MANY TO MAKE
GOLDFlELD TRIP
SIERRA MADRE CLUB WILL
LEAVE THURSDAY
More Than Forty Members of Los
Angeles Organization Will Be
Present as Members of
Congress

The Sierra Madre club has decided to
leave Thursday for Goldfeld with a
special train, carrying club members
and friends to celebrate California day
at the mining congress. The first plans
were to leave here on Friday, but 1t
has been decided by the committee
which had the affair in charge that
more time in the great gold camp was
necessary to do the cause justice.
The chamber of mines has abandoned
its intention to run a special train, and
the Sierra Madre club has extended an
invitation to the directors to join the
club in the excursion.
The club train will leave here Thurs
day night on the Santa Fe regular for
Ludlow, from where 1t will travel as a
special over the T. & 7. railroad to
Goldfeld, arriving there at IL o'clock
F'riday morning. A telegram has been
sent to Secretary Callbreath of the min
ing congress, advising him of the plans
and asking him to delay Fridays ses-
sion until the Los Angeles boosters ar
rive on the scene.
More Than Forty Will Go
Every member of the Sierra Madre
club is entitled to membership in the
mining congress, and the train will car
ry some forty-odd who have already
received their membership cards and
buttons and who will go as full-hedged
members of the organization.
The train will consist Of two stand
ard sleepers and one buffet car, and
will be at the disposal of the excur-
sionists for the two nights which are
to be passed in Goldfield. The t. & Il.
has a spur track on Fifth avenue, less
than five blocks from the Hippodrome
theater, where the meetings of the
congress are held, so the cars can be
conveniently reached. Returning, the
train will leave Goldfeld Sunday after
noon, arriving in Los Angeles Monday
morning in time for the business of the
day. The fare, including berth for the
four nights, will be $40.
The committee from the club which
has the affair in charge has made elab-
crate plans for the comfort and enter
tainment of those who go. M. Chenard
the club steward, who has reputation
for caring for guests and members of
the Sierra Madre, will go along to look
after the creature comforts, and the
train will also carry its own barber.
There will be no lack of entertainment
en- route, and fine time on arrival.
To Boost for Los Angeles
Douglas White, manager of the ad-
vertising department of the Salt Lake
road, will leave for Goldfeld this even
ing in private car No. 102. Invitations
to accompany him have been accepted
by G. Alfred Maryland of Los Angeles
and F. H. OMAN of Glendale. Mr.
Maryland and Mr.. White are delegates
appointed by Mayor Alexander. The
rest of Mr.. Whites party will be made
up this morning.
The Sierra Madre club is determined
that Los Angeles shall hold up the
credit of Southern California, and the
committee will make a canvass of the
business part of town today and Mon
day. San Francisco will have crowd
of boosters in Goldfield all week.
