The GOldfield men certainly got there
first, and have property OF the first

as the Cyclone group. and was sfake6
out by miner named Norton who
had an attorney named Wilson Of Reno
as { partner. These men are reputed
TO have cleaned up S1SO,0OO already from
claims they have sold. and they retain
a large acreage to this day. The Cy-
