SiLvERS ATTRACTING
 GREAT ATTENTION

GREAT ATTENTION A, the present time western Nevada
 is the center of attraction in a mining way. The closing of the great copper mines over the United States and this country furnishes So per cent of the worlds copper-has to a consider able degree curtailed the output of gold and silver. both metals being q by.product of copper mining. From appearances copper mining and smelt- iag will not resume for many months.
 The western end of this state holds tie record of previous metal mining Virginia City. Gold Hill and Silver City have been the Ophir of modern history and their story is written only in the first chapter.
 Mining men from over the entire country are quietly taking interests in and about Virginia City The reason for this is cheaper extraction of val ues, free milling product and close proximity to markets.
 Nevada has two prominent produc. tions for the rest of the union. metals and stock raising. It is only in a limited way. horticultural state. weather and climatic conditions. to- gether with high altitude in many sections. preventing such in corn- mercial sense. The cattle and sheep men to d large degree depend on their success from the mines and their pro ducts A slump in mining means similar effect on the stock raising in dustry.
 With the rehabilitation of the Com stock other sections in this mineral ized zone must of necessity receive attention The counties adjoining the Comstock already feel the influx of new blood. and with d concerted effort on the part of the western Nevada people more mining on legitimate line will be carried forward than It any time since the bonanza days
 The reconstruction and revival Of mining in this end Of the state has not taken on a boom scope. but there is steady and quiet investment nf outside money Claims that have been held in patent for generation have been sold or transferred. Old records are being gone over, titles are being strengthened up and options are held by many Of the big mining in terests
 Southern Nevada is gradually com Ing north Operators who made gool in the southern section see the pos abilities of the western end of the state. and are quietly acquiring ground The proven great depth of the big lodges of the western section of the state has much to do with the s,ekins of places for investment
 Western Nevada should make an effort to profit by the revival. The cd bonanzas were dug out and taken away The old crowd believed they had emptied the shell and the moneys they extracted were expended in fore ign lands and great cities. With the revival of mining in western Nevada efforts should be made 10 have the product expended in the state from which it has been taken and this will lead to the upbuilding of many other | industries and upbuilding Of home sections
 There is no stopping. however, in the comeback on mining. it is not alone in the air, but the concrete facts are being shown. This end of the state is to produce the big end of | the metal reserve and while it is be- ing extracted it is hoped that the present generation will plan better than the old.
