WIEGFIELD STATES PLANS
Bellies The Gossip That Has
Been State Wide About His
Ambitions.

Il uAueIhldn0 tudt oO1llG vi tht 4St-
yada and coast newspapers have
been very busy since my departure
in running me for tho United States
Senate two years hence against SEN
ator Newlands | wish to say that
| Will not be a candidate against
Senator Newlands OF any one else
two years hence. Ny business Is
making mines and making the mines
pay dividends. II | succeed in this
I viii have performed my life work.
Politics doesn't interest me any way,
except IN the aiding Of my friends
and in furthering the interests of
men and policies which l believe to
be right said George Wlngfleld in
an interview published in last Mon
days Gazette on his return from a
trip East
'Than there comes the rumor
from certain busy people in Gold
field that | intend to wreck their
town, continued Mr., Wingfeld,
Let Iao say IN as few words as pos
aiole that if there is to be any wreck
ing done out there It will be my per-
sonal fortune that meets with dis
astcr
Il have as heavy interests in the
town as all the other people who re-
side there combined. and l certain
y would be shortsighted not to pro-
tect those interests. | want to make
Goldfield a permanent camp, and
viii labor continually TO that end. l
want all Of Nevada's camps and dis
tricts to succeed, whether | am per-
sonally and financially interested in
them or not.
''If the people who libel me with
their malicious rumors were to get
in and build and dig and interest
capital as | am doing, they would
not have time for the expression of
malicious sentiments directed against
those who have succeeded because
they have taken a chance and have
plugged without intermission.
But enough of these two un-
pleasant themes | want to say that
Mrs. Wingfeld and myself greatly
enjoyed our sixteen days visit to
Chicago. New York, Washington and
other eastern cities, the best part of
the trip being the return to Reno.
There is 1i.tle interest in mining
in the east at present. People seem
to be sitting still after the turmoil
of the political campaign They,
however. are yitally interested in
shares that pay dividends or which
appreciate in value but they are not
taking the long chances they did in
the earlier days.
CAS- to Buekhorn, the property is
looking we'll. Conservatively esti-
mated, there IS $3.000,000 worth of
ore in sight. We are driving tun-
mel to connect with the mine work-
ings of the mine to convey the ore
to the ore bins Of the mill. On the
18th of December the tunnel was in
99S feet with 572 feet yet to go.
j "Owlng to the shortage of water,
the mill run at the Nevada Hills was
not SO strong this month as previous
/ ly, but that difficulty has now been
overcome. 1t is a great satisfaction
to me to note that the indebtedness
on the property has been reduced
from $4,000 to s125.00O, with
prospects OF it being entirely elimi-
mated and a reserve started within a
few months.
II cannot add anything to the re-
port we sent out recently regarding
the physical condition of the Gold
field Consolidated. 1t is my belief
that the mining industry in the state
of Nevada is on better basis and
possesses a more hopeful outlook
than at any previous time in the his
tory of the State"
