A few lines from me will doubtless lie
acceptable and also of interest to those
who contemplate a trip to the gold tields
of Nevada.
Much has been written about the won
dertul resources of the mining camps, a
great deal by men wiio have everything
to gain and nothing to lose, and by
others w ho struck the camp early, got
in on the ground Ho. >r and were success
ful either in striking it rich or selling
out to those who iiad the ready com
and were carried away by the prevailing
excitement. It's the same old story, one
hears only of the successful men and the
good mines. The investments of hund
reds of thousands of dollars in the pur
chase of worthless ground, the sinking
• it deep slialts and the top equipments
in many cases without an assay to show
fur the investment—these are passed up
like the ordinary i>ob-tail flush, and no
one is tiie w iser excepting those who are
actually sitting in the game and inter
estgfl^in the rake-off.

r T.-al was never

me gin 'cent surface
t if i would have
such -tr. tores upon
if, while in Tonopuh,
all night and sleep off
it day, he should have
f rich or. going through ‘
that place from Goldfield. When he
went through Reno, he could have in
terviewed Charles Snyder (who is well
i and favorably known in Builder) who
would have told him that his firm, the
Western Ore Purchasing company, had
1 paid in the |«st few months $1,500,000
for Goldfield ores, and that some of it ran
$1,000 a ton in carload lots, while sjieci
' men assays would go almost any old
figure.
Mr. Teal says: “The best piece of ore
I got to see in Tonnpah was about an
inch wide and assayed $145 per ton.”
Had he come here he could have seen
“streaks” many feet wide which would
have lieaten that figure—and he need
take no one's word for it. He could
break the ore and pin or assay it him
self.
Mr. Tual lavs great stress uimn gam
blers and gambling in this section. There
are gamblers and gambling in Goldfield
as there are in all new anil booming min
ing camps, but there is also the best
average class of people here the writer
has ever met since he left his New Eng
land home. In Paris there are low re
sorts where the cancan is danced and
where gambling is wide o|>en; there are
also beautiful art galleries and other at
tractions in that city where people of
refinement love to go. Some returning
visitors know nothing but of the slums
of Paris, others only of its great art
treasures—each looked for, and found,
that which his taste craved.
Will a similar reason account for Mr.
Teal’s turning down a section, only a
small part of which he ever saw? Did
he indulge in “chasers of whisky” until
he could not see the immensely rich ore
bodies that others have seen? Did he
deposit his money in the faro bank in
stead of the financial institution where
it could have been drawn out on de
mand?
We know not.
Hut we do know that men so well and
favorably known in Boulder county an
Messrs. Wise, Frankeberger, Lucv,Yates,
Dodge, Gentry, Sullivan, Wiggers,
Brown and scores of others will
agree that his letter in the Boulder Cam
era is the product of malice or a diseased
imagination.
The office poet adds his mite in the
following tribute to George:
There was a young duck named Teal
Who came out West on a ileal;
He got full in Tonopah
And went “belly up,” ah!
You orter hear the sucker squeal.
