Writes of Conditions Prevailing
in the Wonderful Camp,
GoIdfield, Nevada.

In these days when wonderful and
many wild reports are coming out oil

ing TO receive information regarding
Conditions in the camp from some
body from home who is there such

| fore Is read with greater interest
than the general reports.
Z. l.. Green, of the Spencer Seed
less Apple company, who himself eX-
Dects to investigate that marvellous
Nevada Ell Dorado in a short time.
Yesterday received letter from w. H.
Royston, the civil engineer, who for
merly resided in Grand Junction, and
whose wife is spending the winter in
Grand Junction with relatives. Mr..
Royston has been in Goldfield for n
number of weeks and the statements
made by him in this letter VIII be
read with keen interest.
Mr.. Royston has in following his
profession as civil engineer visited
practically every mining camp of
large or small consequence in Colo
ado and nelghboring western states,
therefore he does not talk as a ten
derfoot" or one easily influenced by
the hurry. glamour and excitement
of a great mining camp.
That portion of the letter to Mr..
Green of interest to Royston's friends
and the public follows:
Mr. f. l.. Green.

tunity for stock investments is some

The Sentinel usually knows what
II is talking about. it is not always
making breaks that It must apologize
for later. and neither does it bungle
news items up every night. Be it
little or big. nearly every news item
that appears exclusively in this paper
is disgustingly attacked by the other
sheet. Last night much space was de-
voted to denouncing as false an item
regarding the return of Mr. and Mrs
]. NJ. Graham. The Sentinel was right
as usual. Mr.. and Mrs. j. NJ. Graham
returned last night and will again
take up their residence here. Quit
such little business, Old Envy.
