MINING BOOM IS
DUE IN NEVADA
STRIKES BEING MADE, BULLION
IS BEING SHIPPED AND LAWS
ARE STRINGENT AGAINST
FRAUD.

There has not beer a mining boom
in Nevada for foul years, despite the
fact that new strikes are being made
at brief intervals and the output
from the mines is growing at such a
rate that one by one the leaders are
being overtaken and there is a strong
possibility that Nevada will land in
first place by the end of the present
year., says the Reno Gazette.
When Tonopah was struck this was
an idle, somnolent commonwealth.
The cattle lay in the lush grass, rose
up to eat and lay down again. The
hum of industry was a drone. Con-
versation was gossipy instead of
along clear cut business lines. The
state was in it's doldrums.
Then it emerged and took on a fine
frenzy. People rushed to and fro
and traded mining properties instead
of jack-knives. They adopted the
vernacular of boomers.
Everybody became an optimist in
the twinkling of an eye Women
caught the rage and ragged more
than men Money poured in and
people came with it. Goldfield was
struck. Then came the Bullforg,
followed quickly by the Rawhide and
Seven Troughs finds.
Meanwhile the builders of the,
greatest copper smelling plant in the
world were busy at Ely, as we're also
the projectors of a great mining
transporting and smelling system at
Mason Valley.
1t is little wonder, in the light of
later developments, that the whole
world went investment crazy. The
people wanted Nevada securities and
they got them, although it is regret
table that many of them we're even
worse than insecure.
Happily the state made good and
the output of bullion is making the
lucky as rich and richer than the
unlucky were impoverished, but the
latter took a fighting chance, a
gamblers chance, and the majority
of them smole and resolve to try
again.
They can make no mistake now,
unless nature proves intractable, for
the laws of Nevada provide that no
promotion stock may be sold unless
1t is so marked in plain type.
The old game of locating, incor-
%porating and then selling out the
entire issue, is as palpable and as
frowned upon as the pea and the
three shells. Stock gambling has
passed into history, so far as Nevada
is concerned, and this is true of all
other forms of gambling, for the arm
of the law is strong and far reaching
and the administrators of justice do
not sleep.
1t is also a matter for self-con-
graduation hal the harpies that
preyed upon the investing public
were o~utlanders n they have
vanished whence they came.
The men who are in the mining
game in Nevada at present have for
the most part, honest intentions.
They are keen to find ore and clever
in the development of their proper
ties. There are probably exceptions,
but these. like water, will find their
proper level in time. The day for
swindlers has passed, and Nevada
will prove to be a decidedly un-
healthy place for any men or set of
men who Use the methods of crooks
in carrying on their operations.
The time is now ripe for a legiti-
mate promotion, owing to the safe
guards that are guaranteed the in
yestors. Whenever a new strike is
reported it is investigated and the
publicity that it receives is not of the
paid sort, but is proven before print
ed.
A good. legitimate mining find to-
day in Nevada should receive the
support of the public, and it will.
Nevada has banished its promotion
harpies and the honor of the state
stands back if its opportunities for
investment, while the bullion record
is indisputable evidence of the fact
that this is the most promising min
ing state in the union, a promise that
has a guaranteed fulfllment.
Use gave me fame at first, and fame
again
