A carsonite Has Look at the Field
and Says it is Alright.


who has spent some time in Goldfield
and Tonopah is home. Mr.. Daugherty
went to the scene of the Gold excite
ment expecting to be gone but few
days. He was delayed on account Of
the washouts and is now glad that ne
was detained. as it gave him the
chance to look over the ground.
When asked what he thought Of
the district he replied:
"Goldfield is all right and in my
mind l believe that it is going to be
the greatest gold section that was ever
discovered in the State. In fact l be
lieve that it will eclipse Tonopah, sim
ply because it is larger in area AMI
the gold does not seem to be confined
to one section, but is found in
radius of ten miles Or more.
Naturally the Carsonite looks
around for some of his townsmen and
you can find them out there. They
are all working who care to and some
of them are coming out with fortunes
and within few months. Most of the
Carson boys who have taken leases
are doing well and while not all Of
them will make stake they cannot
complain of the returns in SO short Q
tire.
AS for Goldfeld proper it is simply
a hummer. The town IS confined to
couple of blocks of tents and small
buildings, but they are the livelist two
blocks of ground that were ever in
habited by men. The place is simply
swarm of industry. Miners, pro
motors, leasers, gamblers and all sorts
that so to make up Community
and all of them on the hustle. The
Accommodations are tough but that has
to be expected. Sleeping appartmen+s
are scarce. A tent generally furnishes
lodging house and the beds are not
made of feathers. The restaurants
are rushed and 1t is a case of wait
until you get a chance to eat. The
price of meals is extremely high and
the quality Of meals will not do TO talk
much about. but the man who goes
in there does not expect to find
Palace Hotel and he is not dissapoiQ--
ed
THE water is pretty bad and con
siderable sickness is to be found. ble
that condition will be righted in time
The water has q very unsavOry tas+a
and everyone who goes in complains
of it. Milk can be bought at Is cents
per glass and if you don't like the
price you can go without it.
The one thing that strikes the
visitor is the gold and its general dis
trlbutiOn over the field that is being
mined. In nearly every lease miners
are found panning, and in no case
did l see a pan that did not have
colors in it. Some Of the Mornings
are SO rich that it is a wonder th.t
the men do not get more excited than
they do. 1t is fact that some Ct
the Mornings go several dollars a
pan. while many have gone so hign
that to tell it would seem an eXagAr-
alton. Some of the surface dirt sim
ply astounds the visitor. In fact n
several Of the leases they are sack
ing and shipping the ore from the
grass roots. The sagebrush roots hold
the precious metals and when it ,c
pulled up in the rich ground the roots
are shaken free from the dirt before
they are thrown away. The miners
are operating in every way Trench
ing. shafts, incines and in fact every
mode OF mining is used.
The leasers have to leave ten feet
about the mouth of the shaft SO that
most of them sink and then crosscu1
to the ledge. When the legde is
found they clean it out to the surface
Whims. steam and gasoline hoists are
used not to mention hundreds of wini
lass hoists. 1t is simply case of get
the gold out and they are doing it. ,
"One of the greatest sights is TO
look across the fats and see the men
at work. They are digging on hill
tops, down in the bottom of gulli2s,
on the side hills, and in fact every
place where a color can be found
The land lays ID rolling flats ami
shafts and cuts are to be seen il
every direction. AS far as | can see
the Goldfeld districts looks as if it
will become the greatest mineral dis
covery that has ever been uncovered
in Nevada ard thnt half of the treas
ures is yet unknown. A trip to Gold
field is worth any ones time and is
the place to make money. 1t must Oa
borne in mind that anyone going in
must have some cash, as living S
