Dividends and a satisfied clientele
are the two essential factors in the
success of any proposition foated by
public subscription. While the one is,
of course, consequent to the other, it
is, however, possible to have pleased
clients without an enterprise having
reached the dividend period. Fortu-
nate indeed is the management which
has a satisfied clientele, made SO
through the payment of liberal divi-
dends.
This company paid % per cent divi
dends in 1904, and judging from the
present outlook dividend disburse

The credit for. the u~pbuilding of

and Coloradoans are pleased to note
his magnificent success in connection
with this enterprise. Quite recently

These it must be understood, are sell
ected from quite a number of tests and
shows most of their best values obtain
ed. These high results are accounted
for by the owners invariably selecting
the very best pieces of quartz, whilst
my object was to get as near the aver
age of the mineralized matter as was
obtainable with the one exception
above mentioned.

several days ON the property and have

No stronger point can be advanced

Already Gold Crater, about 30 miles
southeast of Goldfeld, is showing some
good ore, while Kawich, 80 miles still
further east, is sending in good re-
ports of rich discoveries.
1t is in this rich section that Wei
lington District is situated. Half way
between Goldfeld and Kawieh and
about six miles from Gold Crater, Wei
lington is the coming camp. The rich
outcropping, the splendid result from
samples taken from the entire acreage,
the fact that it's formation and all
of its general characteristics is almost
a reproduction of the wonderful Flor
ence mine of Goldfeld justifes us in
the belief that Wellington will be the
scene of great activity and the center
of a great camp within the next six
months.

belief hat a mine of great value will
be made. Not at any point along this
great mineralized zone of the Nevada
Desert does better conditions exist or
more favorable signs of a big producer
being found.
AS the railroad will reach Goldfeld
about September 18th, and three mills
and reduction works have just started
with several others in the course of
construction, these facilities will great
ly reduce the cost of mining and treat
ing all the ores of this vast district.
1t may not be amiss to mention in
this report that considerable excite
ment prevails today at this place over
the discovery of a big find in the
Kawich Range. The ore assays from
thirty dollars to $500 per ton and was
uncovered at a depth of 100 feet. 1
consider this of great Importance to
the Wellington Goldfeld property and
to the district generally, as this point
and the Gold Crater camp are among
your nearest neighbors. No better evil
dence of the value of your properties
car be given than the rich strikes that
have been made in the adjacent camps,
and too much stress cannot be placed
upon these facts. Respectfully sub
mitted, Yours very truly,

10 OUR -KHOLD

AS per announcement / have just re-
turned from Goldfeld where l went
to investigate and report on the n OPP
critics of the Wellington Association.
1t is a pleasure for mfe to be able
to say that | found them infinitely bet
ter than l had expected to find them.
The Wellington Goldfeld group will, in
my opinion, "become among the rich
est producers in the district
In company with Mr.. Samuel G.
Knott, a mining man of great expert
ence, who has made a study of the
conditions in Goldfeld, we explored
this group from end line to end line,
taking samples of quartz from the
veins covering its entire area, and had
assays run from % samples taken from
the entire surface by ourselves. Every
one of these samples made a showing
in gold, running from $3.50 to 1884
"a ton. A selected sample running
s1358.14.
Now a single assay, no matter how
rich, does not prove a mine, but when
for your own information you take
% samples from various parts of a
group of claims, and every sample
shows good values in gold, then you
are at least justified in believing that
you have the making of a mine, and
a big mi at that.
Our judgment was strongly backed
up by our intelligent prospectors. These
Lien had been in southern Nevada for
two years hunting for the prospects
that could be found. They had studied
this great mineral belt CAREFULLY and
long; had located claims in every ia
vorable section, and after working
long and patiently to prove up the
best, they knew that this group had
given them the beS6 evidences of con-
tanning rich mineral, and they had set
their camp here and settled down to
hard work to develop the best pros
poets in southern Nevada.
You will bear in mind that this is
not leased, or bonded and leased, but
is the property of the Wellington Gold
field Mining Company, bought and
paid for in full, no Indebtedness of
any kind on it, but decided and record
ed and work is now progressing rapidly
to develop it into one of the biggest
producers of this rich country.

better than the oxidized portions above
that these values will undoubtedly con-
tinUe as long as the Lode Porphyry
exists there remains not n shadow of
doubt in my mind, and it is the opin-
ion of several gentlemen of high stand
ing and worldwide reputation as min
ing engineers that this condition will
extend to a great depth.
As an argument in favor of this be
lief, | might say that at Tonopah, one
of the richest mining camps in the
Nevada district, and situated about
twenty-five miles to the northwest,
with the veins located in a similar for
nation to that of the Wellington dis
triet, ore is found to a depth of one
thousand feet with the values slightly
on the increase.
Possibilities.
After having spent several months
investigating the mineral resources of
the Nevada gold fields. and about two
weeks in the careful study of forma-
tion and general characteristics of this
district, | cannot help but feel that the
possibilities for the same are exception
ally good, and / have no nesitaney in
recommending this group of claims to
you or your friends as a safe and reli-
able mining investment.
NY opinions are entirely based on
the favorable mineralized conditions
existing in this territory and the I'M
usual high results of my assays. l
doubt if better results were obtained
on any of the big producers in the
Goldfield district at the time of their
discovery, and certain it is that no
better mineralized conditions existed
at the vein out-crop than can be found
along the course of the veins on your
property.

A TRIP TO %eoLDf1ELD.

