 come from her mines. 
 
 Many undeveloped mines and lar^e 
 bodies of valuable ores are now lying idle 
 owing to the great expense of shipping to 
 some Eastern Refinery or Chemical Plant 
 and the fact that the value of many of those 
 products when refined are unknown to the 
 general prospector, and the public at large, 
 is verified by the great bodies of wealth- 
 producing material that lie within easy 
 reach of railroad shipping points; but the 
 p rices offered by the Eastern Chemical 
 i'lants, coupled with the expensive freight 
 haul, prohibit their being mined at a profit 
 yet. lariiv shipments of Chemical Products 
 made from similar ores pass through this 
 St-ite and the Pacific Coast Ports daily on 
 their way to Japan and the oriental coun- 
 tries. A large part of the products going 
 across tho sea could be manufactured at 
 some point in Nevada and from Nevada's 
 mineral wealth now lying dormant, thus 
 adding millions of dollars to her resources 
 and our income. 
 
 NEVADA'S VALUABLE PRODUCTS. 
 
 Review of some of the valuable pro- 
 ducts lying idle at this time will 
 not be out of place in this brochure, 
 and we trust that the information 
 contained herein may be^ the means 
 of stimulating- the people of this 
 State to greater action along some 
 of the lines that are herein referred 
 to and that should be of great value to the State 
 and its people, to the end that new energy and 
 new pusli may be developed to "cash in" on 
 these (iod-Lriven treasures now so quietly sleep- 
 ing in our everlasting hills. 
 
 A list of some of the most valuable of 
 Nevada's possible WEALTH PRODUCING 
 or.-s will follow with a brief summary of each : 
 its present value, as ore, and the value of the 
 various products to be recovered and refined 
 there from, and their principal uses and market 
 demands : 
 
 TUNGSTEN OR WOLFRAM. 
 
 As a mineral Tungsten or Wolfram has 
 long been know r n to mineralogists, but it re- 
 
 Page Thre 
 
mained for the Germans to di.sc.. 
 
 side of the so-called precious metals. Tu: 
 
 or Wolfram, as they named it, was the most 
 
 valuable mineral and metal known. 
 
 The Germans took advantage of ti 
 vanced knowledge concerning this <>iv. and for 
 several years held a monopoly of all tin- pro- 
 ducts of Tungsten ores. II 
 year 1898 our own chemists had disco 
 some of the valuable properties of this new and 
 wonderful ore and an active development 
 ed in 1900 when the ore was found to ex 
 several of the Western as well as the E. 
 States. In that year the United States pro< 
 46 tons of 60 per cent concentrate vain 
 $11.040. In 1906 the world's pr 
 4,367 short tons, of which the 1 
 produced 928 tons valued at $348,867. 
 
 In 1915 the world's prodii 
 short tons, of which the Unite 
 2,332 tons valued at $4,100,000. 
 production had increased to .VJOO tons. The 
 
 Lge price for that year 1 r unit 
 
 or $1800 per ton of 60 i 
 valued at $9,874,800. \V 
 
 tons valued a1 value

 Thus we have an industry 
 from $11,000 to over $17,000,000 in the short 
 period of sixteen years and m 
 was made in the pa^t ten 
 of production represents onl 
 of the value of the mann 
 stride that no other industry ha 
 he world's history. 
 
 Through the efforts of our chemists, n 
 new and valuable uses of the metal an 
 salts have been discovered. The prin< 
 duct, however, is Sodium Tungstate; all 
 salts and metals being reduced from 
 Sodium-Tun gstate is used in the manufa 
 of Acetic Acid, for weijrhtinpr silk and p 
 it its prloss, for fire-proofing- cloth, as a mor- 
 dant in the dye industry. Tunprstic Acid is 
 used for coloring ceramic prodn 1 for 
 
 paints; and, Tungsten-Oxide to produce the 
 metal and Ferro-Tungsten.

The Wolfram or Tungsten metal is a white, 
 heavy, metal, being heavier than gold and hav- 
 ing a tensile strength nearly three times that 
 of steel. It is non-corrosive and only a com- 
 bination of acids attack it. Its melting point 
 is the highest known, 3270 degrees C., and 
 can only be melted in the Electric Furnace. It 
 is one of the hardest of metals and imparts 
 to all of its alloys that most desired quality. 
 
 Alloyed with steel it has the property of 
 self-tempering, making a class of tool steel 
 that is very valuable in the shop. Tungsten is 
 also used as gnu linings and armor plate. 
 
 Alloyed with gold or silver it produces a 
 cutting tool o<mal to the best steel. Surgical 
 instruments are now manufactured from this 
 alloy and are very valuable as there is no corro- 
 sion and much less danger of infection. 
 
 Alloyed with copper it is being largely 
 used for shin propellers, it making a metal so 
 hard that no tool will cut it and the salt water 
 '<it affect it. 
 
 The French are making an alloy of Tung- 
 sten and Aluminum for automobile bodies, the 
 alloy being very light and stiffened by the 
 TinigM"!!. Sonic twenty alloys have already 
 been produced. 
 
