The output of recoverable-silver in Nevada in 1942 was 3,809,000 fine ounces, a decrease, of 2,021,238 ounces from 1941. Preliminary figures Indicate that every one of the ten leading silver mifies in 1941 had a smaller output in 1942; even those that produced silver as a byproduct of copper, lead, and zinc failed to maintain output at Atlas Dupont Hercules the 1941 rate. Desert Silver, Inc., treating silver ore from the Niv-lo-c mine in the Silver Peak district, Esmeralda County, was Nevadas largest silver producer for the fifth consecutive year.
