The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1907-10-05

Considerable attention is being at
tracted to the Goldreef and Klondyke
country, where there are a number of
Tonopah people interested. 1t is at
Klondyke that Jim Butler, associated
with Captain Frank Hunter. has his
new property. and both are very enthu-
siastic over the outlook. On the Tono-
pah side of the Klondyke mountain w.
J. Douglass, of the Midway and the Spid-
err and Wasp. and his associates. are
working the Original Klondyke. from
which they have already made one ship
ment, that averaged s97 a ton.
In the Goidreef country. which Is
about eight miles from here and on this
side of Klondyke. great preparations are
being made for immediate development
Like Klondyke. this section has long
lain idle for the want of 1ubricating
capital to awaken its development. Now.
capital in the East has been interested.
and II Is promised hat in the very near
future there will be no less than seven
companies at work there, with Tonopah
as their base of supply n direction.
This augurs well for Tonopah. for 1t is
helping to bring back the old camp to
its position of distributing center. as
It once was the center for all southern
Nevada.

The more development work of this
character that is going on, the better
for Tonopah. and there Is plenty of 1t
ahead, as soon as the financial situation
clears up. Notwithstanding the tight
ness of money in the East there seems
to be lots of capital that Is loose from
the clutches of Wall street. and that
is ready for investment in legitimate
mining properties. There are enough
men behind this capital with sufficient
sagacity to know that In these dull
times, there are better opportunities for
investment thar there ever was before.
These men are open to a good PROPOSE
ton. and there are not a few of them
taking advantages Of the opportunities
that lie in and around Tonopah.

There has been no noise like a boom
in the operations which rave been car
ried on, but the work has been done
quietly. While the work referred to In
Goldreef and Klondyke work has been
going along, there has been an equal
amount of development work going
ahead in the north. four, six. seven and
eight miles from here, all in the Tono-
pah district. The Liberty mine. owend
by the Cramps of Philadelphia, is being
developed into n Of the big
mines of the state, and nothing to speak
of, is heard from it. A shipment OF high
grade has already gone out, and a mill
has been put up on the property. II
is a milling proposition. destined to
be one of T~onopah's greatest.
oAHDEH CITY MIME
The Garden City mine, six miles to
the north, is in high grade ore. and 1t
is claimed for 1t that 1t Is going to be
a shipping proposition. The property
is owned by San Jose people, and is
being developed by private capital. Half
a mile this side of the Garden City is
the property Of the Hercules Mining
company, which is being developed by
Boake, Wagner and Brooks of this city.
There has been little more than pros
pecting work done on this. and at a
depth Of seven feet assays have been
returned as high as $132 a ton. The
values are found in gold, silver and cop
per. The owners W contracted to
sink one hundred feet. and will probably
crosscut before that depth is reached.
These are a few of the developments
that are going on in the immediate VIC
Unity of Tonopah, and when the time
is ripe there is going to be more work
right in the camp. The Golden Anchor
is likely to resume work at any time.
and there are several other properties
which will follow in the wake of the
California Tonopah.. The outlook for
Tonopah is very good from any stand
point, and the camp bids fair to be great
err for production and for good solid BUSH
ness han it ever was in its palmiest
days.
