bankers organization at Reno, L. F.
Adamson, state bullion tax collector,
delivered an address upon the min
eral otput of the state from which
the following excerpts have been tax
en-:
Lincoln County
During the year 1909 Lincoln coun
y produced 1898 tons of ore value
at $511 1881 SO; in 1910 only 100 tons,
valued at $10,640, tdue to the rail
road washout) and for the first six
months of 1911, 1926 tons of the va
Ne of 46,775.69.
White Pine County
White Pine county produced in
1909, l, 67S,S95 tons of ore principal
copper) of the value of $7114, 354.19 /;
during 1910, 2,407,462 tons, 1852, 400
81; during the first six months of
1911, 1,413,065 tons, $4,326, 52949. Thi
county which during the late COS and
early 7O's was the largest silver pro-
ducing county in the state, and which
for over twenty years lay dormant as
mining section, is today one of the
largest producers Of copper in the
world.
EsmeraIda County
Esemralda county produced in 1909.
527 $40 tons of ore of a value of Sill,
466, 677. S5; in 1910, 459,S01 tons &c.
5S7 ,S33.59; during first six months of
1911, 2S0,333 tons $6,022,210.71. 1t is
impossible to do this county justice
i'll a limited paper of this nature. The
ioldfield Consolidated Mines compan.
tf3sably the richest gold producer of
the world today, has been previously
mentioned. It's wonderful group of
mines has high grade milling ore
blocked out for years ahead and large
acreage of undeveloped territory that
doubtless contains untold wealth. It's
new million and a quarter dollar gold
mill is now turning out bullion from
300 tons Of ore per ady and the prop
erty has maintained a dividend rate
Of so cents per share per quarter
for considerable time past
Humboldt County
This county produced during the
year 1909, SS46 tons of ore of value
# $3.50, 1886; during 1910, 1850 tons,
S1,4l5, 203.59, and during the first six
months of 1911, 1856 tons $74S, 44897.
| want to particularly call your at
tention to the almost unbelievable
grade OF the small quantity of ore ex-
tracted during 1910. Humboldt coun-
ty, one of the largest counties in the
state, has been but little prospected
n comparison with other sections
out what has been done along these
lines has been productive of most
astounding results.
Nye County
This county produced during 1909
574,S27 tons of ore Of an aggregate
value of S5,740, 51S15; during 1910,
sol ,435 tons, $9,051, 441.27, and for the
first six months of 1911, 1853, 401 tons,
S4,S52, 952.44.
Nye county boasts the greatest
number Of producers of any county
in the state.
Storey County
This county for 1909 shows an ore
tonnage OF S3,04S valued at$643,511.7,
during 1910, 1880 tons, 1854 ,S66.16
and for the first six months of 1911
43,515 tons, 1901, S90.51. While the e,
citing times of the old Comstock day
will probably never be revived, whel
chat fabulously rich lode was pourin,
it's Kings ransom into the lap of al
otherwise impoverished nation, we
every indication points to its taking
new lease of life and giving u
additional treasure with bountefu
! hand.
Eureka County
| Eureka county has produced dul
} ing the year 1903, 102,622 tons of or
CT gross value OF $S15,09S.96; durir
l 1910, its output was 29,59Stons value
} at $1Sl, 146.53; for the first six mont
( Of 1911, 1882 tons, 2,23704. Th
S great falling off in the production q
! shown by these figures is due to tn
complete decentralization of transpo
tation facilities occasioned by an III
/. precedented series of cloudbursts al
