LUNCHEON A GREAT SUCCESS

Here is the Daisy. at 400 feet, they have perfect vein
formation-jus as it is in the Great Bend-fve feet OF ore
that breaks $50. The same is in evidence at 300 feet. Here
they are putting down a great three compartment shaft-a
matter of three months, when the big tonnage in the Daisy
will be going to the mill. 1t is believed, and already u y
great extent demonstrated, that the next producing center
of the camp will be out on the Great Bend ridge. -Four
great working shafts are going down there. The Great
Bend and Daisy are now in the shipping class, and certain
to become important factors in the work of the coming
year. Other important work is shaping. Mr.. Keelyn is, l
believe, shaping a work that will open a new producing
point. The plans have been submitted to me, and If car
ried forward on the lines projected, the coming year will
see new strength from this source.
Milling Capacity

Gold6eld rs I have seen them. But the bearing Of all this
is in its APPLICATION were wasting your time and my own,
otherwise. There is now in camp, completed and In course
of construction. seven mills, with a total capacity OF l,ooo
tons. And these are built and building, not in the hope
that the camp will grow to it-grow to 1000 tons a day-it
has already grown, and simply waiting. But two of these
are vet in commission. The Nevada Reduction, with a
capacity of loo tons, and the Combination, so tons, each
running today, successfully and at full capacity. In course
of construction are the COLONIZATION, so tons; the Florence,
so tons; the Kinkead and American (being reftted), go
tons Joint capacity; and the Consolidated, 600 tons. Five
months from this time every wheel of these will be in mo-
ton. Our mines-and I've shown you that the ore is
there-wil be then sending out 1000 tons to these mills.
Place that tonnage at $40 per ton, and every time the sun
sets $4,000 will be added to the wealth of the worid-an
annual return of $14, 100000. To this may be safely added
10 per cent for the concentrates and high grade that will
never reach a mill, making the grand total production
which we are now facing, s~16,O0O,0oO a year.
.'And do you know what this means, this new order of
thingsa 1t means that the ores of Goldfeld will be treated
here, right on our own ground, by our own workmen, at a
cost of 10 per cent, against 80, which we have been paying.
1t means additional hundreds employed in the work; 1t
means a bigger dividend earning capacity for the mines in
the camp; it means confidence in the investing public, and
a rapid rise in all stock values; it means a larger fund OF
money for local use and life; it means a camp of 10000

Hon. Charles s. Sprague,
President Chamber of Commerce,
Goldfeld, Nevada.
My Dear Sir:
The invitation. which you have ex-
tended to me to address the Chamber
of Commerce at its luncheon to be held
on Wednesday, the 9th, is one which l
would gladly accept did l intend to be
in Goldfeld at that time. / am obliged,
however, to leave for home not later
than Sunday, having already extended
my stay in Goldfeld a fortnight beyond
my original intention. | fully appre-
ciate the invitation, however, as | real
ize the Importance to the community OF
the Chamber of Commerce, together
with some of the things which it can
accomplish.
Every community in the country is
and continues to be what its citizens
make it. The reputation it bears and
the purposes it serves are the reflex of
the energy and effort of its citizens, or
of the absence of these qualities from
matters of public and private concern.
This is as true of a mining camp as OF
any other community, although there Is
frequently lacking a conviction of that
element of permanently which must un-
derlie the well being of them al. l
have been identified with the mining
camps of the west for the past 80 years
and know a little something of their
commercial opportunities and some of
their disadvantages. Each has its
period of abnormal growth and excite
ment during which everything is over
done, which is inevitably followed by
a collapse, some times complete, some
times partial, which brings their people
to a realizing sense of the unwisdom of
too rapid growth and the necessity Of
conforming to more ordinary and con-
sequently more enduring conditions.
Goldfeld is not an exception to these
things. 1t has had its day of struggle
and infancy, and its hey-day OF speeu-
lation and excitement. 1t must now
turn itself to the sober realities of the
present, and acting upon their expert
ences its business men can do no better
work for themselves and for Southern
Nevada than to make the Chamber OF
Commerce an agency for the develop
ment of its welfare and the protection
of its interests.
OF course Goldfeld is the child of the
mines. Without them it never would
have been. With them it should re-
main upon the map as permanently as
other towns in the country which orig
mated from the same cause. Mines are
presumably of temporary duration

There is no particular change in the general situation
financially. The New York stock market has had the ups
and downs of an active week; the volume OF trading not SO
heavy as in the preceding week. Prices at this writing
show a decided tendency to go to a lower level, but re-
actions are in order and the closing days of June will no
donbt see better prices in dividend paying stocks In an
tieipation of the July disbursement of semi annual divi-
dends on an enormous amount of stocks, bonds and perma-
pent investment securities. The pension roll cuts a big
figure in the actual money released, something like forty
millions being the amount quarterly distributed over the
whole country in January, April, July and October. This
sum If real money from the United States treasury, paid
ont through the different subtreasuries, very quickly finds
its way back through the country banks to the money
eenters and is available for use in the different channels of
trade. A more active demand, with better prices, ruled on
the mining exchanges early in the week. Goldfeld will feel
the summer dullness and the presidential year apathy no
doubt, but we have more than reasonable assurance OF a

