, if he would
make lbs business successful. But
the merchant must always sell his
goods subject to ~fuctuating markets,
while gold has a staple value and un-
limited market. The manufacture is
constantly at the mercy of the law
of supply and demand. The merchant
and business man must count on a
percentage of loss for bad debts. In
mining there is no such loss. The
advantage, therefore is largely with
the miner, compared with the bust
ness man when losses and market
are considered.
Mining investments intelligently
made are far more preferable to most
investments offered by industrials and
railroads; and while to the man who
desires to invest in mining stock
there is more or less uncertainty if
he will but satisfy himself as to the
personnel of the company; and the
possibilities of the locality in which

AN PAPER.

Miss Weir recently received for
the Nevada Historical society a copy
of the New York Weekly Herald for
November IL, 1864. On the first
page is an account of the admission
of Nevada into the union. But what
is more interesting still IS a map OF
the new state showing the boundary
lines as they were at that time. On
the east the 80 degree meridian west
from Warling marks the division be-
tween Utah and Nevada. This cor
responds to 116 degrees west of
Greenwich and gives to Utah Elko
and Eureka and all the land lying
east of these towns. On the south
the boundary is the 37th parallel
leaving to Arizona Las Vegas the
Muddy" and all the country south.
Tahoe is marked Lake Bigler and
south of the lake. instead of Genoa
and Carson is a place marked "Mor-
mon settlement" The paper will be
framed and will then be exhibited in
the rooms of the society, says the
Reno Gazette.
