A WELL CONSIDERED TREATISE
ON THE GREAT MINING CAMP
OF NEVADA.

OF NEVADA.
Senator H. v. Morehouse, for years
considered one of the leading mem.
ber5 of the bar in California came to
Goldfield ruined man after the San
Francisco fire. In a few months he
has become recognized leader in the
great mining camp where men of
brains and push are sent to the front.
He is brilliant orator, among many
other brilliant orators of that section
and was selected by the Promotion
Committee to close thee case of the
Goldfield county seat on the Houss
yesterday which he did with consul
mate skill and to the satisfaction of
his home people.
The following article from his pen
is fine digest of conditions in the
city of Goldfield. This article ought
to be scattered broadcast over the
world to answer the slanders which
are being circulated on the Atlantic
seabord to stem the steady stream Of
money which is coming to Nevada be-
cause Of her unprecedented mining
developments
The language of l. Rider Haggard,
in describing King Solomon's Mines,
cannot and does not express the re-
ality of the mines Of Goldfeld.
While Goldheld is now a settled
and assured fact, many persons,
, nevertheless either from a timidity
to cash their fortunes in new place,
or from want of knowledge or from
the desire to misrepresent a place
they have not seen, say that Goldfeld
is simply mining camp and has
no future. To anyone not familiar
with the conditions which surround
Goldfeld, they cannot understand,
! that in less than one year from now,
Goldfeld will be city of $4,000 in
! habitants. This is no dream. 1t is
! simply the statement of "a fact, this
is so because Goldfeld needs and de-
mands labor. Wages in Goldfeld to-
day, are larger than in any other
place in America Hundreds of men

employment this very day if they
should come to Goldfeld Further
laboring men can get home in Gold
field, at small price and having
their families with them. Again Gold
fld is a poor mans opportunity.
Our. mines are not in the hands Of
rich corporations, with the officers
and Board of Directors, in some
Eastern city, and the wealth taken
} from the earth, sent away to fatten
and build up owners and spectators,
who do not live among us.
Our mine owners live with us and
: are part of us and when they grow
rich. they at once commence spend
ing their money in Goldheld and build
splendid stone buildings. Again oui
mines are not in the hands of a
few men, but are distributed, so that
the incomes, flow into the business
: channels of the city. and thus build
up all other occupations. We meet
more people. not simply to say we
{ have a growing city, not at all, we
t need them, because the business in
: terests of the place demand them
r to conduct the business of the city
: Our people are energetic and enter
e prising, and get every branch of bust
y ness instead of being over-done, need
Il more people to do it. This deman

add to our population. Again, w

purpose of developing our mines.
We have the money at home. "
