Dodge Car With 300000 Miles in 15 Years of Nevada Prospecting
The 1914 Dodge, number 166, has surpassed 300000 miles in Bill McCardle's hands. A copper prospector living in remote northeastern Nevada, he bought it second hand in 1916 and has since kept it running amid rugged mountain trails. Maintenance costs totaled 91 dollars, with 70 in 1921 and 21 this spring. The car carries him over rocky terrain while he tends his half acre garden and claims holdings that sustain his livelihood and status among local prospectors.
