The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1904-07-01
IT SOUNDS BIC-AND IS BIG.

wv
The Los Angeles Times has, in
a recent issue, a full and interest
ing letter from MIR. w. T. Selleck,
a representative of that newspa-
per, on Tonopah, Goldfeld and
other camps adjacent. From his
letter we clip the following:
"In Goldfeld, 26 miles south of
Tonopah, values are fully as great
as those of Tonopah with the diff
ference that the ores u light in
silver, the values being nearly all
in gold. The Tonopah ores run
about three parts value in silver
to two parts in gold, while the
Goldfield ores run fully nine parts
gold to one part silver. Goldfeld
is as yet but a city of tents, posi-
bly, a thousand people camped out
on the desert sands, and yet since
its discovery in 1908, several rich
shippers have been opened.
"Tonopah has today seven pro-
ducing mines, Goldfield has three,
any one of which is thought to be
as good as Tonopah's best.
All this sounds big because it
is big. 1t sounded too big to the
writer until enough investigation
was made to prove its truth"
From the figures which Mr.. Sell
leck gives elsewhere in his article
of the depth of the Combination
and January shafts, IS we'll as from
the fact that he limits Goldfeld's
producing mines to three, it is evil
dent that he wrote his article some
weeks ago. Were he to come here
today he would write: "All this
sounds big, but the realities are a
great deal bigger" Counting
leases there are at least a dozen
properties in Goldheld producing
shipping ore. and the bonanza ore
on the Jumbo has been found since
his visit. Were he 10 see Attorney
Vermilyea chiseling off $4,000
worth of ore in an afternoon
were he to see a handful of this
ore crushed and PANIED till it left
the bottom of the pan covered
with free gold, he would say:
What | had heard of Goldfeld
sounded big, but l was not pre-
pared to see all this"
Many mining men who, like MIR.
Selleck, doubt the story of Gold
fields riches, would say: "At any
rate | don't care for such rich ore;
a big body of low grade ore would
suit me better"
Very we'll. Goldfield is again
there with the goods. The Jumbo,
January, Combination, Florence,
Great Bend and others have not
only high grade ore in large bod
les, but they have lodges, from 5
to II feet in width, of mill ore
that will go from $40 to 500. 1t is
from the milling ore that Gold
fields greatest wealth will come,
but we see 40 reason to ignore its
bonanza ore, because people on
the outside won't believe it."
There are a number of men in
Gold6eld who will become rich
because outsiders wouldn't believe
and buy their properties when it
was offered for a song.

citizens of Tonopah that the advent of
the railroad into Tonopah will be cele-
brated on July 25th, Goth and II. Special

"a pieces will be in attendance.
