THE WONDERFUL
MINING CAMP.
The Progress of Tonopah as
Seen by a Dispatch
Correspondent.


We have now a population of about
400 which is increasing daily at the
rate Of 20.
Main street is now a solid block of
commodious frame buildings for a dis
lance OF half a mile on the west side
and buildings are going up rapidly on
the east side of the street also.
Every line of business is BEING
carried on profitably and the town pre-
sents a very lively appearance to the
new arrival. The saloons are densely
crowded as they afford about the only
amusement to be had in Tonopah.
Nearly every saloon furnishes its pat
rons with music of some kind and the
best make of monographs with the
latest and choicest selections can be
heard here nightly.
Lodging accommodations are poor
at present, but in a short time we will
have two large first class hotels which
are nearing completion.
The output of the mines, that is the
different leases Of Tonopah Mining
Company's property, for the next six
weeks will be enormous, as the leases
expire on Jan. | next, and the lessees
are taking out as much ore As they
possibly can. There are a large num-
Der of big teams hauling ore to Soda
vile, the nearest railroad point. but
they make no impression whatever on
the immense piles Of sacked ore ready
for shipment.
The Tonopah Company is sinking a
hree-compartment working shaft,
which is down 80 feet, and 1t will be
sunk as rapidly as possible in order to
thoroughly develop this great property.
Other companies are doing extern
sive work here also, among which is a
company from Salt Lake City. They
have four shafts in their different
properties, the deepest Of which is $50
feet, for the development of their
properties. A large hosting works is
being put up owe their main shaft, and
important developments may be
looked for in the near future, as their
ground is known to be rich in mineral.
Mr.. Silbert, an experienced mining
man, is manager for this company, and
Mr.. Jenkins, a well known mining SUI
perinte ndent, manages the Tonopah
properties.
Other properties within a radius Of
twenty miles Of Tonopah are making
good showings. and this place promises
to become a large mining center.
Ores from here have been shipped to
different points for testing and deter
mining the best methods for working
them. Five months ago there were
only six frame structures and about
fifty tents in this burg, today there are
hundreds of nice buildings and about
200 tents, and a large army Of of car
penters are working, adding to the
present number.
A more orderly or peaceable COM
munity could not be found anywhere
and it is a rare occurrence to see a
bar room fight. The weather here is
grand, cool nights and warm sunny
days, with very little wind. Two stage
lines are now running into here. one
from Candelaria and the other from
Sodaville, and both are we'll patronized
by the travelling public.

Another Sudden Death.

Captain hudson n Cross, former city
attorney, died suddenly last Saturday
morning at the family residence, 17O1
Thomas place, from the rupture of Il
blood vessel. He had enjoyed excel
lent health of late and spent the night
before entertaining visitors. among
them being his son-in-law, Mr.. KNAPP
pen of the Journal; who had returned
from the northern part of the state.
The deceased was 63 years old and
a native of New York. He came to
Minneapolis in 1876 and formed law
partnership with Judge Hicks, to which
firm Frank H. Carleton was afterwards
added, and still later his son, Norton
N. Cross. He was a member of the
Minnesota Loyal Legion and served
as first lieutenant in an Ohio regiment,
afterwards rising to the rank of cap
tain. He is survived by widow and
four children. The funeral occurred
on Monday. The services were pri
waite, but many old friends of the de-
ceased were in attendance. DR.. D. l..

The order grew rapidly. Before his
death st. Benedict sent st. Plncidus to
Sicily ana st. Maurus to France. Bcne
dictincs were the apostles Of Burgun

zcrland, Germany, Norway and Swe-
den. In all the Bencdictincs converted
some thirty kingdoms and provinces
to Christianity and when they had con-
verified a province their work had just
begun. The people were still imbued
with pagan ideas which 1t took gene
ratiOns to eradicate. All they had
learned was war and q rude kind of
agriculture. 1t was the endeavor of
the inconsistencies to spread us much
learning as the times would permit, to
train men in the various handicrafts
and to teach improved methods of
agriculture. Each monastery had its
own farm lands, the cultivation of
which served as an object lesson for
the country people. The monks cleared

with manual labor in and around the

one continual round of work and pray

The scene is bound to give the impress
sion that the monastic life must be
conducive to a cheerful disposition.
The Benedictine order, to which this
monastery belongs, is the Oldest or
ganization of its kind. 1t was founded
by st. Benedict, who was born at Nor
STA, not far from Rome, in the year
A. d. 4SO. People living some sort of
a monastic life have always been com.
mon in Oriental countries-and were
not unknown among the Jews before
the coming of Christ. Among Chris
tians the monastic life found numerous
adherents from the very first years of
the church. Such men lived mostly as
hermits, sometimes also in small com.
munities, but generally without any
rules or organization. Then, too, in &C.
cordance with the we'll known Oriental
disposition their life was mainly one
of contemplation. In this respect, st.
Benedict worked complete change.

Alone he bravely stands
Beneath the heavy weight
or woes deep-sinking bands,
or the decree Of Fate,
With supplicating hands
A Sadness incarnate.
No more the light Of joy
Nor gladstone ray of mirth
May his sad life alloy,
Or CLEAN upon his hearth,
But he, stern Fortunes toy,
Must wander DER the earth.
For him no loving arms
Bid welcome to the home;
No roof trees happy charms
Bid him no more to roam,
But battles dread alarms
Greet him, meath heavens dome,
And yet his face Is proud,
Though darkened by his grief,
His head may not be bowed,
And still he is the chief,
Nor is his spirit cowed,
Sustained by his belief.

May bark to mounds of sod,
Yet grand he'll stand and wait,
