judgment, has served to win him the
confidence, esteem and partnership of
not only Mr.. Schwab. but dozens of
other capitalists of the east who have
unbounded faith in his integrity aud
decision and are eager and anxious
at all times to follow in his wake,
whether it be in the far-off, sun-blis-
tered hills of Furnace creek and Death
valley to the south, or on the snow
capped mountains of northern Silver
peak. Success has crowned his efforts
to an unbounded extent because of the
fact that he first invests his own dol
lars, and having satisfied himself he
then offers to his associates and friends
the opportunity of coming in with him
on an equal footing, and it is by these
broad-minded principles and generous
nature that he today commands un-
limited capital and heads gigantic en-
terprises throughout not only Nevada
and California, but in Mexico, where
Donald B. Gillies, conceded to be one

MEN OF MARK
IN GOLDF|ELD
WHAT MINING DEVELOPMENT
HAS DONE FOR NEVADA
Prominence of Aston, ChiIson G. Co
in Mining Circles-OWn and
Manage Many Valuable
Properties

The richness of Goldfelds wonderful
ore bodies has resulted in the discovery
and development of many other camps
in southern Nevada, and has brought
to this district a group of mining,
business and professional men whose
years of experience in various mining
camps in the country or competitive
business pursuits has given Goldield
colony of bright minds, backed by
youth, health, integrity and deter
mination to succeed. All the world
knows the result, for the fame Of
Nevada, especially Goldfeld, has
spread the world over.
Among this number M. B. Aston,
president, and w. c. Chilson, secre-
tary, Of the firm Of Aston, Chilson &
Co, of ia Ramsey street, Goldfeld,
have gained much prominence in min
ing circles, and have done much toward
the development of the various Nevada
camps.
Typical GoIdfieId Men
NJ. B. Aston is a man of the typical
Goldfield type-young, aggressive, well
educated, with very active but pre-
else mind, a business training such as
can be attained only by the rough
knocks of the competitive world, and,
above ALL character and integrity un-
questioned. Originally from the south,
Mr.. Aston was some ten years ago led
by the wider opportunities offered in
the west to make his home in Colorado,
where he was successively engaged in
commercial pursuits, editor and pro-
prietor of a western magazine, and an
all around business man, with head
quarters in Denver. Equipped as he
was with thorough college and uni
VerSity courses, knowledge of law,
together with natural business ability,
it is needless to say of each he made
a marked success. Mr.. Aston entered
the Nevada camps about three years
ago in the interest of his magazine,
but with his knowledge of men and
conditions he was not slow in grasping
the unparalleled opportunities here Of
fered to men ready to work, and, char
acteristic of him, he Immediately
launched out in the mining world, and
the word success stands in bold relief
in his wake.
DR. Chilson Is another of Goldheld's
.ISpiSsNiit'.N -St4' StAN'' eihllle.h W MI
Aston's advent into the state, he came
to Goldheld to practice medicine, but,
early recognizing the broader field of
opportunity In the immense mineral
wealth, remained to search for the
elusive yellow metal. DIR. Chilson was
born in the middle west, educated in
the schools and colleges Of the Golden
state, with a medical course in the
University of California. Young, capa-
BILE and aggressive, he had been a medico
but a short time when he was placed
in charge Of the medical staff, and. in
addition, a little later, was given the
management Of st. Luke's hospital, at
San Francisco, In this responsible and
eXacting capacity he remained for a
number OF years. In San Francisco's s
frightful disaster of last April he was
one of the thousands who lost their

TOP GOLD PROPERTY

ledge being highly mineralized and as
saying $40 per ton. Considerable free
gold is also found in the shaft. The
ledge so far exposed is six feet wide.
but it had not yet cut through. Mr..
Pattison, in charge of the work, Is con-
fident of soon making a shipping propo-
sition. On an adjoining property $50 ore
has been taken from near the surface,
evidently on the same vein. The yell
low Top stock is now listed on the ex-
changes of San Francisco and Goldf1eld
and will be listed in Chicago and New
York. --latest quotation on San Fran
cisco exchange is 1919 to Is cents per
share. This Is considered one of the
coming properties in Goldfield.

