$4,000 FOR A PIE.
Neat Sum Which Was Melted by
Bit of Pastry.

Of the Three railroad, who passed through

ANOTHER MERGER ?
Rock Island Stock Makes a Myster-
ions Advance in Price.

Chicago. April 1O.-There is much spec
ulation in railroad circles here as to the
meaning of the large transactions and
big advance in Northwestern. Rock Is
land. and Milwaukee & st. Paul stocks.
While many are of the opinion that it
means a prospective deal in which j.
P Morgan, the Moore brothers, w. B.
Leeds, and others are interested, no one
believes there win be a merger of these
properties and it is the opinion that
community of interest in them is being
planned. There are others who think
the advance is speculative in character,
and that the stock is being advanced
in a measure for effect upon the rest Of
the market.

found Santa Fe a most interesting and

Santa Fe railway is doing great work
for the territory in attracting the at

SENATOR FROM ORMSBY.

The BONANZA has a propOrtionate-
ly good circulation in Carson City,
bringing into lire word Of advice to
the voters of Ormsby relative to
their Republican nominee for State
Senator That is a high position !;
his votes and acts affect legislat ton
and the welfare of the entire State.
Tonopah people, regardless of par
tisanship, feel grateful and honored
by the nomination of Wills Brougher.
There could be no question of his
election were he IA candidate for the
upper house from Nve county. There
are scores Of Carson men interested
in the mines here and extensive en-
terprises incidental thereto. who
should heartily Join in support Of one
who pioneered Tonopah on the road
to success. Out of that success Mr..
Brougher has fairly revivitied the
capital city In combination with
his sturdy manhood, invinciblc in
tegrity and practical common sense,
all this leaves no element wanting in
his fitness for the place. The men who
vOts will by their free ballots do
honor to their best friend by electing
Wills Brougher.

HAS ACCEPTED.

The BONANZA is glad 10 be in posi-
tion 10 announce that X. l.. Johns,
Esq, has consented to accept the
nomination for District Judge, Third
district, rendered him by the late
Republican state convention. The
dis 'rict, which includes Nye, Eureka
and Lander com tiles, has no more able
lawyer in it than Judge Johns, nor one
who can equally command the respect
and confidence of litigants and attor-
neys. The interests of Tonopah de-
mand his election, not rs matter of
politics, but of business. That the
Judge should be IA resident of Tono-
pah, under the existing conditions, is
II matter of the greatest Importance,
and every elector should cast his vote
for Judge Johns, as citizen, regard
less of party affiliations. With the
county seat fifty miles away, and the
Judge residing over one hundred
miles away, the administration of law
in this community is almost impossi-
bic, and litigants are put to so great
an expense that it amounts to de-
NAL of justice, especially to the poorer
classes Perhaps three-fourths of
the legal business in the Third Judicial
District comes from Tonopah, and in
the future the percentage will be
even larger. Eureka does not need
the resident Judge. Tonopah does,
and Eureka and Lander counties
should be willing that Tonopah should
have the resident Judge. What bene-
fits Tonopah, benefits Nevada,
Eureka and Austin. The claims of
Tonopah we believe will be recognized
by the voters in Eureka and Lander
counties, and Mr. Johns will receive
IA large majority. While appreciat-
ing the honor conferred upon him, he
is not anxious for the office, and his
business enga ,ements will prevent
him from making an active campaign.
He feels that the judgeship is, or
should be, outside of politics, and
that a candidate for Judge should not
cleo tioneer We are satisfied he is
of the right material to make an ex-
cellent Judge, and earnestly recon-
mend his election. A competent and
an experienced lawyer: "A man of
good character and of sound judg-
ment, he will prove an honor to the
bench.
