Survey parties have been the at times for the last two

The route finally approved from Godfed to the Tybo
Nye County which wonderful in its only partv de-
velopd mineral wealth. and which promises with transportation
facilities rival any other known and silver district in the
United States In the Tybo district alone it is declared are mil

The proposed line will also tap the Hamilton district

The Hamilton White Pine played an important part
in the history of silver production the United States many
millions dollars in the white metal having taken from the
famous Treasure Hill This district equally rich lead ores the

The ElyGodfed will at the time open up number of
excellent low grade milling gold districts which tapped by the
survey and will add many millions Of dollars the produced
wealth of the State we'll securing tonnage be
