GOLD REEF MAY BE
QUEEN NEVADA CAMP
INNUMERABLE LEDGES RUN
CLOSE TO T0NOPAH
Existence of High Grade Ore to Sur
pass GoldfieId Is Said to Be Only
Matter of Following
Groupings

Gold Reef is the making of the great
est camp yet known in southern Ne
vada, declares the Tonopah Sun. 1t is
as true as preaching that it's future,
and immediate future especially, de-
ponds on the starting of activity there.
In other words, it depends solely and
absolutely on the people of Tonopah.
They can make it If they choose, or
they can prevent it's growth for the
next four and a half years as they
have in the past four and a half years
since its discovery.
To show them where they individu-
ally profit is the best way to get people
interested in a movement. AT Gold
Reef they can personally participate,
and the profits for all are bound to be
immense. In mining it Is great camp
with innumerable lodges, many of them
known and all with ore that will pay
to lease. The existence of high grade
ore that will rival or surpass Goldfeld
is only a matter of finding it with the
places marked by groupings and the
many points where the great lodges
cross each other. To say that Tonopah
and Goldfeld are rich and that Gold
Reef with a larger area than the for
mer and richer surface showing than
the latter, and situated in the same
mineral belt directly between them, is
not as rich, would be the statement OF
a mining absurdity.
There are indications there of mines
that within six months will handsomely
support a population of 5000 people.
That means the greatest prosperity for
All classes within many miles, whether
thew be miners, workmen of any trade,
business men of all kinds and profess
sional men. Inside of six months there
should be large mercantile emporiums,
banks, hotels, newspapers, schools,
churches and all that goes with an up
to-date city of the west. 1t will have
telephones, telegraph, electric lghts
and every means of transportation
And this where now stands bleak
desert, traversed by day by a few pros
pectors and still by day and night by
coyotes and jack rabbits.
