Of opinion that makes a horse race: IL
is difference of opinion that makes a
poker game: 1t is difference of opinion
that makes ten mines where there might
b. but one. II II were not for this dit
ference of opinion every fellow would
want to locate the same claim. 1t
II we're not for difference of opinion
perhaps all these Goldheld people would
have wanted to settle in Los Angeles.
Difference of opinion has been a great
thing for Goldheld and for the city
Of Angels and always will be. Because
II exists however, is no reason why
there should not be a fraternal spirit
of helpfulness working for the advance
ment Of both cities. This spirit exists
and 1t has been intensified by this ex-
cursion. 1t will do a great deol TO
stimulate the business of Goldfeld and
the business Of Los Angeles. We shall
pull together and the Pull" will be
the best thing that ever happened for
the two lamps

Lei Of Mines:-I have had tie pleasure
CT seeing LeadvilIe IN its palraies. days
but it strikes me that Goldf I'D Is on OF
tho most marvellous productions ! ever
saw OF course, with the brief cxainina-
ton we could make, we 1ad to depend
a great deal on fearsay and results.
II is the belief OF myself ami the MEM
bers Of our delegation that you have
a great camp. The question is what
next to do. First of all comes the pros
pector breaking the trail. then wagon
transportation and then the railroad.
The people must not forget that rail-
roads cost a great deal of money and
necessarily, until there Is competition,
they must expect high freight rates.
With competition will come a gradual
reduction in rates and with cheaper
rates men can work cheaper ground.
Up to the time of our coming up here,
Los Angeles had no outlet for business
here in Nevada. Now we have the out
let and we have brought a delegation
Of representative men to look over the
field, and I want to say that I have not
heard a word of criticism from a ingle
thinking man in the party since We ar
rived in the state.
We organized the Chamber of Mines
for the Capitalization of the mining in
terests Of Los Angeles because we have
a great many moneyed men looking for
investments and hope to bring the mine
owners. the prospectors and investors
together. Then when you have produced
all the wealth you need you can come
to Los Angeles and partake of our COM
forts.

c. E. Bittinger, vice-president of the
First National Bank:-I am simply
amazed at the magnitude and h
of the mining properties that we saw
in Goldfeld. I was also immensely
surprised at the extent and population
of the city of Goldfeld as we'll as at the
substantial character of the improve
ments that are everywhere in evidence.
1t is almost beyond belief that so much
could have been accomplished in such
a short space of time. 1t is a very
great pleasure and privilege to me per-
sonally to be able to come On this ex-
cursion and I think I have gained a
great deal of information about the
country that will be of benefit to my
self and the financial interests I repre-
sent. Goldfeld is a phenomenally rich
