BIG EASTERN MONEY is NOW
AFTER MINING INVESTMENTS

There is the utmost confidence in the
mining and stock situation among the
brokers of Southern Nevada.
Everything in the condition
of the mines in Southern Nevad and
the temper of the investing public con-
tribut in a general measure to the
situation, which is at this time most
promising in it's outlook" said M. B.
O'Farrell, manager of the promotion
firm of Patrick, Elliott & Camp, of this
city, to a representative of The News.
Eastern investors of the better class
nave been attracted by the tremendous
profits which have been made by people
who have placed their investing capital
in Southern Nevada securities. AT no
time in the history of western mining
operations has the capital been avail
able for the development of the mining
industry that is now seeking employ
ment in this state. Industrial and rail-
road securities have been given the "go-
by" by many people, who heretofore
placed no confidence in mining secur-
tiles. The country is full of many seek
ing good investments, and the success

AFTER THE CALAMITY

The San Francisco banks opened N the Esd instant and the San Francisco
mining stock exchange will follow o Monday next.
News stating the exact time o. thu reopening OF the banks and exchange
was received in aodhed early in the week, and it creatdt the gratest bouyancy
everywhere.
AS msto of the business of Nevada, both mining and commercial, is ceared
through San Francisco, the closing of the banks ant of the exchange, necessarily
had a paralyzing effect upon general business Of the state. 1t was estimated that
at least two millions of dollars of Nevada money was tied up in the Frisco
banks, acting as repositories for banking institutions, mining corporations and
brokerage firms. The release Of all this money the clearing If the blocked char
nelso of commerce and thu resumption of business had instante effect IN the state.
n especially upon the southernm mining camps, which, were under a big head of
steam when the crash at Frisco came, and today a boom is n that will carry
Godfed, at least, clear over the dull months OF summer.
The relaxed conditions had more immediate ant noticeable effect upon the
Gddfdd stock market than elsewhere. The day the news vas received business
started off with a whirl and the entire week has been a record breaker, both as to
prices AMI volume of business. Those who predicted disaster in the reopemng of
the local exchange before Frisco, were agreeaby disappointed in TIT outcome,
fra better week has w been witnessed in the l@lm mining market, showing
that tn local brokers int Investors. ire fully able and willing to tax care OF the
market.
1t should be noted as indicating the strength and stability of Nevadas
banking ard brokerage institutions that throughout these most trying times
when all were tied hand and foot and business generally vas parayzed, that not
a single failure was recorded, and that when business resumed, not even the an
hcipated ami ms matenahzed.
In preparation for possible IN, upon their opening, the Godfed as well
as other banks OF he estate made ample preparation, by calling Dol their east
en reserves, tn banks of Goldfeld alone importing $780, 900 in gold so that to-
day there is more actual gold an currency in the bnk vaults OF Goldfed than
we before in the history of the camp
Signs of a boom in Godfeld are in evidence n every hand. It is the n
camp n the state that is entering the summer season with confidence and buoy
ancy, and that will keep in the eye Oft the country from this time OF.

so, Goldfeld could prove its prominence
as a great camp by pointing to the sIzo

that can be offered in respect to III
greatness of this camp, lies in the fao,
that the values on half a dozen Iaasoa

