Manhattan is experiencing its first
boom and considering the fact tnat
the camp is less than a year old IL Is
about as vigorous a proposition as there
Is in Southern Nevada. During the

men was attracted to Manhattan oy
the announcement of q number or
mar;torious surface finds and with
further development the value or the
mineral deposits has been furtner
demonstrated by that eompetest OF
tests, sampler returns
Prank Benson, q Tonopah and Bull
frog prospector, who has interests at
Manhattan. was in Goldfeld this week
and in speaking on the mineral and
General business outlook there to a re-
9orter for The News stated that he be-
I;sved II was destined to be one OF the
b;g camps of the state. He says tnat
nrosneetors. business men and capitai-
;sts are iocking in and that the town IS
booming. Tents spring up in a night
and hoard business establishments and
boarding houses are being constructed
"a rapidly as carpenters can accomplish
no work and materials can be secured.
Five new business enterprises were
launched there early this week among
which is a weekly newspaper. ne re-
ports that a number Of properties are
preparing to ship and is particuiarIy
optimistic in relation to the Claims
owned by s. E. Vermilyea and marry
Hudson. Some of the rock runs wen
into the thousands of dollars In goio
to the ton, according to Mr.. benson'
who also says that conditions are sim-
liar on a number of other hoidings.
The vermilyea-H Hudson shipment that
went out under shotgun guard ABOUT
three weeks ago is to be followed py
another within the next ten days.
Cole, Douglas and Sinclair are pre-
pairing a shipment from their lease on
block No. 8, on Union Nc. 9 ground
which is expected to return values Dut
little lower than the one from the Hud-
son property. Some OF the ore Is
phenomenally rich and as indicative OF
its worth Mr.. Benson states that gold
values at So were received a few days
before he left from about 3 ounces VI
the rock. On No. 2 lease on the same
property Wilcox and McGarry have D
feet of $50 ore at a depth of 40 feet,
the values having all obtained below
the 25-foot point. Hudson, Dron and
associates leasing on NO. D navy
opened up a fine body of shipping
grade and intend to send out a con.
SHIPMENT next Monday. Ford and
Williams are also reported to have a
good showing on their lease on NO. 0.
} Lease No. 4 on the Stray Dog claim,
, the property of vermilyea and Hudson
! and the one from which the recent rich
| shipment vent out, is being operated
by Brown and Dron. They have opened
up a generous body of shipping grade
rock and are now developing it. Ben
son and Chalmers are operating a group
of FIVE claims about a mile south OF the
Stray Dog and at a depth of "a feet
have Az feet of mill grade showing.
They will continue sinking until a

GETTING READY TO BUILD

A representative of the church extern
sion fund of the Presbyterian church is
expected in Goldfeld next week to con-
fer with the Presbyterians of this city
with a view to giving some assistance
in the building OF a church here. APP
proximately $4,000 has been subscribed
to put up the building and it is ex
pected that another $1,000 will be re-
ceived from the church extension fund.
The edifce will cost upwards of $4,000,
which will leave a balance, after the
$1,000 is received from the extension
fund, of from $500 to $1,000, which
those active in the movement anticipate
they will have no trouble in securing.
While no decision has been reached
regarding the location of the building,
a lot at the corner of Ramsey and
Euclid has been generally talked of as
a probable site. The subscription list
for the new church was started one
month age and headed with three $500
subscriptions from prominent local
Presbyterians. The balance of the list
is made up of smaller subscriptions.

BURIED I'M porrER,s r1E1p

The body of Thomas Record, the
miner who was found dead a few miles
from town last week, with his throat
cut from ear to ear was buried in the
potter's field here on Tuesday. An eff
fort was made to locate the mother of
the dead man who is supposed to reside
at Chase Mills, Maine, but it was un-
successful. The second coroner's jury
which investigated Records death
brought in a verdict finding that he
died from the effects of having his
throat cut from ear to ear, whether by
himself with suicidal intent, or by
parties unknown, the jury was unable
to determine.