MINING WIZARD OF NEVADA

A FTER an absence of nearly three
~ months in New York and other
eastern cities, where he has been
comforting with his partners and asso-
ciates, Malcolm l.. Macdonald, head
of what is commonly known as the
Charles M. Schwab Mining syndicate,
has returned to Tonopah with list of
other enterprises and undertakings
more stupendous and gigantic in their
extent and object than all of the big
mining affairs heretofore handled by
that great combination of mining men,
Mr.. Macdonald, mining engineer
captain of industry, enthusiast on Ne
vada, promoter and financier, has
given to the public slight knowledge
of the plans and undertakings set afoot
while he was in the east in conference
with Mr.. Schwab, which make the
most energetic and extensive promoters
and mine operators in Nevada sit up
and rub their eyes.
Gigantic Enterprises Planned
The plans for future enterprises of
the Schwab- Macdonald combination
include $15,0OO,0O0 mining organiza-
IlOH, Illo ueUeillS Ol WHICH are WlIn-
held at this time, the Nevada National
bank to be established in Tonopah in
five-story stone structure of it's own,
of which Mr.. Macdonald is president,
the completion and branching out of
the MontgomeryShos Consolidat-
ed Mines company holdings and plant
in the Bullfrog district, the rushing to
completion of the Greenwater Death
valley million dollar smelter at Green
water, the rapid development and OPEN
ing UP of the fabulously rich holdings
of the concern in the Rosebud district
and the further acquisition of extern
sive mining interests in Mexico.
To a man of rather limited knowl-
edge of the mining industry and the
lack of proper ideas regarding the
value and extent of such undertakings
1t is indeed hard to realize and under
stand fully the meaning of the plans
perfected in three short months by Mr..
Macdonald while east and which
mean the outlay of millions of dollars
and the opening up and development of
additional mineral lands in the sage
brush state.
An Excellent Executive
The volume of business handled by
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-17

all, and, like many another, financially
broke, but with spirit and determina-
ton undaunted, he entered the Nevada
camps. His success has been very fiat
tering to himself and gratifying to his
friends.
Owns Valuable Property
The firm, Aston, Chilson &c Co., owns
properties throughout the southern
part of the state, and owns a CON-
trolling interest in the Diamondfield-
Bullfrog Mining company of Rhyolite,
and the Storm Cloud Mining company
of Ida, in addition to other well-known
and valuable properties in other camps.
The property owned by the Diamond
field-Bullfrog Mining company con-
sists of five full claims, 100 acres, in
what is known to be the most richly
mineralized section of that district, and
practically adjacent to Schwab's fam
GUS Montgomery -Shoshone mine. This
company is splendidly officered, with
Senator T. l.. Oddie as president, and
Mr. Aston as secretary, who has sue
cessfully managed and financed the en-
terpriSe, which has to date upward of
five hundred feet of workings in tun-
nels, drifts and shafts, and with very
satisfactory assays.
Perhaps the faVorite of all the hold
ings of Aston, Chilson e. Co. is the
Storm Cloud mine at Ida. This prop
erty is in an old and proven district
and is surrounded by such well-known
properties as the Ida Belle, Old Cen
tennial, High-for-Luck and other fam
GUS old producers, whose ore was
hauled before the days of the rail-
roads some 200 miles to Candelaria and
thence shipped by railroad to the coast.
Governor John Sparks, recently re-
elected for second term of four years
as governor Of the state of Nevada,
is president of the Storm Cloud Mining
company; DR.. w. c. Chilson, secretary.
One test shipment made from this
property gave mill returns of $141S4
per ton, with many tons now in sacks
and on the dump which careful sam
pling shows to be even richer.