On my return from Goldfeld I pub
lished an account of my trip, from
which I take the following paragraphs
which are appropriate to this article.
Because rich ore and quantities of
it have been found in southern Nevada,
and because it is generally recognized
4 that unknown quantities will yet be
/ found, because there is a ~"genuine' =
is the reason there is a counterfeit.
The very fact that there are so many
"hot air fakes is a pretty good evil
dence that they are counterfeitIng
something good. The gold fields OF
southern Nevada present magnificent
opportunities for making vast fortunes
by honest development, and because OF
this they offer the best opportunities
for the wild eat and fraudulent oper-
ator. Take a fair chance in Goldfeld,
BUT be sure you are getting IA fair run
for your money. Don't invest blindly
in hope that luck will strike you, the
chances are all against you. Find out
positively that the company you pro-
pose to invest in owns the property 1T
is talking about, and that there is sub
! ~stantial reasons for believing that 1T
can be developed into a paying mine;
Adon't speculate in the sale of stocks.
Buy treasury stock to help develop a
good property; don't buy pool stock
from cut rate brokers. Such purchases
don't help to develope the property,
and if you gamble with cut rate brok-
ers' stocks you deserve to lose your
money and should receive no sympathy
when you lose, as you surely will.
Goldfield is a wonderful camp. Be-
ing the first discovered it has naturally
monopolized the center of the stage.
But since the discovery of Goldfeld, a
vast number of prospectors, and a
goodly number of prospecting and pro-
noting companies are securing the
desert and it is more than probable
nat many new camps just as good as
Goldfeld will be opened up. Already
Bull Frog has a boom, and shows
Indications of having a good n e Tule

considerable attention.
In my judgment, after a careful
study of the cnditions, / am led to be-
ieve that within six months there will

The above telegram came as a pleas
ant surprise TO the management. 1t
shows that our superintendent at the
mine has great confidence in the out
come and is backing up his judgment
with his money. 1t means that all
who wish to secure Wellington Gold
field stock for less than 25c a share
had better start their orders at once.
The matter of advancing the price
to Csc will be quick and sudden.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
Wellington Goldfeld. The boys are
working in very rich ground. Some day
before long they will open up a large
body of ore which we are going after,
then will come a telegram from Gold
field. erich body of ore just opened
up, stock worth one dollar a share.
Come OUT
When that telegram arrives not an
other share of stock will be sold until
we have settled on its actual value,
which will probably be anywhere from
soc to $1.0o a share. The prospect
will then be proved and you will have
to pay mine prices instead of prospect
prices. THIS is where the big money is
made in mining. Buy a low-priced
stock in a good prospect and have it
advance = thousand per cent by de-
velopment with the money which you
put in. / sincerely believe this is
what will happen with Wellington
Goldfeld, and we earnestly urge our
stockholders to take all the Wellington
|Goldfield they can carry at Toe a share.
In a few weeks you will surely be
paying zoe or more a share for it.

ern Nevada these days, but that they
arc being discovered right along there
ia no question. A prominent mining
engineer of large experience stated last
winter in an interview published in
the News, that there was a mine or
two in every knoll or ridge in this
section of the state, and his prediction
is being borne out.
The latest to attract the attention of
the mining men of this district is
Camp Wellington, situated some
tweuty-seven miles east of Goldfeld
and almost seven miles from the -four
ishing camp of Gold Crater. Late last
fall prospectors found rich float rock
in this district and staked out a group
of claims, doing location work, sur
yeying and recording. Early this
spring they began a systematic search
along the outcrop of the vein for the
point from which the rich float had
been broken, After several weeks of
prospecting they were rewarded by
finding places that panned well, and
that assayed close to $4,000. AT no
point had they reached a depth to ex-
coed eight feet, yet they were con-

amount of capital to sink shafts and

1t was at this opportune moment
that The Wellington Association IS

p~earance.
Mr.. w. w. Degge, President of the
Association, and Mr.. SamI G. Knott,
representing it in Goldfeld, visited the
property. They made a thorough and
systematic investigation, taking their
own samples, % on the first visit COW
ering over a hundred acres of ground.
Every one OF these samples run well IN
gold, and after being thoroughly con-
WINGED that they had the making of
a great mine, the property was bought
and paid for and a systematic course
OF development begun.
The splendid result of this develop
ment to date can best be shown by the
letters of the Superintendent, Mr..
SamI G. Knott, to the President, be-
ginning with a report on the properties
and then telling the exact conditions as
the work progressed. These letters
were written to tell the management
the exact conditions as they existed,
and may therefore be accepted as
entirely accurate.

plished on these veins, several speci-
mems of the bright yellow metal have
been found. This condition is consid-
cred as positive evidence that rich
bodies of ore will be found in the solid
formation and where the ground has
been u~ndisturbed.
That the ore will eventually be-
come of a sulphide character with
depth, which carries extremely rich
~sylvanite ore, is a proven fact, IS in
the Goldfeld District reference might
be made to a number of cases, but to
cite one, that of the Florence property
at a depth of about three hundred feet
is producing some of the richest ore
in the form of ~syivanite that the camp
has ever beer credited with, and unless
the proven theories are decidedly con-
trary to past development this group
of claims will become among the rich
est producers in the district, as very
seldom can be found the same condi-
tons and the high values which have
beer obtained from several points COW

which are embodied in another part of

The development or exploitation of
these several veins has beer very limit
ed, but where ever the quartz veins are
exposed by open cuts or trenches, the
values are found to be unusually high
