GOLDFIELD TO
HAVE ABUNDANT
ACCOMMODATIONS

The hotel accommodations now sadly
deficient in Goldfield will be supplied in
generous proportions before the middle
of the summer, from present indica-
tions. Two hotels are now in progress
of construction, to be as good and as
large as any hotel in any Nevada town
or city.
A third hotel, larger and more expen-
sive than the others. is promised by the
fortunate owners of the Hayes -Monnette
lease. Messrs Hayes, Monnette, Benedict
and Smith These gentlemen, out of
the generous returns received from their
mining operations in Goldfield have con-
cluded to erect 100000 brick hotel
building and it's construction will begin
as soon as the plans. which are now in
the hands of Reno architect, are COM
pleted This hotel syndicate has bought
the southeast corner of Columbia and
Crook streets, taking in the site of the
Hotel Goldfield recently burned. This
gives them frontage of IFS feet on
Columbia and 100 feet ON Crook. Mr..
Benedict says that the. syndicate will
spare no expense in erecting building
which in size, perfection of arrange
ment and fire proof details, will surpass
anything between Salt Lake and San
Francisco These gentlemen have the
means and they have the will, the two
requisites for the success of their plans.
