The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1904-07-29

The reports concerning Goldfield
which have gone to the outer world,
have to the greater portion OF the pub
lie, been incredible. They have been
received with a liberal allowance for
color and enthusiasm, not to say ex-
n~yycration. at H. too rich to he all
true, but if it pans out one-half as good
us they say it is 1t will he good enough
has been the conclusion arrived at by
manv before starting for Goldfield.
Nearly all who have come here have
been prepared to find conditions heavily
discounting %repnrts. ahd the list of viss
itor. includes MANY of the most promi-
nent promoters, mining engineers, in'
vestors, brokers and operators In the
country, as well as old-time prospcctors
and practical miners, All have bteh
disappointed. To their surprise they
have found that the pen pictures IN
stead of being o~ver-colored had been set
forth i'm modest lines. That there had
been no exaggeration. That instead "f
the truth being the hall, it was truth
that the halt had not been told, As
matter of fact the reports have IN MANY
Instances heeh toned down = % as not 10
be passed up by the public as the pre-
duet of fertile imagination for purpose
of producing a boom, In Its very pres
ence the truth Is almost too great for
comprehension and belief So that the
distant public fecriving the echo anil re-
echo of report and newspaper story is
hot To be blamed for being Skeptical.
But the fact that the situation and
conditions in Goldfield have not been
exaggerated Is a matter OF pride with
us because we have taken pains and pre-
cautions to prevent this despicable cus-
tom so closely Identified with new gold
mining camps, and W. unhesitatinglN
refer the public to ahy OF the many who
have visitcd the Youngest but unquestion-
ably the greatest gold campever known.
Here is a list of some OF them and quo
tations from what some Of them have
said:
ID. A. Mcintosh, mining man formerly
of Denver: II first became interested
in Goldfield from reading the cores
pondence i'm the Mining Record but
could hardly believe that the strikes
were as big as reported. Wehave spent
thousands of dollars on wild goose
chasesto camps from which exaggerated
repCfts we're sent out with little OF no
foundation in fact. | finally went to
the editors of the Record and was as
sured that their correspondent was rell-
able. On the strength Of that l came
here and | want to say now that my OBJ
seryations have convinced me that the
reports were not exaggerated in the
least"
r. A.. Mari of Sumpter, Oregon, Il
mining man who has operated extern
sively in Utah, Nevada, Idaho and Ore
gon-the opinion Of Il competent Judge
after careful examination: Il have
been here over Il month now and have
visited IA number of the camps around
Goldfield and Tonopah. | am strongly
impressed with the large numberef
legitimate mining investors alyaseiy in
the field. Anyone having Roperty of
merit and caring to disgoose of it will
find it unnecessary to kkke it outside of
the camp as the pesple who have al
ready made moneyTin mines Of the dis
triet are ready ana willing to re-invest.
am particularly impressed with the
new camp Oh uoldfield, the future pos
sibiEties OF Which no man can foretell."
