FALSE REPORTS OF TONOPAH
Health Conditions In the Camp Have Been
Misrepresented.

The Tonopah Bonanza of last Satur-
day says
The people of Tonopah have a legiti-
mate cause for complaint against the
Nevada press in general-with one or two
well-noted exceptions. Relying upon the
past action of the press as indica-
tive of what we may now expect, many
State exchanges will come in containing
articles and items upon the basis of "it
is rumored" that health matters in To-
nopah are in bad state.
In the past thirty days there have been
Just three deaths of adults, in a popu-
lation closely approximated at 3,000 In
the miners hospital there is but one pa
tient-now convalescent. The customary
supply of good well water Is coming into
town right along. Even the parties en-
gagged in sinking other wells have made
no intimaton of a possible decrease of
the present supply.
These two main truhts should relieve
the qualms of our contemporaries. We
suggest that they verify reports before
publishing articles which lend TO the in
jury of this-the leading mining camp of
the coast. Ordinary judgment should tell
the Nevada papers to support a home
camp which has proven to be good, if for
no other reason than that ca pital invest
ed here may ultimately help to put Lac
into their own localities.
