ZIMMERMAN IS
MUCH IMPRESSED
SAYS GOLDFIELD HAS PROVEN
AGREEABLE SURPRISE
TO HIM

George Wilkinson, lumberman
and capitalist of Ashland, Wis, is
a visitor to Goldfeld. He arrived in
camp about ten days ago and is max
ing an extended stay for the purpose
of inspecting the numerous properties
in which he is heavily interested, and
thoroughly familiarizing himself
with conditions throughout the dis
trict, in general.
Although this is Mr.. Wilkinson's
first visit to GOldfield, he has been
financially interested in the district
almost since it's discovery and, while
he lays no claim to being mining
man, he has kept himself well posted
in local developments and displays
unusual knowledge of the properties
of this district. Incidentally, Mr..
Wilkinson is one of the many in.
vestors throughout the United States
who made money by picking up"
Mohawk stock before it's sensational
rise in the early days.
"Goldfield," said Mr.. Wilkinson,
has certainly proven an exceeding
ly agreeable surprise to me. While
| have at all times kept pretty close
tab on conditions here, | had no
idea that there was any such ac-
tivity as l have observed since lily
arrival in camp ten days ago; it is
really astonishing.
Il am free to state that l have
been very favorably impressed with
prevailing conditions Since my ar
rival, | have spent great deal Of
time looking over the district and
visited the underground workings OF
numerous properties. My observa.
tiOns convince me that it will be
many years before Goldfield is con-
signed to the discard. During the
last few months l have increased by
holdings here and, furthermore, l
have added to them by investments
since my arrival l am we'll salts
fed with local conditions and l be-
lieve the outlook for the district is
exceedingly promising"

MACHINE DRILLS
SOON TO OPERATE
CON. SCHEDULED TO AR
RIVE MONDAY

BY April the management of the
Silver Pick Consolidated Mining
company will be in position to pros
ecute the development of the prop
erty more expediously than at any
time in it's best history, according
to General Superintendent Walter
S. Norris. BY that date hand steel,
which has been in use since opera
tions were originally inaugurated,
will have been replaced by motor
equipment in the shape of machine
drills.
Superintendent Norris states that
the two-stage compressor, an order
for which was placed by President
Zadig about a month ago, is sched-
uled to arrive on the ground not later
than next Monday. The compressor
will be capable of operating four IA
inch piston drills, but only two such
machines will be installed until more
can be used advantageously. The
two drills have already been pur-
chased locally and forty-horse-
power motor which will drive the
compressor, was received from San
Francisco about a week ago.
The work of installing the new
stationary pump, capable of lifting
120 gallons of water minute to the
surface, is now in progress on the
bottom or 500-foot level of the main
working shaft of the property. Su-

LIKELY TO COME
TO FRONT SOON
PLEASING CONDITIONS PREVAIL
IN VERNAL 2OO-FOOT LEVEL
DRIFT

Although the anticipated strike
has not yet materialized, there is
every condition present in the south
drift on the vein on the 20O-foot
level to indicate that the property of
the Vernal Mining company in the
Diamondfield section of the Goldfield
district will come to the front with
an important discovery in the near
future.
Superintendent Walter S. Norris
has for several days been expecting
the drift to reveal the downward
extension of the rich shoot of ore
that wa opened up with a winze to
depth of &C feet below the 100
foot level more than six months ago.
Three carloads of excellent ore were
extracted in sinking the winZe, the
values and the appearance of the
orebody improving as the work pro-
crosses. Therefore, Superintendent
Norris is hopeful of finding better
values in the shoot of ore on the
200-foot level For more than two
weeks conditions in the south drift
on the vein on the lower level have
been steadily improving and there
seems to be but little question that
a significant discovery will be made
by the working in the near future.

publicity in its summer literature.
The public IN general has been
laboring under the impression that
the Santa Fe company arranged
the side trip Tor tourists. but this
the company denies 10 a communi-
cation Of recent date, stating thai
it is giving the side trip all due
publicity in its folders and booklets
for the benefit Of the transporta-
tion companies who are conducting
these side trips.

On Liquor

The liquor question in Coliax
county is assuming quite an activi.
ty,.at least so in certain parts, ac-
cordiug TO information given out
by the county commissioners in
calling elections for the different
precincts wherein such elections
are to be held.
Miami, French, the French tract

much onxiety by all who are inter.

Record Breaking
Wheat And Other
Cereal Haryests

Nine hundred million bushels OF
wheat, almost half OF the average
worlds wheat production, and now
a record for the United States, is
the prospective total yield bi the
farms OF the country this year, the
department Of agriculture announc-
ed in its Jane crop report.
The enormous crop will be 1877, :
10000 bushels more than ever
was grown before in the United
States in any one year.
There also will be larger fields
OF oats and barley, probably sec
ond in size in the history OF the ma
tion.

Government Officials
Have Fancy Ideas
Would Employ 5000 Clerks When
300 Can Do The Work In /
Regional Reserve Bank.


Some astonishing revelations Of
official thought have been brought
out by conferences between chica-
20 bankers and the treasury de-
partment at Washington. That
branch Of the government recently
estimated that 5000 clerks would
be needed for the regional bank in
Chicago. The bankers declared
that 900 would be an ample sup
ply. Also, il was declared by Off
cials of the treasury department
that the chairman OF the board
should be paid salary .of sac, 600
to Sa5, 900, whereas the bankers
say that there are plenty of well
qualified men that can sbe had for
$500 avear.
While the Office is one OF consid-
erable dignity and responsibility,
the duties Of the chairman and Of
the other members Of the reserve
board will be simple. Inasmuch
as there are large banks in Chica-
60 with only 400 or 900 clerks, and
inasmuch as the functions Of these
banks are more complicated than
will be those Of the federal reserve
banks. whose duties are clearly de-
fined in the law. it would seem that
Washington has highly exagger-
ated idea OF the force necessary.
1t would be somewhat difficult,
too. to find building to house all
these servants Of the government.
The question is raised whether
this new banking system is to be
made a part OF a political machine.

dict Of accidental discharge Of the

A Beautiful Building.

Still, Mr.. Healey did not take the
public into his confidence. He kept
right on working away on his plans
whatever they were-and folks got
tired figuring on just what he did
purpose doing.
Then, one fine day, all Atlanta was
informed. Mr.. Healey, or rather the
Healey Investment Company, which
is about the same-announced that
the actual work Of erecting a huge
modern skyscrapcr would begin at
once.
Plans, which were prepared by
Morgan & Dillon and W. L. Down
ing. the associated architects, showed
a building the outward magnlncence
of which caused Atlanta to gasp with
establishment and pleasure.
This was to be SOME building!
1t was also announced that r. W.
Walker had the contract for putting
up the structure.
Tons of Steel Arrive.
Right away things got busy. Tons
upon tons of steel poured INTO the
Mace and the skeleton of Atlantas
latest slSyscraper began to stand out
against the sky The ratty- tat-tat OF
the electric riveter was heard ana the
shrill scream of the hosting engine
made things lively about the post
Office corner.
Then the stone, and the tiles, and
the sand. and the marble and other
materials. which were to go into the
body of the building arrived, ana as
the steel work began to be covered
from view the real beauty or the ex-
terior finish forced itself upon the
city-at least that portion OF the city
which found occasion to take q LOOK
AT Mr. Healeys splendid building.
Not long ago the high fence Wnlcn
surrounded the place, was removed
and then the perfect proportions oi
the great edifice were revealed.
Now. only a short time remains un-
til the tenants will begin moving IN
to the new building and the whole
structure will very soon be peehiVe
of real activity. ,,.
