Many Of the latter class will doubtless
be successful.
The Bullfrog district has hardly kept
pace with its neighbor on the north IN
the matter Of keeping up the excite
ment and public interest, but this is
not because the mines are not all there
Just the same. Bullfrog is little too
far out of the world to make itself
heard aften enough. 1t was so far
away that boosters could tell any old
sort Of lies about 1t without fear OF
contradiction for month at q time.
Thus they early gave the MontgomeryA
ShOshOne mine credit for containing by
actual measurement" $50, 600, 900 worth
Of ore. There were many stories like
this circulated about a year ago at
this time and when they were ex-
ploded finally q sort OF reaction set IN.
Bullfrog has had much to contend with.
The summer was a trying time IN that
locality. Men could not stand the
heat and were compelled to leave. Then
II was found almost impossible to
transport ore by team seventy miles to
Goldheld and nearly 1000 miles by rail
from Goldfield to smelter, at q profit.
SO Bullfrog is waiting for a railroad,

space Of a few months time. No one
can tell what they will uncover there
when the proposition is tackled in a
miner-like, businesS-like way, as is
about to happen. Things like this in
the situation are what make it i'm
possible to predict with any degree Of
reliability what the production Of the
camp will amount to during the COM
ing year, but it will be seen that every
indication is full Of promise. Men here
claim that Goldfield has not had it's
boom yet; they promise wonderful eX-
element during the next few months.
There are many things that ought to
be mentioned in an article Of this char
acter, but 1t is hard to decide what to
include and what TO leave out, for no
paper could afford space for them ALL
Tents and cabins are disappearing
slowly but surely. There never was
but one Goldfeld, and it is almost a
pity to see 1t, as 1t was written about,
disappear. A strip of land FIVE miles
long and one mile wide was covered
with white tents, dugouts. cabins made
OF everything from beer bottles and
corsets to pine lumber, and sheep herd
ers' wagons. Suburban towns sprang
up and even outlying districts were
dotted with temporary habitations for
a space of ten miles. Substantial, and
IN some cases pretentfous, residences
and modern blocks are going up now
and taking the place of the temporary
shacks. An immense commercial In
dustry is being founded on the success
of the mines.
There are fourteen mines and 200
prospects which hope to become mines.

the place people dream about. There
are several causes contributing to this
situation. In the first place heavy
capitalists got hold of Tonopah mines
and small investors had little show.
Secondly and thirdly, the ore Is for the
most part low grade and required real
money to pay for mining; and lastly
Goldfield Is advertised, ano-it pays
to advertise.
Investors. fortune seekers, capital
lists. soldiers of fortune and adven-
turers are headed for Nevada and
have been going into Nevada for the
past five years. They leave the main
overland highway 300 miles on the
north, and the first mining camp they
strike is Tonopah. They have merely
heard Of 1t as the place where Buffers
mule got in his best days work. The
free and easy-going boosters Of the
camp, all OF whom have had money
handed TO them, as It were, are very
polite and accommodating about show
ing the sights. They show the spot
where the mule found pay dirt and d.
late on the length and breadth Of the
great veins Of the camp. They tell the
visitor that It is all wonderful. And
he visitor agrees with them. and feels
It, but all the time is anxious to eaten
he has read about in his home paper.
After he has been TO Goldf1eld he may
go on to Bullfrog, but If he does, he
is sure to return to Goldheld. where he
makes his headquarters. In these re-
marks there Is nc intention OF reflect
ing on Tonopah or Bullfrog, and this
article is not written by a Goldf1eld
booster, but The writer is simply tell
ing the gospel as he has learned Il.
Where Poor Men Have Chance.
AS stated, Goldheld is a high-grade
camp and a poor mans camp. BY a
poor mans camp is meant q place
where a man without means stands
Dust about as much chance to make
money as the man with bank roll
back of him. The Goldfleld district Is
a wide one. Location work was done
or about 5000 claims. covering some 100
square miles of territory. Most OF the
pay discoveries have been made in the
center of this district, but gold ore has
been shipped from points five miles
apart. II is a gold camp. Nothing but
GOLD has been discovered here, and
chunks Of IL have been uncovered
which were almost the pure stuff. That
is why some people think the place has
been lied about so much. Well, per-
haps IL has been lied about consider
ably, but the truth is plenty good
enough Rich strikes are constantly
being telegraphed over the country.
Men should learn to understand that
these strikes are for the most part Just
what they are represented to be, no
more, no less. If it is reported that
Smith" for instance, has broken into
a body Of $250,000 ore on the Lucky
Boy claim; that the vein is well de-
fined; that the indications are that It
will last forever. but that it would
require further development work to
determine the facts. there is no mis-
statement made. The only thing that

