| HOME FROM GOLDFIELD
Charles R. Kmi Istanu to Rom u<
Itputt Stories ef Wealth.
Mr. Charles E. Knox returned last
Evening from Coldfield and Tonopah,
having visited those mining camps for
the purpose of 1< Miking over opportuni
ties in the way of leases of interests, says
the Reno Journal. Mr. Knox states
that he visited every mine and prospect
hole within a radius of five miles around
the different camps ami that were he to
tell exactly the conditions he found ex
isting the tejiofter would simply inquire
as to where he found the pi|**. How
ever, this is what Mr. Knox says:
“Through the courtesy of the lessees 1
visited all the principal mines of Cold
field, notably the Jumbo, St. Ives,
Florence, Vernal Eltension, January,
£|>tc.,and were I to outline to you the
apparent wealth of some of these claims
it would be almost beyond belief.
“Mr. Roy Richard of the Richard A
Company lease, scraped from the ledge
of their lease, about a handful of the
ledge matter and after washing this
hmount it was found that it contained
from one to two dollars in gold. This,
of course, was from a particularly rich
jiortion of the vein, but the entire ledge
will average well into the hundreds of
dollars ]ier ton. On the No. 11 Jumbo
lease, the Vefmilyea A Bartlett claim,
they were placing most of the ore in oil
bans, owing to the Immense values. It
Was on this lease that a portion of the
bilge assayed $201,000 to the ton.
“in most mining camps tne propor
lion of those who strike the ore bodies is
Very small generally compared to those
who fail, hut In Goldfield, there are hut
few of the ieasers that haVe not found
ore, and most of them good ore on their
Haims. Owing to the great values near
Hie surface and the short time for work
ing under their leases; only the fire near
the surface is being taken out, but the
ledges are found td continite with depth
iind to contain good values, some of
thbm remarkable. I found Steve Curry
drilling away in the bottom of a shaft
as though each stroke would bring the
ledge and am (dad to Bay that the pros
pects were very favorable for the early
realization of his hopes. Goldfield is
ho doubt a permanent camp, and from
till present prospects will he another of
the world’s greatest gold producers.
“I have every cohfidence in Goldfield
tvnd Tonopah and also believe that Dia
hiondfield will come to the fore in a
Very short time for they have found a
ledge there carrying values around the
lour hundred mark, with good prospects
V>! striking the ledge "n othel- claims,
hotably the Daisy. The opportunities
here, I believe, warrant artyone who is
Willing to work and enditrb a lew dis
fcomforts, casting their lot in that coun
try, and it is my present intention to
Veturn there within the next few weeks.”
RICHEST IiTtHE WORLD
James A. Donovan Goes to Reno with
Glowing Tale of Camp’s Wealth.
James A, Donovan, until a short time
Ugo one of Reno's best known residents,
returned last evening from his new home
at Goldfield, says the Reno Journal. He
is here on a brief but important business
trip and will remain only a few days.
Mr. Donovan now has one of the best
leases in the new bonanza camp. It is on
the Oombintttion, one of the few leases
on that rich property. It runs until
July 21, 1905. Mr. Donovan is already
developing the property. With him is
associated George S. Nixon of Winne
mucca, Janies Wicks and Edward
Wausau.
“You can't tell all the truth about
Goldfield,” said Mr. Donovan last even
ing. “There is nothing too good that
can be said in its favor. It’s the richest
Camp on the face of the earth and its
taerits have not yet become known
1 here is no doubt iu my mind but what
Goldfield is going to be a greater camp
than Virgiuia City in its palmiest dnys.
This is not only my opinion, but the
opinion of men who were on the Corn
stock.
“I have been in Colorado's best mining
camps, but I can truthfully say that
Goldfield has them all beaten.
"As an illustration of what kind of
mines we .have in Goldfield: one year ago
a one-tenth interest of the Combination
was sold for SI; seven months ago that
mine sold for $75,000 and three months
later the new owuers had taken out more
than enough money to pay for their prop
erty. Gold continues to pour from the
mine. This is just an example.
4 One thing I wish to deny is the slan
der published over the signature of a cor
respondent in the Journal last week. It
was in regard to the Gulls and Gears
property. Geyoud owning a few shares
of stock in that company, I am in no
Way connected with it, but I do know
thnt it is one of the most promising prop
erties in the camp.
"The company lias assays from its
properties which will go all the way from
C2 cents to $1,(40 per ton. Not one share
of stock is for sale at any price.
"Superintendent R. J. Watson, for
merly of Reno, now has a force of three
shifts at work. Mr. Watson is a conserv
ative mining man. Yet he is authority
for the statement that Goldfield will even
be a better camp than Dawson in its best
days.”
In Jumbo Town.
J. G. Hawley has recently purchased
the Robert White Saloon and has a mo
nopoly of that business.
Ferd Wittine has bought Albert Wil
sons’ restaurant and is doing a good

There are two yards busy making

Steve Currie will soon begin work on