 En gland has recently appropriated 450,000 
 pounds sterling for research work in obtaining 
 new alloys and for the establishment of facto- 
 ries IVr experimenting in the treatment of 
 Tungsten ores. France also, is busy on this 
 same subject. The ful ure never looked better 
 and brighter for Tungsten and its By-Products 
 than it does at the present time. 
 
 Tungsten wire is becoming a very import- 
 m', factor in the electrical field, it having less 
 .nice and a greater conductivity than any 
 metal heretofore used. Many of the electrical 
 contacts, make-aiid-break points, and spark- 
 plug points and many other electrical parts and 
 appliances an 1 now made from this metal. 
 
 a filament for lights it requires only one- 
 half of the current used by lamps made from 
 other materials. All of these ^products have 
 practically come into daily use in this country 
 in the last dozen years, and the field is just 
 opening for the enlarged manufacturing there- 
 of. 
 
 The State of Nevada has a Tungsten Bear- 
 ing Bolt several miles wide and about one hun- 
 
 Page Five 
 
dred and fifty miles long, running through it 
 from Northeast to Southwest, \vher, 
 mines have been opened and concentrating 
 plants put into operation. Oilier deposits have 
 been discovered and opened, all of which goes 
 to prove that this State should l.e al.lt- to supply 
 tin- demand in the Tinted States and thus shut 
 out the major portion of imports of this valu- 
 able material. 
 
 The very fact, however, that all of our 
 Western Tungsten Ores must he shipped to 
 Philadelphia or I'ittsluirjr for treatment, and the 
 penalties plaeed <.ii the lower percent;:. 
 eentrates has had a depressing upon

 !y in tl little 
 
 known and understood bv most people. It is 
 found in the earbnuat-- and sulphate fm-ms. but 
 it :>11 }i;>s to bo treated and refined to make it

 terating white lead, the peroxide, for glass making. 
 
 1'age Six 
 
clear crystal glass carrying as high as 55 per cent: 
 also used in the manufacture of oxygen gas, and 
 sugar refining. The carbonate is sometimes used in 
 the manufacture of brick. A number of compounds 
 of Barium are also made for medicinal use, and is 
 largely used by some leading physicians. Our prin- 
 ciple imports before the war, came from Germany, 
 but Germany has recently placed an embargo on f'ir- 
 ther shipments. We have plenty of ore and with 
 necessary reduction plants can supply the demand. 
 
 MOLYBDENUM 
 
 Molybdenum: as is generally known, has 
 its most important use in the manufacture of 
 steels. 
 
 Molybdenum, outside of its uses for steel 
 
 is a valuable element: as an alloy in ^tellite. 
 
 a very valuable metal alloy ) : it is largely used 
 
 in electric light filaments, and in winding elee- 
 
 trical resistance furnaces. 
 
 Ammonium-Molybdate is employed in fire-proof 
 iiiir and also as a pigment for Ceramic coloring, and 
 as a germacide and disinfectant; Molybdenum-Tan- 
 nate finds employment in the coloring? of leather, one 
 of the Oxides has been used as a pigment for color- 
 ing rubber*; also used in various forms in the labora- 
 tory. As Molybdir-aeid. however, it has its greatest 
 value. 
 
 eral very promising deposits of this much 
 sought material have been discovered within a few 
 miles of \Yinnemiiec;>. :'iid already partially devel- 
 oped. 
 
 VANADIUM AND MANGANESE 
 
 Are two valuable minerals used in the 
 manufacture of various steels and are found 
 near by in large deposits. (Jeneral knowledge 
 of their uses are little known as the greater 
 portion of the minerals and their salts are im- 
 ported from other countries. Au endeavor 
 should be made t<. force our own ores on the 
 market, and this can only be accomplished by 
 having Refineries of our own in this country, 
 and by manufacturing the more than one 
 hundred products made therefrom. 
 
 ANTIMONY AND AUSENIC 
 
 Are found in many deposits in the state of 
 \evada. and many valuable products are made 
 from these metals. Antimony is largely used 
 a^ an a llov with lead in making type-metal and 
 other hard lead products. Also many paints 
 and dyes are made from Antimonal Com- 
 pounds.

 A Partial List of Non-Metallic Ores 
 
 SODIUM CHLORIDE (Common Salt.) 
 
 In many p Nevada this coinii. 
 
 and much used, product may bo found in la- 
 deposits of solid crystals carrying mill: 
 Ions of hifrli-nrrado Sodium Chloride, and ;i 
 
 Page Eight 
 
found in salt springs, carrying from 20 per 
 cent to )() per cent salt. 
 
 The real value of Sodium Chloride, outside 
 of its use as common salt, is quite unknown to 
 the general public; yet many valuable products 
 can, and should be made from our native salt. 
 The raw material can be obtained in many 
 parts of the State, and delivered to our plant at 
 Irom *7.0() to $10.00 per ton. The old methods 
 of refining and manufacturing the various pro- 
 ducts were very expensive and took several 
 days to accomplish the result. The new pro- 
 
 of separating the Sodium Compounds by 
 electrolysis has greatly cheapened the manu- 
 facture of the various salts. 
 
