"Mr. Patrick was the first to recognize the possibilities of the Goldfield district, going there when there were less than a dozen people in the camp; now the population is about 10,000, and thre are from seventy-five to one hundred arrivals daily." Testimonial letters and company promises follow in detail, along iwth extended discussion of railroad facilities, the safety of mining investments, &c., &c. At this writing in 2017, Goldfield and Bullfrong are ghost towns.
