WILLIAMS’ MARKET LETTER
This week has seen a great number of
people of prominence coming into the
camp for invesliment and there are num
erous inquries coming in every day for
Goidfield stocks. Inside of six months
Goldfield stocks that are now selling so
cheaply will be at a premium and hard to
secure except at a high figure.
The Red Top stock has been the most
active this week, several thousand shares
having been sold to eastern parties who
are purchasing heavily. The lessees are
now down 50 feet and are crosscutting to
strike the ledge. The company’s shaft
is down 18 feet and still in ore.
Goldfield Mining company’s stock has
reached the $1.00 mark and not much of
it to be had at that price. The enormous
output for the number of men working
and the length of time the lessees have
worked have naturally caused this stock
to rise.
The W ater company received their re
sevoir tanks a few days ago and are erect
ing them on the summit of the hill. The
system is becoming more complete every
day, and will soon t e bringing in a good
revenue.
Tbe Vindicator Mining company are
doing splendid development work on
their group of claims and the stock hold
ers of this company have cause to con
gratulate themselves in having such men
at the head. All the money received is
going into the ground in actual develop
ment. The stock holders can rest assur
ed that their money is being expended iu
the most economical manner and along
lines of the most approved mining meth
ods.
The Combination ore at the bottom of
the shaft is richer than ever and demoM
strates conclusively that the ore increases
in value with depth in Goldfield. This is
good news and one that calls forth new
vigor and encouragement to every claim
holder.
We desire to state that we were on the
grouud before the town of Goldfield was
in existence and we are prepared to give
reliable information regarding the mines
and mining properties throughout the
entire district.

field stocks:

Why Express Rates are High.
In the probings of the Texas officials,
who have been in San Francisco investi
gating the revenue and expenses of Wells,
Fargo & Co., the fact was developes in a
cross-examination that Wells,Fargo & Co
in 1903 made a deal with the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company by which it
got a renewal for thirteen years of the ex
clusive express privileges on the South
ern Pacific lines. For this privilege the
Express Company paid the railroad a bo
nus of a million dollars, including $750,
t) 0 of Express Company stock, and
agreed to give it 40 per cent of its annn
al gross earnings. The Texas authori
ties are endeavoring to put into effect the
new Railroad Commission tariff in that
state reducing the rates of express com
panies betweep 9 and 10 per cent.—Eu

Jim Smith’s Gems.
Pay as you go, but be sure you go.
A penny pinched often means an op
portunity lost.
The memory of some men seems to be
so short that they forget they are honest.

Many a man’s reputation for wisdom is
hopelessly shattered after he opens his
mouth.
Quit finding so much fault with the
poor miser. He is only accumulating
wealth for other people to spend.
