is not a district n the continent where mining conditions arr SO good and the
prospect of large returns upon intelligent investment so certain.
Since GAdfed came into existence a few years ago, new camps have
sprung II, which for a time promised, according to their hackers to beat Gold
field" These camps many OF them, have become permanent producers, but
thy ire aM far back in the coMmnt that Gddhed is leading We have yet ito
SCI n that can hold a place alongside Of 0oldfeld and this Il not % their dis
paragement. Godfed is yet in its infancy. The mines area all still compare
lively shallow and undeveloped; but enough depth has been obtained to sci at
restt the question If permanency. The mines we call great today, in a few years
will be tmmeasurably greater and the holes the ground we 10Y call prospects,
win be mines Of no mean proportions. The best among recent visiting experts
believe with the rest OF u.s. that there will - mines yet discover that will
prove IS great al our present greatest producers.
Goldheld has grown up under conditions that would have strangled Ito the
death any camp Of ordinary merit. What with high freight and mdter charges
with high labor and abnormal cost Of HOUSEHOLD and mine supplies. and with in
Vulnerable labor strikes the only wonder is that aodfed has stood the strain
field is a gold camp # unparalleled richness and the people Of the country know
it and believe ain it and will not be shaken out And o that all fear of future
labor troubles has been removed, they will be coming in stronger than YER By
October l, with the output of 1000 IONS per day and with mills in operation in
the camp to handle the entire production, Goldfed will surely be a hummer
The stock market is already giving signs of what may be expected in the
laer summer or early fall There is an undercurrent Of strength that aims with
every day The stocks # the big mines are in demand and ire gradually getting
into stronger hands which means that they will be retired from the market and
taken u of the hands of scaPas and spectators Better prices m the prospects
viii follow the Improvement in mine prices, and a good strong market-not
Tightly but buoyant and responsive may be expected from this time on
