Recently Goldfeld has acquired

prosperity continues its appearance
will rapidly change for the better. Its
future is regarded as bright on account
of the wonderful deposits of the pre-

Wood, stone and brick at first sold for
almost as much as their weight In

coal went up to $50 ton and wood to
SEQ cord. 1t Is shid to have cost $780,
600 to erect merely the front wall of a
two story building which was recently
constructed OF Nevada sandstone. The
difficulty of getting material for house
building forced the miners to set their
wits to work. One miner got load Of
bottles from the back yard of saloon
and out of them constructed one of the
warmest houses in town by laying the
bottles in tiers and placing mud be-
tween them. The mud soon dried into
hard cakes like adobe, and when he
had put on tin roof the miner had n
home worth the name. Some houses
