TO THE PUBLIC,

BE TT KNOWN TO ALL PERSONS
That the Miners and La.
Dor Unions of Tonopah, New,
view with alarm the inroads
that Chinese labor is making
in our fair city, by securing
the work that should be done
by the willing hands of our
own people, especially in
laundries, restaurants, hotels
and as household help.
And, whereas, we now have
plenty of hotels, restaurants,
a union steam laundry and
several white women who are
doing a laundry business at
their home, where Chinese
labor is not employed
We, the undersigned, mem.
bers OF said organizations, by
order of our respective un-
ions, do hereby appeal to and
request all union men and
women and the public gener-
ally in and around the fair
city of Tonopah, who are in
sympathy with organized la
Dor, to cease their patronage
of Chinese restaurants, laun-
drys and all places where
Chinese labor is employed,
thus giving our own race a
chance to live.

RAISE THEIR SALARIES.

Two years ago bill was intro
duced in the legislature of this State
and was passed reducing the salaries
of tae various officers Of Nye county.
This was necessary at that time,
owing to the decrease in population
and revenue in taxes. Since that
time Tonopah has sprung into exist
ence and wiped out the debt of
$40, 600 that was standing upon the
books against it. To-day the county
is in a prosperous condition aud can
well afford to pay its officials good
salaries for their services, and
therefore we say al act should be
passed to raise every county officials
pay in Nye county. The County
Commissioners and District Attorney
should receive sums that will imburse
them for their labor; as it now stands
tt " are not receiving the wages
that an Indian or Chinaman is paid
for his months labor The BONANZA
advocates liberal salary for every
county official. Assemblyman Nc
Cabe will advocate such a bill, Every
man is worthy of his hire.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1870:
HE FOOLED THEM AGAIN.

The Reno Journal, with the aid of
the pen of that traitor Bartine, who
cspoused the election of Congressman
Francis G. Newlands of California to
the Senate of the United States as
the representative of Nevada, is now
coming the baby act in type for said
Congressman Newlands of California
1t says " Mr. Newlands promised
nothing at all "
If we remember Alright the Cali
fornia Congressman was a going 20
build a storage reservoir on every
two-inch stream in Nye county and
in consequence Of said promise every
Indian in this district has taken pos
session of land along the little
streams, all awaiting the return of
the Foxy Francis to Washington,
when he will order the Government
to put its entire forces in this county
building reservoirs. If all the prom
Uses made by Newlands were printed
in book form the work would keep
the presses of the Journal running
day and night for a week New
lands has fooled the people who voted
for him, and realizing that he will be
a dead one in the Senate after he
takes his seat and that Nevada viii
not receive any recognition through
his efforts, he not being in touch with
the admins tration, endeavors to
further hOodwink the people of this
State by saying he made no prom
ises." What the California Congress
man should have honestly said in his
pronunciamento was that as your
Senator, representing Nevada, |
stand no more show for recognition
in the United States Senate than the
lasting time of SNOWFALL in hell
Newlands has never accomplished
anything for Nevada and never will.
But at the next election he will tell
you from the stump what he has
done for Nevada He was going to
give silver a big boost like mod
ern Joshua he was to command silver
to rise and it was to rise These
promises were all made before cleo
ton to fool the people and Foxy
Newlands did fool them. Hence his
statement that he made no prom
ises.

4 NINE INSPECTOR.

At the next session of the legisla-
ture bill to provide for a Mining
Inspector for the State of Nevada
will be introduced, and the BONANZA
hopes that the measure will meet
with approval. There is a necessity
for the regular official inspection of
mines, which will accomplish much
good for both the mines and the mine
owners. The most prominent gentle
man named for the place is }. J.
Owen, Of Tonopah. He is practi-
cal miner, very conservative, and
Just the man who would command the
respect of every mining corporation.
The life of a minor should not be
jeopardized by any company which
believes in cheap mining, thus offer
ing no protection to those who deIve
underground or descend a shaft.
Other mining states have created the
Office of mining inspector, and great
good has resulted therefrom,
