Goldfield's big new hotel. the Nevada,
is expected to be completed by about
the LIST of February. Some delay has
been caused by the lack of lumber, but
supplies have been coming in a little
better during the past ten days. This
week the contractors started to raise
the third story. and with an adequate
supply of material little time should
be consumed in completing the upper
story and the roof.
The furnishings and equipment of the
hotel are to be of the most complete
and expensive order. The heating ap-
paratus alone will cost in the region of
s12, 600. The hotel lobby will be of
handsome proportions, n will mea-
sure 2Sx56 feet. 1t is to have a maple
floor and the lumber has been brought
all the way from Michigan at a big
cost.
The addition of the new Nevada"
Hotel to the city's hostelries will be a
welcome one. Goldheld has been hard
put for hotel quarters, and with the
great crowd of people who will undoubt-
fediy come in during 1907 is is well that
there should be ample accommodation
of the right kind provided.

Christmas tide was as much a season
or festivity and cheer in Goldfeld as in
any town in the country. The restau-
rants were filled to overlooking with
their guests and to guess the number of
Christmas dinners served would be an
impossibility.
The Elks of Goldfeld made it their
especial mission to see that all school
children were supplied with the seasons
good things and well they did their part.
Five hundred pounds of candy were dis
tributed, and bou half a dozen autos
were taken possession of and kept busy
for hours in giving the youngsters rides
to Columbia and ~Diawondfeld.
The evening at the Montezuma club
was another Ladies' Night and one of
great enjoyment to the large crowd of
members and their guests that gathered
there. The rooms were most attrac-
lively decorated with ropes of evergreen
and bunting. The festivities included
music. recitations and songs, all of
which were received with much APP
plause.

After our representatives completed
their examination of the various min
ing properties in various locations in
and about Goldfeld, we found what
appear to be a real gold mountain, and
it is evidenced by the fact that COM
panies now operating in that vicinity
have proven their properties to be real
wonders. 1t is generally believed by
mining experts that Gold Mountain and
vicinity will create n of the greatest
sensations on account of its phenomenal
production of gold within the near flu
ture, that has ever come before the
eyes of the American people. The Bon

The Pride of Gold
Mountain Mining
Company

consisting of ten full claims, described
by affidavit and map, made a part of
this communication, which we earnestly
request you to read with care, that you
may fully understand the excellent op-
p~ortunity offered herein for investment
in a mining stock where all risk is prac-
tically eliminated.
The object of The Pride of Gold
Mountain Mining Company is to sell
100000 shares of stock, the money to
be used for developing and equipping
the property with a modern quartz
mill. 1t is not necessary that this
plant have a large capacity; the ore is
amply rich and in such abundant
quantity that it can be reduced to
bullion at nominal expense, and once
the plant is installed it can be in
creased even after the first distribution
of dividends. The profits will be amply
large to increase the capacity and keep
up reasonably liberal dividends. We
do not hesitate or feel that we are TAX
ing any risk in stating that this is to be
a dividend proposition in the very near
future.
The offering of stock made herein is
not to be considered as one of the
ordinary propositions. The company is
Incorporated for 100000 shares, par
value 81, with 10000 900 shares in the
treasury, and the remaining $780, 900
shares is pooled and cannot be offered
on any market. 1t is true the pooled
stock win participate in the dividends,
and it is calculated that only a small
portion of the treasury stock will have
to be sold to fully develop and equip
the property. Of course treasury
stock unsold does not participate in
dividends, therefore the purchasers of
treasury stock can calculate on early
and large dividends, with the assur-
ance that the stock will double or treble
in value in go days, and that it will
ind ready sale on any market. In fact,
there are many mining stocks in this
vicinity selling around So per share
which are backed by properties that
have not yet discovered sufficient ore
values to warrant them in bringing any
such prices. True, the properties are
well located and it is believed they will
soon reach shipping ore; but it is differ
ent with the proposition we are calling
your attention to. The ore is now in
sight; in fact, it is ON the surface, and
known to increase in richness and GUAM
titv as depth is attained.
We are not offering you a PROPOSE
ton wherein it is necessary to state
that we believe the ore will be found.
The company and experts assure us
they have "the goods'' and will make
prompt delivery by early dividends to
those who assist them by purchasing
a small or large quantity of treasury
stock offered in this advertisement. We

VEINS: There are four distinct
veins running through the property and
they are visible everywhere; wash does
not cover them ON the side of the hill.
Reference is made to the map as to the

greater value and permanency by more
development. The size of the veins are
as follows: No. l about 2 feet, two

No. 2 is 8 to IA feet wide. On Claim

4 feet; the entire width of the vein was
IL feet at this point. No. 8 pans free

plenty of both near by.
