The heart of ClassicNevada is the Historic
mining town of Goldfield, Nevada.  Goldfield
was, at one time, the largest city in Nevada
with a population of over 25,000 people.  It is
located 180 miles North of Las Vegas on a
two lane paved road that links Las Vegas to
Reno and Northern Nevada to Southern
Nevada.  In December 1902, two
prospectors, Harry Stimler and Billy March
found Gold just West of town.  Goldfield
became known as  “Queen of the Mining
Camps” because of its population, saloons,
and other forms of luxury and “Entertainment”
such as gambling and the “ladies of the
evening.”  

We show our appreciation of Goldfield by
supporting the town and publicizing events
and institutions like "Goldfield Days" in August
and the Esmeralda County School District
year round.

New Product Alert!

Nevada Telephone &
Telegraph
Company Phone Books

15 Volumes from 1906 – 1927

Classicnevada is pleased to announce the
availability of a CD that contains the
complete JPEG images of 15 assorted years
of the Nevada Telephone & Telegraph
Company Phone Books.
These documents have been scanned in their
entirety and include all of the contents of
this original source material from the years
of 1906, 1907, 1908, 1911, 1912, 1914,
1915, 1916, 1918, 1921, 1923, 1924, 1926
& 1927 (one year had two printings) and
contains the phone numbers, names, and in
some cases, the address, of all phone
subscribers in the boom towns of Tonopah,
Goldfield, Manhattan & Rhyolite.   These
are invaluable to researchers, genealogists
and western and mining history buffs.  Until
you can painstakingly assemble your own
collection of these rare books, take
advantage of our lucky find!  They were on
their way to being tossed out as old garbage
in mid 2007 when an astute collector saw
them.  After saving them from oblivion, he
showed them to us and agreed to make them
available to you!  He penned the following
dedication that appears on the CD…


"These telephone directories were rescued
from a trash pile. Their preservation is
dedicated to the memory of the early residents
of Goldfield who helped make Nevada what
it is today."
 L. Wadsworth, January 2008
