Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1902-03-29
SHOULD MAKE NO MISTAKE.


Each passing day the editor of the
BONANZA is asked the question why
this and that important thing is not
done by the Tonopah Company to-
ward permanently improving the
camp, and why this niggardly policy
of "a company whose accession to
millions of dollars came about with
less effort than that of the Amalga-
mated Copper Trust, whose sole eff
fort was the application of water in
the creation of wealth. The Tonopah
Company cannot even supply the
water.
Is it any wonder that yellow booted
self-styled and would-be mining eX-
perts vouchsafe to the outside world
the opinion that we have a possible
mine in Tonopah, and that but few
score of miners are employed in our
mines, with the probability of the
entire section from Ray to klondike
tiattening. Now if such malicious
statements as the above 90 abroad
concerning our camp it is not only
possible but probable that the blame
rests with someone connected with
the management of this immense
property. Who is it that refuses =?
Not General Manager Oddie and
superintendent Fred j. Seibert, than
whom no men on the Pacific Coast
are better qualified to carry on the
work. They are both men of ster-
ling worth, ambitious and devoted to
the work before them and possessed
of that penetration that insures them
successful and propituous future.
They enjoy the confidence and esteem
of all who know them. aud the fact
that they will be continued in their
present positions if the coming cleo
ton of officers on May LIST results in
the overthrow of the opposition will
have a very material effect in the
restoration of confidence. If the local
management are given the means
and encouragement they will make
within twelve months the greatest
producing properties on earth
out of the Tonopah mines Mark you!
Not mine, but mines.
TO what extent does the opposition
clique WELD the sceptre of influence
or power? Does it occupy position
that is dictatorial, and is it voicing
the sentiments of the stockholders and
by so doing holding in allegiance pros
perity that should be as dazzling as
the MONDAY sun? That there is an
antagonistic element identified with
the organization is fully apparent,
and that the opposition referred to
and its disciples constitutes this dis
turbing faction is not ouly apparent
but Enthusiastically real
The condition of affairs here and
the depression of the securities that
represent the Tonopah properties is
not only disgracefu but is likewise
humiliating. That there is "a cause
for this is evident, and that that
cause should be at once and forever
eradicated is imperative
In consideration of the ore ex-
posures here Tonopah stocks should
be eagerly sought after and valua-
tions should be in the ascendency.
And why the reverse? The mines
here require no eulogy That values
even beyond conception are exposed
is generally and conclusively known
The product of the mines has been
pouring from the camp in a steady
stream to reduc ton works all over
the Coast and the wealth of TonOpah
thereby established beyond all doubt
Is it a wonder those who have in
vested their money in stock, cog
infant of this great and unparalleled
showing should become discouraged
and suspicious ? Not at all. Conf
dence in the present and ultimate
result of operations here is mbouuded
and responsive, but just as long as
