of pleasure.
Pleased With Camp.
:" 1 am greatly pleased with the APP
pearance of Goldfeld, and the extent
of the mineral bearing area of the
camp is a surprise to me-" said Mr..
Sehwab, during the course of an in
terview with representative of the
News IN the apartments of the Monte
yuma club. "What pleases me most
though is the splendid reception ac-
corded me, and | desire to express my
thanks therefor to the members of this
cosy little club. 1t is always pleasant
to be given cordial welcome and in this
instance the greeting has been of u
nature to make me feel as though l
were one of you rather than a visitor.
This is my first visit to Goldfield, but
not to Tonopah, as l was in that hust-
ling camp about year ago.
At this juncture Charles j. Moore,
the well known mining engineer, was
introduced to Mr.. Schwab, and after
acknowledging the introduction he
said: 81 know you well by reputation,
Mr. Moore, and it affords me pleasure
to greet you in person. Only recently
| read with much pleasure an interest
ing article of yours that was published
in the columns of the Goldfield News
1t contained much valuable informa
tion which | have treasured in my
memory for use during my present
trip
Continuing the interview with the
News reporter Mr.. Schwab said:
~ Goldfeld is certainly hustling,
wide-awake camp and one of which
you all may well be proud. | am here
for the purpose of making an investi-
cation of the mineral zone of Southern
Nevada and am more than pleased with
what / have thus far seen. l am proud
to say that l am personally interested
in the mines of the desert and have no
hesitancy in stating that the result of
the present trip may result in my in
Wrestling further. / visited the Florence
mine this morning and also the Reilly
ease on. that company's ground, and
the rich deposits uncovered therein are
certainly marvellous. I regret that my
engagements make it impossible to
further inspect the mines here and
hope on my return from Bullfrog few
days hence to again find opportunity
for so doing, and also to again visit the
Montezuma club. 1t is my belief that
Southern Nevada is destined to be de-
veloped into the greatest mining Sec
tion in the world. / invested therein
on the representations Of John Nc
Kane, and with the utmost confidence,
and the outcome has convinced me
that the investment was well made.
am also confident that the next year
will record vastly increased output
from the mines Of this entire mineral
belt, and believe me, the world has be-
come awakened to this fact.
cit is our intention to push the ex-
ploitation of our properties as rapidly
as is possible under the present facil-
tiles for handling the product; and one
of the main purposes of my present
visit is to look into the advisability
of establishing a smelter somewhere In
this section for the treatment of the
ores mined in our properties. This
plan, however, is as yet embryonic and
! / am unable to state at this time just
what the result will be in that respect.
Mr.. McKane is the arbiter in the mat
/ ter, and whatever he advocates in the
way of improvements at our mines and
in the line of future investments, will
meet with my approval. 1t is our pur-
pose to visit our holdings at Bullfrog,
which include the Great Eastern group
and others, and / may state that any
thing in the way Of profitable mining
investment that may be offered US will
receive eonsiderate attention.
When asked if he had any invest
ment in sight at this time Mr.. Schwab
replied, "that is somewhat Of leading
question which the future must be left
to answer
There is a persistent rumor current,
however, that deal is pending for the
purchase of number of prominent
Goldfeld producers by the Schwab syn
dicate; but these rumors are denied by
the officials of the interested COM
panies.
Dimes With Indians.
Mr.. Schwab and party were the
luncheon guests of the Indians at the
Palm restaurant, and after the appetiz-
ing edibles had been enjoyed, pleas
ant hour was passed in the exchange
of amenities. Senator Nixon presided
as toastmaster and was introduced by
Henry Weber, big chief of the desert
tribe. In welcoming Mr.. Schwab to
Goldfeld Senator Nixon said in part
son behalf of the pioneers of Gold
field, the members of the Montezuma
club, and the Indians, as well as of
the people of the state of Nevada, |
wish to welcome to our midst today one
of the greatest international characters
that we have-Mr. Charles M. Schwab.
"Mr. Schwab is with us today as the
result of the friendship existing be
tween him and our friend, John Nc
Kane. He is the man to whom the peo-
pie of Goldfield, of Tonopah and of the
state of Nevada are indebted for the
presence of Mr.. Schwab here at the
present time.
sWe wish to say to you, Mr.. Schwab,
