I think I've figured it out. I can post, I just can't link to
the disclaimer. So here goes another try:

It may seem hypocritical for someone who runs an
Internet financial message boards to complain about
posting behavior, but I think you cross the line. I believe
in your right to say everything you said, and to say it
anonymously, but I don't believe you have a right to
deliberately mislead people about your identity. From
your first post claiming to be a lurker (you were a long-
time poster) looking for answers (you wanted to give
answers, not get them) you have been trying to get votes
for your son under false pretenses. That's a violation of
Internet norms, as well as basic honesty and securities
law.

May I ask if your post is voluntary? Or did our
Company's lawyers insist that you stop posting, identify
yourself and all other screen names you use. If that is
true you continue to be misleading.

I don't want to make a federal case out of this. For one
thing, I suspect you pushed more people into eRaider's
camp than management's. For another, I believe you
acted out of sincere belief that you were helping the
stock price, not some self-interested scheme.

But I do want to draw a contrast between this behavior
and eRaider. We may be aggressive, even
confrontational at times, but we are 100 percent
transparent. We do what we say, and say what we do.
Everything is in public, in the open. We never do things
anonymously (and never, ever misleadingly) although
we allow anyone to post anonymously on our boards.
We go through great effort and expense to comply with
all securities laws, even those we disagree with (of
course, we would have to do that for self-preservation,
but we also obey the law out of principle).

Please consider that your behavior is exactly the kind of
thing Goldfield doesn't need. It is openness, transparency
and trust that will draw new investors to this Company
and renew its energy and pride. Damn it, this Company
is worth fighting over and everyone connected with it
should take pride in that fact. But let's fight fair.

I think we can all win in the end. You are the largest
shareholder and therefore the largest beneficiary of any
progress. eRaider respresents a consensus of even more
shares (at least I think so, we'll find out in a few weeks).
So we have to work together.

In the past I have apologized for the disclaimer because
it is too much like a solicitation for my business. But this
time, I think I won't apologize. Because the disclaimer,
despite being against Internet norms, is part of the honest
and law-abiding behavior we advocate.

Now that I've figured things out, here is a repost of my
earlier answer.

I try not to post too often here, because I prefer people
come to eRaider if they want my opinion. Partly that's
because my site has a lot of legal disclaimers and
information I can link to, mostly because I figure people
know where to find me, and post on Yahoo! to hear
other opinions. But I do read this board and want to
answer direct questions like these.

I personally don't believe the good operating results have
much to do with the current price increase. If you look at
this stock's history you will not see much correlation
between results and price. Also the trading and volume
pattern suggest to me that people are acquiring shares.
Good operating results can push up a stock price, but
they usually don't increase trading volume, or set up a
pattern in which the price rises on large volume and falls
on small volume.

We know directors and officers are acquiring a
significant amount of shares for the first time (except for
John Sottile, whose family has been net sellers of shares
in the last 25 years, and Robert Jones' one-time $25,000
buy). We think there are some others buying as well. I
can't resist pointing out that if management thinks
eRaider is so disruptive and dangerous, as Anthony Ford
claims, why did they pass up 17 years of opportunities to
buy at prices as low as $0.1875, then start buying
frantically at prices up to $0.70 after eRaider
announced? I say, watch what they do, not what they
say.

As far as what eRaider wants, I have to separate the
official position of the Shareholder Value Slate from my
personal opinion.

The Shareholder Value Slate wants to elect at least one
serious long-term shareholder to the board who is not an
employee of the Company nor a personal friend of John
Sottile. That person or persons will watch every penny
of shareholder money, subject every proposal to rigorous
scrutiny and communicate clearly with shareholders. He
or she or they will also work hard as an ambassador for
the Company and an advisor to management. He or she
or they will not go in to disrupt anything, criticize
anyone, dredge up the past, cause distress or represent
any special group of shareholders or any fixed idea.

It would be irresponsible to stake out a fixed position
before joining the board. The board is privy to
confidential information. More important, you have to
meet and work with real people as individuals before
you make sweeping generalizations about a business.
One thing I have learned in 20 years of this stuff is no
company is anything like what it appears to be on paper
or from short visits.

I'm sure the first few board meetings after one or more of
us is elected will be tenser than average; but that kind of
stuff fades quickly as everyone pitches in and helps.
Ultimately, the current board members respect that
shareholders can elect whomever they wish; and we will
respect that other board members were elected as well
and have much longer experience with the Company.
And when the stock price goes up, as I will work hard to
see it does, everyone will forget their differences in
enjoyment of wealth. John Sottile is the second-largest
shareholder (we think, anyway) a few million dollars in
his pocket may make us look prettier to him than we do
now.