"Goldfeld is certainly a wonderful
camp. The place is permanent and the
tonnage promises to be something won
derful. The railroads are disposed to
grant the lowest possible rates and we
are taking up with the smelters the
matters of reduction of their charges.

fact that the men who make the money

The Chamber of Commerce MONDAY luncheon at the
Casey on Wednesday was a decided success and much good
may be expected from these meetings if the same spirit
prevails as was in evidence at the initial meeting. The
speech of Mr.. j. p. Lotus was an excellent one. 1t dealt
almost wholly with statistical figures of the camps past
production, with a fair, square look into the immediate
future of this wonderful treasure house and the PROBABLE
tiles of greater, more generous and more orderly distributed
production in the mines and leases 'without the rim -
The speech was listened to with rapt attention by more than
a hundred of Goldfeld's best business men, a few guests
from the outside world, and was applauded most heartily.
The speech will be printed in pamphlet form, and should be
widely disseminated through the east as a true exposition
of Goldfeld's greatness, present and prospective.

generally can see if she cares to be shown. Southern Ne
vada comes rapidly to the front from now on, and we face a
situation of peace, progress and plenty.

nation which cannot be refuted, and in
the end they will force the issue to o
successful conclusion.
This secured, Goldfield ought to build
up a fairly good jobbiaa trade. South
ern Nevada is being rapidly explored
with new communities springing up
everywhere; and these ought to be
made commercially tributary to Gold
field. An energetic Chamber of Com
merce can largely make them SO.
TIE mine owners and the local mer-
chants should establish and act upon
sound principles of reciprocity. They
should and through the Chamber of
Commerce they can, cooperate for the
common benefit, patronize and defend
each other and thus stand together for
their own and the interests of their see.
tion.
The matter of rates from the public
service corporations will inevitably de-
mand your attention in time. These
ear be met and worked out to the in
~terests of both sides through the agency
of a vigorous organization of business
men better than in any other way. If
taken in time, the subject can he
eliminated from politics where it in
evitably becomes a source of injury
both to the companies and the consum-
ers.
One of the best checks upon the ex.
penditure of public moneys is the local
business and commercial organizations.
They carry weight with them to which
no individual can aspire. Their views
are largely the views of the taxpaying
community and the menace of their dis
pleasure is a deterrent valuable every
where but especially so in frontier COM
munities.

and ever present. The manner in which
they are met and handled will consti-
tute the test as well as the source of
Goldfeld's real prosperity. 1t is a trite
but true maxim that "Gold helps those
that help themselves, - and while l have
heard of exceptions to the rule l have
never personally encountered one.

so pleasant and the friends I have been

AGENT LIDDY
REPRIMANDED
The Sailors Union Agent Hears
Stern Words From Police
Judge.

Judge Andrade gave a gentle roast to
Agent Liddy of the Seaman 5 Union in
police court yesterday when the agent
appeared to prosecute Tom Lee, watch
man of the Railroad wharves. whom
he had cited last week on a penal sum
mons, charging him with assault. Lee
was not only discharged by the court,
on the ground that the charge was triv-
ial and unsupported by evidence, but
completely exonerated.
Liddy did not have witness to
prove his case. He explained that he
did not know where to get him, where
upon Mr.. Lee offered to produce him,
if the court and prosecuting attorney
desired him. There was smile at this
offer, but Lee gave it in good faith,
saying that he would assist the prosecu-
ton that much, as the evidence would
only be in his favor.
There was no assault on Mr.. Liddy
~ Mr.. Lee. The latter had warned
A1dy not TO 90 upon the wharves of
the Railroad company and Mr.. Liddy
thereupon said he had a right. He
claimed Lee laid his hand upon him and
showed him off the wharf.
As to Lee and his methods on the
wharves, he is a kamaaina of about
twenty-five years, and has the conf
dence not only of the Oahu Railroad
people, but of the officials of the Amer
iean-Hawaiian steamship line and the
several captains of the big freighters.
1t is said the railroad company wants
no agents of unions or other organiza-
tons going upon its wharves, and the
steamer companies do not want them
on their vessels, in the interest of dis
eipline.

BOOM FOR HILO
IN COURT PAPER
Court Stipulation That HiIO Is
the Biggest Place in
Territory.

A stipulation was fled by the attor-
neys for the respective parties in the
suit of the First American Savings g.
Trust Company VS.. A. J. Campbell,
Treasurer of the Territory, in which the
rather remarkable statement is made
that with the exception of Honolulu,
Hilo has larger population than the
remainder of the Territory. The stipu-
lation is stated to be for the purpose
of leaving no question but that the
court has judicial knowledge of the
population of Honolulu and Hilo, and is
as follows:
"a The population of Honolulu is,
to wit, 39,306
(2) The population of Hilo is, to wit,
1875.
(3) The population of all other places
in the Territory of Hawaii is less than
the population of Hilo.
Doubtless what is meant is that the
population of every other place in the
Territory is less than the population of
Hilo, and doubtless the court will take
judicial notice that that is what is
mean.
