GOLDFIELD’S PRODUCT.
$7M,0M Seat to Salt Uk« Smelters
la Six Months.
V. I*. Strong', tin- mining engineer,
who in in Salt Lake on a business trip,
lells the Tribune that tin* best evidence
of Goldfield's merit as a camp of gold. is
that during the past six months it has
produced, from the grass roots, practi
cally, gold bearing ores for which the
consignors have received no less than
$700,000 without reference to the mill
ing classes that have la*en either piled
upon the dump or left standing in the
mine pending equipment with w hich to
mince them.
When a person is permitted to see a
check in the sum of $tio,000 in payment
, for eighty tons of ore, another of $50,000
> in iKiyment for seventy-five tons, and
another of $50,000 in payment for a sin
gle carload, lie must lie convinced of the
presence of a class of wealth on which
great camps are founded, added Mr.
Strange. Ofthctireut llcnd group, on
which he has just acquired an option
and in which he expects to interest local
taiV’/it. Mr. Strange says he has liven
sparring fc» it for three months, or ever
since he, with Hob Walker and others,
pitched his tent in those diggin's. Of
the merits of the property he has no
doubt whatever and to further demon
strate them he wlil inaugurate syste
matic work the last of the present week.
While a great many are catering to
the needs of the camp at this time,
there is room for more said Mr. Strange,
room especially for a class that is pre
pared to improve ujmui that already
present and that is capable of g>iing the
pioneer one or two Iwttcr,
He expects to see a very populous
camp in the locality as wages are above
the average with everything correspond
ing with them. For his day’s labor the
miner is paid $4, while the carpenter re
ceives from $0.50 to $7 with hut a lim
ited number to be had at those figures.
That a greater ntimlier of buildings are
not under active construction at present
js that material with which to build them
can not he obtained. The orders for
lumber, Indeed, are three months ahead
of the supply.
93,000,000 ON DUMPS
Enormous Amount of Tonopah Ore
Awaiting Shipment.
iflanager {frank Kpith of thy senior
Tonopah m\ne, was ip fcsalt I,ake last
week on a visit, In an interview in the
Salt I,aky Tribune >{r. Kyith sfated that
fn an effort to adyqui tefy equip and to
get thy stupendous wealth ol Tonoj)ah
prys npw at the surface in motion, the
management of the new line of railway
between the camp and its connection
with the C\ is pounding the man
ufacturer of railway equipment to the
\frn\t. The miner, indeed, is no more
yager than is the crowd hy which the
putlet was constructed, to see this, and
each should sey liyj ambition gratified
within the next ISO days. While the
mine owners at camp are confining the
vampaign underground to exploratory
Work at'this time, it is estimated by Mr.
Keidi that awaiting shipment on the
dumps and at the loading stations is no
Ijsss than £6,600 tons of ore, of'a value
approximating $.‘1,000,000. Of this the
Tonopah company alone has 40,000 tons,
said he, the remainder divided among
the neighbors. With exceptions these
pres at thy surface are what is charac
terized at camp as syeond-class, the av
erage ruling at $00, perhaps, although
$2QQ or $3b0 or $500 rock may he found
dh any of the dumps. ' 1
EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS.
|etunt4 Renoites Have Good Words
fpr Goldfield.
J, Leopold, a Jteno business man |
wl|A-recently visited Goldfield, lias re- ;
turned and the Gazette reports- him as
shying: '
'•'‘Goldfield exceeds all expectations
and all the'stortes’ that have-.been re
lated about'it. -She'is truly a wonder
and I expect to see ld-V tAirpnss the fa- j
moils old Comstock in richness. Her I
mines are yielding-ore, the richness of
Vtliich is almofct beyond belief. Why,
from the Jumbo one can select a few
small bits of ore- and by crushing it can’ '
extract six or seyen dollars worth of"ore.
l^he yield is simply wonderful. •
The town of Goldfield is growing, too,
and by next May I firmly bblieve that j
it will contain ten --thousand people.
