eral tne health OF the town Ii ldlr
considering the way we have to find
ourselves, in tents, dugouts or any
old place. i am about three miles
east of the town and am very COM
fOrtably situated. Wages here are "a
per day, carpenters 48 and other
tradesmen about the same. There is
quite an amount of work going or,
as companies are leasing and bonding
claims and developing them.
People are coming in all the time
and big rush is expected in the
spring. Goldfield is now larger than
the number of paying mines can sup
port and see no reason to justify the
extension. There are some half dozen
paying mines, but they do not employ
many men. No strike of much inn
pOrtance has been made of late, yet
the prospects are good, for the forma-
alton is all alike and. the cayp has
not been developed, but on the other
hand 1t may be only in pockets and
not widely distributed, as yet one
cannot frame correct Judgment.
Time and work will prove the camp.
| Goldfield has a fair water supply
and not of bad quality. 1t is %
miles from the railroad, Tonopah be-
ing the terminus. think there is a
fair chance in this state to make
something by prospecting, for it is
practically virgin country, though
when new discovery is made the
immediate locality is located at once
and then extenden for miles in all di-
rections. 1t is staked around here
for miles. This is hard country to
prospect in. 1t takes money to outfit,
and there is little water and less feed
and both have to be carried along.
Winter is the season to go out. They
tell me the weather is very bad in
summer, so very hot.
You may be able to grasp an idea
from what have told you Of the con-
ditions that surround the prospector
or miner in this state or in the new
camps at least. That the eyes Of min
ing men are directed toward this
country is certain. Whether there is
anything to justify the excitement
will have to be determined by each
one for himself rs no general advice
can be relied upon. The cost is con-
siderable, the conditions are different
and the chances favorable enough.
The ore is very rich when found.
There are quite few new camps re-
porting new discoveries.
As for myself, as am here, i Will
remain for u season at least. i am
working at present, but If I get out of
a job I suppose will try my luck mt
mining in some form. 1 can't advise
you as to coming; you will have to
use your own judgment in regard to
that; you might do well and then
again you may not. There are means
of making money other than mining.
With little money one could find a
profitable investment in various bus
mess. 1 can't give you details Of all
conditions here and forms of invest
ments. This, you are aware, is the
same everywhere. You will obtain
some notion of the country from this.
1 can specify if you think of anything
special. Your friend,
