What reading level is Nevada Silver book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In l>;o more than five thousand claims within thirty miles of Virginia City were " on the market. " Frenzied prospectors were marking out thousands more, until the most remote corners of the desert were "pegged down with claim stakes" set on indi- cations which were seldom attractive to a mineralogist. Iron pyrites and all sorts of worthless combinations seemed as good as gold or silver to the enterprising adventurers. Before long men were claiming to have found huge ledges of iridium, platinum..., and plumbago. One Washoe speculator being told by a gentle- man that an ambergris mine would be valuable, replied that he had just staked out one ! A company tunneled for weeks into the granite of Mount Davidson in order to tap an alleged lake of coal oil.
No one can reckon up the number of prospect holes that dot Nevada. Millions of them, mere ragged cuts or pits in the tawny hillsides, make wind-blown heaps on every hand between the clumps of dark sagebrush and the dull yellow of an occasional sunflower.
