but the procession into the camp of
gold-hunters, the fear of death put
aside by the sparkle of wealth, is
undiminished.
That the conditions prevailing here
could exist in civilized America is all
only "a miles away. Goldfeld finds it
self in a condition fully as bad as
was found in Dawson, Skagway and
other northern cities In the first days
of the Klondike rush. Water is so
scarce that 1t is almost worth its
weight in gold. Provisions, medi-
cines, lumber, clothing, blankets, or

pectors with no thought other than
TO provide for their immediate wants,

considered a frill, something not
worth wasting time on, while the
gold lay in the hills awaiting the
miners pick to release 1t from it's
prison of centuries. Now the penalty
is being paid and that the price is a

world there was a rush of men out
of whose lexicon the word "precau-
ton had been stricken. They came
into camp with only their bare hands

CALIFORNIA THE WINTER RE.
SORT,

To those who wish to escape the
discomforts of cold weather, Cali
fornia presents a great variety Of re-
sorts. The mild, dry climate of San
Jose and Los Gatos, the soft sea
breeZes of Pacific Grove and Catalina
island, and the varied attractions of
numerous other resorts, all entice the
pleasure seeker with the assurance
of perpetual summer.
The trip to California via the Shas-
ia Route of the Southern Pacific COM
pany is one of great interest and
pleasure, passing through the fertile
valleys of western Oregon, near grand
old Mount Shasta, in northern Cali
fornia, and through the Sacramento
valley.
Round trip reduced rate tickets can
be purchased at Spokane to Los An.

strates that there have been three
distinct rhyolite (molten rock or
Laval flows of different periods.
When these flows covered the sur
rounding country a series of deep
porphyry dykes were intruded in the
Gaping and In their ascent gave out
siliceous solutions containing gold.
At present the ores are free milling,
but the deepest workings show the
appearance Of sulphides, sure indi-
cation of depth, value and perma-
nency. Diamondfeld and Columbia
belong to the same formation.
The Lide district is an old camp,
but under the present excitement has
been stimulated into renewed activ-
ity.
The Bullfrog camp promises to
Guido Goldfeld and the experts are
giving it much attention. Several big
strikes have been made.
The district, in its general appear
ance, is not unlike the camps of '49.
The silk hat, the kid gloves and the
creased trousers are unknown. The
dust-stained boots, the overalls, the
khaki, the corduroys and the SOM
breros are the visible signs that re-
call the old days. In the faces of the
sunburned and bearded men that
surge through the narrow, dusty
main street are instantly recognized
the argonauts, the same brand OF
men that blazed the path in the Cali
fornia rush. They are elemental mer
with all the crude virtues and vices
of the frontier. At night they crowd
the saloons or gambling halls, hand

district known as the Goldfeld min
ing district. The other five are To-
nopah, 26 miles northeast, where the
railroad ends; Columbia, one mile
northeast; Diamonddeld, four miles
east; Ida, 28 miles southwest, and
Bullfrog, about 20 miles south.
The first strike in the district was
made at TOnopah in May, 1900, by
James L. Butler, a stockman While
on a prospecting trip he discovered
rich mineral rock and located nine
claims. The group has since proven
itself among the worlds richest
claims. Other claims were staked
and Tonopah was soon a busting
little city. The permanence and
depth of her great ore bodies have
been demonstrated and increasing
development work and preparation
for the rapid and economical extrac-
ton OF it's ores have been carried on
since the camps inception. In the
three years Of it's existence II is esti-
mated that Tonopah has produced
nearly 100000 worth Of ore, but
one-half remains on the dump wait
ing for treatment and transporta-
ton. Only the high grade ores aver
aging over 500 to the ton have been
shipped. Charles Schwab, the steel
magnate, is heavily interested in the
district. The advent of Goldfield and
Bullfrog have given heavy stimulus
to the city's commercial development.

veins, maintaining a nearly. regular
strike or dip. The principal veins
average several feet in width. The
chief trend of the veins is from east
to west. but in the developed region
the veins diverge regularly so that
they lie like the spokes of a wheel.
Goldfeld was discovered by two
young men named Harry Stimler and
Will Marsh. While going over Co
lumbia mountain they found float

The cold is intense and the suf-
fering is rendered more acute by the
sharp winds that blow through the
cracks in wooden buildings and work
their way under the tents.
But while death is making its
strikes, the prospectors are doing
likewise. Rich finds, making million
aires in a day, are being made with
astonishing regularity Quartz that
is literally alive with gold is being
turned up. Claims that had been
abandoned as being worked out are
developing new streaks and proper
ties that have been steady workers
are yielding unloOked-for returns.
