Several principal owners in the
SodaviIle and Tonopah Telephone
and Telegraph company have
assured the BONANZA that their
company property has been brought
to the basis of an actual dividend
payer, and that some time ago. The
statement is made anent an article
in the last issue, in which the Crystal
Water company was referred to as
being the first Tonopah incorpora
ton to declare dividend. In court
parlance, "the exception appears to

PASSED THE Httsf'

Yesterday the assembly passed
unanimously the bin removing the
county seat Of Nye from Belmont TO
Tonopah. In view Of the obstruction
offered In the senate, the prompt ana
undivided action Of the house is noted
here with the most appreciatlve
thanks and gratitude. The people
Of Tonopah respect the assembly ana
their member thereof.
The fact that nine tenth oil the peo-
pie of Nye county do not respect MT
Bell. their member of the senate
NAV be stated with equal force ii
that gentleman were in position to
offer any tenable reason or argu-
ment in opposition to the removal OF
even If he could set up that such
change would in any degree tend to
detriment of his individual interests,
his course were possibly excusable !;
as the matter stands, his defiance OF
his constituency is not. While 1t Is
not to be supposed that any senator
would or can consider himself bound
not to act upon any fairly proposed
legislation on account of having been
solicited not to do so, we are none
the less critical of Mr.. Bell for his
having made such attempt. There
was an efforl to stifie the people s
voice and suppress their will by sur
reptitious contract, in the way of q
general agreement that no county
seat matter should be considered
during this session Comment upor
such method of disposing of public
questions is unnecessary.

In the elucida ton of some Incl
dental pointers about its boom of
Lower Tonopah" the Reno Gazette
gravely imparts some astonishing in
formal on, thusly:
1.-The Gazette has been asked sew
eral times where Lower Tonopah is
located. 1t is forty miles, the way
the crow flies, southwest of Tonopah,
Nye county, Nevada, just across the
line in Inyo county, California, in the
Alabam range of mountains, Going
there from Reno you take the v q
T. to Mound House, then the G. Il G.
for either Big Pine, Reward or Lone
Mountain station"
The totally unwarranted coupling
of the Tonopah name to the old Ala
bama district, in California. which
was cotemporaneous with Virginia
city and Aurora, is enough to branC
the whole business as a fraud. "A>

FUTURE QUOTA.

Both houses of the legislature have
passed the bill apportioning three
assemblymen to Nye county, which
will give us something of standing
at the next session. In all proba-
bility the representation will be dis
proportionate even then, but among
them there will never again be man
so obstinately opinionated and fool
hardy as to defy the unanimous senti-
ment of his constituency, as in the
Bell episode.

THE ISSUE.

Tn the l0tn lnSbant hoo'hio'J ~
McCabe introduced the brief bill
which when it becomes a law, will
place the county seat of Nye at Iono-
nah In its routine course 1t was re-
ferred to the Nye county delegation,
which is constituted solely of the H.
PRODUCER of the bill
Such is the universal recognition oil
the necessity of the measure, espe-
cially among the members OF the
lower house, who we're chosen at the
last election, that the BONANZA has
M fear of its success in that body.
Nor should there be any danger OF its
defeat in the senate, notwithstanding
the possible opposition of the hold
over senator who constitutes the Nye
county delegation in the upper house
of the legislature. The number OF
senators who have fair idea of the
condition of public affairs in this
county should be so great that no de-
lays or pigeonholing tactics can pre-
vail. In fact, all details bearing
upon the subject having been SC
thoroughly presented by this paper
and by the representative citizens
sent to Carson for that purpose, II
must be that every senator under
stands by this time the business Of
the step, the overwhelming demand
therefor, and the absolute folly O
seriously hindering the progress o
this mining center, which a defea
would certainly do.
The people of this city, who unani
mously petition for the removal, hav
no idea whatever of contracting deb
or even of expending more than tn
smallest possible sum for the erection
of county buildings, Beyond a fire
proof vault, just such as almostever.
business house in Tonopah has al
ready provided for itself, in which t
preserve the priceless records an
the county funds, there is no call o
necessity for more than the mos
economically built and unpretentlou
structure. Being well assured {
this fact, we are glad to state tina
there comes no voice in oppositio
from the tax payers of any part
the county. There is practically n
opposition, the demand for chang
of the location of the county seat be
ing more unanimous than any othe
instance of the kind on record. |
view of all the conditions and circun
stances, the BONANZA hopes to fin
that there will be no votes recorde
against the measure when it sha
come up for final action by the ser
ate. And sensiby enough, Their
has been no exceptions taken to Tor
opah as the future county seat on az
count of it's being near the count
line, no more than against Carso
City as the state capital on the sam
count. Business, population an
accessibility, not geographical lines
constitute the centers.

ToNopAtI RAILROAD.

TuNupAH RAILROAD.
our country contemporaries
without any very definite Information
upon the subject, have placed IN the
field corps of surveyors on the line oil
the railroad destined to connect Ton
opah with the world, The BONANZA
has been content to bide its time, and
without undue previousness announce
the facts which it knew were rapidly
maturing.
We have stated that a railroad
would be laid to Tonopah this season,
and naturally by the shortest and
most feasible route, for which nature
has provided an inexpensive way
between this city and point on the
Carson and Colorado railroad at or
near Rhodes Marsh. While we are
not at present at liberty to give the
names of the prime movers, we may
state that the Southern Pacific com
panv does not necessarily have any
thing to do with the projection.
During the present week there was
placed in Tonopah bank more than
ample means to pay for all prelimin-
airy surveying and engineering ex-
penses. in the United States cur
rency of eastern CAPITALISTS large
roll of larger denominations, as our
inspection proved.
The solid promoters of Tonopah are
not building transcontinental roads
or important connecting links" just
now. But this local road will prove
of ines timable benefit to this entire
portion of the state in Esmeralda
county the volume of business anC
property valuations will be more
than doubled along all lines. The con
struction of this road is of more i'm
port to Tonopah than was the build
ing of the Virginia and Truckee to the
Comstock, for that drew no "bacl
country" support. The Tonopah roat
will create here base of supplies fo
an enormously rich mining region ex
tending in every direction. This vii
locate here the loading point of
greater number of big teams am
stages than are now in operation, il
response to the demand created b
the steady opening of new camps.
| Fortunately, the law-making bod
t of Nevada is now in session, and W
apprehend that the majority thereC
: are not insensible to the part Tone
e pah has played in the general reviv;
t throughout the state. Within fe'
e days the legislature will be asked t

Dan Barnell had a thrilling ride through the air last night and very fortunate ride it was. It was so dark and cloudy that it was impossible to tell just where he was when he want ed to descend and when he did land he found himself and his balloon in Warren l.. Hall's peach orchard on the road to Southington. Usually he is able to fasten the balloon to some tree or post, but last night he landed among some rocks and he was dragged over these for short distance. The balloon got away from him, but he saved himself from any serious injury. Later the balloon was found some dis tance away. Bdrneu was bruised a trife, but will be all ready for his next ascension. Tomorrow afternoon the ladies. and children will have an op- portunity to see a double ascension. Dan Barnell and his wife will ascend together and this will be the last trip during the week. It will be sight worth going miles to see and will un- doubtedly attract thousands up to the park.

 Sir Thomas Iipton was the first of the owners to return, coming back on the Erin with his 100 or more guests. He was busy but stopped to say: 'No, I am not in the least disappointed with my boat or its efforts.
