Coming back to Tonopah always
inspires me with the Importance and
greatness Of this camp 1t was the
first to start in the state after many
years OF inactivity 1t awakened the
whole mining world and put Nevada
on the map again Goldfield was di.
rectly responsible to Tonopah for Its
existence, and 50 was Divide aud
In fact. scores Of other mining camps
in the state which have come into
being since 1900 The great produc-
lion Of Tonopah, Goldfield and soma
Of the other camps In the state Is
. we'll known that it needs no com
ment 1t is history The future pr
iuCtiOn of these camps and Divide
will make history TO be proud OF
in the future, and In this period OF
reconstruction of the world when
he great question of credit il of
such vital importance, the precious
metals to be produced hereafter from
'hese camps will play a most i'm
nortant part Nevada had much to
10 in making histody during the
Civil war when her admission as
p state was Of the utmost import
nee in saving this nation. Now she
ones forward again and contributes
.yhat the world is greatly in need Of
oday for its very existence, the
ecessary materials for its credit
md in abundant quantities. We who
re helping this great work along
annot help being proud of our state
which is emerging from a period Of
'0rced reaction stronger and better
fhan ever One must bat look
#rOuHd a bit to be convinced that
Nevada is on the eve Of a great
period Of prosperity She is like a
great sleeping giant awakening The
price of silver has made good silver
properties in great demand all over
the country. and the conditions sur
rounding the production of gold are
particularly favorable to the investor
,o here in Tonopah and other Ne.
vada camps we are particularly for
tuuate in having both these metals
in aunhance Ii happens that there
are number of bright stars rising
on Neyada"s horizon today Tono-
pah and Divide, Goldfield, the Simon
district, Candelaria, Eureka, the
+ omstock, Arrowhead and numbers
If others of great promise Gaa
aluiiy but one great camp is espe
cially in the lint light at time
bur now we have number, and
they are all attracting great dea
Of attention from strong mining mer
and investors throughout the country
With such conditions existing VIZ
can see nothing but real and lasting
prosperity ahead Of our state. which
we love 50 well What IS needed il
a more vigorous campaign of deyel
.Opment work and more Intelligen
and conservative advertising Of thu
.tale's resources.
1t is a well known fact that
mining property OF merit will com
nto The Imelight quicker and sta
here longer If located in Neyad

he conditions were exactly simila
10 properties in other states. Thi
gives US a decided advantage owe
