FOR DAY OF
TEMPERANCE
|Anti-SaIoon Men
Plan Series of
Meetings.
BUSINESS MEN
TO CONTROL ONE
Warden Henry Will Talk Of Sta
tistics of Crime and
Liquor.

| The Anti-SaIoon League proposes tic
make January 3oth day for the con-
temptation of temperance problems by
the people of the city. The entire day
will be given over to the discussion of
matters relating to the traffic of liquor,
and from early morning until night
there will be heard arguments against
the dominance of the saloon.
| 1t was planned at first to make the
affair one of great magnitude, using
the Central Union Church for the mass
meetings, and seeing. too, that it was
filed, but this was abandoned so that
| there might be greater freedom than
| in a church meeting, and the Young
| finally chosen as the scene of the
morning and night meetings. The af-
ternoon gathering will be one of pecu-
| liar interest, in that it will be held at
the close of business hours, in CEN
| trail place, the old Chamber of Com
merce room, over the offices of Castle
6, Cooke, and the speakers will all be
business men.
The early morning meeting will be
Oiic given pNti III pa I ~ d SOli-
sideration of the general work of the
league, and the state of the mental
and physical health of the community
in the presence of SO great number
of saloons. The meeting it is expected
will be largely addressed by the clergy,
and the attendance viii be Of the
church folk who are thought to be
ready to give up something of business
for contemplation of the results OF
the liquor traffic.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon there
will be held the business mems meet
ing. This will draw, it is expected,
heavily from those who are not accus-
toned to attend such gatherings. To
interest this class of persons the pro-
gram has been chosen with great care.
There Will be an analysis of prison sta
tistics by Warden Henry, of Oahu
prison. This viii be an address which
temperance during the recent period
when the number of saloons has been
on the increase. Governor Dole will |
discuss the question from the stand |
point of the official, and w. A. Bowen |
will talk of the business side of the |
problem. There will be one other |
speaker, who will talk of temperance, |
out his name has not been made pub
ic as yet. This meeting will be en-
rely in charge of business men.
The evening meeting viii be address
d by W. r. Castle. who viii give a
of the work of the friends Of
and will discuss the local
ituation from that standpoint. 1t is
Understood that Mr.. Castle has pre-
jared a showing of the saloon growth
nd the number of persons who have
cen compelled to suffer by reason of
he use of liquor. In many ways it Is
Intended that this shall be the prin-
ipal address OF the day. and that it :
hall in way represent the sentiment
f those who are making the struggle
gainst the saloons Of the Territory
The Anu-Saloon League hopes to Sc
ure such interest that there viii be
reater attention given to the dangers
saloons in the residence district, and =
nat the community viii be aroused 50
lat the work VIII find greater support

RAH, RAH, RAILROAD!
The Nevada Midland Railway TO Be
Built Into TOnOpah by June 18th.

The new Nevada Midland railroad
is "A sure thing and Tonopah will be
in touch with the outside world,
Our wealth producing mines is the
mducement which impels this new
railroad Incorporation to come this
way. Arson Phelps Stokes whose
money has been invested in this
and Lander county, is determined
to bring Nevada to the front. He
has expended $500, 900 in Austin
mines without the return of IA cent
He is developing a valuable property
at Berlin, which is now on a paving
basis
Within 30 days the ground will be
broke and streak of iron-rust will
be stretched out in this direction.
The terminus of the Nevada Cen
trial is now at Ledlie, from thence
here The distance is 100 miles. a
level stretch of country, no obstacles
are to be encountered in the building
Of this railroad.
A railroad is necessity in this
country and will be the means of old
Nye county yielding up her hidden
millions Our people welcome the
advent Of the iron horse, and are
10Th to see the mule team depart, but
this Transformation must take place
in this desert county where fuel must
be brought in in large quantities, to
be used in developing our rich mines.
A private company is also being
arranged to build a railroad from
Sodaville to Tonopah. Tonopah's
new district production inside of
year will support three railroads.
1t is now known the world over that
Tunopah is the richest mineral field
in existence to-day.

RAY DISTRICT VERY RICH
Activity at The New Diggings--.Richer
Grow the Ledges---GOOd Assays.

The town of Ray where the new
rich discovery has been made, is "a
booming camp, about two hundred
miners are at work upon the leases
The lodges widen out as depth is
attained. Assays show the ore in
creasing in value ON several of the
different leases. The following are
among those who had assays this
week Keen * Co. 5000. %; L. O.
Ray, 1915. ID; August Kunze, s527 Of:
Lease II, 1887; O'Brien & Co,
s9l6.52 Booth & Mckenzie, 1913 20:
Powers & Co. 1872; Gleason & Co,
1866 90, and other assays along the
ledge range from Sl2 to $3.50.
A specimen of gold rock was shown
that was found about ten miles north
of Ray showing coarse gold in large
quantities. Two tons of this gold
rock would pay for the building of "a
railroad from here to Crow Springs
August Kunze & Co. are sacking
shipping ore from their lease that
will net them 5000 per ton.
Several leases have been sold var
rying from 81 900 to 81, 900 in price
The new district is a rich one and
those holding leases will all become
wealthy,
1t is rumored that an option has
been given by Ray & O'Brien for ten
days, S., 900 down and final payment
in ninety days, to O. E. Turner and
associates. The purchase price is
s400,O 900. The leases run for year,

have begun operations.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Money and
children will return to Tonopah next
week from Baltimore Their many
friends will welcome their return.
Mr.. and Mrs. Warren Mcdonald
returned yesterday from Tonopah.
Warren had a hard struggle for life,
and is still barely able to move
around. Had it not been for his
wife's presence and devoted care at
his bedside the probabilities are that
his name would have been written in

1t is pretty small potato politics
when a Congressman descends to
