Your attention is respectfully called to the marked impoyeue,, !
ing conditions throughout Nevada, as brought out by the statement Of ,h~
output, the first three months Of the year. This is mor marked 49,
two quarters of the present year are compared with the first 81. ..
|of 1908. During the six months ending June 80, 1908, the total ,tuu. : :
state val 800 579 tons valued at $685. 1879, on which a bullion Ia ,.m.
ling ito $455l965 was collected.
During the sam period of the present year the total output auo,,

ing to $121 51277 as collected. This a is greater by far than for n.
tire period of 1908. Indications ar that this gratifying output will sus,u

ltion of Nevada ire such that I candot state with ssura whether !.
amount of bullion tax collected will maintain such a gratifying position =

more noticeable with the Gold6ed Consolidated Mines company, a eopondm
