MR.. W|EDhAN INTERVIEWED
Prominent Mining Man Visits
Austin and Tells Reveille
About Eureka's Future

On his return to Eureka from q trim
through Southern Nevada last week,
G. L. Wiedman visited Austin and was
interviewed by q Reveille representative
as follows:
q. L. Wiedman, who discovered the
metal value Of the windfall property
at Eureka. bought it and with an ex.
denditure of $500 made it a divi.
dend payer aud thus added q SECOND
lease OF life to the great camp Of Eure
ka County. returned this week from Q
tour OF the Southern camps in his high
power auto. Wiedman was at Ellen
dale. OF course. He offered $50, 900 TO,
a 30 day lease on the ground where the
original strike was made. Bot he
didn't get.it. OF the new camp he said:
1T Is q wonder In a way. All the work
done when / was there was an open cut
some 10 feet in length. The rock ex.
pc ed was amazingly rich. To say what
the future of the camp will be Is pure
guess work. until more development
shall have been done"
Mr.. Wiedman was more ready to
talk Of Eureka than of any other camp
in the State. His company already has
a cyanide mill in operation and have
81 900, 900 worth Of ore blocked out.
Wiedman saw" this in the ground
there about a year ago. when all the
work consisted of a measly corkscrew
shaft a little more than 100 feet in
depth. That his judgment has been
SO wonderfully c~orroborated by results
is a source Of great qualification to the
men associated with him. 1t is an OBJ
ject lesson to investors in mines. IL
teaches: pin your faith to a maj that
is a mining man. and then tell him to
60 to the limit.
The Windfall mine will require a
milling plant of 1000 tons daily capac-
ity. This plant will be put in. There
will be delay until the question Of
power is settled. II the Nevada-Ca li-
fornia Power Company does not extend
its lines to Austin and Eureka on the
way to Ely, then the Windfall Company
will put in their own power plant at
Eureka. The mine will eventually en-
ploy 400 or 500 men.

Eureka'S Exhibit at GOldfield
Great Opportunity Given to Demonstrate to Mining
Men at the Mining Congress the Resources
OF the Mines of This County

Realizing the need Of giving to the
world an accurate idea Of Nevada's un-
limited mineral wealth, and removing
any wrong impressions that may have
been made. the Nevada Legislature at
its last session wisely decided 10 elimi-
nate all doubts as to her wonderful re-
4ources by establishing q Board Of Min
.ng Commissioners to forward the
responsible work Of gathering q general
mineral exhibit to be display ed in Gold.
field during the sessions Of the American
Mining Congress. beginning September
~. 1903, and extending through the
week. The Commissioners appointed
by the Governor are Thomas d. MUIR
ply, Mi ton NJ. Detch of G~oldfield, and
II. O. Schmidt Of Tonopah to constitute
such board. In turn the commissioners
selected two solicitors. @. F. Kapp being
n Of them. to go into the various min.
ing districts. and cooperate with the
people Of those districts In building up
q mammoth mineral exhibit for the
Congress.
Charles +. Kspp Of Goldfeld. repre-.
sentinR the Board Of Mining Congress
Commissioners, arrived in Eureka last
Monday for the purpose of meeting the
mining men Of Eureka and adjacent
territory, and a meeting was held In
the Justice's courtroom Tuesday evening
preparatory to organizing for properly
cooperating with Mr.. Kapp in making
a creditable display or exhibit of the
ores Of Eureka County at, the session Of
the Congress.
Mr.. Kapp is especially fitted for the
work which will occupy his time for
the pext several months. He knows
the mining business. and is experienced
in the matter of collecting commercial
ores and mineral specimens. having
served in building the California min
eral exhibit at the ST. Louis worlds fair
and having classified and made mineral
exhibits at various other places of ma
tionsl importance.
On recount Of the short time in which
to call a meeting, il was not possible to
get together as many Of the representa-
tive mining men of this vicinity as was
desirable. however, quite q number
were present to listen to Mr.. Kapp's
remarks. and great interest was shown
by all present in the plans Of the States
Commission in carrying out 30 great IN
undertaking as an exhibit to do proper
credit to the wonderful mineral re-
sources of this State.

ed ct Goldfeld.
Mr.. Kapp suggested that il possible q
folder. letter or pamphlet be prepared
for distribution at Goldfield showing
the immense mineral values already
produced by Eureka aud the county's
present resources.
A motion was passed cordially thank
ing Mr.. Kapp for taking sufficient inter.
est in Eureka County to awaken rs ont
Of the Rip Van Wrinkle sleep we have
peer In for the past 20 years.
On motion the meeting then adjourn
ed to Wednesday evening, July IA.
The SENTINEL believes the present
opportunity to advertise the mines Of
this district and county at the Mining
Congress at Goldfield to be one that our
citizens generally should take up and
push to their utmost ability. and a pro-
per showing Of our resources should
bring us fiattering results in investments
in both old and new mining properties.
The American Mining Congress is
composed of mining men from all Lver
the United States and Canada. 1t is a
representative body. last year it met
in P%ittsburg. Penn. The Congress has
secured for visitors to the Pacific Coast
this year the privilege of stopping over
in Nevada, giving all those attending
the Alaska Yukon Exposition q chance
to stop and WRIT any camp or all the
camps in the State. This is an unusual
feature in the excursion business
through this State. The Congress in
membership and visitors will bring to
Goldfield and to the State thousands of
visitors and will thus give Eureka
County q chance to advertise its min
eral to the entire world in a
manner that will probably not be pre-
sented to us again in many years.
The law provides that the mineral ex.
hibit shall be under the supervision OF
this State. The State is responsible for
the proper handling and care of every
specimen loaned or given to the exhibit.
1t is provided that all exhibits loaned
shall be returned to the at the
close of the exhibit, but that where the
owner does not care for the return of
the exhibit that the same shall be turn
ed over to the Mackay School of Mines
Of our State University.

prepared by the Committee:
