w. ID. Lawton. the Gold Center
banker, was visitor at Las Vegas
Monday. Mr.. Lawton is well known
as a financier; as a keen. sound bust.
ness man and one whose experience
in handling large western enterprises
makes his counsel and opinion one of
great weight. He has unbounded
faith and confidence in the future of
what he terms the real gateway to the
greatest and richest mining district Ia
the world today-the Bullfrog coun-
try.
He fittingly places the merits and
advantages of Gold Center and its
contributary resources in the follow
ing comparative way:
"One year ago Goldfield was consid-
cred the richest and most extensive
gold bearing territory in the west
While the Goldfield section has it's
wonder makers 1t Is but the simple
statement of fact when | say that
today the Bullfrog district exceeds,
not alone in the size of it's mineral
zone, but in richness, in tonnage
capacity, having larger ore bodies of
both low and high grade quality. 1t is
essentially a district in which the
wage Garner receiving good wages
will be the means of making prosper
Gus the business factors so essential
to live city or town.
The sturdy tin bucket brigade to-
day is great but few years hence |
can fancy it in the numerous thou
sands with volume of money in ex-
change and in the channels of trade
as per capita larger than that of any
other point in the country.
The Bullfrog country has larger
| assure veins. These are so plentiful
that so eminent an authority as John
Hays Hammond has pronounced them
so remarkable as rather to be a great
mineralized reef which with develop
ment work would enrich the worlds
market with more precious metals
than would be extracted from the
South African gold zone. This opinion.
of the worlds eminent minerologist is
having its proof through the work
that reveals the immense ore bodies
of the Shoshone, Gold Bar. Tramp, The
Rush and their companion fortune
seekers-great values and permanency
is perfect demonstration.
These assurances are bringing
many travellers and permanent resi-
dents to our section.
THE shrewdest mining men of the
world are interested and like the
wide awake that are making fortunes,
new ones are coming in and acquiring
mining property and commencing
Operations to make newer and greater
bonanzas than already opened in and
around Gold Center and Rhyolite.
"The coming of the Clark road will
plant machinery at a reasonable cost
at the gates of Gold Center. Many of
fthe mine owners are awaiting the
touch of this commercial artery in or
der to secure their machinery and
lumber and materials in quantities to
facilitate the large operations neces-
sary to produce, handle and reduce
the great bodies of ore in the Gold
lcenter and Rhyollte section.
When the mastery enterprise of
Senator Clark viii reach Gold Center
the population and enterprises OF the
Gold Center Bullfrog envious win be
manifold to what It is today II will
be forward with leaps and bounds
Then viii be the time when the artisan
and business men will gain real
prestige and acquire prosperous re
ward that cannot be matched; II will
be then that our wonderful rsaources
THAT which makes Gold Center and
Rhyolite so lively and famed today
Twin emblazon the world with all their
| greatness and richness.
From thence II win be steads
and onward march to greater indus
