Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1902-08-02

ExChief of Police Devery of New
York has opened a campaign in his
Congressional district and proposes
to make a monied fight. He opened
his talk last week by throwing 500
worth of nickels into the crowd. Men
and women scrambled for them and
there is a boom in his popularity. If
Nevada candidate opened his cam
paign with nickels he would be con-
sidered dead one before he got a
block away from his home.
We wish to inform the Virginia
Enterprise that there is no truth in
the report that London syndicate
can or ever will buy Tonopah for
figures around $4,000, 900. The
principal companies here would not
accept double that sum, large as
those figures are.
The fees received last year by the
Surveyor General for office work on
United States mineral surveys in
Nevada amounted to 1905 against
81, $50 for the previous year. The
increase is in the main attributable
to Tonopah business.
The first oil burning steamship
ever built is now plying between San
Francisco and the Hawaiian Islands.
She is 81 feet in length and built of
steel, and is named the "Nevadan, "
in honor of this State, or her people.
The indications are that John W.
Mackays English holdings will be re-
quired to pay death tax of eight
dollars or pounds on the hundred.
This makes London an expensive
place in which to die.
All hospital records should regis
ter the full name, age, nativity and
occupation of every patient, together
with date of admission and discharge
or death.

for license by its usual majority and
split it's vote for school committee be-
tween the Public School Association
and the Democratic ticket. so evenly
that al late hour the complexion of
this contest was undecided.
notwithstanding the vote cast was
smaller than usual, on account of the
weather. the returns were unusually
late. Enough was received at a late
hour. however, to show cOnclusively
that John II. Duane, Democratic candi-
date for street commissioner, has been
elected over Edward w. PreshO, Re-
publican, present commissioner. 1t is
also as good as settled that the next
board of aldermen will be composed of
10 Democrats and three Republicans.
Fifteen out of the % wards show
the election of "a Democrats and ii Re-
publicans, to the common council and
full returns will probably reduce the
Democratic majority in that body very
little if any from the present standing.
No election for mayor was held, this
year.

says half grain of morphine has
proved fatal IN an adult. Five cases
have been recorded in which one grain
of muriate of morphine caused death.
The very young and the very old are
the most easily afflicted by opium. F'a-

Women are more. easily affected by
this opium drug than men. and there
are persons SO easily affected by opium
that the smallest quantity will cause
uncomfortable vomiting, faintness and
dizziness, and alarming prostration.
This from so eminent an authority
should be sufficient warning against
