that a some of the claims OF the
Central Tonopah and Goldfeld company
thereon. wildcat or outlying claims
unsurveyed do not appear on the official
of Goldheld. Therefore many pro-
houses with claims not on Official
maps. have a special plate made. and
usually making the claims appear larger
or In better position than they really
are. For instance. on the map sent, the
Goldheld Somerset claim seems to have
large acreage. whereas 1t is only a
fraction OF a claim and appears on the
Official map as the Somerset Frac-
ton The Evening Star No. l and
the Evening Star No. 2. which appear

and the same may be said Of the big
black blotch on the wisner map. west
of the town of Goldheld and of which
ground the Goldfeld Somerset claims
to own a one-uuarter interest. The only
property of the Goldheld Somerset in
the Goldfield district that is worth a
whoop is the Somel set Fraction. and
that consists of only a few acres. Now.
as to the properties of the Central Tono-
pah and Goldield company, which were
merged with. or absorbed by the Gold
field Somerset. We traced up the Tono-
pah properties Of the Central Tonopah
and Goldield companies, last week. They
are on Butler Mountain which has never
produced a pound of ore and which is
now regarded as wildcat territory. They
are worthless, but figure in the "enor-
nous acreage Of the consolidated COM
pany. The properties Of the Central
ronopah and Goldfeld company in the
Goldfeld district are no much better.
In fact there is grave doubt whether the
Central Tonopah and Goldfeld owns
some Of the ground at all, that they
claim. We see the prospectus claims
the Lookout claim west Of h Sand
storm. Chutes' map Dust published)
shows this claim to belong to the Wav-
erly Goldfeld and Chute is the official
surveyor and map maker of the
district. The Bugle group which is
represented as having such aristocratic
neighbors as the Great Bend, Daisy,
Black Butte, ETC., is a mile and a half
from the nearest one of them, the Great
Bend, and in a country that has hardly
been thought worth while to prospect,

claim to W a one-half interest. In
fact there is not a man in town that
would give $4,000 for the whole 400
acres. as mining ground. cutting out the

scented to part with a few thousand Of

timely and Thoughtful warning that the
time for Is cent shares was limited, as
the price would be advanced to 20

in town who would give $1,000 for the

the most notorious frauds coming to our
attention.
J. T.. vicksburg, 1Eiss.-We annot
undertake to advise you whether you
should come to Goldheld. We get letters
every day from men m women. young
and Did. of every condition of purse
and station wanting advice whether they
come to Goldfield. Many of them
want to n IL they can get employ
ment. mentioning their experiences n
previous state of servitude." ETC., just
as you have done. Others as o say
that they nave so little money hat they
cannot afford to come to Goldfield with
out something definite in view. Now,
we are not running an employment
agency, and do not know the labor mar
ket. But believe that the openings for
stenographers. clerks, bookkeepers and
general Office help are very few. In fact
there are two applicants for every office
job in town. Still. you might catch
where others fail. You must know
that after all 1t depends upon he in
dividual. Some people couldn't hold
a job If there were a score of openings.
and still others will. by their presence.
manner and qualifications make an OPEN
ing where none seems to exist. Again.
we could not advise in such a matter
quirers health and temperament. People
in poor health or predisposed to ailment
of any kind. or who cannot withstand
changes of climate hould not
here, especially If they have no
business that brings them here. 1t is a
poor place for people with little
money and unuse to rough conditions.
In general terms If you male or female,
want office work, stay away. Rugged
women might find washing or house
work to do. and young. robust and an,bi-
tious fellows, not afraid of work, would
get along. They could get employment
among the mines or in n~eighboring
camps. Already there are too many
adventurers-too many who came here
on a shoe string" with the expectation
of getting rich quick. They came here
with no einite purpose or occupation
in view but think in some way and some
how. gold nuggets will drop into their
lap and they will not need money or
work.. But they learn different when
they reach here. for they find hundreds
of others of the same kind here. broke