COMMENTS ON ANNUAL EDITION
Mining Men, Brokers and Business Men Generally
Praise the Issue

Albert s. Watson: The Goldfeld
News has rendered excellent service to
not only the properties in the camp, but
the investing public as well, in the
matter of giving reliable mining news.
The annual edition as a production Of
a mining camp has reflected credit not
only upon the publishers and the camp,
but will prove a very interesting docu-
ment to the eastern investors.
Austustus Tilden: The Goldfeld
News Annual edition is the clearest
publication of it's kind ever gotten out
about the camp. 1t sets forth in a con-
else manner things which the eastern
investor is interested in. The book in
it's entirety shows the utmost care in its
preparation. / am sending it to my
friends.
E. C. Watson: Goldfeld should be
proud of The News Annual edition.
The pictures, descriptive matter and
general tone of the publication is such
that it will at once command the at
tention of all those who receive it. l
think it is fine, and believe that every
one in the camp is sending it to their
friends.
A. X. Wheeler: Of the many special
editions that have been gotten out
here and elsewhere about the camp, The
News Annual stands far out in adj
vance of all of them. 1t contains the
facts and the truth about this camp
which are the most important things
we can emphasize at this time.
j. P. Lotus: In every way the book
portrays the salient features of the
camp, and is an interesting as well as
valuable document for persons who
contemplate making investments here.
From a typographical and pictorial
point of view it could scarcely be i'm
proved upon.
C. B. Stanley: The book should
prove a great benefit to the camp, in
the way of telling prospective investors
of the true and exact conditions exist
ing here. 1t is a fine thing and reflects
credit on both the camp and its pub
Usher.
E. j. Chute: You can sun up the
contents of the annual by saying that
everything in it counts 1t is just the
kind of a publication needed to prop
erly, and truthfully, tell the eastern
investor what we have here in Gold
field.
Volney B. Leonard: 1t is the most
creditable issue of its kind ever put
out from a mining camp. The brokers
are sending it to their clients in the
east.
w. A. Stevens: The News annual
was a very creditable issue and will un-
doutedly prove of great benefit to the
camp. l liked it exceedingly well.
t. G. Lockhart: i think so well of
it that l am sending it to all of my
eastern friends so they may have re-
liable information about the camp.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-01-05

John Donnellan: There is no ques-
ton in my mind that the annual eli
ton of the Goldfeld News will be Of
very great benefit to the camp, particn-
larly at this time when eastern m
vestors are looking in this direction for
attractive investments. The shaky
conditions of the eastern industrials
caused by the continued recent dis
closures of graft have given all west
ern investments a new lease of life and
have made them look more than ever
attractive to the monied men of the
east. The annual edition of The News
shows a year of substantial progress IN
this camp, and it points to another an
nual period more prolific with good
things than the one through which we
have just passed. / look to see the
publication productive of much good.
H. T. Bragdon: / was very much
pleased with everything contained N
the annual. The subject matter was
good and from an artistic point of view
the publication was of such a char
acter that every one having interest
here can take pleasure in sending 1T 20
their friends and associates. 1t should
do the camp much good.
G. s. Clack: 1t is a great boost for
TIM camp. Particularly is this true by
reason of the fact that it only tells
truths and its pages contain only mod
crate statements. In no respect does i
exaggerate in it's tale of Goldield' s
growth and the wealth of the mines of
this district.
+. E. Browne: 1t was a work of art
and covered the field more generally
than anything | have seen published
about Goldfeld. In brief l regard i
as the most representative publication
of its kind that has been put out since
the camp was established.
F. R. Jeffrey: l believe The News
Annual was as Huc q puDiiCdtioh VI its
kind as / have ever seen. 1t is well
gotten up in every particular and | be-
lieve it will do the camp a great deal
of good.
T. 8. Woodwork: 1t was the most
vivid newspaper expression ever given
the district. 1t just filed the bill and
should prove of great benefit to every
interest in and about Goldfeld.
Walter Stone: The News Annual
was unquestionably a very meritorious
publication for a camp as young AS
this. I liked it and sent il to my
friends.
E. R. Ar~gersinger: l was very
much pleased with every thing in the
book, and l believe that every one in
the camp took a great deal of interest
in it.
w. T. Virgin: The News Annual is
one of the finest things of it's kind l
have over seen.
R. w. Norrington: The edition is a
handsome publication and is a great
credit to the camp and district.
