MINING IN NEVADA.
Review of ; onditions by the Denver
Mining Reporter.
Tlx* Tonopah and Goldfield mining
districts continue to furnish most of the
interest in Nevada The marvelous
values shipped out from the Goldfield
mines are attracting so much interest
that they completely overshadow for the
time the various mining o|>eratiuiis that
are now under way in other portions of
the State. Ores running $200 to $.’i(X) a
ton seem to invite no special comment,
especially w hen we note that fifteen tons
of ore were recently crushed which
yielded liars of Imllion worth about $45,
(XX), or, say, $3,tXX> a ton. it is unneces
sary to comment on the output of indi
vidual mines, as these are dealt with in
considerable detail in our weekly min
ing news in that important camp.
The Electric Mining and Reduction
works at Reno have recently lieen leased
by the Nevada Milling and Reduction
company of California. This company
will treat ores from tbe Goldfield and
Tonopah districts.
The Tonopah railwav is now shipping
considerably over 1,(XH) tons of ore a
week. The freight traffic over the Ton
opah railroad amounts to about 10,IXX)
tons a month each way, 5,500 tons being
incoming freight and 4,500 tons of ore
being shipped out. The Belmont is ship
ping possibly the largest tonnage, al
though it is being closely pushed by the
McDonald-Fuller lease on the JuiiiImi.
The Belmont is shipping about 100 tons
a week and the combined Jumbo leasers
about 140 tons, while the Tonopah Min
ing company is shipping about tons
a week.
Discoveries of such ore deposits as
those at the Tonopah and Goldfield have
convinced the public that Nevada offers
as many inducements to mining opera
tors and prospectors as any other part
of the West, and this has had the effect
of stimulating interest in one of the old
est mining states in the West. The pop
ulation lias increased by leaps and
hounds and thus old-timers who have
pinned their faith in the the mineral re
sources of their State will he substan
tially rewarded for their patience.
Don’t All Get Rich Here.
Richard Smith and Charles Higlev,
formerly a policeman of this city, have
returned from a prospecting trip in the
Goldfield and Tonopah districts, says
the Reno Journal. They were not lucky
in their w ork and did not make any rich
strikes and will not return to the gold
country this winter.

HAS A BRIGHT FUTURE.

Whole istrict South of Tonopah
Plunging Forward.
The whole district south of Tonopah
is plunging forward with characteristic
American enterprise, says the Salt Ia»ke
Herald. The majority of its men are
hard workers, or are willing to be if they
get the chance. The mineral resources
of the region are wonderful. In the
lirst year Goldfield will have ship|>ed or
l placed ujion the dump over $3,000,000 in
1 ore values. Considering its age—one
year—it has Cripple Creek badly lieaten.
It gives great promise of being a jierma
nent producer and is infusing new life
throughout the whole State. One meets
j there mining men from British Coluin
I bia, from Nome,' Dawson, the tender
foot from the F.ast, and, last, and in tlie
greatest numltcr, experienced mining
i men from Cripple Creek, Colo.
I ‘‘Taking a chance” has discovered
j most of the great mines of the world.
But of all the |>eople I have met here, I
desire here and now to take off my hat
to the old prospectors. Most of them
have not struck it, but they are the
pioneers who blaze the way in summer
' and winter, and the result of their works
I is that a desert region like southern Ne
i vada becomes a great and wealthy
j country.
Visit of an Old-Timer. v
J. F. Triplett arrived in Austin n
day evening from Goldfield on hist
to Klko to visit liis family, says the>t
tin Reveille. This is Joe’s first via

Joe and his son-in-law are leasiif
Goldfield and have reatdied a depth,
