Reduced Rates to TOnOpah.

Salt Lake Tribune, March 8: A
letter from Tonopah, Nevada, to the
ore buyers of this city brings the
news that the Southern Pacific Rail
way Company has reduced the tariff
on ores between that camp and the
Salt Lake valley shelters from SIS
to S12 30 per ton on ores of the value
of 500, the tariff again advancing as
the value of the product increases
To San Francisco the same company
exacts tariff of but so a ton. The
haul to that town necesstates a pull
over the mountain ranges, while one
engine does the work between Tono-
pah and Salt Lake valley. The new
tariff will afford no relief and the
Tonopah producer will continue send
ing his output either to Selbys or
the furnaces at Everett, Wash. In
the meantime very little ore is being
billed out of the camp. The com
panies have ascertained that a mill
upon the ground is the proper thing
and the only thing for their relief,
and at last one is promised the pres
ent season To that end contracts
for machinery are now being made,
with assurances that the material
shall be delivered as soon as it can be
turned out of the mandatory.

INFLUX OF MINERS.

At the present time there are
about fifty mining men here from
Montana and all of them are en- route
to Tonopah, where they expect to
obtain employment. AS many more
are coming here and will arrive in a
few days. In conversation with some
of these men last evening a Gazette
reporter learned that the papers of
Butte have been booming Tonopah
for all that it was worth. The men
said that the papers stated that a
thousand men could find employment
at the new camp and that miners
were so scarce that they were i'm
porting green hands from Reno and
Carson, and they were paying from
five to six dollars a day for their
services. "Tonopah is the best ad
vertised mining camp on the coast, 3"
said one of the men last evening.
and there will be sorry lot of men
from Montana if the place does not
pan out as anticipated A number
of men have given up positions in the
mines at Butte and will arrive here
soon. Reno Gazette.
There have been several articles in
the Butte papers of late warning
miners seeking employment to keep
away from Tonopah for two or three
months. The BONANZA editor has
read them and knows that such
warning was published There is no
work here for miners at present, but
those with a few dollars can find one
of the best fields to prospect in north
and south of Tonopah that is in ex-
istence to-day There are sections
OF this country within radius of
fifty miles that have never been trod
by man. New discoveries are being
made every few days. But miners
hunting for employment should keep
away from Tonopah for short time.
The mines are here and have not
lost their values but it will take time
to open them up. They are growing
richer each day. The companies in
tend to hire only frst-class miners.
and the BONANZA will advise when
there is need of them

speech, in New York, referring to
Americans who had deserted to the

The milk of human kindness gets

No man ever fell into the snares OF
a temptress II he didn't want to be
shared.
When a man has difficulty in find
ing a chance to propose he can make
up his mind that the girl doesn't
want him.
1t is more profitable to bet on a
fool who has luck than to put your
faith in sage who can't make con-
nections.
The man who loudly yells II want

prove 1t in court.
