Tells C~alifornians About the Goldfeld
District.


10 T.. Carroll, who has been en-
ployed as a reporter on the Bullfrog
Miner has returned to Bakersfield, ar
irving here Unexpectedly yesterday
morning on the Owl from San Fran
cisco, where he has been since last
Saturday. 10 was obliged to leave
the mining country on account of
sickness.
In speaking of the mining district
he is very enthusiastic. In talking
with a Bakersfield Echo representative,
he said:
"After all the hard knocking that
Tonopah was given through misrep-
resented reports as to its sanitary and
climatic condition.. it is today a mod
ern mining camp, with all the com
forts of up-to-date cities. It's mines
are all fast coming in as dividend pay
ers. All night the nearby-mines ere
ate a beautiful sight with the hundreds
of electric lights on their workings.
"Goldfeldf Well, there is only one
Goldfeld. In my experience of mining
camps, and that has covered a few,
I never saw it's equal. No matter the
hour of the day or night you can al
ways find some one buying. Business
continues, whether in the cafes or res
taurants, even the gambling tables dur
ing the play, deals are considered or
transacted.
"Last summer when ! dropped in
it looked good to me and if it looked
good then it surely looks better now.
Buildingss Well we have a few and
others that are now being erected,
that would make some modern build
ings look like 80 cents. They are built
out of a white stone taken from a near
by quarry.

Randsburg, has just moved into his
new building. 1t cost $4,000. Pretty
good for a young man that worked for
wages in Bakersfield.
California never did cut much in
the development of Tonopah of Gold
field. Colorado and Utah followed the
many investors from Philadelphia and
have made good.
eyes, Goldfeld has a future in the
mining world. The development work
done shows better values, and the min
ers are bringing in good bodies of
shipping ore. This class of ore must
be as good as 800 ore, so you can i'm
agine what is left on the dump to lie
handled by the mills later on. What
will this ore mill? One of the best
ore buyers in the district told me that
every ton of ore On the dumps of the
producing mines and leases around
Goldfeld would average $50.
"Leasing made Tonopah, and it
will do the same for Goldfeld. Re-
member mining is expensive and the
leasing of a parcel of a claim is the
same gamble that one takes in driv-
ing a well on proven oil land in the
Bakersfield oil district. The only diff
ference is when you do strike the ore
you are in a position to soon he on
the top round. Many stories about the
richness of Goldfeld are taken as
"pipe Dreams" but the lodges and the
sacks of ore on the dumps awaiting
daily shipment are the best evidences.
"You hear about leasers being a det--
riment to the property they are work
ing on. That is they tear it all up, rs
it were. Leasers are human and they
are taking chances in sinking thous-
ands of dollars on a lease, but when
they encounter an ore body they at
once figure on the best method of de-
veloping their find. Surely it is to their
interest to block out the ore to the
best advantage.
"Goldfeld will ~outlive the anvil
chorus that have transferred their
attention from Tonopah to the new
field. Goldfeld today has all the mod
ern convenlences. On the completion
of it's broad-gauge railroad with the
Southern Pacific railroad, the installa-
ton of the sub-power station, the pro-
posed water pipe line and the compile
ton of the many mills now on the way,
then there will be only one Goldfield.
"This fall will see thousands of
prospectors headed for the Funeral
range and the Panamint country
Death Valley will be ~prospected from
one end to the other and Walter Scott
