Boost for Los Angeles

MING men of Los Angeles are now engaged in campaigning
wi for a record-breaking attendance at the next American Min
ing Congress, which meets in the 'city of the angels Septem-
Der 26th. Although Angelenos were slow in boosting for Goldfeld
last year, yet the people of Nevada should help the southerners this
year in every way possible.
While Los Angeles is out Of a real mining belt, it is the center for
the mining men of southern Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and south
ern California as well as for western Old Mexico, and for the southern
California oil fields that are now attracting general attention, and for
this reason it can be predicted that the attendance will be large. Those
interested IN oil can by a short trip, comparatively, visit the Coainga,
Kern. McKittrick and Ventura oil fields and ascertain for themselves
the facts about these widely exploited districts. And, too, the visitors
will be entertained in the garden spot of the United States, the trip
being one OF enjoyment and education all the way through.
The American Mining Congress, since it's last session, has seen the
victorious elimination of a long, hard, uphill struggle, in that the min
ing industry of the nation, second only to agriculture, has at last re-
ceived governmental recognition in the establishment of a bureau Of
mines and mining. 1t has been a struggle lasting through years, and
that this first step in the fight for recognition has been made is crafty
ing. The Mining Congress will doubtless keep on in it's good work
and lend material aid and advice in the establishment and work of the
new bureau. The magnitude of the mining industry, the number of
men it employees, the wealth it produces, the strength it gives the ma
ton, all seen, to demand the continuance and enlarged service of the
Mining Congress, and we hope the Los Angeles meeting may be the
most successful the Congress has ever had.

Keep Your Eye on Goldfield

r , EEP YOUR EYE on the Goldfeld mining district. Something is
y likely to happen at any time now. You may possibly go to
- sleep tonight wishing you could dispose of a bunch of low
priced Goldheld stock, and IN the morning find that, while You slept,
a round of shots had opened another bonanza mine O n some outlying
property, not only carrying up the stock of that compan,v but of all
the companies owning adjacent property.
The leasers are busy, and they are the people who made the first
bonanza discoveries. Many of them are working in Just as promising
ground and have just as good showings as the showings that took the
pioneer leasers into the pay shoot. In the pioneer DAVIS these ricb,
finds usually came suddenly. The miners put a round of holes into a
face that showed no commercial ore, loaded the holes lit the fuses and
then got out. When the smoke had cleared out they came back TO find
themselves Independently rich. Such was often the manner of the

Goldfie1d Forever

= yOW, what do you think of that
~ Goldfeld to get the greatest prizefght in the history =" inc
world
With San Francisco out of it, there was only one other place. TO
be sure-Goldfedl
Tex Richard remembered the Gans-Neson fight. He remembered
what a enormous success it was; how magnifeenty the people u
Goldfeld took care of the crowds and how delighted all the VISITORS
were to have the fight in the midst of the greatest gold camp In te
world.
He remembered too, that Godfed has plenty of railroad faclh-
ties; that it can be reached from east, west, north and south; tht 1t
is but a comparatively short distance from coast towns and that vlsi
tors from the east will enjoy the double advantages of visiting a gold
camp, and experiencing the delights offered by San Francisco and Los
Angeles, if they $ desire, with very little extra expense.
Tex Richards announcement IS t~eegraphed to The News and
posted on our bulletin board at II 40 today, created the intense eX-
ctement throughout Goldfeld. The news spread with electrical
swiftness over the streets and everything for the moment was forgot
ten in the general rejoicing. Business men with one voice promised
such contributions to any expense fund necessary, as to make one S
head swim, and it showed that Goldfeldis sporting spirit is IS ram
pant as of yore, the only thing necessary being the touch OF a live
wire.
Everyone remembers that. Goldfeds greatest boom commenced
with the Gans-Neson fight. The camp became known throughout the
world and such an era of prosperity was inaugurated as Godheld or
any other community ever before experienced. And history repeats
itself.
The question has been raised whether the news of the fight was
authentic. All The News can say is that a flash telegram was re-
lceiyed at IL 40 from the Associated Press and n TINS great news DIS
ISOLATION is not in the habit of taking. Any reports sent out by the
Associated Press can be relied on. Whether Tex Richard was bull
coming the A. T. when he gave out the interview is another thing
But if Tex Richard made the statement to the Associated Press with
any Interior motive, such as to spur on some other competing town
he has made the greatest tactical mistake in his career: for should the
news 60 over all the world Gas it has gone today that Goldheld was
to gt. the fight, and then Richard change his mind for another place
later, the whole fight world would become disguised and set down the
fight and everyone connected with it as fakirs and would quit the
whole outfit. If Tex Richard is "blufing" it is the worst bluff" he
ever put up, for he will be called by the great sporting public and the
fight will be "a complete failure in a financial way.