 OVER ONE HUNDRED CHEMICAL COM- 
 POUNDS are manufactured from Sodium Chloride, 
 (common salt;) a few of these products bringing the 
 highest prices. ?re as follows: 
 
 Caustic Soda, $120.00 to $130 per ton; 
 Hydrochloric Acid, $160 per ton, CP $250 
 
 per ton: 
 
 Calcium Chloride SiM to $35 per ton; 
 Oalcium-Hypochlrrite $80 to $90 per ton; 
 Pbosegene-Carboynal Chloride $1.05 per lb. 
 Bromine. (mad" from the waste brine) $1 
 
 per pound; 
 Liquid Chlorine $200 per ton; 
 
 Sodium P.iehroii'ate $800 to $900 per ton; and 
 
 Mid various other products ranging from $30 to $40 
 
 u. including Carbonate and Bi-Carbonate of 
 
 Sed-i. All tin 1 above and many other valuable com_ 
 
 -ily produced from the common salt 
 
 These prices ;>rc quotations on CL lots; small- 
 
 < i- quantitcs are higher in price. 
 
 JAPAN AND THE ORIENTAL COUNTRIES are 
 
 MOW la n't- consumers of these products and our 
 
 .la pan on tl esc items alone, for the year 
 
 :?'> pounds, the greater portion 
 
 coming from Chicago or Kast of there, and yet

 which these product should be manufactured and re- 
 iu our own state. 
 
 QUOTING FROM THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY 
 
 Hie Cnited States Geological 1 Survey (Bulletin 666-F) 
 lowing in regard to Salt, Bromine, and 
 Calcium Chloride; 
 
 "The Tinted States furnishes practically 
 all of the salt consumed by its people. In 1916 
 more than !>'. per cent of all the salt used in 
 this country was made here, and the value 
 of the salt exported was more than twice as 
 that of the salt imported. The total 
 quantity of salt produced has increased steadily 
 for many years. * * * The marketed do-

SULPHUR AND ITS BY-PRODUCTS 
 
 Large deposits of sulphur are found in this 
 state and most o these deposits are lying idle 
 owing to the low prices of Crude Sulphur, in- 
 fluenced by the long Freight Hauls, to get it to 
 tin 4 refineries. Crude Sulphur is now selling in 
 tlu- East at $22 per ton. 
 
 The following products can be made very 
 cheaply from crude sulphur, thus greatly en- 
 hancing its value, and, at prevailing prices 
 M-ould return Big Profits to a Local Refinery 
 
 Sulphur-Dioxide selling at $180 per ton 
 Sulphur-Chloride $120 to $140 per ton 
 Sodium-Sulphide Crystals $120 to $140 per ton 
 Refined Roll Sulphur $64 to $68 per ton 
 Arsenic Sulphide. $460 to $480 per ton. 
 
 Many other valuable products more or less com- 
 monly used may be manufactured from crude sul- 
 phur for the drug trade, manufacturing, and for 
 fruit industries, all bringing good and large profits 
 to the manufacturer or refiners. 
 
 LIME AND PHOSPHATE 
 
 And their uses are too well -know to require 
 iron- than mentioning herein. There is plenty of 
 the raw materal at hand for substantial utalization 
 and manufcture of the following products: Potas. 
 sium, Potassium-Phosphate. Potassium-Sulphate, Po- 
 tassinm-Chromate, Potassium-Permanganate, Potash, 
 and Potash-alum, l.ime. Hydrated-Lime. Calcium, 
 Calcium-Nitrate, Calcium-Oxide, and many other val- 
 uable products for the chemical trade. 
 
 FULLER'S EARTH 
 
 Is also another valuable product that is found in 
 lar' quantites near by, and is the source of many 
 products used in chemcal manuacturing. 
 
 CONSIDER THESE FACTS CAREFULLY. 
 
 Why should all of these wealth producing 
 ores lie idle or else he shipped East to be re- 
 fined, and then shipped back agairi to the con- 
 sumer, thus carrying a double freight rate 
 the freight rate alone, if saved, wo,uld be a big 
 profit. A little capital rightly invested would 
 produce these commodities at home and build 
 up an industry that would put many of our 
 mines to work and become a source of new and 
 added wealth to this State, and to the people 
 thereof, who have the foresight to grasp the 
 golden opporunity, and to, open the door to 
 this opportunity when it knocks for admittance.

 "Pick out an enterprise in its infancy, make sure 
 it is a business in which large profits can be made 
 and that it is honestly managed by competent people, 
 then put your money in it. If you wait until it is a 
 money-making proposition, you will buy on a four 
 or six per cent basis, while by investng at the start, 
 you can get something on a basis that will return 
 a per cent of hundreds and sometimes thousands.

 Go to your chemists and investigate the 
 possibilities for the manufacture and market of 
 
 tli> products heroin mentioned. Investigate 
 carefully the facts about the deposits of these 
 
 hat arc to be found within our State; then 
 think hard and act quickly. Don't worry about 
 the markets. ..Japan. China and other oriental 
 countries and South American countries as well 
 as our own America are all large consumers of 
 
 products, and can use the products of a 
 number of refineries operating in this State. 
 
 No other industry offers so great an op- 
 portunity for continued large profits as does
