great comstock lode made mining magnates mao nates before any of the states mentioned ever aspired to the production of the precious metals in the early days of the civil war it furnished the government with the necessary funds with which to help crush the rebellion san francisco the greatest city on the pacific coast owes much co the mines of the comstock and these great silver producers gave to san francisco such millionaires and prominent citizens as baldwin obrien flood mackay and sutro we mention the comstock at virginia city because the names of the mines of this section are household terms in every portion of the civilized globe but it is a well known fact that other sections of the state have been noted for their rich mines and for their extensive deposits of ore carrying the yellow metal as well as silver galore silver pradon ina ting A careful study of the early history of nevadas mining industry will disclose tile the fact that in those days the mining operator never touched any any property not productive of high grade ore and this ore must be free milling at that A low grade gold I 1 proposition or what was termed a low grade deposit at that time was barely noticed and a big ledge of high grade lead ore was entirely ignored two reasons are given for this condition of affairs one being that no method was then known for the successful and profit able treatment of low grade rebellious rebellion ores while lead was in but little de arbue demand transportation facilities were an d so that lead bearing ores could quate not be however rich As a

many mines are there which are yet to be made white pine county has also made a splendid record in the way of silver production but now its low grade gold mines are being gotten into such shape that they will soon make enviable records as wealth producers the same can be said of humbolt county while in elko county such immense deposits of milling gold ore exist that the world at large would hardly believe if told of their dimensions the country around eureka reno winnemucca and other portions of the state fairly teem with mineral wealth and good mines and good prospects abound on every
