Opinion Of an Investor and One Who
Knows.
Mr.. John McKane, who owns extel-
sive interests in Tonopah, and who
is also interested in the new town of
Goldfield, is in this city for few
days. He will return to the diggings
in a short time and see his many ven
lures through. In reply to question
regarding the new camp, Mr.. McKane
is confident of it's future and speaks
most highly of the outlook for the
near future In brief he makes the fol-
lowing statement:
"Yes, have just returned from Gold
field. /, with number of associates,
have taken up interests there, merely
from a business point of view. We be-
lieve that the camp has the greatest
showing of any place of its age IN
this State and are therefore taking
our chances with the others. There
is no question but the outlook is most
flattering. There is hardly claim in
the section but is showing ore and
some of it of sensational values. The
town is growing up as if by magic.
Where there was a desert few
months ago today stands regulation
mining town. Saloons are in evidence
and business houses are springing up
every day. 1t is simply ruch to the
new diggings.
1.-The ground is in the hands Of
great camp Of it. Leasers are taking
hold of the ground and many of them
have already struck enough to give
them ample means to carry on their
work. 1t looks like many Of the leas-
ers will come out with fortunes, as
the ore seems to improve with depth
and in most cases those who have
gone after it have come out with
veins.
Zone of the peculiar conditions is
the great help that Golheds has
been to Tonopah. At the time of the
strike at Goldfelds the town of Ton
opah was suffering with dull times
such as beset every mining camp at
some time in their history. When
Goldfields was struck Tonopah, being
the source of supplies for the people
who were rushing into the new fields
hot no hno~o
on the boom and today is is better
than it has been in many months,
while there is a brighter future ahead
of her
at seems that the fields out that
way have not been scratched over,
for there is not day but that some
new and important site is recorded.
In every direction form Goldfelds,
new towns have been springing up
and it would take a man with a map
to locate the new strikes and camps
that are coming to the front.
81 look forward to one Of the live
Hest summers in that section Of The
State that has ever been experienced
AS to the possibilities of that section
it would be unwise for any man tt
predict it. 1t now looks like New
ada, or that section in particular
was about to witness a new Cripple
Creek as the entire neighborhood is
scanned with veins that are promising
untold wealth for those who have
the heart in it to go after it.
What interests 1 am interested in
are looking as we'll as can be expect
ed and in fact some Of them arc
above par Between these strikes IL
the Tonopah Extension and the devel
opment of Goldfelds there is busy
season ahead of me and my people
we are absolutely satisfied and believe
that the new camps are all that ::
told of them. They certainly will bt
a good thing for your city and tn
entire State is beginning to feel tn
effects"
