GOLDFIELD, New, June 1.-THE re-
cent expedition of Los Angeles business
men to Southern Nevada already is be-
ginning to bear fruit in turning busi-
ness interests to the California city.
The shipping between Goldfield and Los
Angeles is increasing steadily and the
prophecy Is made that within a year
Los Angeles will monopolize most OF
the Southern Nevada trade.
Los Angeles will undoubtedly be the
greatest city on the Pacific coast in a
few years." said l.. J. Koontz of the
Gold Bar company, land there is no
doubt that much of its development
Will come from Southern Nevada. The
trade in mining machinery is increasing
at an incredible rate and engines and
hoists are being shipped in from Los
Angeles daily.
"Los Angeles undoubtedly will be to
Southern Nevada, and Goldfield in par
tfcular, what San Francisco was to the
Comstock. And Goldf1eld will feed Los
angeles as the CofnstociS did San Fran
CISCO"
The closer relations of the two cities
are ascribed partly to the fact that Los
Angeles business men have recently
awakened to the possibilities of Nevada
and partly to the completion Of the
railway connections via Las Vegas with
the building Of the Brock road to Rhyo-
lite. The Southern Nevada camps are
the only Camps in the country strictly
classified as such, where 1t Is possible
to ride into them from the big terminal
points in Pullman cars. This is at
tracing scores of investors and travel
ers to the district and all the Southern
Nevada camps are proflting greatly.
More Los Angeles people are visiting
Goldfield than even in the boom times,
partly on account of the completion of
the new Casey hotel, which offers good
accommodations for the first time in
the history Of the camp. The hotel will
be formally opened June Is.
1t Is expected that strong stimulus
to the development of the state will
come from the recent organization of
the Industrial association Of Nevada,
which was organized last week in Gold
field on the foundations of the Mine
Owners and Business Mems association.
1t Is planned to spread the association
over the entire state and work already
has been begun in planting it in other
Nevada camps.
The new association is thought to
have been the means of preventing the
outbreak of labor troubles again In
Goldfield. as it Is known. that the /. w
and 1t was generally predicted until a
few days ago that labor troubles would
be renewed, before the end of the sum-
mer.
Output of Gold
Shipping in the Goldfield district is
increasing steadily, the mine output of
last week totaling $275,000 in value in
spite of extensive development work
being done in all the big mines. Four
millions a year will be added to the
output with the opening of the Sheets
Ish and Kalfus leases, on which work
began last week after the dissolution
of an injunction by which they were
shut down last fall. 1t is estimated that
the production from these two leases
will be $15,000,000 per day.
The injunction against the Sheets-Ish
company was granted by the federal
court last November on complaint of
the Mohawk, adjoining the Combina-
ton, on which the lease is situated, on
the plea of the former that the Sheets
Ish leases did not have the apex Of the
vein.
The new strikes in the Mohawk Jum-
bo and the Mohawk Florence are yield
ing bonanza ore which is being shipped
daily. The latter yesterday sent con-
signment of ore to the Nevada Gold
field Reduction company, some of which
will assay as high as $4,000 per ton.
