w. F. Patrick, a brother of L. L.
and a pioneer of Leadville and other
great camps, has decided to locate
permanently in Goldfeld after a care
full examination Of the district. Mr..
Patrick says he is willing to be
quoted on Goldfeld and adds that he
cannot be quoted to enthusiastically
regarding its present and future.
Said Mr.. Patrick; when | first
read your reports and my brothers
letters in Denver, | felt you were
both a little too much enthused, but
believed you had a good camp and
tried to interest some of the big min
ing men of Colorado. These men were
prejudiced against Nevada and were
slow to act, though they realize now
that in losing the Combination they
missed the chance of their lives. But
they are making a bigger mistake in
not realizing that there are many
properties here with showings as
promising as the Combination. You
may say that in all my mining expe-
rieuce | have never seen a camp
which looked as good to me as Gold
field"

partner of Patsy Clark, spent last
