TONOPAH-GOLDFIELD
Endorsed by Leading Experts OF
the World,


company is John Hayes Hammond,
PROFESSIONALLY today the leading au-
thority on gold mining and gold dis
tricts in the world. He is associated
with the millionaire mining maggates
and it vas his report which gave so
much prominence to the Tonopah
properties before they became ia
nous the world over. Mr.. Hammond
is said to be backing up his judgment
by very heavy purchases in these
districts.
Thomas f. Walsh, the millionaire
mining man Of Colorado, who sold the
great Camp Bird to an English syn
dictate for several million dollars
and much too low at that-recently
visited the Nevada camps. He states
the reports are far from being ex-
a%ggerated; cannot begin to do justice
to the magnitude OF the riches almost
everywhere in sight. Charles M.
Schwab, when he made his visit with
other capitalists to these fields, was
astonished and made his celebrated
speech in which he declared" that the
fortunes of the next generation were
coming from the ground, and that
this camp was going to be the great
est contributor.
1t is not, however, in the opinion
OF these men of world, wide reputa-
ton, more than in the every day
discoveries themselves and the uni.
versal chorus going up from different
mines all over the field which gives
emphasis to the fact that the premier
mining camps of the world today are
located in Tonopah and Goldheld.
New strikes are reported on almost
every side. The camp is extending
its limits every day. In nearly every
case the character of the ore is Xix,
that so far bad, namely, rich far be
yond anything seen in the ordinar,
mining camp.
Mines six months old are enabled
to become producers simply by rea
son Of the extreme value Of their or,
which can be shipped hundreds o
) miles and still at enormous profits
The railroad is at the present tim
blocked with ore shipments in one di
r%ection and with incoming supplies il
another. Where a few lone house
> stood a few mouths ago, there is nov
. a town of almost feverish activity
' and money being made in almost fat
y ulous amounts.
{ No one denies today the position q
; the camp. The evidences are in tn
u steady stream Of bullion, in discover
u les OF ore running thousands of do
lars to the ton, in the results of trial
: which have established the depth an
u continued values OF the ore bodies
. and in the broadening of both fields
1t remains only for the i%nvesto
: with whom we are particularly cor
cerned to judiciously select his CON
pany, having regard to all the point
u which go to the making of a first
{ class mining stock. Having don
{ this, there should be little hesitatio
u Of purchasing. The foundations c
y the colossal mining fortunes of thi
4 age have been made by those VIII
went in as far as possible on tn
ground floor plan, held their stock
aud grew up with the camp. Their
i never has been, in our opinion, in th
history OF the country, such opportu
!, mites if rightfully used as exist here
We believe another five years wi
, see a new class Of millionaires VIII
have reaped their wealth from th
marvellous mining camps of Nevad
q located at Tonopah and Goldheld.-
