THE FUSION TICKET
Tonopah and Its Wonderful Riches Impress The Visitors
From The West

Carson & Colorado railroad on calm |
day, is pleasure trip; on windy day |
day it is the reverse.
Tonopah has a population of at
least $500. All of the necessaries and
many of the Injuries of civilization
can be procured, at reasonable ratees.
The buildings are all new, as the town
is not yet two years old, and several
of them are substantial The mines,
as far as developed, have produced
more ore than any ever before discov
cred in Nevada. There are at least
$50 miners at work, besides mechan-
least SIS per ton in gold and silver
values are piled on the dumps and
thrown aside for the present, as they
will not pay to ship. The town is sit
i uated on a part of the great lode or
lodes. which are at the base of Mount
| Oddie. The highest cone or peak in
! the vicinity. The formation in which
the veins are situated is prosphyrite.
Politically, from the best informa-
| ton attainable on the subject, Tono-
pah is for the Fusion State ticket by
a large majority. Probably 600 votes
or more will be polled and about 20
per cent Of the voters are Silver De-
mocrats.
James Sweeney, the Fusion 'nomi-
nee for Attorney General, was the
next candidate that had a taste OF
campaigning. He states that the poll
ception that the party received was q

the camp and he predicts a sweepins
victory for the ticket. At SCdavilie

that will put him far in the lead. Val
