From the criticisms of Judge
Parker's speech of acceptance
published in some of the Nevada
Republican papers it might be
inferred that they are aggrieved
because he did not refuse the
nomination.
Goldfield is to be congratulated
0,1 the settlement of the litigation
involving some of the leading
properties of this district. It was
feared for a time thatioperations
on these rich properties might be
delayed to some extent but
happily agreements have been
reached and there will be no resort
to the courts.
The American Mining Congress
held at Portland, Oregon, this
week attracted mining men of
prominence from Europe as v ell
as ftoin all mining sections of the
United States. Some of the ablest
statesmen in the country were
present and addressed the con
vention on important matters re
lating to mining legislation
Burros have been added to the
transportation facilities at the
World’s Fair. The burros can
make many short cuts, which are
impossible for the Intramural, the
toiler chairs and jinrickshas.
Some enterprising Goldfielditecan
make 4 foreign# and ear}n. the ever
lasting gratitude of the community
by gathering up all the loose “ca
naries” in town and sending them
to the World’s Fair—or %n,y other
old place, for that matter.
The greatest present need of
Goldfield is protection from fire.
This has been said before and is
therefore an old story but never
theless it cannot be strongly reit
erated. It is a matter to w hich the
.lousiness men of the town must
' attention sooner
pr later and every day of delay
but adds to what is a very obvious
danger. A fire would be nn in
calculable set back to the growth
of the town and the chances of
one should, be as far as possible
^educed to a minimum. How this
protection from fire can best be
secured is a problem which can
only be solved after full discussion
and to this end the columns of
The News are open to those
washing to offer suggestions in
this regard, though c°niniunica
tions must be in the briefest form
possible owing to our space being
limited.
Says the Carson Appeal: “If the
mining boom that has. hit Nevada
keepsongrowing it will be time to
ejemonetize gold because of its
abundance.
We.bqpe in,the near ititure to be
able.to write as follgvvsconcerning
the camp. ‘Yesterday Bill Hicklin
game into the office and laid down
a pound pugget for a year’s sub
scription to the paper. He hadn’t
anyt^jng smaller, althpugh he
Ipokedt over the nuggets in his
-^agqn fqr over an hour. A man
who would spend that much time
tfying tq.find the smallest nugget
he has,tq pay for a mining boomer
ljke the Aippea}, seems pretty small
potatoes, and. we threw the stuff
qut of the window and struck the
paper off his exchange list. We
had just received a five-pound
pugget from Tom Jenkens for two
hundred, visiting cards for his
wife, the coming society leader,
and.felt mean.’ ”

GOLDFIELD DAZED THEN
C*ap Om of tko Most RemorKoklo is
World’s IHtfigs.
E. K. MrGtllisnl and Charles Snell,
who have lwen for two months alternat
ing tie tween the mines anti prosjsrts at
Coldfield, Nev., and who, (hiring their
apprenticeship among the gold-bearing
ledges, ting not a'.little wealth from the
Jumtio, where they fonml employment,
are hack in town, says the Salt Lake
Tribone. The conditions over there, as
ilepictcil hv them, are almost such as to
,laze. In the Jumtio, at a depth of 150
feet, the ledge reveals a width of 18 feet
tietween walls, with a streak averaging
$1304 gold jkt ton. while 17 feet of the
rock w ill average $23. On the 30-foot
level in ti e same ledge ti feet of ore mar
keted on controls ^showing from $300 to
$tiou per ton, while in a winze below
this level the values reached $700. At a
depth of HO feet the ’ledge^had widened
out to 10_. et,*and at*1.30 feet to 18 feet
lietween walls. The liidge & Curtis
lease on[thelJumbo'_has'_been productive
of ores of the value of $125,000, say the
gentlemen, during the past two months,
their sales agent at the smelter none
other than B. T. Haywood. Bowes &
Kernick took from a hole 12 feet long,
8 feet deep and 4 feet wide $30,000, one
sack bringing $1700, while the Vermil
vea lease. 200 feet south, has been pro
ductive of $231,000, some of the cans in
which the ore was forwarded being sol
dered to prevent loss. The gentlemen
are very enthusiastic over the camp, and
characterize it as one of the greatest, at
eorres[>ondi (^development,’eve rediscov
ered.
KEITH WAS ASTOUNDED
Wonderfully impressed win snow
ing atGoldfield.
The Salt lake pliers print interviews
with Ilnvid Keith, the president of the
great Silver King mine, in which he tells
of his recent inspection of the minvs of
(ioldtield and Tonopali. lie says that
the development at these bonanza
camps are the greatest since the palmy
days of the Comstoek.
“At tioldtield,” said Mr. Keith, “the
situation was indeed panoramic, and yet
in some of the richest rock there is notli
[ ing to indicate the presence of gold, un
less it he the gravity of the metal itself.
Pannings from a streak of talc occurring
lens-like in the Jumbo mine, showed nl)
per cent gold, the same rich streaks oc
curring in the January, from w hich Zeb
Kendall of Spritigville and his associates
are digging out a fortune. The Combi
nation is another phenomenal proposi
tion, w hile the lied Top shows very high
grade ore in hunches and in w hat ap
pears to he an extension of the Jumbo
i-ledge. The achievements made in so
I short a time are phenomenal.
“The all-rail outlet between Tonopah
and S.slaville cannot but stimulate the
growth of the region, although its equip
ment with rolling stock is yet incom
plete, while the wealth already exposed
foretells a meet pquilous camp.”
Rcddrts Not Exaggerated;.
They come and go ami everyone be
comes a booster and spreads the tidings
of Goldfield’s greatness. This is from
the Dayton Advocate:
“Prof. John E. Bray, of Reno, was in
! Dayton, Sunday, on his way home from
a visit to Tonopah and Goldfield, lie
expresses himself as delighted with the
mining outlook in Nye and Ksmeraljla
counties. He also stated that he
thought the new camp of Columbia
would come to the front rapidly. As
for Tonopah and’Goldfield, he admitted
that they were far ahead of his ex lacta
tions, and said the nqwspaiaT'reports of
the mines there were weH'supp1 fted by
the facts.”
Route for the Railroad.
According to the Tonopah Bonanza
there have l>cen several preliminary sur
veys made for the extension of the To
nopali railroad to Goldlield. That which
w ill most probably he accepted, will he
up Mineral street out to the Indiana To
nopah, wherq the road will swing off
southeast along the Ralston Valley to
Diamondfietyl and oh to Goldfield.
Richest Ever Known.
Dr. Ruljson and Attorney Jamqs T.
Bovd arrived from Goldfield last eve
ning: after spending a couple of. weeks
in the great camp. They have located
several minand say that too much
cannot l>e said of.the camp as it is with
out a doubt the richest gold field the
world has ever known.—Reno Journal.

This fact is well-known to druggists
everywhere, ambnine out of ten wilj give
their customers this preparation when
the best is asked for. Mr. Obe Witmer,
a prominent druggist of Joplin, Mo., in a

is nothing on the market in. the way of
patent medicine which equals Chamber
