The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1905-08-25

which this wonder state of Nevada
sens to be crossed, the second persons
were P~hiladelphians to whom an ap-
peal was made for the capital necessa-
nv to realize on the finds of the dis
~coverers. And Philadelphia responded
as afterwards Pittsburg, too. did.
An eminent citizen of the Quaker
City. John W. Woodside, photographed
across thousands Of miles the first $780,
600 that went into Nevada for develop
ment work; other keen, business men,
far seeing. calm, confident. took posi-
tions bcsid him and now the market
value of the stock Of that pioneer
company which Woodside enabled to
organize is upwards of $~13,500,000 and
probably would not he disposed of by
its holders for less than twice that
sum.
Nevada has made fabulous fortunes
for SEINE. greater fortunes for others,
and still remains both able and willing
to be the fortune maker for those who
put their trust in her and who hack
mp their faith with their money.
When widely experienced men of
business propositions and to small
ones. give their support to a venture
a uncertain as mining is generally
reputed to he, the smaller investor
may accept without question the be-
lief that the opportunity for sure and
safe and large returns exists. Not all
mining ventures result in the attain
ment Of wealth, bn; neither 30 all
business ventures. The established
facts concerning the fortunes which a
great number of Philadelphians have
iaade, principally in Nevada, hut also
in .he other richly endowed mining
states OF the west, afford a safe guide
to those who perhaps have not until
this time been attracted to the offer
ings of these new mining districts.
The story OF the days of 40 and
he miners who floeked to California,
htAt fAAHV Jun ~ RiAo- LRI tAftH
like those of the Stanfords, Mackevs,
Hearsts, Crockers and Huntingtons is
actually heing repeated today and
there are within Philadelphia men who
have profited tremendously by their
mine holdings and who day by day
are laying the foundations for other
colossal fortunes.
Tonopah "a few years ago furnished
the opening chapter in TINS history,
Int it only began with Tonopah and
since has been continued by Goldfield
and Beatty and Rhyolte and Kawich,
and particularly in Bullfrog, though
Colorado and Arizona and other states
have interesting chapters to ada to it.
And IN the sister city of Pittsburg
there are also many shrewd investors
who have demonstrated their conf
denee in mines and mining as the
means of increasing wealth, Like Chas.
NJ. Schwab, the Parks and other well
known people.
The holdings OF these men are very
large, and some of them are owners of
anywhere from $4,000 to 100000 shares
each.
They believe in mining investments,
and their experience has been of such
a nature as daily to broaden and to
deepen that belief.
After the excitement of gold in Cal
~ifornia had died away men believed
that if they missed hat opportunity
another would never present itself.
But her came the enormous Comstock
lode. and after it had become estab-
ished they again believed that the
chance for sudden and tremendous
wealth was over. But again fortune
kept right on, and then Cripple Creek
was found, and ronopah, and then
Goldfeld, and now Bullfrog, and Rhyo-
lite and Kawicb, and other properties
throughout Nevada and the neighbor-
ing states of California. Colorado, Ari-
IONA and Mexico.
Conservative men believe that to
morrow the story of yesterday will be
repeated. They are confident that
great opportunities still exist for for
tune making in mine investments.
They are sure that history win repeat
itself, as it has done from the earliest
time. Their example is one which the
investor of today, be he largely en-
dowea with wealth he desires to see
increased, or only moderately go, may
well set before himself.
Opportunities exist beyond all ques-
ton; the investor need only concern
himself with where he shall seek them.
