Mr.. Thaler was there doing some
prospecting and says the reports Of
the country are exaggerated, and il
is overrun by men seeking employ
nent. There are about 800 mer
working at Tonopah in the silver
mines and about $50 men at Gold
fields. The country is staked for 10(
miles and it is certainly not pool
mans country for prospecting. If th.
money spent prospecting there wa.
spent in the Judith mountains tn,
showing would be much better thar
it is there, as he considers this
much better mining country than tn,
Tonopah district. Mr.. Thaler is al
expert miner and has followed mimi,
for rs years. He has valuable prou
erty near Butte. He also says tina
the newspaper reports of sickness
was correct; that the place is uu
healthy on account Of dust, bad waite
and unsanitary conditions.
