Show ELEVEN MILLIONS IN GOLD the director of the mint in his estimates of the mineral production of the united states for the year 1906 places nevadas gold output for this period at eleven millions eleven millions in new gold the statement is almost unbelievable and yet it is highly probable that during the past year nevada actually produced more than this splendid sum and for the reason that many of the new bonanzas of the battle born state for months past have been producing carload after carload of ore ave averaging ragin g thousands to the ton in the yellow metal for the coming year the same authority predicts a production of twenty millions in gold this estimate also will most likely fall far short of the actual production as since the estimate was made several new camps have sprung into existence in nevada whose ore is so sensational in value as almost to stagger belief some of these camps and a number of their mines which are merely prospects as yet would find it an easy matter to turn out one or two millions in the precious metals scarcely without an effort and there are any number of properties arties in different portions of the state which would have no difficulty in producing a million a year this being the case the estimate of twenty millions will doubtless fall far short of the actual production the resurrection the rehabilitation of nevada is the wonder and marvel of the age ge for years the old state has been a byword by word and reproach and the recipient of many scathing and scurrilous le marks for years its population was so limited as to cause mirth when it was referred to as a sovereign state now however the case ii i i diff different erent the under dog is on top and an nowadays when one speaks of nevada the world begins to sit up and take notice within the near future nevada will take rank as being one of the greatest of the constellation of stars in the sisterhood of states and its name will be written in characters of gold on the walls of the hall of fame |
