IT SOUNDS BIG—AND IS BIG.
The Los Angeles Times has, in
a recent issue, a lull and interest
ing letter from Mr. W. T. Selleck,
a representative of that newspa
per, on Tonopah, Goldfield and
other camps adjacent. From his
letter we clip the following:
“In Goldfield. 26 miles south of
Tonopah, values are fully as great
as those of Tonopah with the dif
ference that the ores run light in
.silver, the values being nearly all
in gold. The Tonopah ores run
about three parts value in silver j
to two parts in gold, while the
Goldfield ores run fully nine parts'
gold to one part silver. Goldfield
is as yet but a city of tents, possi
bly a thousand people camped out
on the desert sands, and yet since
its discovery in 1903, several rich
shippers have been opened.
“Tonopah has today seven pro
ducing mines, Goldfield has three,
any one of which is thought to be
as good as Tonopab’s best.
"All this sounds big because it
is big. It sounded too big to the
writer until enough investigation
was made to prove its truth.”
From the figures which Mr. Sel
leck gives elsewhere in his article
of the depth of the Combination
and January shafts, as well as from
the fact that he limits Goldfield’s
producing mines to three, it is evi
dent that he wrote his article some
weeks ago. Were he to come here
today he would write: “All this
sounds big, but the realities are a
great deal bigger.” Counting
leases there are at least a dozen
properties in Goldfield producing
shipping ore. and the bonanza ore
on the Jumbo has been found since
his visit. Were he to see Attorney
Yermilyea chiseling off $3,000
worth of ore in an afternoon—
were he to see a handful of this;
ore crushed and panned till it left
the bottom of the pan covered
with free gold, he would say:
“What I had heard of Goldfield
sounded big, but I was not pre
pared to see all this.”
Many mining men who, like Mr.
Selleck, doubt the story of Gold
field’s riches, would say: “At any
rate I don’t care for such rich ore;
a big body of low grade ore would
suit me better.”
Yerv well. Goldfield is again
there with the goods. The Jumbo,
January, Combination, Florence,
Great Bend and others have not
only high grade ore in large bod
ies, but they have ledges, from 5
to 72 feet in width, of mill ore
that will go from $40 to $60. It is
from the milling 01 e that Gold
field’s greatest wealth will come,
but we see no reason to ignore its
bonanza ore, because “people on
the outside won’t believe it.”
There are a number of men in
Goldfield who will become rich
because outsiders wouldn’t believe
and buy their properties when it
was offered for a song.
How They Hove.
Speaking of the way in which the peo
ple of this country transplant themselves
recalls what a former Colorado miner
told a News reporter a couple of days
ago.
In 1889 there were 25 miners working
in the Old Laut tunnel at Ouray, Col.
Of that band of miners five of them are
now located in Goldfield. They are
William Bell, ex-marshal of Victor, Col.,
who is leasing; John Buckley, who is
driving the mail stage between Goldfield
and Tonopah; J. C. Trimble, who is
leasing, and Frank Smith and Thomas
Burns, who are mining.
These people have frequently met and
recounted old-time days iu the Old Laut.
and while none are wealthy they are
banking their all on striking it iu this
bonanza camp.
