Show NEED SHELTERS AT GOLDflELD 7ifh Them Nevada Would Be a Great Gold-Producing State. "Railroads and smelters in the Gold-field, Gold-field, Nev., district are all that are needed to make the State of Nevada take its place alongside or Utah and Colorado as one of the great gold producing pro-ducing States of America," says Edward Ed-ward A. Updyke of Omaha, who is returning re-turning to his home after examining conditions in Nevada. "There is plenty of gold-bearing ore in sight and plenty of development work going on, but the high freight rates charged by the railroads makes it unprofitable to ship ore that does not run $75 or J100 to the ton. Conditions are changing in the district and ore is being stored on all the dumps to meet the changes. "The winter has been mild In Nevada and with the exception of the San Francisco Fran-cisco earthquake, which was felt in Nevada, there has been nothing out of the ordinary ln the district." |
