GOLDFIELD IS AFTER THE
AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS

parched desert is a land of living
streams of water. abundant fields and
happy homes. We prophesy that a visit
to this city would prove a revelation,
and were it not that we believe that
the purposes of the Mining Congress
would be better subservcd here than
elsewhere, we would not press this in
vitation.
Trusting that Goldfell may have
the honor and pleasure of entertaining
the American Miaing Congress at its
next years session, we are, yours very
truly,
THE GOLDFIELD CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE,
c. s. SPRAGUE, President.
Senator Nixon's Letter.
Copy of letter sent to members of
the board OF directors of the Mining
Congress by Senator G.. s. Nixon:
Washington, ID. G., Dee. II, 1908.
Dear Sir:
| understand that the Mining Con
grcss recently adjourned at Pittsburg
decided to hold the next congress in the
West, and that Goldield, Nevada, has
been favorably mentioned as a suitable
city for said convention. and that the
matter will be decided within a short
4,,.. ~. a Io..,A, 1f hAnP1 aAnSICf-
ing of nine members, of which you are
one.
There is no doubt that appropriate
hotel accommodations, railroad facili-
ties, and everything necessary for the
comfort of the delegates exists there,
besides the greatest gold mining sec
ton in the United States, and as
president of the Goldfeld Consolidated
Mines company, | car assure the con
vention that every courtesy in the
power of the company which l repre-
sent will be extended towards the en-
joyment and enlightment, if that is
possible, during the visit to Goldfeld.
Our company will have in operation
one of the most %up-to-date l00-stamp
mills in the United States, within the
next thirty days. This mill has been
favorablv commented ON by the most
representative mining men of the day,
and | think would prove a source of
interest to visitors, especially when
they realize the results we will be able
to obtain in the reduction of ores.
Too much cannot be said of this
young, enterprising camp and its his
tory, and l am sure no mistake would
be made in it's selection as the next
convention city for the American Min
ing Congress. Yours truly,
G.. s. NIXON.
