trict," said William E. Wilson, sec
rotary and treasurer of the Rocky
Mountain Securities company OF Den
yer who passed through Tonopdh
Wednesday from Goldfeld Ell route
TO California. He had been in that
camp two weeks buying property Tor
development companies which the
above named company will finance.
The Gold6eld boom is just now
fairly starting" continued Mr.. WI.
son enthusiastically. 1.-THE period oil
development | predict will be note
worthy in riches and strikes greater
than have heretofore occurred. The
camp is beginning furthermore to
attract general attention OF investors
In the eastern and middle states and
on the coast. Practically all that
has been accomplished in develop
ment has been by local capital.
Henceforth foreign and domestic cap
ital will take an interest in 1T and
will make a lot of money, because
nowhere else do capitalists getsogood
a run for money placed in prospect
propositions. The risks are less there
than anywhere else in all the world
of gold mining camps.
4!This is my second trip into the
place. | should have gone there a
long time ago. Last December a
man came to Denver and wanted to
sell me the January for SIS, 900, but
| hadn't hea I'd Of Goldtield and really
paid little attention to the offer, fail
ING even to investigate the merits OF
the proposition at the time. That's
the first Gold6eld fortune missed,
as the January is worth several hun
bred thousand dollars now and the
owners have already done pretty
well. Then again, when | went ~
last May | was offered the o. *.
Fraction for $500 and turned it down.
While in the camp last week | see
lessees on this same @. K. Fraction
shipping out ore worth $500 to $1,000
a ton. 1t is one of the very lates'
strikes. One of the pay streaks i
eighteen inches wide and will go $1,000
to the ton. The ledge pay area wa
encountered only four feet below tn
surface. After losing the first goo
thing Goldheld offered me / conclude
to get in and commenced negotiation
to that end last March. At tina
time OF course | did not realize wha
my second overlook would be, but
then secured the Boom Fraction an
Curly George claims for the Goldtiel
Coming Nation gold mines compan
and these are being developed, shov
ing up s~plendidly already. The Cur
George will soon be equipped with
gasoline hoist, good buildings. Tn
company is in the field to get ore
possible. So also the Big Elk go
mines company which has promisir
ground, on the southeast end of t
long string of Combination claim
that win be speedily developed.
"But these incidents are really
smaller Importance than the genei
good outlook that presents its
when all features Of the camp a
considered. 1t is the continued fiji
ing Of rich ore and the constant lar
production thereof that inspire CT
fidence in its future. believe Walt
will go very deep. Furthermo
the productive area is ~spreadil
There are four leases in shipping {
on the st. Ives. The latest str
on this claim occurred in the gu
