HENRY J.BARTLETT - Nevadahas no more loyal son than Henry J. Bartlett, and Round Mountain owes more tothe personal efforts of this one man than to any other influence, which hasgone to make this district, known to and appreciated by the outside world. Lessthan one month after the discovery of gold in the Round Mountain District,Henry Bartlett founded, and housed, the plant of the Round Mountain Nugget, avirile and up-to-date eight-page weekly newspaper. His confidence in the cominggreatness of the district may be inferred from the fact that $10,000 was putinto the venture when less than a dozen tent houses and not over fifty persons,comprised the sum total of the community.
The storyof Round Mountain is the story of Mr. Bartlett. They have grown and prosperedhand in hand, and with "The Nugget" Bartlett has shown the way. Hismind it was which conceived the Round Mountain Hydraulic Mining Company, andhis energy, which brought to fruition the possibility of this gigantic schemeof placer mining with water. To his indefatigable effort is due the fact thatthe Daisy Mining Company came into possession of all of the valuable waterrights of the district, which in turn is supplying the city and surroundingmines. There are but few propositions in the district in which if he is not anofficer, director, or the promoter, he is a shareholder.
He has the distinction of being the firstnewspaperman in the State to travel about in his own automobile, which ischristened the "Nugget Flyer," and Bartlett and his "Flyer"are known in all of the great Nevada camps.
