THINKS WELL OF
MINING OUTLOOK
TALKS OF CONDITIONS
PREVAILING

Mining conditions throughout
the state of Nevada are exceptionally
good, and l look for even greater ac-
tivity in the various districts this
fall" said Frank M. Manson, general
manager of the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company, operating plants in
Nevada, and the Utah Ore Purchas-
ing company, which has several
plants in Utah, who is at present
making a business visit in Goldfield.
Since the former company makes 1t
point to keep tab upon the ore pro-
duction of each district in Nevada,
the remarks of General Manager
Manson are of importance and can
be depended upon as thoroughly re-
liable.
'"The Goldfield district continues
to lead all other camps of Nevada In
its shipments to our plants, which
reflects in no uncertain manner the
results that are being attained by the
various operators. Judging from
shipments, it is apparent that highly
pleasing conditions are prevailing in
the local mines, and l know of no
reason why there should not be a
continuance of such gratifying
state of affairs for many years to
come.
81 think it is safe to say that there
is more legitimate mining being
done in Nevada at the present time
than for six or seven years. The
Seven Troughs district in Humboldt
county is coming back into the lime
light in praiseworthy manner, and
there are at present more miners en-
ployed there than for five years.
Several of the properties are obtain
ing exceedingly good results and are
steadily increasing their shipments.
The Coalition property has just open
ed up new body of ore on the 115O-
foot level The new development in
cludes from a foot to a foot and a
half of very rich ore.
pending the completion Of the
Nevada Short Line or Codd railroad
fro mthe mouth of Limerick canyon
to the camp Of Rochester in Hum
boldt county, the operators of that
district have, for the most part, re-
duced their shipments, but they are
| carrying forward the work Of ex-
tracing ore on more extensive
scale than ever before. 1t is calcu-
lated that the extension of the rail-
road will be completed by August 1,
at which time I expect to see the
shipments Of ore from the district to
assume a volume far SURPRISING all
records of the past. The camp Is
looking exceptionally good, and it is
apparent that its permanency on the
mining map of Nevada has been firm
ly established.
"The Bullion district in the north
eastern part of the state Is showing
greater activity at present than for
several years. That the operating
companies are obtaining good results
is shown by the fact that the camp
is shipping an average of a carload
of ore a day.
Excellent developments are daily
occurring in the new Jungo or Hay
stack district, west OF Winnemucca.
in Humboldt county. Several COM
panies have inaugurated operations
there and the new district has ap-
parently an exceedingly promising
future. Another district that is be-
ing rejuvenated is Pine Creek, just
across the California line, which is
reached by the N. c. & o. railroad
from Reno. Masonic, in Mono cOun-
ty, California, just across the state
line from Esmeralda county, Is also
showing up WE'LL"