because this property Is typical Of
Goldf1eld. There is much other valu-

are mines which have produced more
gold, but there is little Jumbo stock
for sale, and in boosting it the
writer is playing no mans game; he
ls just throwing a side light on Gold
field itself.
Now that the litigation is about dis

be allowed to show what it can do,
and what Il will do is likely to make
the world sit UP and take notice. Ev-
cry miner acquainted with the dis
trict feasts his eyes longingly on that
hill. The great veins first discovered
varied in width from two feet to per-
haps twelve feet. The walls were

only time for the rich rock in the veins.

icised for is that there is no follow
up" story the next day, when 1t might
have been noted that Smith had fur
Their explored his find and discovered
that the ''vein" was a bunch and the
values had pinched out. But these lat
ter discoveries are seldom interesting.
Besides, Smith doesn't feel so badly,
he made a nice little bunch OF money
out of what he did find.
Great Record for First Year.
Since Goldfeld was populated, two
years ago, discoveries have been con-
stantly made. Some Of them have
yielded fortunes to the owners and
have then pinched out Others have
continued to contribute very regularly
to the wealth Of the camp. 1t is hard
ly worth while ir an article like this
to mention each mine In detail. The
general situation is pretty we'll I'M
derstood by all readers of daily pa
pers. II any one has perchance al
lowed Goldfield to suffer IN his or her
estimation IL would be we'll to recall
that no other camp in the worlds his
tory has done as much as this one
during the first two years OF existence.
It is impossible to say what the total
production will amount TO this year.
Some estimate as high as 100000 and
others as low as $4,000, COO If the sum
were 81, 900 900 1t would be sufficient to
Justify ali the interest that has been
accorded it.
Al impressive feature or the situa-
ton I'm camp is this: There are about
10000 people here. Nine thousand Of
them believe the hills hereabouts are
full of wealth. No one is discouraged.
On the contrary, everyone seems to
feel that the finding OF more wealth is
only a matter Of continued develop
ment work, and this work is being
done, often through great sacrifice of
money and strength Of honest miners.
These men are buoyed UP by shining
examples OF rewards gained by the
successful ones.
Fight for the Jumbo.
It Is Impossible TO more than predict
what The future holds. Those who re-
call the earliest startling stories of the
discoveries made viii remember how
men found gold on Jumbo hill and
carted II away under the guard OF
guns. A million dollars worth was
extracted at that time. and it came
from great veins which cropped on the
surface and dipped down almost per-
pendicularly into the bowels Of the
earth. These veins were worked to a
depth of about 100 feet. The leases on
them were all for short periods of time
and with their expiration the property
was plunged into litigation from which
Il is only now seeing its way clear.
Had it not been for this litigation the
history of the camp would have been
far more interesting for the period of
the past year. Some work has been
done there, It is true, but apparently
1t has not been carried on in earnest,
and no attempt has been made to hoist
ore. Notwithstanding this fact, the
company is in splendid condition
financially. and has just declared

THE ART OF EATING.


Pawlow has established the physio.
logical importance of the mental state
on digestion. having shown, for In
stance, that delicacies produce secre-
tion OF gastric juice as soon as they are
perceived by the eye. even before they
are eaten.
The food must not only be palatable
but must he served In an attractive
manner-fine dishes. table decorations.
etc
In eating we must take time to chew
orr food thoroughly. This serves a
double purpose-flrst. through the act
of mastjcation the coarser particles of
food are broken up; second. more ga.
Iva is secreted and is thoroughly mix
ed with the food The digestion of
starch is thus materially aided. and

whole object of the game being to win
tricks By leading high cards or by
trumping. Then came the era of Hoyle,

1880 to 1869 and taught players to
think not only of their own hands but
of the other hands also. and to take

showed that they might be used to dis.

other suits of less apparent power. II
was not until 1860 that the philosoph-
zeal era can be said to have begun. and
