The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1905-06-09
COLDFIELD IS ALL RIGHT.

H. tie Issue OF May 3lst Of the Los
angeles Times there is an article sent
II from Goldfelh ~ q special CORE
svon3ent, which has created consid-
c-rlIe in lisnation in tie camp. There
is Just enough truth in the story rs
ruIiished to give it an air Of plauSi-
Eflity, ttt on careful reading it Is
very evident thai the writer not only
was attempting to get even with the
gimp for some fancied grievance, but
that lie lad his hammer out for a
ru,nl er OF individuals with whom he
wished TO get even.
During the .wintor the editor of the
Esws was in Los Angeles and had a
personal interview with Harry Chand-
'Isr, managing editor of the Los An
ecles Times. After hearing the sen
t~-.nents regarding Goldfeld which Mr..
Clan Her expressed at that time, we
Dr. not lelieve that the "roast' -
which appeared on May 3lst went in
t. the paper with his knowledge and
consent, and before unreservedly con
deauing the Times we should wait to
sec whether the managing editor is
willing or unwilling to make correc-
ten.
We have written him personally
rnd guaranteed to pay the expenses
Of himself or a competent mining eX-
pert Of reputation if one of them will
co,ne to Goldfeld, make a thorough
reefs and towns, and agree to publish
TIE facts in the Times az he hnds them.
We lelieye that this is such a fair
proposition that it will be impossible
for the Times TO refuse to accept it.
If it does, Goldfeld need have no
fear of the result. It's record today
stands unparalleled in the history of
gold mining. While the camp is rath-
e. quiet at present, it is quiet only
u comparison - that IS, although
there is n great production from the
r,iaes, and a large volume of business
heiI. tranSactel in the t0wns-it is
rot es great as il was some weeks
ago This is from 2 variety of causes,
not one Of which ies any bearing up
CT the permanent future Of the camp.
I. has always loen q convincing ev-
idence OF the faith in the future OF
Coldfold that the old-timers of the
oagnp are the ones who have paid
TIE highest prices for mining and
town property, and who are erecting
TIC most Substantial and permanent
Buildings. senator Nixon and George
Eingfeld were two Of tue first men
Eho put money into Goldfeld. Unless
n deal now on the tapis goes through,
they nave paid the highest price FOR
2 lot in Goldfeld, viz. 10000. On
that lot they have 4 stone building
credit to almost any city. Many other
substantial improvements have been
.saade, tie money for which was prin-
ciVally furnished by the pio"eers OF
Cldfeld in the firm belief-if not
.knowledge that their investments
Eitl return them q greater per cent
&c interest than it would be possible
g. 20 elsewhere. A handsome hotel,
Ehich win cost $4,000, is now in course
c erection, and nearly every cent was
~! ~cIiLed by the pioneers of Goldield,
~ aause they know it is a good invest
Rent.
The owner of the News was a pic
eAar Of the district, and he is giving
Nc same evidence of faith in it's flu
Elre. He row has the largest and
Rrobably the most substantial news
.Rrper office IN the state, and he most
certainly would not spend the $4,000
accessory to get this without having
good sound reasons for his belief that
tie plant would be a big money earn
er FOR years to corae.
He, and practically all the other
old timers, reinvest every dollar they
make right back in Goldfeld. 1t is
only the tenderfoot, and the man who
expects to swap two-bit pieces for
double eagles the first day he strikes
camp, that get "cold feet" because
a big body of $1,000 ore is not struck
every day; or because they do not
net $500 per day in business ven
lures.
GoIdfeld is all right.
1t will be all right for years after
the hammers of the knockers" are
worn out and gone to the scrap heap.
