ana says you're It'll
When George AIDE coined a similar
phrase to the above, he did not refer
to Goldfeld, but that was simply be,
cause Goldfield was then undiscov-
cred. We're George to come here
now and go through the Combination,
pan the free gold that comes from
lodges wider than the shaft and drifts
see the shelter returns which
shows that much of it goes better
than 5000 per ton-then to the Jumbo
and see more big lodges Of medium
grade ore with some shoots going
from 1915 to $1467 per ton-then four
and one-half miles northeast to where
Kane and Mcmahon, Jas. P. Harvey
and Patsy Clark, and "Diamondfield
Jack" DIR. White Wolf and associates
have opened up big lodges Of ore on
their different groups which is iden-
teal in character with that Of the
Combination aud runs better for the
same depth-then across country to
Kane Spring, eight miles east OF
Goldfeld, where he would see free
gold visible to the naked eye-then
back near the Combination again,
where he would see at least FIVE
leases on which big lodges carrying
gold values as high as $500 per ton
had been opened up in the past two
weeks-when ne had done all this
and remembered that he passed over
hundreds Of lodges on his way that
looked just as good on the surface,
he would say: "Gold6eld, destiny is
pointing her whole fist at you while
she says YOU'RE TT" And il
George AIDE wouldn't say that, he
would be in a small minority, for out
of the many mining men who have
made that trip recently there was
not one who did not say something
to that effect.
Since the news OF the big strike OF
the January, and the continued gooC
showing in the mines OF Goldfeld wal
given to the world last week, III,
stages into camp have been crowded
and numerou private rigs have CONF
in. The resorts in town are crowded
in the evenings and there is the near
est approach to a boom that thu
writer has seer in Nevada, and it /
freely predicted that the old Com
stock excitement will be rivalle'
within the year. Many of the visitor
are old. timers OF Tonopah who lie
the good things Of this camp Sill
away from under their very noses
and they are bemoaning the lucl
which made them wait till such tim
that dollars cannot buy what coul'
be gotten for cents but a few week
ago.
Those who got in early in the wee
were just in time to see three Of tn
most important strikes which hav
been yet made in the district. o
January 9th five sets Of leaser
started to work on the Floreuc
group, adjoining the Combination o
the southwest. On Tuesday, Febru
airy LIST, three Of them had uncovere
the ledge and exposed ore shown
high values in gold, while another ha
q tunnel driven which will doubles
catch the ledge at some depth befor
the week is out.
The lease closest to the Combir
alton is that OF L. L. Patrick Il Ct
On this the ledge vas uncovere
at shallow depth, bat it is 10 fec
wide, and on Tuesday numerous pal
nings indicated values from 5000 /
more than $500 per ton.
The next lease above is that
Sweeney, Hennessey, Wing6eId an
Nixon. A trench has been run G
this which exposes about rs feet
ledge matter, nearly all Of which ca
ries values. Where the best pa
streak is supposed to be has bee
sunk upon to a depth Of six feet, al
paintings from this show values up
$500 per ton. A handful Of the Loo
dirt from this place was panned
