HOME FROM
The CAMP
wills BR0UGHER RETURNS
FROM NYE COUNTY
It Looks Better as the Days Go

BY
Wills Brougher, one of the heavy iii
vestors in Tonopah, both in mining
ventures and property has returned
to this city. His visit was to look ov-
er the ground and see what improve
ment had been made in the past few
months. That he comes home we'll
pleased can be seen as soon as he
comes in sight.
In speaking of the camp and its
future he said:
"Tnonpah is all right. She IL a. tri-
fle dull at present, but that has to be
expected, as the summer months are
on and no man feels like hustling
with the Thermometer away up in the
air. The mines are looking better
than they ever did and it is safe to say
that the mineral taken from the!
ground will exceed any camp in the
State when it is developed.
Some people have been complain
ing about the action of the Tonopah
company. They have no complaint
coming. The work that has been
done is the best kind and the devel-
opment is being made in a scientific
manner. The company only ships
enough of the ore to pay the running
expenses. and allow the ore that is
sacked on the dump is like so many
twenty dollars pieces.
AT the present time freighting is
a trifle slow, - many of the leasers
have cleaned up their ore and the
company is OILY shipping a small
quantity building is booming.
There is not enough lumber in the
camp to keep the carpenters going
while a dozen more houses are plan.

"Of course the bringing of water
and power is what is waited for just
now. The surveyors have about com
pleted their work, and then will come
the letting OF contracts for the pipe
All this takes time, and when the
work is done Tonopab will be an en-
tirely different town. Water will make
and trees grow there the same as il
does in this city, and when this hap
pens the camp will be as good a place
to live in as any in the State. Witt
electric power on the ground the
mines will be able to put morc orr
out than could possibly happen in tn,
present case. Even with power an.
water in the town, it is goirs to TAX,
time to make the improvement tina
will be necessary. The whole Tono
pah proposition is one OF the lagos
that has confronted Nevada in her his
tory. While the camp made NOR
poor men rich than any camp yet dis
covered yet the men that reaped tn
benefits are not satisfied and many Q
them are on the ground looking for al
other chance to dig for treasure. TIL
news of strikes comes in every da
and while many of them are not true
enough have been verified to max
any man believes that the Tonopa
section is one of the richest miners
belts in the whole universe.
Another thing. made the trip I

that is surprising ly rich. l belle,
that Tonopah has h:i more to 4
with the mining and business reviv
Of Nevada, than any one thing in II
State 1t takes the mines to boo
the farmer, and from this date on
looks like both parties are in bu:
ness for keeps"
