GEORGE WINGFIELD
RETURNS TO NEVADA
Gives Interview to Reno Gazette and
Praises Senator Nixon---Says Nevada
is Good Enough for Him to Live in.

Wjngfield and asked him if | could
be allowed to quote him on certain
matters relative to his faith in Gold
field, to which he gave ready assent.
He and his associates having taken
options on the bulk of Senator Nix
ons mining interests in this state.
and these options are being rapidly
exercised. Mr.. Wingfield has not
given up his interest in the Cook
bank, and it is reported, and seems to
be generally believed, that he will
eventually control that institution.
Mr.. Wingfield's keen desire and in
tent is to put more life into the min
ing interests of Goldfield than has
existed for the past year or two. He
expresses every confidence that the
great showing on the Consolidated
will prove permanent, and that other
properties outside the consolidation
will prove to be large shippers. He,
at the same time, deplores certain I'M
scrupulous knockers and class of
men which has put>out mining shares
of doubtful value. He is certain that
material improvement in Goldfield
conditions is coming soon and, having
concentrated his interests, to a large
extent, in Goldfield, we can expect
considerable support from him.
Chicago is staggered by the out
put of the Goldfield district, and the
profits earned by the Consolidated
alone. The facts are being presented
to the people of that city in such q
forceful manner that they are simply
looking on in amazement. While
many interests have been dormant
with regard to Goldfield, now every
section of the country is taking de
cided interest in the camp, and will
assured continuation of production
am confident that new investment
will develop, and that this fall will
see the money come in from the cas-
as it did of yore-even if that pas
Irecord be not broken"

FIVE GOLD BARS
we're LOST FROM
AN AUTOMOBILE
TREASURE CAR FROM ROUND
MOUNTAIN NEARLY LOSES
BULLION.

The Lotus and Davis automobile.
carrying $45, 900 in gold bars, the re-
suit of a recent cleanup in the Sun
nyside mill at Round Mountain, trav-
eled several miles when coming in
from that camp Thursday without
their valuable cargo. The bullion
was placed in the bottom of the auto
mobile and had been carefully wrap
ped in a sack. The jolting of the ma
chine, with the aid of the heavy
weight of the bullion caused one of
the boards in the bed of the auto to
give way, and the sack with its prec-
ious contents was dropped into the
roadway.
The loss was not discovered until
the machine had nearly reached Man
haitian and then CONSERVATION reign
ed for minute. The auto quickly
turned in the opposite direction and
started to retrace it's course with all
haste possible. The missing bullion
was discovered after travelling about
three miles, lying in the center of
the road where it had fallen and an
investigation showed that the bag
had been dragged for several hundred
feet, having caught in the machinery
while falling. An inventory of the
contents was taken and when the five
gold bars were discovered to be in
tact sigh of relief went up from the
cars passengers.
At point not $50 feet from where
the bag was found number of men
were working on a placer property,
and had one of them discovered the
bullion it would have been an easy
task for him to dispose of it. The
road is also constantly Travelled by
vehicles and pedestrians, it being
nearly in the heart of the placer dig
gings and it seems strange that the
small fortune was not picked up by
others than the custodians.
An armed guard accompanied the
car and who would have been re-
sponsible for the bullion had it moi
been recovered.
The car remained in Tonopah {
short time Thursday and then pro
ceeded to Goldfield, where the golt
bars were deposited with the John S
Cook and company bank in that city

A glowing outlook for the Gold
field district for the coming season
This'is the prediction of j. c. Robert
son, of the John Donnellan company,
who has returned from an extensive
trip east. 1t is also the prophecy ac-
cording to Mr.. Robertson, of George
Wingfield with whom he spent con-
siderable time on business matters.
In an interview to the Goldfeld Tri-
bune of yesterday, Mr.. Robertson
makes the following statement:
''One of the primary purposes of
my visit east was to confer with Mr..
Wingfield with regard to an extension
of our Consolidated Red Top lease,
which was granted for period of six
months, during which time we hope
to even eclipse our past record and
pay more dividends. The property is
certainly looking fine. Wall street is
waiting for developments the same as
are mining people. But the situation
is clearing each day, and the general
condition of the country is shaping
itself for an era of prosperity such as
it never had before. Mr.. Taft is go
ing ahead in his calm well-balanced
manner, creating confidence each
hour and holding it. Every one is
certain that the vast amount of mon
ey stored away is gradually coming
out. In New York the banks are
chock full of money. This money
cannot lie idle, and if the public
doesn't borrow it, it must be invested
as best the banks can in bonds; but
even the bonds will not give sufficient
interest to satisfy the banks. This
purchase of bonds is largely respon-
sible for the stiffness in the bond
market, and has had sustaining in.
fuence on other securities. In addi
ton there is considerable short sell
ing by the chronic bears of New York
having tendency to keep prices
stiff.

The three hose companies of the
volunteer fire department will race
against time Sunday afternoon. The
contest will be like the one held on
the Fourth of July and should prove
an interesting sight The teams will
race 100 yards, connect the hose to
the hydrant, lay out 100 feet of hose,
break the coupling and connect the
nozzle before the water arrives. The
record made at the last race was 26
seconds, but it is thought that this
time will be beaten as the boys have
been doing considerable practice and
besides are old hands in the business.

Yuma is busy, up-to-date town. The more
modern Improvements consist of several blocks
OF attractive brick buildings. three-story post
office building, also of brick and many other
nice structures. Among some Of the greater
improvements which are being made, are a
SS5,000 school building, a $4,000 ice plant, q
fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, a
larger passenger depot, and the probability Of
q new court house to cost $4,000. There is con-
siderable business done there, but the people
have not begun to awaken to the vast possibili
ties OF the place. They should at once erect an
up-to-date tourist hotel. II should have ample
grounds around it and be planted with all

winter air to the East, the inspiration OF its
healthgiving qualities would bring 25.Co0
tourists every winter to the banks Of the Colo

Yuma needs only to make known it's climatic
attractions in the parts OF the East swept every
year by billiards. and SnowStormS to attract i

out effort on the part of the people. But with a
valley full of intelligent and industrious rural
population, producing fruits and vegetables
poultry. eggs, fresh milk and fragrant butter,
Yuma should be one of the most delightful
winter resorts in all America. There is every
thing there to furnish tourists with the most
healthfnl and delicious food. and il the air In
that region does nO1 drive doctors to seek q

do not know how to live properly.
