LEADING
MINING DISTRICTS

The list of Nevada mining districts
that have gwen GOOD promise of the
making of productive mines is a long
one and includes some that have al
ready made a notable production of
the precious metals. While a number
of these districts have apparently
seen their output wane and while their
days of greatest activity are past
there is always the possibility 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 ex-
panse of territory over which these
minerals are found. Many mining
properties that have been Abandoned
for years are again being made to
produce, as result of employing mod
ern 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 fu-
ture years.
A survey of the list of Nevada min
ing camps and districts is of interest
in recalling the vast output of metals
made by the state and in pointing te
the possibilities for the re%iuvenation
of many one-time producers that are
now nearly or altogether idle. Fol
lowing 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 regular production of com
mercial ore:

Pine, Eldorado, Arden, Crescent, Las
Vegas.

This makes a formidable list of
camps and districts; one that
no other state can equal in point of
past production or promise for the flu
tGre of the mining industry. There
are many other old camps in the
state of Nevada and with the pros
pecting development work now in
progress throughout the state many
