AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION
To Avoid Overcrowding ut the
Large Dances.

A correspondent sends US what
seems a practical solution of the
problem confronting the floor manage
ment at all large dancing functions.
At his request we publish the com
munication:
At all of our dances thus far given
in Tonopah, the pleasure of the even
ing has, in my estimation, been seri-
ously married by the fact that the
crowd was usually too large to rem
der dancing enjoyable. The methods
in vogue in the frozen northwest, |
would therefore ask you to call to
the attention OF your readers. AT
all of the great balls given in Alaska,
the men are divided into two sets or
classes. For convenience, the men
OF one set will wear white ribbon in
the button hole of the coat, while
those of the other will wear red
one. Each dance is then played in
two parts and either the one set or
the other may dance first. The ad.
vantages of this system are manifold,
since the floor is only half as crowded
as it would otherwise be, and the
ladies', who may dance at all times,
are thus assured a larger choice Of
partners and a more enjoyable even.
ing, Wherever this system has been
tried it has been found entirely sue
cessful and sincerely trust that, at
at the next dance given here, it may
be tested. Respectfully, M. ].

Insurance in TOnOpah.

Confagrations are common occur
rences in the lives of mining camps
and the fact that Tonopah has never
as yet suffered the ravages of seri-
Gus fire is regarded as unusual by
many of the old timers. This is gen
orally attributed to luck, although
some claim thatit is the direct result
OF the care which is the inevitable
result of inability to secure insurance.
A large property owner stated to
a representative OF the BONANZA
that he never carried insurance on
any of his houses, because the iso-
lated ones were the onl ones upon
which a policy could be secured,
while he felt that these were safe
enough to justify him in carrying the
risk himself. He further explained
that the immunity enjoyed by Tono-
pah from serious fire would not, in
his estimation, exist If insurance
could be generally secured. In ex-
patia ting upon the necessity of indi.
vidual effort in prevention of fires,
he even went so far as as to declare
that all mining camps would fare
better if no insurance whatever
could be had upon any property
therein.
There are practically no fire in
surance companies doing business
here at present. Two of the best
and most reliable companies, the
Connecticut and the London & Ian
cashire, have A. j. Condor for their
agent, but after writing a few Of
what they regard as choice risks,
these companies have practically
suspended operations until the install
lation of the fire protection which
incorporation promises.

PAYS $4,000 TO
STOCKHOLDERS
Montana-To Declares a
Dividend Of Five Cents
President Knox, Directors and Many
Stockholders Pleased Over the
COmpany's Showing.

Sunday December 20th is the DAY
set by the Montana Tonopah Mining
company for the payment OF their
dividend OF five cents a share upon
their full capitalization OF 1000, 900
shares. The books for the transfer
Of stock will be closed on Tuesday,
December 18th. This action was
decided upon at a meeting of the
company's directors held on Tuesday
morning, December LIST. The checks
will be payable at the following
banks: Mccormick & Co., Salt Lake;
Fourth Street National Bank, Phila-
delphia; American National, San
Francisco, and the Nye County Bank,
Tonopah.
In this connection, it is interesting
to note that this $4,000 distrib-
uted among its stockholders repre-
sents the accumula ton, above all
running expenses, from the actual
sale of ore. 1t may be added that
this ore has been removed entirely in
the process OF development, as no
STOPPING has yet been done on the
lodges of this mine.
The management of the Montana
Tonopah intends to keep the enter
prise on the same economical basis,
and if the dividend just declared may
taken as a criterion, as Secretary
Dunlap declares it may, it is not
unreasonable to assume that from
now on a good and steady income
will accrue to those holding the stock
OF that company.
The company contemplates some
important improvements upon which
definite decision has not yet been
reached. 1t has, however, been con
cluded to sink the present shaft 100
deeper and to erect steam hoist to
supplant the gasoline hoist now in
use. The directors of the company
feel just satisfaction in the fact
that they are enabled to distribute
$50, 900 among their stockholders
before the erection of the reduc tion
works or the completion of the con-
templated railroad. 1t is pertinent
in this connection to record that a
single car of Montana Tonopah ore
sent to Reno Melted the company
$22, 22647 after subtracting all
expenses of transportation and re-
duction.
Charles E. Knox the president Of
the company, has been paying visit
to Tonopah for the purpose of con
sulting with the others interested and
determining the best methods for
the future conduct of the company's
affairs. He left the city last Wednes-
day, the day following the directors

Dance Next Wednesday Night.

At a meeting of the Argenta club
last Wednesday evening at the home

upon was next Wednesday evening,
December 9th, at Miners Exchange
hall, and all of the club members and
a few invited guests will attend. The
entertainment will begin promptly at
eight o'clock and close at midnight.
The members assembled last We'd

which some new names proposed for
membership were considered.
