are operating in this way. OF course
there are innumerable private enter

miles away, and the reason of this
is, of course, that Goldfield is more
nearly in the center of the mining re.
giOn and the natural base of supplies.
Goldfield in the last three years has
acquired population of 5000. It is
thoroughly up-to-date, with electric
lights. telephones and all modern con-
veniences. There are a number of
smaller towns in the district, such as
Nixon, which is at present experienc.
ing 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.
l 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 Goldfield is 20 miles
from the railroad, but there are some
excellent wagon roads, and all sort of
conveyances from coaches to automo-
biles. A survey has been made from
Tonopah to Goldfield looking to the
extension of the railway. The Tono-
pah railway and Virginia City and
Truckee are now narrow guage roads

With something more than two hun.

last Saturday had passed eight; of
those that had been enacted the bills

OF these, the initiative and referen-

liant; week ago it looked as if the
differences Of opinion regarding this
measure would result in a deadlock
which would defeat the passage of any

more encouraging; there is reason to

liberal enough to warrant their sup

A letter just received from A. F.
Wright. who is now in Chicago, states
that negotiations for the sale of the
Spotted Horse mine, at Maiden, and
the New Year property, at New Year.
to the Federal Gold Mines company
were progressing favorably, and ex-
pressing the belief that the deal will
be closed up.
Former Governor Maitland, of Mich
1gan, is at the head of the syndicate
composing the Federal company, and
he is convinced that the investment
will prove profitable one. The Spot
ted Horse was one of the richest
mines in this section of the country
in early days, and even with the crude
methods of mining then employed
was enormously profitable. 1t has
been allowed to lie practically idle
for several years, but that there is
still great wealth in it is not doubted
by any one who are familiar with it's
history.
Inc New Year property Is full OF
possibilities, and to company having
ample capital to explore and work it
on large scale, it is sure to make
rich returns.

qualified to Judge as to the real mer-
its of mining district than H. l..
