METHODIST PASTOR
IS TO LEAVE HERE
HAS CLEARED CHURCH OF DEBr
DURING RESIDENCE IN
GOLDFIELD

Rev. j.. l.. Collins will leave ID
morrow morning for his new charge
in Las Vegas, to which he was re-
Gently appointed by Bishop Adua
w. Leonard at the Methodist Episco-
pal conference of the Nevada mis-
sion, the first to be presided over
by Bishop Leonard.
Rev. Mr.. Collins this afternoon
requested the Tribune to express his
appreciation to the people of Gold
field for the manner in which they
have so splendidly assisted him in
discharging his duties as pastor of
the Goldfeld Methodist church.
In commenting ON the results
which have been accomplished dur
ing the period that he has had
charge of the local Methodist
church, Rev. Mr.. Collins said:
Through the magnificent loyalty of
my people and the noble response
of the citizens from time to time,
not only has the entire debt of the
church been wiped out, but all the
current expenses have been paid in
full"
During the time Mr.. Collins has
resided in Goldfield he has made
many friends outside his congrega-
ton and has fathered many enter
prises for the public good. He in
a~ugurated the movement for the con-
struction of the fence around the
GCldfield cemetery and started he
fund for the projected children's
playground and has always had the
best interests, not only of the
church of which he was pastor, but
of the entire community, at heart.
When he came to Goldtield the
church had a heavy burden of debt,
which has been cleared through his
individual efforts, while his various
other undertakings for civic ana
church improvement have been
equally successful.

FL DORADO CANYON
MINES PRODUCTIVE
GROUND THAT YIELDED GOLD
IN EARLY DAYS BEING
OPERATED

Eighty miles north of Needles,
and westward from the banks of
the Colorado river, there is in
progress one of the most notable
resurrections of a famous Z
ing camp long gone to seed that
has been recorded in many Yeas.
The Ell Dorado canyon, whose riches
once impelled a great stampede into
the southwest corner of Nevada, is
rapidly taxing a position well up
in the line of producing districts,
several mills are in operation and
a score of fortunes are already as
sured.
So quietly have the operations of
the past year been conducted that
the results of a recent investigation,
just completed, have amazed the
operators who were made acquaint-
ed with the facts and figures.
From this canyon, which xtends
westerly a distance of IL miles
from the Colorado river to the sum
NIT of a mountain range, there was
extracted, between 1874 and 1900,
more than $1,000, 900, yet there
are less than a dozen companies
concerning which any data is avail
able. With modern machinery, the
cyanide C and a modest in
vestment of capital, five or six of
the companies are producing more
than 100000 per month in gold,
with promise of doubling this out
put within a few months. While at
this time the companies are all
private enterprises, efforts will be
made shortly to list the shares of
some of them on the San Francisco
and New York stock exchanges.
Ben Speer, a San Francisco bust
ness man, made the first location
in the Ell Dorado canyon in 1870.
when he began work on the Rover
and Techatticup mines. Within a
few months after beginning opera
lions a mill was installed and in
1874 a shipment of bullion, worth
several hundred thousand dollars,
arrived in San Francisco and in
duced a rush into the region.
Later control passed to a cor
poration known as the Southwest
company which Melted profits of sew
eral million dollars. although The
ore of the district up to 1900 was
milled in arastras, the deepest work
ings did not exceed 200 feet and
all development and sinking was
accomplished by means of the hand
windlass.
Practically all values were found
close to the surface, and as the
various companies encountered the
sulphide zone and a flow of wafer
the undertakings were abandoned.
Seven of the properties, about 1896,
passed into the hands of Joseph
Wharton, a Philadelphia capitalist.
