nR. WEBER
From Extended Eastern Trip---Wide
Interest Taken in Coldfield.

Mr.. Henry Weber, the well known
mine operator who has been closely
identified with the development of this
district since almost the beginning, has
returned from an extended eastern trip,
the itinerary of which included visits to
Denver and Colorado Springs, Colo,
Chicago, ILL.,, Milwaukee, Wis, and sew
eral other of the principal cities of that
section of the country. While primarily
his trip was with a view to recuperating
after several months hard rustling in
the camp, Mr.. Weber incidentally look
ed rather closely over the investment
field of the east, with particular refer
ence to the general impression enter
tanned by the investing public toward
Goldtield. In speaking of these features
of his trip Mr.. Weber said:
"Wbile in Denver and Colorado
Springs was very agreeably surprised
to find such interest taken i'm the devel-
opment and the remarkable showing of
the mines of this district, although l was
aware there were many Coloradoans who
had made investments in this field, and
the eagerness with which everyone, it
seemed, sought information regarding
general conditions obtaining here and
the opportunities offered in almost every
line of business. 1t struck me as though
at least half the population contemp-
lated coming out here either this fall or
early next spring. | found many who
were completing arrangements to come
this way Immediately and within a year
there will be at least double the number
of Colorado people residing here, most
of whom are mining and business men.
Those who have made investments here
are so well pleased and have either ta-
ken or sent back such glowing reports Of
the mining possibilities of this great dis
trict, no,e of which, however, have been
exaggeration, that the general public of
the Centennial State have become thor
oughly aroused and earnestly seek every

field mines and the discoveries that have
been made in surrounding sections.
although l was in Chicago but a few
days" Mr.. Weber continued, 81 there
found Goldfield widely known and the
stories of the wonderful richness of the
ores of the district apparently have ere
ated IA most pronounced impression that
will result in IA hegira of investors from
all parts Of Illinois. The papers seem
to have accepted the statements of our
remarkable our and are devoting a
great deal of space to this section OF the
country.
"At Milwaukee | found the pee Pile
thoroughly awakened to the fact that we
have the greatest mining camp the world
has ever known and undoubtedly thou
sands will come here from the Badger
State within the next year to carve out
careers for themselves. Many of the
most prominent capitalists of Milwaukee
have become interested in our camp and
there will be a flood of Wisconsin money
added to that from other sections for the
development OF our mines and pros
poets"
Mr.. Weber was accompanied west by
Ex-MayOr Peter J. Summers and NJ. ID.
Kelly, both of Milwaukee, who are now
looking over the camp and who, in all
probability, will become investors in
this attractive field.
With reference to his future plans Mr..
Weber stated he had returned thorough
ly rested up and would at one take the
active management of the many proper
ties he and Mr.. Marvin f. Ish control
in this district. All Of these are now
being actively developed and Mr.. Weber
has informed THE News that work will
be prosecuted with all possible speed
with Il view to thoroughly opening up
the ore bodies on them. The properties
are all in splendid shape and without
question Il great proportion of them will
soon be added to the list of shippers OF
