Mines Of Nevada.

Nevada is Spanish word meaning
snowy" or white as snow" and the
name Of the state, says a bulletin Of
the United States geological survey,
was derived from the Sierra Nevada.
The state ranks sixth in size in the
Union. Its length from north to south
Is 4S4 miles, its width 321 miles and its
area 1O9,821 square miles.
The history Of Nevada Is chiefly the
history of her mines. Since the discov-
cry of the Comstock lode and other ia
nous ore bodies periods Of activity
and prosperity have alternated with
periods of depression. Each discov-
cry of high grade ore in noteworthy
quantity has been followed by rapid
settlement in that locality and the es-
tablishment of one or more towns.
