NEW Law

A law partnership has been formed
between Charles s.. Wilson and l.. E. c.

building. Both members of the firm
are well and favorably known in Gold
field and also in Colorado, Mr.. Wilson
having practiced for many years in

and Gold Mining company, and has
been connected with much of the i'm
portant mining litigation of the Grip
pie Creek mining district.
Mr.. Hinckley, before becoming d
resident of Goldfeld, practised his pro-

THE ..NEws'' ANNUAL EDITION

On or about the 18th of December
next the Goldfeld News will issue what
it hopes, and has reason to believe, will
be the largest and handsomest special
edition ever published in Nevada.
Since the discovery of Goldield there
rave been many special editions of out
side newspapers which were devoted
principally to this section. Some of
these were good and of benefit to the
camp, many were Indifferent and others
positively harmful in their effect.
Knowing that the News is conserva-
tive and reliable, and that such is its
reputation both here in the camp and
on the outside, we have at different
times been importuned to get out a
special edition giving a resume of the
camps history, but up to now it has
been impossible to spare the time to
do the work properly.
And we do not intend to do it at all
unless it is done properly.
The work of compilation will be done
thoroughly. 1t is the intention to men
tion every property on which work has
Deen done, to state the amount and
character of such work and the results
obtained. In this manner not only will
the production of the camp to date be
accurately obtained but the amount of
work done in producing the results will
also be shown. We have always in
sisted that the production of Goldfeld
to date, wonderful as it is when viewed
in any light, is still more remarkable
when the amount of work and money
spent is taken into consideration.
1t is not the intention to confine this
history to Goldfeld alone, but all the
camps of Southern Nevada will be
given due prominence.
This special number will be issued
in magazine style on account of the
convenience in handling and fling
away for reference. The ordinary
style of a newspaper is such that no
matter how valuable it's contents may
be considered, it is often thrown away
on account of the Inconvenience of its
form.
The edition will be profusely illus
trated and the pictures will aid facts
and figures to impress upon the reader
the story of Goldfeld's remarkable
growth.
The work OF compilation will be done
principally by Mr. X r. Casper, a
gentleman who has made a speciality of
this work and who is thoroughly
familiar with the camps of Southern
Nevada. The News is fortunate in Sc
curing the services of Mr., Casper and
he promises that he will make it the
browning effort of his newspaper ca

GETS BUSY.

Still another has been added to the
long list of fires caused by gasoline
stoves. ThS latest sufferer is j. Fl.
Plummer who owns, or rather did own
a residence near the reduction works
until $3.50 O'Clock Wednesday night.
At that hour a defective stove of the
gasoline variety successfully disposed
of the house and its contents. The fire
was not discovered until the interior
was a mass of flames and as there was
no chance of saving it no alarm was
turned in.
