DISTRICT OF WONDERS.
So Sajra Nevada Mining Han, SpeaS
4. in* of Goldfield.
4. J. Nelson f( Mountain City, a
promising district of Elko county, made
an investigation of the Goldfield district
as the representative of a number of
prominent mining men and had the fol
lowing to sny in an interview published
in the Keno Journal:
"The possibilities of tlint country are
siinplv wonderful. The new discoveries
have'in no way been overdrawn. They
are misunderstood, in a measure but
have not been overestimated.
"The idea that it is a rich man's coun
try exclusively is also erroneous. It is
a’i>oor man's district, fdo" not mean
the extremely poor, but the man with
limited capital. The opportunities for
men with a few hundred dollars down
there'are abundant. The gold ts at the
grass roots. They are simply sweeping
the surface and finding pay ditt in ti e
to; >il. This loose du-t yi< Id- fuOO to
$1000 to the ton. There is no telling
what will lie found when extensive pros
pecting is done. And the claims are
not all taken. It is true that a widi
scope of country is staked off, hut it i*
more than probable that the best dis
coveries remain yet to lie made.
"It is in this that opportunilies are
offered to the poor man or the man with
small means. If he has enough to g"
pr specting, he is likely to find some
thing that will pay and pay well. When
you find that the mere sweepings of the
surface of the earth pay as they do
there, you may realize how easy it. is to
treat the ore.
“It cannot he sfdd that there are a
halfdozen mines in the district yet.
They are mere prospects, and when it is
considered that they have made such
wonderful yields, then it is easy to con
clude that the possibilities are unlimited
for the district. The population is rap
idly increasing and will continue until
it will he one of the biggest mining
camps in the world.
"There are not many sales, compara
tively speaking. The property owners
are not inclined to selliu the first place
and in many instances they could not
sell if they’wonld. A large portion i f
the property is'under'lease and men do
not] like to buy unless they'can* get im
mediate possession, but there is no
wildcat busines-i'going on down there.
The sliarper who li,» been in the habit
at other'places of getting options on
mining property on tick and tying it up
for long terms fails in the Goldtielu
country. When you get to talking
about huying'options down there, you
are’immediately"asked to put up and
put up"]qitiekly. They will not even
wait the delay of the mails. They l'e
quire the would-be jmiviiasei u>
wires anil get the inoni v ijuiek. Ami
they wont think of leS' than $1000 as a
starter. 1 hey do not ih> tics because
they are afraid of their property not
panning out right, hut because they
know it is good'and they don’t have to
take any'cliances. No, sir, the^man who
expects to speculate on wind, will he
wonderfully„disappointcd.
“I do not think there is anything
overdone^ there, unless it he in the num
ber of common laborers w ho have gone
there prematurely. Men should not
take any chances in'going there broke.
Later on, when'the’general development
stage is reached, it will be alright f >r
this class, but until then it will be w» 11
for men to go prepared to pay their way.
“There is one thing that is overdone,
however, and that is stock-selling. Ev
ery kind of stock is on the market and
much of it has no foundation to it. The
brokers besiege one with flowery stories
as they do in all new mining camps, and
of course a great nu uber get caught.
It may all be good in time, hut the tinu
ia ho far distant that investors will get
poor results on tin get-riuh-ijuiek the
ory.
“Matty of the leases on property w ill
not. expire for at least a year. The av- ]
erage lease is made on the royalty plan,
the lessee paying from twenty-two and
one-half to twenty-five per cent of tin
gross earnings of the mine. When these
leases expire there will be a greatei
number of sales and greater develop-1
liient will also follow.
“I shall recommend to my people that
the district is all right and we ' ill prob
ably go to Goldfield within a week or so
and we will begin operations at once.
You may say that the possibilitit s of
that country are wonderful and by no
means overdrawn.”
