KING PHILLIPS ON
0OLDFlELD MINES

George II. Phillips. who created a
sensation seven or eight years g In
Chicago by cornering the corn crop OF
the country, Is in Goldfeld looking
after his interests. Mr.. Phillips Is one
of the principal owners of the Hazel
Goldfeld Mining company. which has
taken over the Francis King and the
two properties will be consolidated.
There is no ground for discourage
ment regarding the situation in Gold
field" said Mr.. Phillips. There Is just
as much gold in the hills as ever there
wasHthe ground has scarcely been
scratched and the future of the camp,
in my opinion, is absolutely assured.
Because Of the financial depression
throughout the country, people are not
at present investing so heavily in stocks
but the real mining investors. the men
who know the game n are watching
things closely, are just as much inter-
ested In Goldfeld as ever.
All that is necessary for Goldfeld Is
Just to keep it's record for production
that is what will tell in the long run
and there is no question of the outcome.
Goldield has hundreds of staunch
friends in Chicago and that city may
be depended upon to contribute its share
toward developing the resources OF the
camp"

Frank Peterson, a mining engineer
from New York, was registered at the
Hotel Casey for several days this week.
Mr.. Peterson left for Fairview Thursday
but will return to Goldfeld in a
few weeks.
1.-THE people of Nevada do not realize
it, said Mr.. Peterson, but the present
depression will be a good thing for legit-
innate mining in Nevada. Make up your
minds to the fact that the day for wild
eating is gone for good There is plenty
of money in New York and the east for
Investment in legitimate mining enter
prises but no money for properties that
will not bear investigation. l have been
over the camp since l have been here
and while l thought at first that Gold
field had overdone things in the way OF
building. I rave changed my mind and
firmly believe that these fine buildings
are fully justified by the future pros
poets of Goldfeld. All that l have seen
c~onvinces me that you have a firm
foundation in the mineral Of
the district"
Mr.. Peterson recently visited the
Ubehebe district which he believes has
the making of a great copper camp.

A party Of Chicago capitalists. all of
whom are interested in the Ro~gers-Gold-
field Syndicate lease and the Goldfield
Rosebud lease. arrived in this city
Thursday afternoon and will remain
here several days inspecting the prop
critics and looking over the camp. In
the party are E. j.. Reynolds. president
of the Goldfeld Rosebud Mining COM
pany; John Phillips, f. c. Avery and
Messrs. Mcbride and Church. They were
Joined here by c. H. Sieg. secretary of
the Goldfeld Syndicate, who arrived
from the East earlier in the week.
The entire party went through the
properties yesterday and were very
pleased with the progress of the
work and the showing made. They were
particularly interested in the Rogers
Syndicate lease, probably because the
ore has peer found in that block in pay
ing quantities and the anxious days of
speculation have been left in the rear.
The crosscut on the 400-foot level,
which is being driven. ahead with ma
chine drills, is now in about 40 feet
and the management expects to under
cut the ore body in about W weeks.
President Reynolds Of the Goldfeld
Rosebud expects to remain in Goldfeld
for some time as he is interested In a
number Of properties in various parts
of the state.

THE NEW CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

- HE ANNUAL election Of the 0ldhdd Chamber Of Commerce takes place
within the next 80 days. and the interest being manifested by the bust
nem men Of 0oldfdd, Is . evidence II their intention to reorganze that
institution, put It ON . business basis and make Il . force I'm the commun
ity. A canvass has bean made among the citizens Of 0oldheld who are doing
things-men of business standing and responsibility for available timber y MI
the vsrious omces Of the organization and It Is u suspicious omen that 30 many
have sgmded their willingness Il serve. 'provtded," there be . complete ror
ganiuMion and OF different bash.
The citizens Of Goldheld lost confidence In the old regime and withheld their
support and ahsented themselves from meetings. 80 that the Chamber of Com
msce became nothing more than a name. But now that . reorganization Is t.
put into the movement and everyone evidences Tot only . willingness tut an
organizauon Of som kind that will exercise . controlling and directing influence
in local affairs. Scores II matters that do not come within the pervue OF public
omcials are constantly bobbing up for solution; and these are questions that
should be taken hold Of vigorously in this early and formative period Of the COM
munty. Besides, we have nj doubt that the county commissioners would be glad
to have the cooperation of a representative body Of citizens sin the handling Of
town Affairs Without a city government much work and responsibility are
upon the commissioners which they would be glad to divide with a repre-
sentative body, acting in IN advisory capacity; Tor instance, in the matter Of
street paving, lighting schools, water, sanitation, public morals tic. In fact the
commissioner only recently invited the advice Of citizens upon the matter of
paving and named q day and hour to meet but only two or three citizens
attended the meeting. What raj everybody's business was nobody's business.
If there had been a vrus Chamber Of Commerce, IN appeal to that body would
have metz with prompt and intelligent response.
A Chamber Of Commerce among other things is needed or the purpose of
with the lamentable lack Of public spirit as manifested in Goldheld. There is
IN advertising way but to purely domestic questions affecting thu public welfare
little attention Is given. A Chamber of Commerce could do a gnt deli in over-
coming this apathy Or indifference and this should 70 n Of its thief missions.
It is to be hoped that or citizens generally will join the Chamber of Com
and help Il make a better town Of Godhed-beHer in which to live, bet
ter in which to do business
The mine owners have their organization, the nine workers have theirs
Now, let the business men and property owners If Godfed have theirs

The county commissioners ave asked
the Nevada-California Light and Power
company to quote a rate for thirty cleo
trio lights for Goldfield and the matter
Of awarding a contract for lighting the
streets will be taken up at the Novem-
Der meeting of the board There is
about $4,000 in the town fund. Out of
this sum. about $4,000 will be needed to
place the streets in good condition for
the winter and the expense of main
tanning the fire department and the fire
system must be provided but
there will be enough left to provide
street lights. The commissioners have
not determined on h location OF the
lights. That matter will also be
taken up at the November meeting.

Unconstitutional.

Judge Greeley Whitford, of the
district court, Denver, has declared
the law passed by the 10Th Cen
ersl ssembly, creating q board OF
railroad commissioners, to be un-
constitutional and void. This law
was demanded by the voters OF the
state without regard to party and
was carefully considered by the
Assembly before final passage.
Under such circumstances but
few judges of a district court ever
assume the authority of over ruling
the work OF the legislative power.
As rule the lower court will shift
such grave responsibility upon
the supreme court
Constitutions are being too often
resorted to to defeat the will of
the people aud there is a growing
demand for getting closer to the

made by popular vote; the veto
power should be taken from the

the General Assembly should
stand, until by referendum vote.
