BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR NEVADA
From Sacramento Union)~


years, lSo1-1s75
Approximately S00OOOC0 is to be spent in the year
in constructing great centralized silver and gold
urng plants in Nevada.
Nevadas mining industry is being strict
~ business lines. and hereafter will be conducted
featuring industry
Milling silver gold at the mines
superccde the costly smelter method
Working of groups of mines by corporations with
central milling plant for each group is replace the
small individual mining companies.
Development OF the Mother Lode county of California
along the manufacturing lines is being pursued in
Nevada is proposed
These the hiahlghs OF interview given asst night
at the Hotel Sacramento by Edward Van Dyck president
and general manager of the Universal Slvers Company
Onionville, Nevada, who has been prominently Identified

OF his and also options on Mother
Lode holdings for development operations mammoth

Van Dyck announced that Harry Payne whitney and
his associates, under the OF the United Comstock
Mines Company, has acquired the Gold Hill property
OF mines on the famous Comsock lode Virginia City,
and are eNpcnding S3,CCOCO0 their development Two
thousand feet OF the 1OO0O tunnel cross-cuttnr the
shafts OF the old mines cutting the bodies below them
are already completed and 10000 feet lateral tunncnp
will soon be started. mill with 25Oo-ton daily capacity
more than twice the capacity OF any mill previously crested
i'll Nevada. is half completed
Charles NJ Schwab and his associates have acquired the
Middle Mines extending 5OO feet along Constock lode
between the Gold Hill group the North End mines in
Guiding the Con Virginia have appropriated SloOOO
Tor sampng the property as made plans to exrend
S5oooOO0 on plant similar Whitneys pant The Mid
die mines have produced SOOCOOOO in bullion
These two great manufacturing plants will turn out
approximately S0C00OO0 i'll bullion annually when com
pcted said Van Dyck last night Mining Engineers
after exhaustive Investigations estimate there enough
ore to keep this pace up for 80 years The whitney in
erestS took 'ooosampcs before they work and
report that they entirely satisfied with the showing
The Constoc lode has produced billion in ore and
experts say there is that much more there
~ lnonville. where we have consolidated four mines
covering lo acres OF proven territory OF which only 70
acres have been mined date we have spent S3OOO0 ON
our plant and expect to spend much more The irs

here we turn directly into silver bullion shipping it to
the mint and saving all heavy transportation and smelling
charges made surrey OF the entire after silver
started to come back in 1918 picked Unonvilc as the
best locality
The old mining camp OF Candearia. 20 miles nortl, Of
Ionopah which yielded S22OOOO0O is again active The
Candeara Mines Company has already spent S2OOO0) in

year
me Phoebe district is continuing ship large quantities
o'e 20 inc smeiter but hauling and smetng charges do
not make the district entirely profitable to operate
Inc days OF the old mining game of the small mining
companies VINO relied on speculation for profits and finance
OF the mines in which only high grade was utilized have
gone forever IN Nevada Mining OF that state have
come to realize that mining regular manufacturing bust
ness not speculative longer and should be con-
Quoted along strict business lines the same as anv other
industry
III the future we shall have great silver and gold manu-
