ON The VERGE OF
MINING BOOM
GREAT ACTIVITY IN DISTRICT is
RESULTING IN GOOD DIS
CLOSURES

The nearest approach to a mining
boom in Nevada at the present time
is ia the Klondyke district. half way
between Goldfield and Tonopah. This
Is a boom in mining development and
ore production and not in mining
stocks. as the owners OF the proper
ties in the district have no stock for
sale and are everywhere doing legiti.
mate mining, says the Tribune An
important factor in the development
OF the klondyke district is the leas
ing system, which is in operation
over a large territory and il is re-
ported that there are now about 80
leases in force upon which work Is

district for the past ! years, starting
his work long before the discovery

I puted to have made a fortune from

points along the main ridge Of the
Golden property.
II has been the desire OF Golden
In granting leases that every lessee
should start Immediately on shipping
ore and this is being made possible
to a large extent by the advice Of
Schweiger, whose familiarity with
the ore makes il possible for him
