White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1911-01-15

900 head of sheep were shipped to
market, bringing top notch prices.
The state furnished wool from 7 ,00O,-
900 sheep the past year. Conditions
on the ranges are much better than
last winter, the season being far be-
hind that of a year ago and promis-
ing much milder conditions. Stock
is in fine shape, with an abundance
of feed"
Years Bullion Output.
State Bullion Tax Collector Con-
sidine says. The bullion output of
Nevada for 1910 will make the larg-
est showing since the palmy days of
the Comstock. This is the more re-
markable when we consider that
three producing counties-Lincoln
Eureka and Lander-were practical
ly put out of business through the
floods of last winter, and the only
producing camp of a fourth tHum-
boldt.) was tied up by litigation dur
ing the first quarter of the year.
But while the mines of Phoebe,
Eureka, Austin and National were
thus handicapped, Tonopah, Gold
field and Ely were more than making
up the difference. For instance, Nye
county, in which Tonopah is situated,
while producing about S3.750,000 in
1909, will have close on $4,000 goo
10 its credit for 1910. Esmeralda
county, in which Goldfield is situat-
ed, produced about $4,000, 600 last
year. The 1910 output will be some
where between $11. 000, 900 and
S12, 000, 000. The two counties,
which had a total of about $4,000
600 to their credit in 1909, will reg
lister an output of more than $780,
900, 600 for 1910.
National Wonderful District.
"A more remarkable increase than
either of those is to be found in the
output of Humboldt county, due to
the marvellous development of Ma
tional. Although the aggregate is
not so great, the value per ton is
surprising. The bullion tax returns
show that about a third of the ore
from National ran over S25, coo a ton
and the total for the last quarter re-
ported was s6S6,461.7S. the product
of 651 ton of ore in.
There has been a marked in
crease in the output of Ely owe thai
of 1903 and these four counties. Es-
meralda. Nye. White Pine and Hum
boldt, alone will give Nevada an
output of more than $4,000, 900 for
the year 1910.
Add to this the output from
counties like Storey. Clark, Lyon,
Churchill. Lincoln, Washoe, Land
er and Eureka. and take into con-
sideration the fact that the returns
from mines which do not give a
profit over the cost of production are
commonly omitted from the reports
of a number of assessors, and il is
not owe stepping the bounds of o
servatism TO estimate the mineral
output of Nevada for the year 1910
at something in the neighborhood OF
$40. 900, 900.
with the railroads in Lincoln,
Eureka and Lander counties restored
and with the continued increase in
the output of Nye, Esmeralda. Hum
boldt and White Pine counties ma
turally TO be expected. | should not
be surprised to see the output for
the coming year soar to $50. 00O,-
00O."
"Wildcatting No Longer Menace.
The judieious laws that have been
passed in Nevada for the prevention
of "wildcatting," such as heretofore
caused almost i~rreparable injury to
the mining interests and the good
name of the state. r gradually
bringing a restoration of confidence
in mining investments and will with
the passing of time result in a full
restoration thereof by proving TO in
Yestors that the people OF the state
propose to act in good faith and in
sist on a square deal for every per-
son who puts his money into mining
enterprise in Nevada.
The state is progressing and will
continue to progress. 1t has the
greatest mineral resources of any
commonwealth in the union, and
with the thorough elimination of the
"W~ildeatters.' its varied resources
will continue to attract the attention
and investment of capital for de
Yelopment on the broadcast and most
substantial lines.
The railroads report an encourag-
ing traffic, both into and out of the
state. the shipments of livestock be
ing greater than any in previous
history. The building of the West
ern Pacific through the state has con.
~tributed its share TO the general pros
perity. The n. c. & o. railroad
building into Oregon, opening M
virgin fields of rich agricultural
lands. tributary TO Reno. and the Ne
vada Copper Belt road. with its
transportation facilities from the
Yerington district. have added much
to the general welfare of Nevada.
General Business Improved.
Business in general i'm the state of
Nevada for the past year has shown
steady and marked improvement
We now have in operation across our
state three great transcontinentaI
railroads. one of which is new and
