NEvADA'S NEW COLD FIELDS
When Developed Will Have No
Equal in Mining World

Professor Mark Averill, who is now To-
Gated in Tonopah, but is visiting the Com
stock at present, furnishes the Chron-
icle with the following interesting news:
either in the successful development of
the mineral wealth of Goldfied and the
vicinity, or the number of arrivals of
mining men and business men from all
parts of the world. Nome and Dawson
have recently contributed freely to the
crowd and even South Africa a small
number. The population of Goldfield
considerably exceeds that of Tonopah
and it is not unlikely that it will more
than hold it's own. though the year 1906
will witness large increase in the num-
Der of inhabitants in both towns. Gold
field has more shipping mines than Tono-
pah in the ratio of nearly two to one
but it has not had time to develop as
large weekly tonnage. Tonopah has
been greatly in the lead in this respect
pah it is much slower and more ex-
pensive than Goldfelds, because of the
Gaping covering the veins to a great
depth with lava and lake deposits, which
condition is absent at and near the prin-
cipal mines of Goldfeld, though as the
productive area spreads it will In time
reach the lava caps to be seen from the
ttown.
The old town of Ida has increased in
about 800 at present. In the Bullfrog
regions the towns of Amargosa, Gold
Center and Beatty, none of them very
close to the mines. are growing rapidly.
OF these Beatty will probably take first
rank, as it is well located with reference
to the principal mines and has an excel
lent supply of water. old man Beatty,
who formerly owned the present townsite
of Beatty, small ranch, has spent most
of his life prospecting in southern Neva-
da, and yet overlooked the great mines
of the Bullfrogg region within a few
miles of his home. These are strictly
gold mines of medium grade, but capable
of yielding a wonderful tonnage that can
be reduced at no great expense on the
Amargosa river. The shipping point for
these southern towns will be Las Vegas
on the San Pedro road, as freight rates
are much lower this way than by the
way of Tonopah
Very little is heard at present of Gold
Crater and the vicinity, but development
is said to be very satisfactory, though
no shipping has been done. 1T is gener-
ally believed that the whole region from
a point perhaps twenty miles from Gold
field south to the Colorado river is one
vast gold field, and that when it has
been sufficiently developed there will be
nowhere its equal in the mining world,
either as to tonnage or the high values
OF it's ores, specimens of which are from
one-eighth to two-thirls gold, although
ultimately its permanent wealth and
prosperity will depend upon its remark
ably large veins of low-grade and medi-
um-grade mineral-bearing rock.

TOLL ROAD COMPLETED
Highway Between Tonopah and
ColdfieId

The Automobile Company has just COM
pleted it's new toll road between Tono-
pah and Goldfield The highway is over
twenty-three miles long, and cost the
company more than $1,000 1t extends to
the Black Butte, going through Diamond
field and Columbia.
The route practically parallels the high
way leading to Diamondfield. 1t follows
the original road about 1000 feet, over the
summit of Gold mountain where, on ac-
count of the steep walls of the canyon,
the company was forced to widen the
county road four feet on each side to
give sufficient room to passing teams.
1t is the intention of the builders to
keep the route for their own private use,
and to that end have petitioned to the
County Commissioners for the privilege
of reserving it as a toll road.
The automobiles will be able to make
the trip both ways in much less time than
heretofore. Heretofore they have been
forced to turn out continually and to
travel in the deep ruts made by the
freight wagons, thus hampering the ma
chimes. Tho danger to the tires has been
considerable. and the wear and tear on
this part Of the machines has been sur
prisingly heavy. Under the present cir
cumstances travel will be even safer than
it has been in the past.

cannot fail to result in handsome divi-

Introduction of various labor saving
devices in the mining and handling of
its product the company has recently
built half n score OF comfort table cot
tages, and will increase the number to
hfty, for the Accommodate of its en-
ployes.
Plans have been formulated for the
erection OF an electric light for illumi.
mating the mines, as we'll as the hoist
ing plant and the homes OF the men,
and lot of other improvements that
will call for the outlay Of considerable
amount of cash, but which will indi-
rectly be a source OF revenue to the
company. The shaft now in use for
hoisting coal have been found made
quate to meet the requirements under
the new order OF things and \ larger
one will be sunk to keep pace with the
development, both above and below
the surface.
A new air shaft will likewise be sunk
and sixteen horse power fan installed
for conveying fresh air through all OF
the tunnels and drifts of the mine. All
of the preliminaries have been ar
ranged for building a spur from the
Santa Fe tracks at Chandler Greek to
the plant and the company will soon
enter upon its construction, the COM
pletion of which will enable it to load
its coal directly on the cars and thus
save it several hundred dollars month
by abolishing the tedious and ex-
pensive transportation of its product
