Ne- Governor John Spark of Nevada arrived In Ogden yesterday on hla way huine from Salt Lake City, where he hu been on business The governor, who 1 a great favorite in Ogden, was seen by a State Journal reporter and asked to say something of Interest to hia many friend here. The governor slated that he was not talking lor publication this trip, but he did condescend to aay that he believed that hi atate waa the beat in the union and the reporter did not care to contradict hint, aa he la rather a well developed peraonage physically. Governor Sparks was asked regarding the future of Nevada In a mining way and spoke in glowing terms of the new camp that have recently been u;ened there. He stated that in the Tonopah district alone enough ore had been blocked out to keep the mines running for the next thirty years and estimated that the value of the ore now in sight in that camp would exceed 2U0,0U0,0UU. He spoke of several new camps that had recently been discovered, such aa the Gold Crest, Bone Clara and the Nevada Goldfield, and said that a half Interest In the latter had recently been sold for 200,000. The whole southern country, Including the old Bullfrog, Rhyolite, Beatty, Gold Center, Lida Valley and Kawlch la on the boom and every mine la showing up in great shape. Every one of those districts are producers and they are from one mile to 100 miles apart. The entire scope of this belt la mineralised, and In his opinion it would not be worked out for ages to Cornell Mexico, said he, has been working her mines for more than 800 years, but I believe that tlie mineral in Nevada will excel even their mln-l- u Nevada will excell even their mineral resources. The governor laid particular stress oft the fact that there waa no such thing as labor troubles In the camps, and that everything Is now and haa been moving along smoothly and to the entire satisfaction of everyone. Automobiles are traversing the country in all directions, enabling anyone to reach any point he may desire whether there la a railroad or not. He also pointed to the fact that the railroads have their eyes on the state and many of them were headed for the new gold fields There la an abundance of water there now, which haa to the lieretofore been unknown world, and there will be no more prospectors or people perish for want of water In the newly discovered gold fields.
