GOLD CIRCLE A
PROSPEROUS CAMP

Hon. Mike Paisley, prominently
identified with the Gold Circle mining
district, is in Winnemueca. Paisley
has valuable mining property in chat
district and knows the mine opportu-
mites as no other man knows them.
He has optimism because his knowl-
edge of the district confirms the min
ing value and opportunities of the
Gold Circle district. He had this to
say:
FGold Circle is a proven district. 1t
has more showing for legitimate mine
development than any district / ever
was ever an actor in, and all my life
| have been gamester In mining
camps throughout the west.
"The district at present is making
a fine production, but with the two
mills going up in the spring on the
Eastern Star and the Elko Prince,
there will be a production comparable
to the mere advanced producing dis
tricts of Nevada, but where cheap
power will come to the aid of the
mine owners, leasers and prospectors
there will be an added energy in the
production of gold and silver out of
the lower grade ores which, in my
opinion, will class the Gold Circle dis
triet as a leader in the production of
the precious metals in the west
The Rex mill is pushed to its full
capacity now and unable to handle all
of the leasers' ores that are brought
to it for treatment
Throughout the district new de
velopments are supporting the claim
owners who stick, for they are getting
the values and ore showings which in
time will richly compenate them for
their faith and fidelity to the district
The most notable recent development
of a sensational character in the dis
trict is the remarkable proof of rich
large body of ore on the Hard Scrab-
bles.
1t sure looks good for mining in
Gold Circle, which is an indication o.
a future in which all us old timers
vii be benefited.
