The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-08-28

this authentic account of Goldfeld' s
great mine carefully and thoughtfully
and be advised that the Consolidated
does not own all the gold bearing ground
in Goldfeld, but that they have been
able to open up such great riches only
by the expenditure of millions of money
scientifically directed. The Hayes
Monnette lease on the Mohawk put the
Mohawk in good financial shape. With
this as a basis for the great holding
company afterward formed, the Com
bination was taken in. The Combina-
ton was already a big profitable pro-
Queer. With these two mines, it was
not long before the new Consolidated
company had a big treasury with which
to operate and from that time to this,
development on an immense scale has
been underway. 1t Is hardly b~elievable
that there have been 80 miles of under
ground work lone on this property
within the short five years of its exist
ence, but nevertheless, such is the case.
But work like this is what makes a
great mine. Those people who buy
stock in a prospect one day and expect
it to be made into a mine the next day
or next week, or in a year, should re-
feet over this.
Great things are expected when the
American Mining Congress meets i'll
Goldfeld the last of the coming month.
Widespread interest is being manifested
and large crowds are expected both
from outside states and from Nevada.
Men of the greatest prominence and
authorities in their various lines will
be in attendance, and questions of
highest Importance to the mining world
will be discussed. Renewed effort will
be made by this congress to induce the
| National Congress at Washington to
/ enact a law creating a governmental!
+, department of mines with it's head d
cabinet officer. The question of an
enlarged use of silver will also be dis
discussed, not from a political, but
from an economic standpoint. A pro-
gramme will be published in this paper
when it is completed. We wish that

during this session of the American
Mining Congress, for they would not
only be benefited by the papers read
and discussions held, but all the Gold
field mines will be thrown open and will
be seen under the most favorable condi-
tions and auspices. The mining exhibit
being collected from all over the state
bids fair to rival any mining exhibit
! tion ever gotten together. Practically
! every camp in the state is to be repre-
scented, and Nevada is world-famous for
it's rich specimens But there will
not only be specimen ore, but good
big lots, showing the strength of the
pay streaks and general character of
the high grade. There will also be
milling ore and wall rock showing the
general formation of the camp in which
the mines are located. The News will
issue a sumptuous souvenir edition dur
ing the Congress. 1t will be printed on
book paper, at least 16 and perhaps
"A pages in size, thoroughly illustrated
with new cuts depicting the most re-
cert progress in the town and camp.
This will be a pretty satisfactory sub
stitute for actual attendance on the
Congress and we want TO put a copy
into the hands of every one at all con
eerned in mining.
This is enough in a general way for
this time, and now we will get down
to the specific wants of our readers.
We find before us about $50 letters
of inquiry, and we scarce know where
to begin. We know where to leave off,
as we are given just so much space.
Next week and thereafter we will
work tie letters over and have an
answer to all of them as soon as pos
sible. Sometimes there are severa
queries about one property, in which
case we will nave to let the one answer
do for all. We will today take up
those queries which we believe will be
of the greatest interest to the most sub
scribers.
THE QUERY EDITOR.
F. B., Columbus, Ohio-While your
Letters and queries are quite numerous,
il is interesting to note that you have
not been frightened to any large extent
by the dire predictions made by Shelf
tells and others regarding Consolidated
You will probably find most of the in
formation you are seeking in Mr.. Min

conservative in every statement, and
