LOCAL MANAGEMENT
SCORES A VICTORY.
Tonopah Company Elects Directors Who
Favor Present Management--.'ig-
orouS Policy 10 be Followed.

The election held by the Tonopah
Mining Company in Philadelphia on
the 9th inst. resulted in Il complete
victory for the present management.
f. l.. Oddie will continue us the gen
eral manager and Fred j. Seibert
will still be superintendent
The following are the twly elected
officers and directors: Arthur Brock,
president; r. Miller, vice president;
j. A. Highbee, secretary and treas
urer; C. A. Daniels, w g. Menden-
hall, r H. Rushton and J f. Amber
sou, directors.
That the new board will be an
active one is demonstrated by Il tele
gram sent by H. c. Cutting from
Philadelphia stating that the Tono-
pah Company stock had taken Il
jump from S. 30 TO 81 per share We
look to see the stock selling for SO
per share inside of month
Mr. Oddie has always advocated
extensive improvements He is thor
oughly familiar with the geography
of the country north of Tonopah,
through which system of water
mains will be laid for the supply of
water for mills and shelters, as well
as for domestic uses He is strongly
in favor of building mills and reduc-
ton works right at the mines and
so do away with transporting Tono-
pah ore. With the return of Mr..
Oddie most vigorous policy will be
inaugurated, and with the breaking
of ground for both mills and pipe
line, Tonopah will witness an era of
prosperity that has not been equaled
in Nevada since the palmy days of
the Comstock
The people of Tonopah are jubilant
over the outcome of the election.
Several of the directors are known
here, they having visited the camp
and being conversant with the re
quirements to develop the mines.
When water is piped into Tonopah
the stock now selling for 81 will be
quoted at $50 per share, and at that
price will be eagerly sought for
The mines of the company are to-
day pouring forth Il stream of ore
so great that all the smelters ON the
coast cannot handle it, Over $50
animals are employed in hauling II
small portion of the output to the
railroad The balance of the ore is
being piled upon the dumps.
Tonopah is all right and SO is the
Tonopah Mining Company.

Visited Silver Peak.

NJ. Sheridan visited Silver Peak
this week and inspected the mines OF
that district He examined the
lodges from which the rich strike is
reported and found rock with free
gold in it, but saw none of the big
nuggets that were reported to have
been taken out Mr. Sheridan says
the Silver Peak mines have the larg-
est quartz lodges in the world and
with a large plant to reduce the ore,
the annual bullion output would be
enormous.

Doc. O'Toole in his statement to
the Report said he could not get
Justice in the BONANZA. He never
asked for space in this paper, for he
knew he would have been accorded
il. But there is no necessity of an
swering his article, for it is false from
start to finish He has been given
too much prominence already by the
press. Space is too valuable to waste
upon him.

DEVELOPMENT IN

Good Showing in the Ohio TOnOpah --'
Rich Strike at Ray---Work Com
menced on the Belmont.

Wednesday of this week the Ohio
Tonopah Company encountered the
blue lava in their California shaft
This formation has proven to be the
lode Gaping in the Fraction. the
West End and the Mcnamara claims,
and was not expected to come in
before "A depth of $50 or POO feet was
reached
This is an important showing. as it
forces the belief that the wash is not
deep in any portion of the mineral
belt, and that the Ohio Tonopah will
soon be in the front ranks in opening
ore bodies and increasing the mineral
wealth of Tonopah Fraction stock
increased in value ten-fold in twenty
four hours, and we predict a similar
advance in the. Ohio Tonopah, Nc
Namara and West End securities.

CHARGES OF INTIMIDATION,
Steel Corporation Accused by Plaintiff z4=835ss5t#S Ho5oo

Steel Corporation Accused by Plaintiff in Hodge Suit.
 New York, Sept. 8.-In a brief filed to-day in Newark in the action of I. Aspinwall Hodge, Jr., and others against the United States Steel Cor poration, following motion, argued on Friday last, that the suit be dismissed as a conspiracy, the complainants have something to say, in their turn of the Eorporation and it's methods. It will be remembered that the corporations lawyers characterized the case as a a.blackmail suit" Now the defendants accuse the corporation and it's attorneys of tampering with witness, of being afraid to examine MT. Hodge, of in- timidating would-be complainants, and of attempting to delay a judicial deci- sion on the merits of the case. "As the position of these professional majority stockholders becomes more safe from ordinary attack, their boldness in vio- lating equity and good morals propor- tionately increases" says MT. Hodge, through his lawyers. Tt is becoming more and more important for them to stifie inquiry in court, and therefore, as a first step, to make it so disagreea- ble to sue them that they will not be sued''
 Affidavits by MT. Hodge as to his good faith in the suit and by John H. Lancaster denying alleged admissions made by him to a clerk of MT. Guthrie, of counsel for the defendant corpora ton, were also filed to-day.