Hidden Agenda,
Zeomanus?

This message is also a re-post of one that was deleted
from Yahoo.

So, Tony Ford is Zeomanus. Tony, you often
accused eRaider of having a "hidden agenda". But
who was really hiding? When you arrived at the
board you posted messages asking "Who is JSherry,
Anthony Ford, Al Marino and Arron?" (#3762) In
these messages and others, you deliberately created
an impression that you did not know people that in
fact you know quite well. You misled people about
your true identity and interests: Tony Ford - owner of
5% of Goldfield Corp, whose son has been
nominated by management to be on the Board of
Directors.

In order to protect shareholders, the SEC requires
that all participants be disclosed in on the proxy.
Participants include anyone who finances, advises or
abets the proxy effort. All relationships with the
company and with the people running the slate must
be disclosed. Read our proxy and you will see that
we disclose all participants. The SEC does this to try
to prevent "hidden agendas".

I am no lawyer, but it seems that you acting as an
undisclosed participant in John Sottile's proxy.
Participants in a proxy need to abide by the SEC's
regulations. One of those, Schedule 14A Item 9,
prohibits: "Material which directly or indirectly
impugns character, integrity or personal reputation,
or directly or indirectly makes charges concerning
improper, illegal or immoral conduct or associations,
without factual foundation."

When ordinary shareholders post, I think it's fine to
present views without supporting documentation. I
believe and support the open-ended debate on this
board. But participants in a proxy, including eRaider,
must be held to a higher standard. Your son's
presence on the directors' slate, your association with
Mr. Sottile and your 5+% stock position may or may
not legally obligate you to hold these standards, but
to deliberately mislead this board is inexcusable.

Message 414
This is one of the most contentious issues of corporate governance.

New York Stock Exchange regulations allow brokers to vote shares if
the beneficial owner (that is the person who actually owns the shares)
does not send in a proxy, but only if the matter is noncontroversial.
Depending on what side this issue you are on, these are called "broker
non-votes" or "trash votes." Brokers who are members of the NYSE
have interpreted this rule to allow them to also vote AMEX (like
Goldfield) and Nasdaq stocks. Even some brokers who are not NYSE
members have been known to vote, although I know of no authority for
this action.

There are four problems with this system. First is the generous definition
of "noncontroversial." Second is the fact that companies don't have to
communicate with shareholders in order to get quorums, they can get all
the votes they need with entirely passive shareholders. Third is that
although brokers have a fiduciary duty to cast informed votes, in my
experience they do not, they automatically vote with management. Even
the most passive mutual funds are better than brokers in this regard.
Finally, it papers over the problem of short sellers (when someone
borrows your shares and sells them to someone else, both you and the
new owner think you have the right to vote them; shorts are supposed to
be covered before elections, but they are not).

In the past, I think Goldfield has relied on broker non-votes to pass
proposals. My estimate is that about 45 percent of the votes for the
current board of directors were non-votes (that estimate has large
uncertainty as it is based on typical ratios from other companies applied
to GV's shareholder base). This year they will not be able to use them on
the contested issues: elimination of cumulative voting and director
elections.

Again I'm doing a lot of guessing here, but I expect the total vote
turnout to be around 15 to 18 million shares rather than the 21 million of
prior years. This represents the elimination of broker non-votes, but the
increase due to intense solicitation efforts by management, the 500,000
additional shares issued to management in option exercises and the
increased concentration of holdings. Management needs almost 14
million of those to eliminate cumulative voting. If they fail, we get one
director elected for each 2.5 million (give or take a little) votes we get.

It's June 19 (a Tuesday), 9:00 AM at Imperial's Hotel and Conference
Center, 8298 North Wickham Road, Melborne, FL 32940.

Depending on how things go, it may be a short meeting. If management
gets more than half the votes but less than 13,847,078 (my estimate),
they plan to adjourn the meeting to get more votes. That would mean no
voting on directors. It might or might not mean no voting on the other
proposals (we're trying to find out management's plans) and also
postponement of the other business. On the other hand, if management
gets less than half the votes or more than 13,847,078, then the meeting
will probably cover all proposals and business.

If you're planning to attend the meeting, or if you live in the Melborne
area, let's see if we can get together before or after the meeting to talk
about things. This is not intended to be electioneering, just a friendly get
together.

