NEVADES MINERAL WEALTH

Virginia City naturally leads
the record of Nevada's mineral
output by turning into the worlds
money supply $64.0O0,OOO prac-
tically in ten years.
This money lifted San Francisco
into city of increased wealth and
population and laid the foundation
of the fortunes of scores of
millionaires. 49,.
While the Comstock slept Tono-
pah and Goldfield alone, discovered
less than ten years ago. are pro-
ducing today more annually than
the combined output of Alaska.
Goldfield contains the greatest
gold mine in the world. This
mi ne has paid six millions in
dividends in five years.
Tonopah has the greatest gold
and silver mines in the world.
The output of two mines alone in
this camp is. twice as great as the
annual production Of the Coholt
dlstri t in Canada.
in this camp one can walk
through the underground workings
on one vein of ore a distance of a
mile aud a half. For the entire
distance pay is being extracted.
The best ore in the camp and the
largest bodies are found in the
lowest workings.

out ready for extraction. In the

SUNKEN MAINE IS -.
EASILY RAISED

The long protraeted task of
raising the sunken hattleship Maine
was crowned with success last
week when the after section, which
was not injured in the explosion,
and comprises approximately half
the total length of the vessel, was
set afoat.
Barely sufficient water was
admitted within the cofferdam to
free the hulk from the mud in
which it was deeply imbedded.
Major Harley B. Ferguson, chief
engineer in charge of the work,
intends now to cease admitting
water within the cufferdam until
the portions of the shattered for
ward section of the battleship are
moved which will be a matter of
a few days. After this, it will
only be a matter of admitting suf-
ficient water to raise the hulk to
the harbor level. Then a section
Of the cofferdam will be removed
and the hulk floated out into tho
bay.
Three skeletons were found
in an exploration of the extreme
bow section of the Maine.
