ON Sunday afternoon of June 26th, at

Among the many instances cited to

ON the Pine Nut range; the activities
of Ed j. Roberts of the Vita Grande,
and Z. Chaplin Gard of the Oro

Roy Bradley, c. w. Saver, d. r.
Hawkins, and others at Carter Station
on the largest quartz ledge in Nevada;
the transfer by Frank C. Everett to
F. p. Williams of an interest in the ia
nous old Willard-Mc Donald mine at
Mountain House from which hundreds
|of thousands of dollars worth of
jewelry gold was extracted In the old
en- days; the opening Of bonanza ore
in the group at Masonic, owned by
Geo. A. Montrose and H. H. Boone; the
wonderful showing on Mt. Patterson
In the Fredericks and Costigan
groups; the fabulously rich gold ore
of the Chumung mine at Masonic; the
fine showing now in evidence in the
War Horse, owned by Geo. p. Dang
berg: the rich gold-silver-lead ores Of
the Gold Bug owned by Walker. Har-
rigan, and Johnson; the $6,000,0O0
worth of copper now in sight in r. c.
Walkers Ruby Hill. The marvellous

Krummes and e. Chaplin Gard; and
many others, including the thousands
of acres of rich placer ground along
the Buckeye and Pine Nut creeks and
along the western base of the Pine
Nut range.
The Sweetwater range is a vast de-
pository of mineral In mammoth
lodges as evidenced in the Great West
ern, now operating the old Kentuck
that created a sensation half GEN.
tury ago; the Silverado, now active
on high-grade gold and silver ores;
the Fredericks group. the Costigan
tunnel enterprise also busy, and the
Tanawah. owned by S. NJ Maclean.
When experienced mining engineers
expend $4,000 on a naked lease 300
feet on the ledge, as II. c. Denber has
done on a block of Chemqng ground
at Masonic, the public have confidence
In the enterprise and the region In
which II is situated.
And. as yet, there is not property
in belt forty miles wide by $50 miles
long that has developed beyond mere
prospect.
Let us all get busy. Hunt up that
pick and shovel. hammer and drill,
and go dig and delve. Attend all the
meetings of the Comstock Belt Miners
and Prospectors' Association and as
sist in it duties and hare in its re-
wards. Don't forget Sunday after
noon, June 26, at 3o'clock.
