Ore rate shift could revive Western mining in Nevada
The Yerington Times reports a proposed Interstate Commerce Commission order directing Western Pacific and Southern Pacific to set ore and content rates at 3.33 per ton from eastern California to the Wabuska smelter. If sustained, Mason Valley and nearby districts may reopen furnaces, boost ore processing, and stimulate mining, rail, and smelting activity across western Nevada and eastern California. The Peavine district near Reno could see low-grade ore shipments with smelting charges not exceeding 1.50 per ton, aiding development and employment.
