to five and six -hundred-to-the-to
ounce silver, and in special instances
over 1000 ounces bonanza ore, in
the newly. discovered silver camp
christened "Silverhorn" is certainly
going some" in a practical and
scientific mining sense even for the
famous old Silver State of Nevada.
Well that is just what is happen
ing out in the southeastern corner
of the sagebrush country as we
write,
Sllverhorn' is now proven
ground beyond peradventure-th
amply and fully exemplified by
the intelligent and diligent work of
exploration and extentive mine de-
velopment. To say that the new find
is sensational Is putting 1t mildly.
Indeed, il is the Judgment OF emf
nent engineers and experienced old
time miners that the new discovery
Will eventually prove bigger and
richer and more potential than anv-
thing uncovered in Nevada since
the good old days of John w. Mack
ay and James G. Fair and the Com
stock Lode.
inquire of the man in '.the
street the why and wherefore Of all
this excitement and he will in all
probability tell you that it is the
comeback of silver to her own and
the romance of the Queen Of
Metals so intimately interviewer
into the history of Nevada, that the
present world wide cry for silver
and its restoration of lost regency.
has been aroused widespread public
interest and demand.
To the miner in the West 1t is
another milestone in the course Of
empire-the awakening of an old
and honoret treasury camp that will
add to the wealth of the world and
the good of humanity. What are
the speculative possibilities Of these
newly discovered silver properties
to the world hungry for the white
metal standardized in our own coun-
try at 81 per ounce? And the inter-
esting and spectacular circumstances
that this new bonanza camp is
launched at the psychological mo-
ment of the rising tide of the su-
premacy of silver as the medium Of
exchange in the trade of the nations.
This thought, no doubt, was in the
binds of the biologists and engineers
who first examined these properties,
!. kicked UP from the alkali dust of
ages by the old cattlemen of Cal
iente, and prepared their reports
for a waiting world. The develop
ment of the properties like the Dale
and Peer and original Silver Horn
within the last few months fully
justifies the predictions OF those con-
servative geologists and proves that
geology when interpreted by the
master is an accurate science.
Many years of residence in the
West and long familiarity with it's
mines, amply qualify the writer to
speak with authority on this subject.
And | may add that l speak affec-
tionately after many year Of long
ing but ungratified hope to- see this
food Of earthly treasures opened up
to the world and another contribu-
ton to the wealth Of mankind such
as was given by the Horn Silver
Mine" which produced over $4O,-
100000 and continues pour forth
its treasure. The Horn Silver" is
only few miles from Phoebe, New,
which in turn is % miles from Sill
verhorn, and Is the mining center Of
Lincoln County in which the new
dicoveries are located; and l expect
as good, il not better results from
the Silver Dale and Silver Peer with
development Of widths and depth,
On the now fully defined veins
The unprecedented obligations Of
the nations Of the world demand
some token Of security in the shape
Of precious metal. Gold can no
longer supp,., this want.
