Mining SITUATION
IN HUMBOLDT co.
(By Frank l.. Reber.)

Never in the history of Humboldt
county was the mining situation of
such promise and forecast as it is to-
day. In every direction radiating
from the county seat is a like mani
festation through the persistent and
Ibsistent development and discoveries
made through the pioneer of discov-
cry, the earnest prospector and seeker
for wealth. In all Nevada 3 greatness
was never such a period fraught with
great and good things for metal pro.
duction and those useful minerals
which enter into commerce and the av-
cry day needs of man. Particularly is
this field of enterprise and whole
some occupation propitious for an era
Of prosperity such as Humboldt coun-
ty has never enjoyed.
In gold, silver, copper, lead and
other subsidiary minerals this county
excells.
In detail the county has National,
Rebel Creek, Dyke, Awakening, Bar
rett Springs Winnemucea mountain,
Paradise HILL with environs, Ade.
laid, Golconda, Mill Canyon,
Chafey, Min City, Humboldt, Black
Canon, Jungo, sulphur, Unionville,
Seven Troughs and the latest, which
in miraculous showings offers the
richer and more industrious promise of
anything heretofore sen in this rich
northland of Nevada.
The new district is one of ideal stu
alton. Geographically it has that
primary base wherein one conversant
with the fortunatus features of
Mother Earth will look for strong,
permanent and lasting bodies of ore
such as may be housed within such
formations. This evidence at Roehes-
ter is "A most foreeful reminder that
within that area millions of gold and
silver have been taken from the
gulches and mountain sides, and that
these fortunes of nearby canons, such
as Sacramento, Limerick, American,
South American, Rye Patch and kin
red af1nities aggregate $4,000, 600,
with the country hardly scratched.
Thus associated, Rochester Canon, out
side of its phenomenal showings, can
assure that the days gone by are a
guaranty of greatness, but listen 20
this: Outside of the five owners and
leasers shipping from this mountain
of wealth and gaining rich, profitable
reeompense on these liners and show
ings which allow the prophesy that
the new camp viii be the premier of
humboldt county, viz, the main lead
eoursing for over 1900 feet with out
crop. with the trend and apex Of the
mountain, showing an average width
Of four feet returns in composite, sur
face, grass roots and average returns
of $27 per ton. immense Nothing for
uniformity and consistency has been
beheld i'm the state before.
In addition to this marvellous sign
of immense tonnage and great wealth
are other parallel leads throwing val
ues and showing either native or gold
associated wit silver.
Nearby. in Limerick and Sacramen-
TO eanons, likewise are lead deposits
witch are of commercial Importance
and full of the assurance that the dis
tiet will be more than gold and sill
yer belt.
Strange as it may seem, for 90
wears prospeeters tramped over this
lonanza and overlooked it until JOS
i. Manzel cmae along and with pros
pectors s magic touch revealed TO the
mining world this new field to en-
gage the attention of the mine maker
and wealth seeke;
There is no discount on the south
cpd Of HUMBOLDT range.
II is nonsense for anyone TO rush IN
there at this time though, unless pre-
prepared to cover the task which
IS associated with new and not
fully developed section In short
while a dozen leasers in addition to
the FIVE shippers will be transporting
TO reduction points.
National camp is showing fine I'M
provemcnts with the high grade shoot

Awakening has fine ore bodies eX-
roaei ready for mill and OF sueh

tion Of cheap power and milling ta-
cilities.
Chafey in in the producing class
again.
The Black Canon property, out from
lmav, through the management OF
IIarry Hunter. has revealed IN block
over $250.O00 worth of ore. THIS IS
only apartial resume of the splendid