Two weeks ago, a poster showed up on the Yahoo! message board under
the sreen name Zeomanus claiming to be a "lurker looking for
information" and asking, among other things, "who is Anthony Ford."
We immediately determined that Zeomanus was Anthony Ford, a long-
time poster under the screen name JSherry, and someone more interested
in giving rather than getting information. In fact he posted strong anti-
eRaider and pro-management positions, and abused anyone who
disagreed.

We have been complaining to the SEC. Not because he is expressing his
opinion, which he is entitled to do, nor because he does so anonymously,
also something we believe is his right. We have complained because he
deliberately misled people about his identity, also because he violates
securities law by being a 5 percent shareholder who has not made a
section 13 filing and, arguably, a participant in management's
solicitation (he is not listed as a participant, but he is the father of
nominee Al Marino and the company uses his shares in Al Marino's
biography).

Today Zeomanus admitted: "I will tell you who I am then stop posting
{at least for a while) My interest in the welfare of this company is great,
since I am the largest shareholder. Previously, I posted under my wife's
handle of Jsherry."

I suspect this was something ordered by the lawyers ("stop posting and
identify yourself, your position in the company and other screen names
you post under").

What I want to know is why Yahoo! carries these posts but deletes
everything Deborah or I post. We tried to expose Zeomanus, but Yahoo!
protected him. It is an example of why Yahoo! message boards cannot
be used for shareholder activism, Yahoo! takes the Company's side even
if the poster is clearly violating securities laws and dissidents are not.

We filed our definitive proxy statement today. That means we can start
collecting proxies.

If, after reading the definitive proxy statement as well as management's
materials, you decide you want to vote with us, here are the instructions.

First of all, you can go to the meeting (June 19th in Melbourne Florida)
and vote your shares however you want. If you do that, however, we'd
like to hear from you (use info@eRaider.com) to tell you what you have
to do to make sure your votes get counted and maybe to meet down in
Melbourne.

Most shareholders, however, will want to appoint someone else as their
proxy. That's where the proxy form comes in. You can use the one
management sent you to vote for some of the things we want, we
recommend voting against Items 1 and 4, withholding all votes on items
2A and 2B and voting for item 3. Then you can mail that back to
management.

I would prefer you to use our proxy form and mail it to us. Then you can
vote as above, plus vote for our three nominees. Even if you've already
sent another proxy to management, you can still use ours, only the last
one matters.

If you use our form, and trust us completely, you just have to sign and
mail the form to us. But read it carefully first, you may want to direct
votes on some issues. If you don't direct any votes, that is if you just sign
and date the form and make no other marks on it, the form tells you how
we will vote your shares. If you disagree, you can specify another vote
and we are bound to vote as you direct.

All proxies should be returned to:

eRaider.com Inc.
PO Box 20170
Park West Station
New York, NY  10025

It's not essential, but it helps counting if you include the proxy form
management sent you. If you don't have that, please let us know the
number of shares you owned at the end of May 2, 2001, the account they
are in (assuming that, like most people, you hold them in a street name
with a broker rather than in your own name) and your social security
number.

If you feel uncomfortable revealing any of that, it's okay, we can match
you up from the shareholder list, it just takes more time and sometimes
leads to arguments with management. Please let us know if you also sent
in a proxy to management. One other good thing is if you email us
(info@eRaider.com) to tell us you're sending the proxy. Even if you've
sent a proxy into us before, please send another.

Now the hard part. We are working on a really good system, but it will
not be available for a while (maybe not in time for the election). Printing
from the Internet is not an easy thing. We will be mailing out proxies,
but not to all shareholders (and we haven't gotten the shareholder list
from the Company yet, so we may not get one out in time). You can
request one by mail (email info@eRaider.com). You can also request
that we send you one by return email, either in Word or Text format. Of
course, you then must have a printer to print it out and sign it.

You can click here to download a Word file or here to download a text
file. You can go to the on-line proxy form, cut and paste it into any word
processing program, and print it out. But if you try to print directly from
the Internet, you will get an ugly document, probably an unusable one.

If you want to print directly from the Internet it will take 7 pages (it's
only 2 in the Word file). You must click successively on Page 1, Page 2,
Page 3, Page 4, Page 5, Page 6 and  Page 7; then use your browser print
command to print each one. The eRaider print button doesn't do that (it
just reformats the page for printing and tells you to use your browser's
command, but the reformatting doesn't help much for this document).

We'll be working on easier ways to submit the proxy, but when Internet
technology collides with SEC regulation, it's tough to do things in a slick
way.
