SPARKS ~
IN GOLDFIELD

Governor John Sparks has been in
Goldheld all of the week looking after
his mining interests and sizing up the
situation generally. 1t is very likely
that the governor will invest in several
other mining properties in the Goidheld
district as a result of his Investigation.
Governor Sparks says Goldheld is all
right in every way and talks with en-
thusiasm over the prospects of the
camp. He is convinced that the pres
ent period of dizziness in the stock mar
no means reflects the actual conditions
existing here.
There is a great deal of Develop
ment work under way in the Goldfeld
district" said the governor. and both
the mine owners and leasers are show
ing a great deal of energy in opening
up their properties. The mines are in
good shape and I look for a large out
put of ore during the present year.
Taking everything into consideration !
think the citizens of Goldfeld should
be congratulated on the outlook for the
mines and business generally"
Speaking as an official and the head
of the state government. Governor
Sparks expressed deep interest in Gold
field and Goldfeid affairs generally. He
declared that he was ready at all times
to do everything in his power to pro-
mote the welfare of the city and would
be ready whenever called upon. to CO.
operate with the citizens and authori-
ties here to promote its interests.
IT am not here on official business"
said the governor. but IN private busi-
ness solely, but II either my services
or advice are needed the people of Gold
field are welcome to them. The removal
of the county seat to Goldfeld has i'm
posed certain duties on the people of
this community, as well as upon the
constituted authorities. which am
pleased to note.are being met with nota-
BILE spirit and energy. 1t will natur-
ally take some time TO ge. things rum
ming smoothly but I apprehend no seri-
Gus difficulty"

STRIKE
NEAR JOHNNIE

Johnnie, New, May 21.-About six
weeks ago a prospector named Charles
Garrett came into Johnnie and after
getting a square meal and a good
nights rest. started out in the hills
to see what he could ind. In two days
time he had uncovered as rich a vein
of ore as has ever been discovered in
Southern Nevada The quartz is shot
full of coarse gold and in places there
are nuggets of almost solid gold as
large as marbles. This rich find was
encountered within two feet of the
surface in a ledge about eight inches
wide and a shaft is now down ten feet
still in the rich ore but the vein has
widened to two feet.
This discovery was made about FIVE
miles south of the celebrated Johnnie
Consolidated mine, n and one-half
miles south of the town and one-half
owned by a crowd Of Tonopah mining
men. headed by Harry Ramsey. Jim
Butler and Frank Ish.
Yesterday Mr.. Garrett sold his

are s. H.. Barbee. formerly of Seattle
but who now has large interests in

Messrs. Wood and Stone, wealthy mir

extensive development work will be
done on the property.
A number of claims have been taken
up adjoining the strike by Robert At

thoroughly prospect their ground and
no doubt other rich finds will be re-
ported in the near future.

returned from Dutch Creek a few days
ago and speaks in high terms of the
new camp, which he says, is a conner.
Mr.. Koontz says there are some very
rich properties now being developed in
the Dutch Creek district n he thinks
they will be producers before long.
Speaking of the conditions in the
Goldfeld district, Mr.. Koontz says they
were never better and he can see no
reason for any apprehension on the
part of the public.
There is more work being done In
the mines of Goldfeld than ever be-
fore" he says" and now ore bodies are
being opened up every day. The Clark
road will soon be running into the
camp and that means a great deal for
the entire district. The road will run
directly through the Atlanta Gold Bal
and C. o. d. properties to the baseball
grounds, where the terminals will be
located. / am well satisfied with the
outlook and predict a big boom In
