MACMASTER & MACMASTER MINING STOCK BROKERS P.O. BOX 1063 GOLDFIELD, NEV. Nov 24 -06 Bros. & Sisters: Suppose you kids have been seeing snow. There was about 15 inches of snow on the ground yesterday evening. The sun came out pretty warm today and a part of the snow had melted. It has started in to snow again tonight. I have been sleeping by myself for a week and sometimes get pretty cold. I am lucky to have a room though. A whole train load of people come in here very night. The train does not get in until about 12:00 to 3:00 at night and most of them have to go to saloons and lay on the floor or any old place they can find under a roof until morning. The depot is about 2 miles out of the main part of town. People are coming in here and paying $10.00 a night for a cot and a couple of comforts and darned glad to get it at that. Everyone that had beds to rent are taking advantage of the rush. I could get $5.00 to $10.00 every night for half of my bed if I wanted
