Tuesday from a three months business
trip IN the east. During his journey
he visited all the prominent CONNER
cial centers of the earlier civilization
of the United States and states that
Southern Nevada, and more particu-
larly Goldfeld, has the call with the in
v~esting public. He has opened a branch
Office at No. 43 Exchange Place, New
York City, through which medium he
intends to keep the east informed on
the camp and the opportunities it Of
fers for profitable investment. In
speaking of his visit to a reporter for
The News today Mr.. Jones said:
despite the insurance investiga-
ton, the recent elections and other cpn-
ditions tending to turn the thought of
eastern investors toward home affairs

opportunities which this section offers
in a mining way. Much interest at
taches to Goldfeld on the other side
of the "big river" and the sentiment
in its favor is practically universal
among men of capital. In Philadelphia,
Bullfrog and Tonopah are the more
favored points, but in New York City,
Boston and other capitalistie centers
Goldfeld has a decided preference.
"There is a misapprehension there,
rapidly dying out, however, to the eff

a conversation with Joe Letter of Chi
cago, on Southern Nevada mining mat
tiers, and he told me that he had been
informed by a number of experts that
such was the case. He expressed sur
prise on learning that the Florence
mine was down $50 feet and that
values were becoming richer with
depth, and appeared to be favorably
impressed by the statement. | ran up
against the same condition at other
points in my itinerary, but refuted the
statement whenever possible, and | be-
lieve to good effect.
r'There is to be a large amount of
capital available for the development
Of the mines here in the near future
and I anticipate that the coming win
ter will witness mining operations on
a vastly increased scale. In Washing
ton, ID. c., | had a conversation with
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson on
Goldfeld affairs and he manifested
great interest in our mines. Some
Washington money is to be invested
here before long, but the larger proper
ton of capital for mining operations
will come / think, from New York,
Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago.
"Senator Nixon is one of the most
popular statesmen in Washington and

good for Nevada and Goldfeld. / was

and socially, and since his advent to
congress Washington has learned that
Nevada is ON the map.
1.-THE camp has advanced appreciably
during my absence and to me condi-
tions certainly look good. | am now
preparing for extensive development
work on the properties operated by the
January Jones Leasing and Developing
company and on the Sassy Sal. At our
lease on the Atlanta, just south of the
Jumbo, the shaft is down los feet from
whence a crosscut will be extended to
the west for a distance of so feet. A
number of leads have been cut ON the
50-foot level and on one of them
we are now drifting with en-
couraging results both in the way If
paintings and assays. We intend TO
continue operations at that point and
to also lower the shaft to a depth of
$50 feet and again crosscut to the vein.
On the Uncle Sam No. 10, an S-foot
vein is showing which pans and assays
fairly well. On the Triangle we are
nearing the Gold Coin lead and are
receiving promising assays. 1t is my
purpose to secure several more well
located leases and to operate extensive
