TONOPAH DOES NOT
FAVOR RAILROAD SUBSIDY
From the Tonopah Miner Of July II.

From the Tonopah Miner Of July IL.
There is much discussion about the
railroad coming into Tonopsh. This is q
question Of great importance to our town
and people. The advent Of q railroad
would undoubtedly bring many people to
our camp aud enable the owners Of the
mines to ship out their ore for a little less
expense. perhaps, but in the end the
money would 20 into the hands Of the
stockholders in the railroad who do not
live here and our own people would derive
no benefit from 1t.
The Miner does not intend to take o po-
sition that would appear to be against
public improvements, or the development
OF the country. A position of that kind,
in this age of progress, would be unten-
able and a paper advocating such ideas
could not hope to succeed, but looking
at the matter from the cold blooded
standpoint of the business world, and
particularly that part which most affects
US, We believe that there are other things
more essential to our welfare than q
railroad.
The money spent now to support the
army of men and teams engaged in the
freighting business between the railroad
and Tonopah goes q long ways toward
keeping up the prosperity of the camp.
This will continue to be the case until
more mines are developed and until
water is brought into the camp in sufi-
Gent quantity to have mills and smelling
works in operation here. Nearly sill the
money paid out, either in fares or freight,
goes Immediately into circulation and
u W people get the benefit, and get it
quickly.
So far as our interests are concerned it
looks as though the $3.50, 900 bonus asked
by the railroad company would be a bad
business venture. If enough business is
developed here the railroad will come,
and come as most of us came to Tonopah,
as a matter of business on their part, ex-
pecting nothing but the natural remuner-
alton from the freight handled. 1t is the
history of nearly all mining camps in the
West that times were better and money
p~lentier before the advent of a railroad
than afterwards. The railroad will come
when the conditions warrant without any
bonus, which is often given by poor men
who can scarce afford it, to make rich
men richer.

Carson Appeal.
The people of Nevada little realize
to what extent this State is now looked
to for investments, especially in a min
ing way. Hardly a paper that pays any
attention to mining overlooks this
State. In the issue of the 14th inst,
the Salt Lake Herald devotes a quarter
of a page to the mines of Nevada. The
paper comments and republishes articles
on every section, from the great Wede-
kind mine to the Tonopah producers.
Not a man that comes to this section,
fails to ask about the mines, and in
every instance interest is awakened
that will at some day result in a bene-
fit for the Silver State. The fact that
Eastern capital has invested within our
borders, and the investments have
proven bonanzas. will send a rush of
financial aid to the long neglected Sec
tions that will bring a revival beyond
the expectations of those who have
lived a lifetime in the ssgebrush.