Backbone Mines Bonded

Redding, Cal.-The Big Backbone
and Elsie groups of mines in the Back
bone mining district have been bonded
to o. p. Posey of Goldfeld for $4,000.
The property belongs to G. s. Graves,
w. II. Kent and Joseph Kahny, and is
a promising group as far as develop
ment has gone. Mr.. Posey is from
Goldfield and he has any amount of
capital to back him in the development
work. The property is situated in the
vicinity of the Mammoth mine and has
a very bright outlook. Walter e. Her
Finger brought the deal to close in

Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-17
Macoln L. Macdonald, Expert
Engineer and Captain of In
dustry, Active in the
Great Sage-Brush
State

Mr.. Macdonald and his assistants is
growing so rapidly and covering such
a wide area that all of Nevada con-
cedes him to be the foremost of the
leading promoters and mine makers Of
whom history is to some day write an
interesting book.
Homeward bound after his long so
journ in the east Mr.. Macdonald took
the time to stop at the new camp Of
and make a thorough inspection of the
Nevada Rosebud company holdings
there 1t had been acquired during his
absence on behalf of himself and Mr.
Schwab by Lewis A. Parkhurst, the
partner and lifelong associate of Mr..
Macdonald, and whose judgment alone
sufficed for the taking over of this
property and the immediate payment
of $350,000 in cash. aside from goodly
portion OF the stock in the company.
In speaking of the Brown Palace
group, owned by the Nevada Rosebud
company and on which such eXtraor-
binary values have been obtained, Mr..
Macdonald, when asked what he
thought of the property. smiled and in
his affable manner said: "Well, Mr..
Parkhurst passed judgment on the
property and called for the payment
Of good many dollars. That was suf-
ficient information for me respecting
the merits of the claims and the prob
able value of the mineral resources on
them even though I personally had not
inspected the estate of the Nevada
Rosebud company"
A Man of Action
For the proper handling and man
agement of the Montgomery-Shosh
Consolidated Mines company the Me-
vada Smelter and Mines company, the
Manhattan and Rosebud interests.
owned by the Schwab Macdonald com
bination and their various other en-
terprises, Mr.. Macdonald purchased
while east five Simplex automobiles,
none of which cost less than $65O0,
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-17

for use in travelling across country in
Nevada. 1t was by the automobile
that distance has been annihilated,
that capitalists have been induced TO
traverse the desert wastes of uninvit-
ing Death valley and were given an
opportunity to see for themselves the
extent and value of the mineral zone
of the new treasure state, and it was
through the untiring efforts of Mr.
Masdonald in the early stages OF
southern NeVada'S development that
these automobile lines were equipped
and maintained. Notwithstanding the
heavy expenses involved and the
losses sustained the companies have
been kept in existence up to the pres
ent day because this observing enthu-
siast on Nevada's resources realized
that the capitalists must be given
proper conditions and handled. with
some care, else the hardships of the
country in the primitive stages would
act as a handicap to the enterprises
afoot. The telephone and telegraph
lines from the busy camp of Manhat-
tan on the north, through Tonopah and
Goldfield to the southern Bullfrog dis
trict. were also of his achievement,
and are still operated under the COM
pany of which he is the president.
Being broad-minded and capable of
dozens of undertakings at one time the
promotion and financing of large af-
fairs seems to be Mr.. Macdonald's s
forte. From the early days when he
served as consulting engineer for the
Montana-Tonopah mine and opened up
its big ore body to the present day
when he, as millionaire mine owner
and operator acts as head of one of
the largest mining syndicates in the
world, his one aim and object has
been along the same line and with the
same goal in view-that of the devel-
opment of Nevada's resources. Hav-
ing been born at Mound House and
therefore a native son of the truly
great Nevada Mr.. Macdonald perhaps
had more faith and therefore put more
energy in his work of development
than any other of the conspicuous
figures who have made fame and for
tune within the past few years by
their daring and enterprise.
A Strong Eastern Following
Not alone in Nevada is Mr.. Mac
donald accorded credit and honor be-
cause of his uneOualed Success and
