Drawing Good Men
to u.

O. p. Judd. formerly located in Omaha as
manager Of the Remington typewriter bust
ness for Nebraska and Iowa, has changed
his vocation because of the opportunities
for quick fortunes now presented in south
ern Nevada s mines.' Word has recently
been received that Kirby Eainb & Stone
ham, one of the most widely and favorably
known firms of Investment brokers and
mining engineers in Nevada, has engaged
Mr.. Judd as manager of their Goldhcld Of

is one OF the most eminent engineers and
mine managers OF America having man
aged some Of the largest western mines, in
Guiding the famous DAILY West Of Park
City, Utah, and the Montana Tonopah of
Tonopah.
In a'letter to an Omaha friend Mr.. Judd
tells of present conditions in Goldheld and
his description of actual facts reads like
the most amazing fiction Three years ago
Goldfeld was an uninhabited part of the
dreary wastes of an almost inaccessible
desert stretching hundreds OF miles in
every direction. The marvellous richness
Of the early discoveries of Goldfield served
TO draw people there from all parts of the
! globe until 1t now is modern city Of over
| 1900 inhabitants, In the heart OF the rich
est gold mines in the world, and every train
adds hundreds Of fortune seekers to its
rapidly growing population.
| GOldheld has eclipsed all the worlds rec
ords for high-grade ore. Several leases are
taking out quantities of ore which run $40
a pound or $4,000 ton. Two carloads OF
this grade Of ore will soon be shipped out
| by express and will be valued at 81 600 900
| a cm. Tho opening up OF the great Mo
| hawk ledge in the early summer has been
! followed by a series of strikes continually
! growing richer, until the properties
| traverscd by this wonderful ledge have
increased in value by leaps and bounds.
For the last thirty days Golddeld has been
In a whirlwind of excited speculation and
! scores OF fortunes have been made by tho
| lucky stockholders of these companies, The
stock valuations have increased at tho rate
Of 100000 day, which is unheard Of else
! where.
Mr. Judd's first operations in Goiddeld
will be in the center OF its Greatest activity.
/ as the firm he represent fiscal agent
for the Goldheld Cons = Gold Mining
| company, owning some adingly valu.
able ground on the trend OF Tho great Mo.
hawk ledge. It is the opinion Of Mr.. Judd
| that this winter will see a greater boon1
in Goldheld than any yet experienced. He
considers himself fortunate in having en-.
| tered the Held at such an opportune time
and especially in the service Of one OF the
best-rated firms Of the mining world.
He says that less than "a year ago 100
shares OF Mohawk were given as part nav.
! ment In the purchase Of an Indian pony
! The SO cash in the transaction was ne.
garded as of far more value than the stock
which was put away in an old can and for
| gotten. Recently the former owners of ia,
pony hearing Of the great rise I'm Mohawl
stock thought the name sounded familiar
TO them. and on investigating found thu
they were the owners OF 700 shares o
| Mohawk stock, then being sold at over si
per share. They sold their stock subse
quently for si1sOOO.
He also speaks OF the success OF NJ. J
Monnette, also from Omaha. who, Will,
he was here last spring, unnecessarily i'm
portuning HIS friends for the loan OF 81, 0JO
received message from his associates no
flying him Of the great strike In the now
famed fIayes-Monnette lease on the Mo
hawk, Of which this former Omahan Is
principal and which has enabled Mr., Mon
nette 20 qualify as a millionaire.
Mr. Judd thinks the GOldneld Consolidate
Gold Mining company which Is beinl
foatsd by the nrm with which he is con
nected, will enjoy the extraordinary goo,
fortune OF the Mohawk. lying only a shor
distance away on tire same ledge.
