OOIDWIN'B WBBKLY, 15, liable to suspicion of curiosity. He is a lady-like fellow anyway in more ways than this. Why not "Ask the man?" & & Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Savage of Goldfleld came mto town the iirst of the week on their way to Ely, Nevada.

It will apply as well here as there: 'Tis here In Gotham that we love to shine, And cut our rapid entertainment capers; Wo love to dance, to frolic and to dine, And read about our doings In the papers. Although we sniff and say: "How very coarse," j And talk of "reptile journals" without ceasing," 1 Unmentloned would provoke unending source I Of mortifying tears and woe unceasing. w w w Making A Monkey Of Midas. A Tale From the Intemperate Zone. (By T. G.) Goldfleld, Nev., Nov. 6, 1906. On an average, every five men out of ten in this town have got Mr. Midas skinned forty ways from the Jack. Everybody here isn't rich, but so many of every class have struck a bonanza that it gives their friends a new lease of life, and it is easier for a man to get a grub stake if he means business than it is for him to get a porterhouse after a twenty-mile walk in a city, no matter upon what terms he happens to be with the pro prietors of the cafes he connects with. Speaking of cafes, a real restaurant man would be a unique effect in this spectacular crater so full of gold, but which, so far as the eye can see, is nothing but a stretch of rolling hills, dap pled with sage, and always smothered in a whirl wind of tawny dust. A volume could be written of the restaurants alone. The word "restaurant" i used advisedly. In the "Mocha," for instance, the lunch counter slopes toward the guests so that in case of a sud den spill, the waiters and the edibles behind the bar are entirely protected, and nothing is drench ed but the tenderfoot in front. There is another restaurant called the "Palm," and that is the end of the limit. Most people go there In the evening for the music alone, and if they don't, they should, because that is the best they get. If you order uhicken, you get one that was killed on Sherman's march to the sea, one which has been preserved ever since that time, but hard ly well preserved. No matter how painful, it is best to take min eral water in these restaurants, as most people consider it easier to pay 50 cents a bottle for this rather than have their friends' contribute at the finish to the plentiful coffers of the mortician. There are on an average 150 people entering Goldfleld every day and notwithstanding some pri vations, Including the postponement of many a bath, the majority like the place, for If they have the stuff in them, they quickly forget the hard ships, for they are so busy that they haven't time to think of them. Of the average number of people who come to town each day, say one hundred and fifty, sev-enty-flve of them immediately get work in the mines. Fifty more have enough to get along un til they get something to do, but the other twenty-five come absolutely broke, and many of the latter bring wives and children, with the expec tation, after reading lurid newspaper accounts, that gold is to be picked up in the streets. One instance alone will illustrate this. I was talking to a man yesterday who asked if I knew of a room cheaper than $2.50 a day. He said ho was here with his wife and two children and did not know what he would do unless he could get cheaper accommodations at once, as at the rate above mentioned he could not last four days lon ger and eat. But the majority of people who arrive are more than satisfied. They cannot help but be. This is probably the liveliest mining camp the world has seen since the Comstock days, and it is simply impossible to describe the ceaseless rush which endures here day and night. The novelty of the sight alone is worth a trip to this marvel ous camp, and for those who hail from Utah there is a profound rest, in the peace of mind where a man can live in a place knowing ha doesn't have to wake up every morning to look at a picture of Joe Smith, and mix In the muddy politics that in fest our "valleys of the mountains." We heard down here that you had a little windstorm in Salt Lake the other day, that aver aged sixty miles dfn hour. When the wind In this camp drops to that, we consider it a calm day $F3UmJ$E SlMljSLjmJ Camp in the World Hundreds have made fortunes there during the past year, and the development of the camp has just commenced. Remember the Comstock Goldfleld will equal this great bonanza. The production for October was over $3,000,000. Three Million Dol lars.
