The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-08-22
R. ". Linn. Mass. Goldfield has three

n. w. A441A 4xxooos Ho
lines of railroad, the Tonopah 4 Gold
field, connecting with the Southern Pa
ciic system to the north and the Tono-
pah & Tidewater, connecting with the
Santa Fe system to the south, and the
Las Vegas & Tonopah, a branch of the
Clark road, or the Salt Lake, Los An
,geles & San Pedro railroad to the south.
A line is planned to be built from Gold
field to Ely, the new copper mining n
smelling point in central eastern Ne
vada. All camps may be reached from
Goldfeld by stage or auto, preferably
the latter. Goldfeld is destined to be-
come a great commercial as well as min
ing and ore reduction point. The popu-
lation is more than keeping pace with
the opening of the mines. Business is
probably as good here as in any town
of it's size in the country during the
present money stringency.

Mining has paid mi dividend of four
cents this summer and has just declared

tain Mining company. Shareholders in
Extension may have their stock trans
ferred for stock in Round Mountain

Crown Silver Pick is not making any
showing at present. 1t is understood

leasing stock on the Goldfeld exchange
the company must own claims. A com
mittee investigates. the holdings of a.
company before it's securities are placed
on the board.
J.. r., Philadelphia. The recent ~activ-
ity in Booth was doubtless due to dis
coveries in adjoining properties, par
tieularly in the Consolidated Red Top
and in the Miss Jessie claim of the
Laguna. The Smith lease on Booth is
expected to show good returns as it is
situated on the trend of the ore bodies.
Control has passed into the hands OF
Nixon & Wingfeld.
