The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1905-06-30

I'LL IL lCW ihth III bhS ehbAhS 49,
try have had the mining experience of
Judge J. w. Deane of Colorado. He
hes been associated with most of the
prominent mine operators of the Cen
iteunial state since the early histories
OF Lcadvillc and Aspen. and owned
and worked many of the famous pro
duccrs Of those camps and was thor
oughly familiar with I'll the mines of
10th. Later on he mined in Cripple
Creek, eastern Ncvad@ and Arizona,
and has visited and passed judgment
on probably as many mines and camps
any man who has visited Goldfeld,
No to date. He has made ~ careful
,nspection of this camp and these are
Lis Impressions:
"Goidfeld is the land of easy OPP
%portunity, and the daily strikes, made
1T less expenditure of money and Ia
hor than in any mining place any of
as have ever known, are demonstrate
inc wonderful possil ilities. Where
| else is there AN equal area to this great
aoat -strCwn region, whose length and
breadth, proved by discoveries of ore,
are known TO he miles, IN all, as it
looks today not less than one hundred
| SVtliFS i1titSg LING Wolh htNtl HHo
| disclosed like amounts of high class
ore. Properties never have contribu-
ted so much to their own development
rs here in Goldfieid. II is true that
| not all shoots come 10 surface, though
many have, and many more will be
found to come, as IN the Gold Bar,
Combination, and in several of the
fine strikes made this month.
There is no country where from 50
shallow "a depth prosecuting is war
ranted. With SO much in evidence, so
large Il product, not enough work has
been done to establish theories at the
arrangement and distribution, upon
which 10 predicate any system that
| shall stand until the next strike shall
be made.
among us there is none So wise
rs to venture prediction as to where
and under what conditions the next
discovery will be made. 1t may be
northeast, it may be southwest, or it
may be any point in amy direction
within five miles or more from Gold
field postoffice.
"In the twenty-five ana more years
that ! have been studying. mining
fields | have never seen one like this,
| wherein prior to development any one
claim so nearly approximates the
worth of any other claim. There may
be vaster fortunes in BuilfrOg, or III
| Tonopah, but it is sure that there are
more fortunes for more men, right
here, than in any place throughout
this vast desert region, whose cOntri-
buttons of riches have exceeded any
country ever opened in same length
of time, whose fabulous mineral
wealth is beyond possibility Of esti-
mate, and will be productive forever.
..Thore are no elevations to permit
of extensive tunnel development.
There will be no immense drainage
endeavors as at Cripple Creek, and
probably no such reservoirs to drain.
The small volcanic lifts are but so
little higher than the mean level of the
desert that shafts will be the sole
method of development, but with un-
limited power, before winter sets in,
from California electric power plants,
the smooth running electric hoists and
pumps will speedily make their way
for hundreds of feet, and Goldtield
will be unique and economical.
"With the broad-guaged line from
the north, fast building, and to be
here early this fall, the needed timbers
will be obtainable at reasonable cost,
and wonderful activity will disting-
uish this from almost any other camp,
added to which will be the great vol
ume of business in distributing to
scores of others camps.
"Its advantage as to climate is i'm
portant, for it is healthtul, endurable
all the year, it's nights are always
cool and good water in abundance is
an incalculable asset which assures
permanency, and will make it the res
idential point for those interested
within one hundred miles.
~"Tonopah upon individual merit,
also firmly established, % miles away,
is in DO sense a rival. AS naturally
IS camps east and west and for many
miles south will depend upon Goldfeld,
50 too are there many camps north Of
Tonopah and adjacent to contribute to
its welfare.
''In the desert between as yet no
camps promise to divide trade and at
t~ention. Each is assured of prosperity. |
Each is as different as to conditions
