Show yield's Mml Gathers bbi Town Man Who Opened tho January Touches Touch-es ElbowJs With thcTJau Who Unearthed Florence. With Nevada's latest and biggest camp of gold his destination, J. P. Sweeny, lessee of the Florence mine nt Goldfield, came in from Crlpnle Creek, Colo., yesterday and is now at the Knutsford. Awaiting the arrival of the fortunate lessee of the Florence was a check for over $22,000, this in payment for forty tons of ore that was marketed In his behalf by the Taylor & Brunton sampler, and which lot will be followed bv another in a short time. It Is to Mr. Sweeny that tho camp Is Indebted for the discovery of ore on the Florence. While he has many Interests at Cripple Creek, and thinks none the less of It, ho sees a more bewildering future for the new camp upon which he has slaked his destiny, and believes It will ulllmatfly become the most productive In the I history of gold mining. Another In the hunch from Gold-field Gold-field to rallv In the ICnulsford's lobby during tho day. was Nate Mnnslield, a former manager of the Smugglor-LTnion Smugglor-LTnion mines at Tellurlde. Colo., nnd while he has been present at .some big eleah-ups In that camp ho Is relying rely-ing on bigger ones In Nevada. Tn Goldfield he has acquired a foothold that promises him a fortune, nor did he stammer when he proclaimed it the "greatest camp on earth." Jieb Kendall, who was ono o the first to enter the arena over there, is back from Springvllle, where he partook par-took of the turkey and gave thanks under the parental roof, and will today leave for the West to draw on his acquisitions ac-quisitions that have responded so freely free-ly from the first, for another fortune before the close of thj present year. To no one is Nevada Indebted to u. greater extent for the big gold boom it- is now experiencing than Is it to the boy from, Utah. It was Mr. Kendall Ken-dall and his assoolates whe made tho original discovery on the Jantr.ry mine that has since become so productive, produc-tive, and whose performances have been among the most sensational In, the story of the marvelous camp of gold. Meantime, he hna acquired other oth-er 'territory in the camp and promises to come forth many times a millionaire. |