Deserving of Commentator

ONE time ago The News exclusively published that the Con-
solidated company was preparing an elaborate fire protection
system for the mine, mill and other properties OF the big COM
pany, in order to guard against and prevent loss of property and life,
by fire. Along this line the company is now broadening out and
establishing a system of regular inspection of all equipment above and
below ground, and of the underground workings, with a view to as
that regularly occur in the course of mining and manufacturing.
The Consolidated has made the following announcement, which
has been posted in various conspicuous part of the workings and
estate.
'The company desires to adopt all reasonable and prac-
teal precautions to insure the safety of its employees from ac-
cident. All men m invited to send in any suggestions that
may occur to them with regard to anything that may be done
to make safer any machinery or equipment of any kind in
any part of the property to Mr. Heath Steele, chief OF the IN
spectiou department, at the Combination office. Such sugges-
tons will be gladly received and carefully considered"
The hand of General Manager J. R. Finlay is to be plainly seen
IN this notice. Mr.. Finlay has for years been a n advocate OF Ill pos
sibie safeguards in mining operations, especially for the protection OF
life and limb, and now that he has been with the property long enough
to familarize himself with all its economic details, he is turning his
attention to the betterment of the conditions under which his many
hundreds of employees are working.
Mr.. Finay is recommending that in the machine shops and other
top workings, all possible safety appliances be used, and that under
en-. To this end workings where there are noxious gasses are being
better ventilated; old workings containing stagnant waters are being
aisinfected; regular inspection by competent men of hosts, cables,
ladder ways, cages, shafts, Slopes and laterals has been inaugurated.
The Consolidated 5 managert takes the stand that a human life IS
worth vastly more than a few dollars and that money expended in the
prevention Of loss of life or of limb is money wisely and humanely ex-
rended. He is giving the Consolidated company its days of greatest
prosperity, til e camp and the state a production from one company
not equaled by any other one mine in the world, and his latest step
care for the welLbeing of his employees one that must be com
mended.

ROCHESTER DOCTOR TO FLY
 ACROSS LAKE ONTARIO.

Rochester, N. Y., June 2.-In an aeroplane of his own construction for which he entertains the highest hopes, Dr. William Green, a Rochester avia- tor, will attempt on or about June 12 to fly from this city across Lake Ontario to Toronto. The distance is S6 miles and Dr. Green believes he will have to make the flight at an altitude of about HOO feet to escape the dangerous cross currents. Motor boats will attempt to follow the aero- plane.
 Greens aeroplane is about 36 feet from tip to tip, six feet longer than Curtis Hudson flyer and weighs about $50 pounds with it's motor. The engine is of his own manufacture.
 If he is successful in this flight Dr. Green says he will go after the big prizes recently hung up.

ing or to be put up within few days, being the total.
Especial from United Press.)


 New York, June 2.-Aviation prizes totalling S215,00O either now stand ing or about to be put up, according to today's despatches, show several notable additions to the rich sums of fered as awards to the winners.
 That the possibilities of the aero plane are practically unlimited is shown by the conditions that sur round the prizes. The longest flight proposed is that from New York to St. Louis.
 These rich prizes are arousing as great enthusiasm for aviation in this country as has been manifested in France where aeroplanes are almost as common as automobiles. Even the Wright brothers, who have held aloof from contests, indicate a de- sire to enter for the flight between New York and St. Louis. Glenn Cur tiss, winner of the Albany to New York $10,000 prize, will try for sev- eral of the new prizes as will J. c. Mars, Clifford Harmon, Charles K Hamilton, Charles F. Willard and others who have already won re- known as aviatorF. Louis Paulhan, who has more daring achievements to his credit than any other aviator with the possible exception of Glenn Cur tiss, may bring over his Farman bi- plane with which he won the $5O,0 ,00O prize for his flight from London to
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-06-02

Manchester, and go after some, of the big stakes on this side. Paulhan was so disgusted with his recent trip to this country that he announced he had enough of America but the latest word from France is that the size of the American prizes appeals to him.
 The terms agreed upon for the New York to Chicago flight provide that the trip shall be made in 72 hours, the contestants to have as many stops as desired. The same pilot must remain in charge of the aeroplane throughout the trip. The flight must be made between August 1St and November 1St.
 The Wrights have indicated that week should be allowed for the New York to St. Louis flight.
