Prominent Miner Visits Tonopah Min.
ing District and Preneuness Il the
Richest in the World Rail-
road Being Built.

Butte, Feb. ls.-H. L. Frank, who
returned last night from his first visit
to Goldfeld. New. Is enthusiastic over
the prospect of the new mining dis
trict.
TT is without exception the largest
mineral zone I have ever seen," de-
clared Mr.. Frank in speaking Of the
Goldfield section this afternoon. "Tae
district is about 100 to zoe miles In
area and the values are simply phe-
nominal. It has only been open about
three years and today II ID the most
convenient. most prosperous mining
Of the business done there is In the
section In the entire country. Most
Of the business done there Is in the
operation Of leases. Several Iareg cor
porations are operating in this way. OF
course, there are innumerable private
enterprises and prospectors. but tine
greater part Of the region has already
been located. The district extends
clear to the California line and Is enor-
mously wealthy. OF late there have
been some big discoveries in the Bull
Frog, Lydia and Kiwash mountain dis.
tricts
"Tonopah, the terminus of the rail-
way, is smaller than Goldfield, 20 miles
away, and the reason of this is. Of
course, that Goldfsld is more nearly
in the center of the mining region AMI
the natural base of supplies. Goldield
in the last three years has acquired
a population of 5000, It is thorough
ly up to date, with electric lights. teie-
phones and all modern conveniences.
There are a number of other smaller
towns in the district, such as Nixon,
which is at present experiencing a
great boom.
For the most part the mineral is
gold, though there are some copper
properties and there are rumors Of
very rich strikes in the mountains. /
saw none OF these. however, and can
only speak from general report in re-
gard to the copper. The traffic at
present is so heavy that the railway
facilities are entirely inadequate for
the handling of the shipping. There is
some talk of running the railway to
Goldfield.
"At present Goldfieid is 20 miles
from the railroad, but there are some
excellent wagon roads and all sorts OF
conveyances from coaches to automo-
biles. A survey has been made from
Tonopah to Goldfield looking to the
extension Of the railway. The Tonopan
railway and Virginia City and True
kee are now narrow gauge roads, but
are to be broadened to the regular
guage in the near future.
II do not think the country has been
overrated in any respect In the
Jumbo mine, for instance, in the last
four months they have taken out $780,
900 worth Of ore.
Il think there will be a stampede
there in the spring, and, considering
the convenience of getting there, 1t is
not at all surprising that a tremend-
GUS boom is on"
