ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
NEVADA GOLDF|ELDS
Ida Man Declares the Ground
Has Only Just Been
Scratched.

W. Frank Byrne OF the Ida dis
trlct, some thirty miles south or Gold-
field, is q guest at the Cullen, just IN
to arrange a deal in mining matters
He is enthusiastic about the whole Ne
Nada field. and particularly on that
portion south of Goldneld and newly
taken up. He said.
THE whole Nevada field has as yet
Only been scratched over, and still the
finds are remarkably rich. In the
coming fall season thousands Of men

time back people have been slieptical
concerning the country but now
every sort of man knows 1t is rich

OF Volcanic Origin.
THE whole country Is OF volcanic
origin. and all through il are evidences
OF good ore bodies, One OF the pest

the whole country south OF Goidheld
Is In the official report OF Mining and
Consulting Engineer w. A. Stanton
formerly OF Salt Lake. and he says.
My experience In the whole Goldheld
mining district the Bullfrog and All
the districts south OF them, Is that
where you find strong porphyry crop
pings forming the walls OF veins that
carry good values. they have, in most
instances. developed into milling and
shipping ores The whole district Is
thoroughly described In this para
graph.
"The ,Montezuma, Silver Peak and
Ida countries are studded with just
such groupings, and great finds VIII
yet be made there. From the center
of all that country which is Goldheld,
radiating In all directions, the same
mountains and the same formations
obtain. especially at Ida and in tho
Palmetto district. Then, to the east
ward of Goldheld, some thirty miles
is Carter's Peak district, and. the
same conditions are there,
Low Grade Ore Camp.
THE opinion Of leading engineers Is
that the Bullfrog district will be the
leading low-grade ore camp in the
world. OF course, proper transporta-
ton facilities Will make this possible
''It looks like the days of old, and
the days OF gold. and the days of forty

on through the several camps. out into
the wilderness, looking for finds. 1t Is
quite warm there just now, but tho
nights are cool and we can always
sleep under a blanket. Supplies and
transportation are at moderate prices,
and when the ores can be landed mere
at cheaper rates there will be nothing
lacking 10 make II a perfect bonanza
'Of values, L might say that Hayes
G Monette on their lease Of the Mo-
hawk, have got ore assaying $500 to
the ton, and the Detch- Brewer lease
on the Daisy mine assays, in spots,
as high as 10000 to the ton, while
all of it is rich.
Needs Money to Develop.
at is q good place for men with
money to invest but not, just now,
for poor men who depend solely on
labor. With the advent of roads COM
ing up from Bullfrog through Ida,
Palmetto and Gold Mountain, rates on
ore will be much cheaper. and results
be better. Ida is peculiarly one OF
the coming districts. Men and money
are flowing in there. The road Will
mean much for that point
"All modern methods OF mining and
all known new appliances are in use,
nnd all that money and brains can do
district, You can readily see how all
this Will help Salt Lake, as we send
all ores here for treatment. and finance
