source Of much sat sfaction to the Salt

the fissure vein above the water level
has already produced not less than
500, 0O0 of commercial ores, which have
the ra.e of $50 to 500 tons a day. To-

EX-GOVERNOR ODDlE
LIKES CAMP WILLARD

Former Governor T. l.. Oddie returned
last night from the new camp of Will
lard, wehre he spent four days investi-
eating conditions and he reports
steady and pronounced development
since his visit there the week before.
The hills are covered with men pros
pecting the ledges that outcrop over q
large area and new finds are constant
ly being made.
$50 far development work has not
progress d very far, owing to the new
ness of the camp. but it is now going
ahead, and from now on important de-
velopments can be looked for almost
daily said the former governor "The
work SO far done shows substantial inn
provement in the size and values of
the ledges in the depth that has been
attained, and the rich ore shows free
gold plainly. The district is proving
to be much larger than was at first
perdicted, and this adds to its pros
pective value.
"A number of leases have been let
and active work is starting on them.
which will cause added prosperity to the
camp
Good reports continue to come from
Wizards sister camp, Rochester which
has proved itself one of the states best
camps, and it will be interesting to
watch the developments in these two
camps. The prosperity and success of
each will help the other and the better
each becomes, the stronger the mineral
izatlon in that section will be proved,
SO they will advance hand in hand
as the two camps of Tonopah and Gold
field have done in the south. One does
not have to draw severely on his imag
ination to see an analogy between
these two new camps and the two of
to the south. Each two are about the
same distance apart and Tonopah and
Rochester both carry silver and gold,
while Goldfied and Willard both carry
gold.
IAN era of prosperity for the mining
industry of Nevada is at hand. The
established camps in the state are
showing renewed activity and improve
rnent and renewed interest is being
taken in the new camps Mining excite
ment seems to run in cycles and the
mining world knows that it is Nevada's S
turn this year"
