Tonopah Trade Decline Tied to Poor Roads to Golden Arrow
Captan Cotter of Cotter Mines reports continued ore development at Golden Arrow after early setback. The 227 foot fault halted a five foot ledge but sinking resumed, uncovering rich ore at 244 feet. Water supply limits mill plans, though a self paying mill is expected with deeper mining. Golden Arrow traffic goes to Goldfield due to bad road conditions, prompting calls for improved highways. Cotter returns to Golden Arrow, urging Nye county and Tonopah residents to invest in roads.