Qoldfield'ft ‘.’it.” -Tnnojiah is a wonder-1
Ad gamp, but her mines and claims are )
Held mostly by great companies and the
smaller ones ary not being worked very
muph now, but over at Goldfield- condi
tions are different. There tlie mines
are held by prospectors and every claim
that can lie is being developed. • every
thing is on the boom, and a great growth
for the cgn\n is assured.
Another Sampling WorHs.
The Ifeno Journal says: Fyoiti the
present Indications this city will soon
have another Rumpling works, which
pill eiupfoy a large pumlier of men and
U’oyH the ores of the Goldfield and To

ESMERALDA COAL
■•port Which Was Recently Made
by J. E. Spnrr.
The fniliminit if* from a re|*irt by .1.
K. Spurr, of the I'nitol States tienlogi
«-sil Siiwy, on ■‘('•ml in Nevada." Mr.
Sjairr rei*cntly \i-it«< 1 the coal bods at
tin' north i'IhI of tin Silver Pink range,
in Esmeralda county, south of the road
lietween Silver Peak ami (’amlelnria,
where, as he ftutw, coal IhhIs oeeur in
tertiary formations. These he ilcserilH-s
in a |«|ht |iiihlislnil in Bulletin No.
■”.i, issued by the l icnlogical Survey,
and which, liecansc of the scarcity ami
high price of fuel in Nevaila. is a matter
of niiieli interest to the inhabitants of
this state.
i This coal is saitl to have liven disoov
ereil l»y William (irozenger, of Cande
laria. in lHtKt, ami the seams are now
continuously locateil. The chief seams
are four in nnnilier, ami some of them
extend for a ilistance of tl.lHH) or 4.0tsi
| feet in outcrops that treml in a north
westerly ami southeasterly ilirection.
Mr. timzenger has classified the veins
counting from the top, as the first, sec
ond, third, ami fourth veins. The dis
tance between the first and second veins
jierjiendieiilarly is estimated by him to
lie ISO feet, lietween the sei'ond and
third, TO feet, and lietween the third and
fourth 130 feet. The uppermost vein,
No. 1, seems to Ik1 relatively poor and
as ex|iosed in outcrop, of little value.
Vein No. L* is in coal shales and is sev
eral feet thick. The vein contains con
siderable slate fiarting or hone.
Vein No, 3, which is also in the coal
shale, is of better quality and thicker than
I No. 2. No, 4 shows t> to S feet of coal
of much better quality than the upper
veins. Some of this coal has ii brilliant
lustre, while the coal of the other veins
j is dull in color. It is used as a forge
coal by Mr. Uroxenger and affords a
coke. The coal contains a smaller per
cent of ash than that of the upper
veins,
These prospects have been bonded
several times. The chief prospecting
has been on the upper veins, and the
coal developed lias been so light in na
ture and so full of ash that prospecting
I has been rcfieatpdly abandoned. It
seems, however, that the lowest vein
has been somew hat neglected and possi
bly this may lie found in the future to
be available as fuel. The outcrop of
this vein is limited and broken near the
fault, but its underground extent must
be great. Inasmuch as the beds under
lying this seam are not exposed op ac
count of the fault, it »s not impossible
that still other seams may occur be
neath it.
The numerous mining enterprises
which have been recently developed in
this region, where there is no water
power, little wood supply, and only ex
pensive transportalion, make even these
coal beds, which are undoubtedly poor
in quality, important. Since they all
contain a large percentage of volatile
matter, the gas in them might be sen
erateil ami profitably used for fuel.
Nothing.so the Market Equal to Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrbeea Remedy.
This fact is well-known to druggists
everywhere, ami nine ont of ten will give
their customers I his preparation when
the best is asked for. Mr. Obe Witmer,
a prominent druggist of Joplin, Mo., in a
circular to liis customers says: “There
is nothing on ike market in the way of
patent medicine which equals Chamber
lain’s Cjlic, Cholera and diarrhoea Ttem
edy fur bowel complaints. AVe sell end
