After a two weeks trip from San

Reno, Tonopah and Goldfeld, / am
here at last; at least all there is left
of me. IN frankly admit that i did
not see Rhyolite and her sister camps
through glasses as rose eolored as they
might have been, after an automobile
ride OF seventy-five miles and twenty

from humping against each other for

A lady over in Tonopah remarked
that 1T required a good deal of courage
to attempt the trip into Bullfrog and
Rhyolite by automobile. Looking back
over the way from this terminal, /
should say that it required a great
deal more courage to leave.
To any n who is yearning for a
glimpse of the sea, or a real bona-fde
sea sick sensation, a long way from
water, l suggest an overland trip to
Goldfeld. The beautiful lake, mir
rored in the heart of the desert, while
only a delusion and a snare, will bring
across the range OF our mental hori-
zon, other "days that have as happy

long, white trails winding across the
desert and through the mountain pas

Then, bye-and-bye, when you least
expect it, you round a curve with a re-
verse English grip and a city of tents,
pulsing and quivering in the white
heat, bursts upon your line of vision.
That is Bullfrog and Rhyolite-I
haven't found out yet which is the
suburb, but at any rate, the camps that
are just now attracting wide spread
attention. 1 interviewed many promi-
Lent mining men and capitalists from
San Francisco to Rhyolite, who are in
a position to know whereof they speak,
and they have no hesitancy in saying
this is prominently the coming min
ing district of Nevada, and predict a
boom this tall that will make every
body sit up and take notice.
just now the camps are quiet every
where, and the only thing in evidence
that impresses the new arrival is the

When you pay for the burlesque
comforts of a mining camp, you must
not forget to feel like a millionaire
when you pay it; otherwise the prices
might hurt your feelings.
But as no one came here to disap-
