First Election Held in TOnOpah.

The election held in Tonopah Friday
for mining recorder was significant in
more ways than one. r. C. Gordon,
the old-time miner and prospector,
whom everyone knows and respects,
defeated Mr.. A. G. Cushman, gen
tleman in every sense of the word,
who has passed the winter in Tono-
pah, making friends with everyone
who has had the pleasure of his
acquaintance. ...
The election passed off without a
word of friction, the most pleasant
relations being manifest on both
sides. Gus" voted for Bob, who
returned the compliment The only
objectionable act was committed by
Sam Forman in his efforts to vote a
Chinaman. And the editor of the
BoNANZA-what didn't he do that
afternoon; we are sworn to secrecy,
else disclosures would be imminent.
Even "Old Bill did bit of sly wire
pulling.
One important fact that will be i'm
pressed upon the voters of Tonopah,
and will be noted all along the line
from the Z. S. Senator down to the
local Office seeker, IS that when this
camp can poll 628 votes in an election
for mining recorder without any aC-
vertising in the matter, and our pop
ulation growing each day, we will
probably cut some figure in the
elections this fall. We believe Tono-
pah will receive such recognition at
that time as is her due.
Speaking of smooth manipulators
around polling place, Sam Forman,
j, r. Dutfield, Jack Salsberry and
Dan Fitzpatrick are a quartet of
hustlers hard to beat.
Thos. Egan, the retiring mining
recorder, has turned over the books
of his Office to his successor, r. G..
Gordon Tom made good recorder
and performed creditably all the
duties incumbent upon him.
Jim McCambridge is "a star per-
former at an election in securing
votes. Candidates for Office at future
elections would do well to secure
Jim's services in advance, for when
Jim gets through telling voter the
points of excellence his candidat e
possesses he has made "a convert of
him.

Great Rush to Thunder Mountain.


SPOKANE wash }. April "A Sites Idaho
special to The Sp0kesman-Review says Sam
irwin. an old-tme prospector. arrived from
Thunder Mountain Today. He says -four, sugar
and salt are selling in the camp for 81 per pound
but fresh beef can be bought for Is cents per
pound and the supply is plentiful.
From zoo to l-UD men are now in the camp
and the new arrivals number from sixty to sew
enty daily. coming from all directions. The
hrat pack train to arrive this winter broke its
way through the snow this week. Irwin says
trails are now pretty well opened
Judging from the above news
paper clippings, the conditions that
60 to make great mining camp, or
better to attract the transient popu-
lation of the western States and
create boom, must be based en-
tirely upon the physical conditions of
the mining camp itself, as in the case
of Thunder Mountain.
A similar condition of affairs ex-
isted in Alaska and the Klondike.
These very remote and almost mae
cessible countries inaccessible from
the shortness of the seasons and the
hardships undergone TO reach them
seem to allure men in manner
unaccountable We could recount
the great perils and the hundreds of
lives lost IN the mad rush into the
frozen north, but recital of every
tragedy enacted in that gold-seeking
drama would not prevent men from
doing over again their same parts,
Nor could the same men who were
leaders in these stampedes be induced
to expend the same energy or like
sum of money in an enterprise nearer
home, and one that they could see
the working of and supervise its
management.
Thunder Mountain is another and
the latest excitement to attract men
IA country covered with snow and
ice for eight months in the year and
with pack trails as the only means of
ingress to the camp and during the
summer months the mountain streams
changed to veritable torrents. Would
line of comparison between Thun-
der Mountain and Tonopah have the
effect of turning one single man from
the cold, snow, ice and rains of that
far interior, mountain bound Edo
RADIO? We think not. But we do
believe that when the fall months
begin and the miners and prospec tors
are driven from Thunder Mountain
and vicinity that there will be the
greatest influx of people to Tonopah
that mining town has ever ex-
perienced.
If we could transfer the mineral
wealth of Nevada to the barren
coasts of Siberia or to the fever
breeding swamps of the Philippines.
men would become insane in their
desire to reach the golden treasure.
But here under our own sunny skies
with the most favorable climatic con
ditions, where man can work or
prospect the entire twelve months in
the year, men seem to fail in their
appreciation of our most favorable
surroundings.
But the time is not far distant
when the mineral wealth of our State
will bring about recognition that
will place her in the front rank of the
ore producers, and thousands of fam.
lilies will find happy homes in the
Sagebrush State-the workinyman's
Paradise.

Is used by many woman who dislikes
it. But what is she to dor Her skin
is marred by eruptions, and it is only
human nature to desire to hide such
defects from the ordinary glance. A
much better thing to do is remove the
cause of eruptions-bad blood. This
is done perfectly and permanently by
the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t purifies the blood, cleans
ing it from poisonous substances which
cause disease. 1t cures pimples, &C.
zema, letter, boils, scrofula, sores, cry
sipelas and other eruptive diseases
which are caused by the impure con-
dition of the blood.