A typical example of Goldfeld's devej-
opment is found in the strike on the
Hayes-Monnette lease oil the Mohawk
A Tonopah company first expended
$4,000 OF this lease. They found plenty
of low grade ore, worth from 81 to &c
a ton. They gave up the lease and the
Mohawk company took hold of it. The
company, too. gave it up after develop-
ment showed 80 feet in depth with two
drifts 16s and so feet. respectively, and
also a crosscut of 60 feet.
Then Hayes and Monnette took hold
of it.. They found values and seams and
plenty of rock. at 81 per ton. They
sunk to the 225-foot level, vertical, and
left 10 feet for a stump. They drifted
$50 feet east and north and got small
values all the way dow in silicious Dor
phyry with pyrites, and some times
streaks of $40 rock. After run
ming southwest from this level, 60 feet.
and finding nothing, they put in a 30
foot raise and stopped their lower
workings. By that time they had ex-
pended in the neighborhood of 5000.
Then they came up to the 150-foot level,
crosscut o 20 feet away from the
shaft and drifted across the face of this.
Here they found their ore body giving
values at both ends of the drift, running
from $50 to $40 per ton. After proving
the strike, they went down again to the
215-foot level and east to meet their
ore body. Here they put in another
raise and met their ore. The leasing
company is now working 20 men, is
sinking a new shaft to facilitate and
double the output, about $50 feet east of
the old shaft, is sinking a Wine on the
150-foot level, and is shipping 100
tons of ore daily to the Columbia mill.
Those who are innocent of Goldfeld
conditions will observe from this that
~lessees make money when they know
their business and when they have
money to back their opinions.
There is today a sight in this camp
hard to duplicate; that of a dozen leases
working within a radius of one thousand
feet equipped with gasoline and steam
hoists, and all in ore carrying good
values. 1 would venture to prophecy
that in not less than five years there
will be 100 producing mines in what is
now Goldfield, and that long before five
years have elapsed, the horseshoe theory
will have been proven nonsense.

ing camps The entire United States

no man can say what the future will
bring to this section of the state. 1t is
certain that Nevada will soon resume
its former position in the first rank of

would probably seem an immoderate
statement to say that Nevada will

In no other one of the great camps
has there been such conflict of expert
opinion as in Goldheld. While yet In
its ~swaddIing clothes, three years ago.
It was passed up as worthless by a min
ing engineer of world wide reputation.
1t has been denounced as q surface
camp" and a pocket camp 1T has been
exalted as a bonanza" The judgment OF
experience today disposes Of 1t as the
greatest gold camp in the world.
Goldheld is a camp of big lodges. big
values. and unknown depth. The deep
est workings do not exceed ZOO feet. But
values are proven not to diminish with
depth. 1t is a camp, too. that has well
rewarded scientific development. Wher-
ever the proper work has been done by
trenching, sinking, prosecuting and
drifting, ore shoots have been exposed;
and this is true not only of one or two
mines but a dozen. Where, on the other
hand. the ore shoots have touched the
surface, luck has triumphed, and the
lessees of those tracts nave taken out
fortunes in a month. Take the Great
Bend near D~iamondfield. as an example
of good work. The original owners or
this property scanned and.lined the face
of the hills with trenches, and spent two
years in the labor, without results. Ex-
pert prospectors and miners, profting
by the work already done, went onto
the ground and almost Immediately
found the ore. Such work as this calls
for more tina money, grit and persever-
ance; it calls for knowledge; for sound
opinions upon the mining conditions of
the district.
The opinion is offered today by the
majority of those who are well in
formed on Goldfeld, that the values lie
in a gigantic horseshoe, switching north
and east to embrace D~iamondfield,
thence south and west again to Gold
field. 1 cannot find any warrant in the
formation of the mineral belt response
BILE for the mines. for any such theory.
1t is more easonabl to believe with
Mr.. F. K. Mcnamara, a mining engineer
and one of the best posted men l have
met in Goldfeld, hat there is a vast
continuous mineralized zone, having a
width of approximately five miles in
places, striking more or less north and
south with an occasional bend to east
or west in it's line of strike.
1t happened that geological conditions
force this belt to show its wealth at or
near the surface in places, and it also
happened that at Goldfeld, where the
values showed at the grass roots. the
zone was also in one of it's swells of
greatest width. The course of this zone
would, therefore, be lense-like, 1. e., some
times of great width as at Goldfeld,
some times narrow; and it would also
be true that, like the course of a whale
in the ocean, it would some times rise to
the surface, as at Goldfeld,. and again
dip to unknown depths. 1t partakes there
fore, of a continuous dyke, plentifully
fractured-a dyke whose integral por-
ton was presumably dacite, or quartz
porphyry, mineralized by iron pyrites

pally by the older andesite.
