Geo,
I didn't reply to this post because I felt that Aaron's next post #4126
expressed my views as well. But I didn't mean to ignore you. Do you
feel we've covered things?

I am disappointed with the "Zeomanus" episode, but I want to keep my
eye on the ball, which is the proxy contest and reaching out to all
shareholders.

I consider all reports of Anthony Ford's share ownership prior to the
proxy filed in May to be unreliable. I think the speculation about
purchases and sales is reasonable, but we really just don't know.

One other possibility is that shares were reclassified. Say he owns 1.5
million shares in his own name and 0.5 million in a trust for the benefit
of his children (I'm making this up for illustration). Then he might claim
beneficial ownership of 1.5 million shares but control of 2.0 million.

What they tell the SEC

On June 5, Goldfield filed additional proxy materials with the SEC. I
compared the filed version with what they actually sent. Comments in blue are mine.

June 5, 2001My letter is dated May 25, 2001. Was the
filed letter post dated to make it appear that it was filed before sending
rather than 11 days afterwards?

Dear Fellow Stockholder: A bit familiar from a guy
who gets $17,000 per year from the Company for being a director, yet
owned less than $1,000 worth of stock until December 22, 2000.

We have previously sent to you proxy material for the Annual Meeting
of Stockholders of The Goldfield Corporation to be held on June 19,
2001. According to our latest records, we Who is
"we"? The letter is signed by an individual, Dwight Severs. If "we"
means all shareholders, he shouldn't have sent this letter to people who
send proxies to eRaider. I guess he's "we" and we're not.have
not yet received your proxy. Your Now we have the
opposite problem. He's a fellow shareholder but it's "your" board, not
"our" board. There seems to be a bit of an identity crisis here.
Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote FOR all
proposals on the agenda.

Remember, since approval of Proposal 1 requires the affirmative vote by
the holders of a majority of all shares of Common Stock
outstanding(Everything up to here was added for the
SEC filing, it is left out of the letter itself. Presumably the Company
wants the SEC to think they are asking for votes only to get enough to
amend the articles of incorporation, but really wants shareholder votes
on their whole package.), your vote is important, no matter how
many or how few shares you may own. Please help your company avoid
the expense of further solicitation by signing, dating and returning the
enclosed proxy card today. No mention that your
opinion matters, or your vote makes a difference to the outcome, just
that you'll save the Company (and therefore yourself) money by
complying now. This is the naked version of the threat: vote for us or
we'll spend a lot of your money.

Thank you for your support. "Cooperation" is used in
the letter rather than "support." Cooperation is a strange choice. Voting
against the Company's recommendations is "uncooperative?" They
don't want your support to win the election, they want your cooperation
to save money. It's no wonder they didn't want to use this word with the
SEC.

Very truly yours,
Dwight W. Severs
Secretary

-------------------------------------------------------

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT! This was left out of
the actual letter.

If you have any questions, or need assistance in voting your shares,
please call our proxy solicitor, Why "our" proxy
solicitor? See above.

Goldfield History
by: dpastor_2000 (44/F/New York)
06/08/01 01:40 pm EDT
This is an excerpt from our press release - I thought it might give food
for thought. The last time I tried to post this, it was deleted.

eRaider felt that the Company drifted from business to business
without ever devoting the attention and resources necessary to make
any one of them a success. Goldfield has never paid any dividends,
and the stock has gone steadily down since the Sottile family got
involved with Goldfield in 1969 (the board Chairmanship and CEO
position were held by John Sottile's older brother and father before
him; Sottile and Leitner family members have often represented the
majority of the board of directors, although currently they are only 2
of the 5 directors). Of course the stock has gone up from time to time,
but the company's market capitalization declined from over $100
million in 1969 to a low of $5 million in 1998, without any significant,
sustained rallies. Even this overstates the performance because
shareholders injected additional capital in the late 1970s. Had
Goldfield performed like the average stock in the S&P 500, it should
be a $2 billion company today, with the shares worth over 100 times
their current price (and 300 times the price before eRaider got
involved). Even when Goldfield still mined gold, and the price per
ounce of that metal soared from $35 to $800, Goldfield's stock price
fell.

All of this adds up to a rut in which managers are given long-term
contracts (John Sottile has a ten-year contract that pays him even if he
is fired) and bonuses for performance that is not good enough to lift
the stock price. eRaider thinks management bonuses and other extra
compensation should only be paid if shareholders also receive gains.
eRaider blames this rut, and the attendant obscurity of the stock, for
driving away institutional and many individual investors. But the
Company has valuable assets, strong businesses and good
management. eRaider thinks it needs only a more aggressive board of
directors to achieve greatness.
