4 uISI COHpItIc report ever uIduc Ol
, the mineral resources and production
! Of Nevada.
1t takes up the whole a,aIe iii de-
tail, by counties and by districts. 1t
! gives the authenticated figures OF pro
! ductiOn from the first activity until
the present day. Stewart has deIv
ed into ancient files OF newspapers,
into old reports, into laws and into
every record that would give him the
slightest information about the sub
iect he is treating.
Mines that produced millions years
ago, some that nave ceased to exist
even in memory, districts that once
we"~ iourishing and are now being
reopened, facts and figures by the
column and page are Included in the
work and when it is compiled, print
ed and circulated, Nevada will nave
hand book that will form the basis
for all future compilations on the sub
ject.
Ihe Importance OF this " Work can
only be realized by a perusal Of the
report Itself and the inspector is en-
whole mining industry OF the state Tor
his &rduous labor.
Stuart is to deliver an address al
the mining congress at GOldlieId. He
has entered heart and sOul into the
WORK Of showing the congress that
Nevada is the greatest min-raI dis
trict in the world, bar none. His fig
ures show that Nevada mas produc-
ed One-fOurth of the entire mineral
wealth Of the world and that her vast
mineral resources have hardly been
touched.
Each county is described as to ex-
tent, geographical aspect and geolo-
gical condition. Each district is de-
scribed in similar manner. Nearly
every producing mine in the state is
described in detail. The extent Of
the work done, the amount Of prec-
iOus metal recovered or in sight and
all the details Of operation in a gen
eral way are included.
OrmsDy county comes IN Tor her
lull share in this report. The fact
that this county contains many prec-
lous minerals unknown in any other
county in the state, is given prom
inence. Especial mention is made of
the glass sands and porcelain clays
OF this county.
The same method has been pur-
sued in treating OF other countless !
Wherever there is an exclusive re-
resource is described. The tone of |
the report is in favor Of the undevel- |
oped resources without any attempt |
at advice regarding methods to be !
pursued or costs Of development. The |
fact that certain resource is pres |
ent and should be developed is stat
ed, together with the location and eX-
tent Of the body to be developed.
AS compendium OF information
on the opportunity for future activity
the report is simply unsurpassed.
Nevada is fortunate to have in Ed !
Stuart an official who has risen to the
occasion and has performed a labor
for his state no man has heretofore
taken upon himself to perform
J,,
the congress his report viii be circu-
lated in Goldfeld and mailed broad
cast. 1t will form the basis for his
more intimate and personal report to
the governor at the end Of the term
and will be a valuable thing for all
time to come.
The Expositor says:
The meeting in Nevada of the Am
erican Mining congress ndIt Sep
tember means that some 1900 or 2O0O
representative mining men will spread
far and wide the tale of Nevada's
mineral wealth.
They will be as it wero, disciples
preaching the gospel of Neyada's true
greatnesS-a gospel because Nevada
as mining state is truly great.
The purpose Of the congress is to
bring to the state the best and most
of mining men to see
with their own eyes the rapid strides
with which scientific mining in Ne
vada has come to the front and see
and understand that which has been
up to the present time
is only a promise of far greater de-
to come.
If there were no other rewards to
no eained from the bringing together .
