Nevada's Mining Comps

The list OF Nevada mining districts tina, have gwen good promise
OF the making OF productive mines is a long one and includes some that
Rave already made a notable production of the precious metals While a
number of these districts have apparently cen their output wane and
while their days of greatest activity are past there is always the posi-
blty of new ore discoveries that may cause them to come back into the
field Of active producers. Nevada is unique among the states for the
wide variety of its known minerals and for the great expanse of ter
ritory over which these minerals are found. Many mining properties
that have been abandoned for years ire again being made to produce, as
the result OF employing modern methods and reduction processes, and
it is probable that many others will be brought back to a stage of re-
newed activity and prosperity in future years.
A survey of the list Of Nevada mining camps and districts is of in
terest in recalling the vast output of metals made by the state and in
pointing to the possibilities for the rejuvenahon of many one time pro-
ducers that ire O nearly or altogether idle. Following is a rough list
in which it has been sought to mention the camps and mining districts
that have attracted attention in the past or that are now making a reg:
uar production of commercial ore: Clark county; Searchlight, Yellow
Pine, E1ldorado, Arden, Crescent, Las Vegas. Churchill county; Fair
view, Wonder, White Cloud. Douglas county, Ruby Hill. Elko coun-
ty; Tuscarora, Gold Circle, Mardis, Gold Greek, Jarbdge, Jack Creek.

ty; Robinson, Ely, Cherry Greek, Ward, Black Horse, Tungsten, Blaine,
Kimberly.
This makes a formidable list of mining camps and districts; one
that n other state can equal in point of past production or promise for
the future of the mining industry. There are many other old camps
in the state of Nevada and with the prospecting and development work.
now in progress throughout the state many others will doubtless be es
tablished in the future.
