A LUCKY LESSEE RETURNS
f • -
Bringing Good Nows of tho Country’s
Interest in Goldfield.
John Jones, one of the lessees who is
making a fortune out of the January, has
returned from a trip of several weeks,
during which he visited Salt Lake, Den
ver, Cleveland, New York ' ity, Spokane
and various other cities. He reports that
the interest in GoM field is general
throughout the country and the senti
ment in Ohio is especially favorable.
While away Mr. Jones formed a part
nership and ha? opened offices in the
Downing Building, New York City, un
der the firm name of Jones, O’Bryan &
Co. This firm has incorporated the Jones
Membership company for the purpose of
securing desirable property in this sec
tion.
“ Our Ungodly Neighbors ” ?
The Ton'»pah Miner says: “ Bev.
Father Gleeson, who labored assiduously
but unsuccessfully for many years for
the spiritual regeneration of Bodie, and
who is now trying to cultivate the Lord’s
vineyard in and around Goldfield, speut
two or three days in Tonopah this week,
resting from his arduous and unproduc
tive labors. The Father, who is some
. tbii^r of an optimist, expresses the hope
that he may, figuratively speaking, even
tually yank Goldfield up onto the high
spiritual plateau now occupied by Touo
pah. During his stay in the metropolis
Father Gleeson visited the camp of Dr.
White Wcdf and he returned to Gold
field yesterday, much refreshed. The
Father is a practical Christian and a very
popular gentleniaji and The Miner
wishes him success in his self-sacrificing
efforts to regenerate our ungodly neigh
bors.”
This Is the Way We Grow.

A Poet Prospector.
Joseph Ward, wjo makes his head
quarters at Lone Tine, Calif., was in
Goldfield for a few days this week, l ie
has been prospecting in the southern
country all winter and reports that 75
miles south he found a section where the
formation looks very similar to that of
this camp. In 1901 he prospected in this
neighborhood, but getting very Mttle
values from the surface, he turned it
down as no good. Mr. Ward is a poet
and song writer, and during his winter’s
wanderings he has filled a book with
original poems, songs an l waltzes which
he has comprised. One of Ins piem-*,
“The Great Mohave,” appears elsewhere
in this issue.
Well Known Renolte Has Faith.
>am J. Watson, formerly of the Over
land hotel, ho left here some time ago
for Touopah and Goldfield, returned
yesterday. He "ill probably remain here
a few weeks before returning.
Mr. Watson is much pleased with the
two bonanza camps. The towns, he
states, are not as lively as they will be
within the next few weeks. However,
considerable work is being done.
Mr. Watson has great confidence in
the future of the mines in that section of
Nevada. It is reported that he has be
come interested in a number of proper
ties since leaving Reno.—State Journal,
Marriage of “Diamondfield Jack.”
"Diamondfield Jack” Davis, in whose
honor the town of Dium mdfiehl was
named, was married in Touopah last
week Wednesday evening to Mrs. Min
nie Williams. The carem my was per
formed by Judge Lindsay, after which a
bountiful supper was enjoyed by the
guests at the Merchants’ Hotel. Mr. and
Mrs. Davis are now at their new home in
Diamondfield.
Was Lost on the Desert.
Carl Stoddard, a mining eugiueer of
Touopah, was in town Wednesday on his
way to Reno, says the Garduerville Rec
ord Courier. Mr. Stoddard came the
entire distance by private conveyance
and being unfamiliar with the road got
lost in the desert and for two days wan
dered about without food or shelter.
Fortunately he was found by a sheep
lierder, who put him on the right road.
I
THE GREAT MOHAVE.
[Written for The News by Joseph Ward.)
I’ll away to the desert,
To the hot burning desert
Where the sun shines brightly all the day.
And will leave this winter scene,
With its white and icy queen,
For the warm and sunny desert, far away.
Oh, the desert land to see,
Oh, the desert land for me,
Where the cold and snows of winter are
unknown;
Where the ground is warm and dry,
And so bright and bloo the sky,
With the silver orb of daylight on his
throne.
And the stars, like brilliant lights.
Flitter in the«e wondrous nights
On the great Mohave desert, sad and
gray;
Silently may we intrude,
In the. yucca’s solitude.
With its weird and fascinating stillness
of the day.
Where the gieat West wind it blows,
Where the Devil’s playground grows,
In a vast and mighty maelstrom of the
air;
Where the sand is ten miles high,
Fairly darkening the sky.
And it's death to man or beast who ven
tures there.
So serene the moon at night
Weaves her magic mantle bright.
O'er the tie ert where the ghostly yuccas
stand;
With their sad aud (tensive arms
Strange and rare the desert’s charms,
With its dry volcanic mount tins and its
sand. /
Where the springs are far apart,
Hid within its stony heart,
Anti the tawny, barren ranges in the vast
black volcanic rents they hide,
There where nature’s forces died
In those days of mountain bnildiug in
the past.
Where she hid her veins of gold,
Which her secret portals hold,
But thediorite and porphyry reveals
Aud the silver and the lead,
In their heavy limestone bed.
The silurian and Cambrian conceals.
Oh, the charm of the desert,
To prospect on the desert,
Where to find the float is easy in our line; j
With our pork and beans we bake
Heavy slapjacks in the wake
As a sinker with our coffee when we
dine.
Where the wind it never dies.
And the horse manure it flies
In our frying-pan and coffee pot so g iy
But such things we do not mind —
If we’re only sure to find
The leads we are after with the pay.
If there’s water in the tank,
At the dry and rocky bank,
Tho’ its flavored with a dead coyote too;
Little thought we give or care
For though rich, it is not rare,
And you bet we’re glad to get it, too.
Oh, Mohave desert land,
With the mirage for thy wand,
We must leave you when the summer
sun is king;
To the mountains we will go,
Near the shady trees and snow,
Then of other lands aud seasons we will i
sing.
WILLIAMS’ MARKET LETTER
•This week has been the banner week
for Goldfield stocks and our next door
neighbor (Tonopah) will have to loojf out
for her laurels as this week we came near
passing her in the number of shares sold
Goldfield Mining company’s stock at
31.00 is hard to get even at that price
and the wise ones are holding for a high
er figure.
Red Top is selling fast at thirty and
the first block of treasury stock will soon
be gone.
A new company, the Fortuua entered
the field this week. They own three
claims on one of which fair surface show
ing was made. They have placed a
block of their stock on the market for ten
cents a 6hare and ail moneys received to ;
be used for development purposes only, j
No salaried officers and a careful devel
meut of their property will result.
The Adams is a seller and we have
heard of a liberal offer being made for a
block of one hundred tnousand shares at
a cash price very near the price quoted
in our letter. This is a safe indication
to the small investor that this stock is
worth every cent that it is offered at.
The strike of auother lessee on the
Saint Ives is good uews and knocks the
theorist out who says that values will be
found only where two dykes come to
gether. This dyke has shown values in
three places for a distance of 1200 feet.
Another good strike by lessees on the
J umbo was made and the values run up
in the hundreds.
If you readers would oniv realize how
rich our mines nre turning out to be and
that you have the same cliauces to get in
on other good prospecfs that have been
incorporated, yon would not hesitate
long in securing some of the following at
the prices quoted:
Goldfield Mining Co.81.00
Bed Top Mining Co.40
Goldfield Water M. A M. Co.25

trip to Salt Lake City he was inter
