SILVER GOES UP.

The increase of some thing like l0c.
per ounce in price of silver within
the last sixty days is causing great
rejoicing among silver mine owners
everywhere Its effect is felt in
every silver producing state-Colora-
do, Montana, Arizona and Nevada.
The local result of this rise in the
price of the metal means an increase in
value of from s. to $50 per ton upon
all of the silver ore which is here on the
dumps awaiting the instalment of the
reduction mill. The Los Angeles Min,
ing Review in expressing its elation
over the fact that the Cinderella Of
metals is coming into her own de-

LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TONOPAH
TONOPAH'S GREAT FUTURE.


That Tonopah is destined to become
one of the greatest mining camps in
the world is thoroughly understood
by those conversant with the real
rather than with the apparent con
ditions. Each week brings its re-
ports of marvellous strikes in the
various mines, and while the outside
world is excusable for failing to COM
prehend why these discoveries of
greater values fail to enhance the
selling price of the stock, it is re-
markable that anyone who has inveS-
tigated should fail to grasp the real
condition The present low price of
stocks in all Tonopah mines is due to
the fact that many of the holders OF
these purchased beyond their means,
believing that reduc ton and trans
portation facilities would be immedi
ately installed, thereby enhancing the
values of their holdings. A need of
ready cash has since forced many OF
these investors to sacrifice their stock
and as result the selling price of
treasury stock set apart by these
organizations for development pur-
poses has taken a corresponding
slump, which no report of new strikes
seems able to overcome. 1t seems,
too, that the San Francisco Tonopah
Stock Exchange is partly responsible
for the low price of our mining stocks,
in that it has facilitated the sacrifice
OF stocks in the hands of individual
holders Those persons whose faith
in the future of Tonopah brought
them in here as pioneers, and has
caused them to make all sacrifices in
order to hold the stock which they
have purchased, are the ones whom
sentiment would like to see grow rich
through the development of the camp
and the best part of it is that they
are those whose wisdom and foresight
will be translated into wealth, and
that in very short time. The rail
road is now an assured fact, and
will be in full opera ton by the middle
of next March, and the reduction
ton works will be in running order
within ten months. The former
means decrease in the cost of all
lumber, tools aud mining materials
to about one-fifth of their present
price, while the latter means that
millions of dollars worth of ore now
lying on what welfare accustomed to
class as low grade dumps will imme-
diately become immensely prof table.
1t is the avowed intention of those
interested in the reduction works to
provide amill adapted to and capable
of reducing all of the ore which can
be produced by this and surrounding
camps, and as the intention is to
handle ore automat caly and in the
most economical way great results
may logically be anticipated. When
it is remembered that, under the
present condition, ore valued at $3.50
offers little or no profit to the com
panies extracting it, and that with
the reduction works and railroad in
operation ore valued at $40 per ton
will show good profit, the cold cal.
cuator who views these facts dis
passionately is excusable for INDUCING
in roseate dreams about the tran
scendent future of Tonopah.

HON. {. D. VAN DUZER
BACK IN TONOPAH
COngressman.elect Speaks Of Conditions
in East and Future of TOnOpah.

Hon. c. D. Van Duzer, congress
man elect, returned from Washington
Yesterday and will remain in Tonopah
until Tuesday next. He intends to
visit all the district and mines, so he
will have the latest Information for
the inquiring easterner on his return.
Mr.. Van Duzer has been east six
months, spending his time delivering
lectures and interesting investors.
He has also taken a trip through the
coal regions, studying labor questions
and has visited the New England
factory districts.
When questioned as to the eastern
investors estimate of Tonopah, Mr..
Van Duzer gave some interesting and
comprehensive statements, the sub
stance of which follows:
The people of the east, he said,
have great faith in Tonopah In
public contidenceit stands first among
American mining camps. The unpre-
cedented conditions in financial circles
have generally retarded investment,
however. The fact is that Tonopah
is about the only mining camp that is
attracting the investing public to
any extent The better classes Of
Tonopah stocks are held from Port
land, Ne to Atlanta, Ga, Pennsyl-
vania and Delaware leading in in
vestors.
There is general inquiry about mills,
railroads and dividends, but the con
tinual strikes made ia the camp and
the phenomenal bodies of ore which
are being uncovered keep up faith
aud the public are holding on.
New York is a poor mining center.
The New Yorker lives on the out
slider. He is seller not buyer and
the average investor in New York is
welded to Wall street and would
prefer fading margins to mining divi'
dends.
Philadelphia and Pennsylvania are
better mining centers, where the
conservative public buys for invest
ment rather than for speculation.
Tonopah has not yet attracted the
attention of Boston though Pittsoura
is readily inquiring about Nevada
mines,
Tonopah has served to direct the
attention of the money world to Ne
vada, and such capital as is ready fol
investment is eagerly inquiring fol
Nevada properties.
At the present time the east is
suffering from severe financial de
preston. 1t is however, the rich
mans panic; in 1893 it was the poor
mans panic In that year the New
York banks called on the country
+ and the country banks called on theil
, patrons, most OF whom were in debt
This year the Mississippi farmer has
, bank account. Crops have beer
excellent in the middle west and cot
ton is selling high in the south, the
result being that good times exist
there.
The late crashes in Wall street
have swept away many fortunes
frightened investors, shaken public
confidence, and there is general rel
trenchment, which means a light
market The worst, Mr.. Van Duzel
believes, is yet to come this winter
1t is understood in Philadelphia
that the Tonopah company intends
immediate construction of the rail
road and on its completion will bt
ready to erect large milling plant

A WARNING FROM
HEALTH OFFICERS
How TO Bring About Sanitary Conditions
and Avoid Sickness.

To THE CITIZENS OF TQNoPAu:-
A few words of caution seem impera.
tive at this time, relative to the
existing conditions, both of the health
of the community and the sanitary
status of the town,
While there does not exist an epi.
demic of typhoid fever in our midst,
as some of the usual "croakers'
would have US believe, still there are
cases enough to make it essential
that we should, individually and col
lectively, do all in our power to avoid
the spread of the disease.
The cause OF the trouble is the I'm.
sanitary condition of the town. Two
years ago we suffered from fearful
epidemic, and, as will be remembered
| by all who were residents at that
time, the prompt and &C tive measures
taken by the citizens to obtain better
sanitation stopped the spread Of the
disease almost in day. 1t was done
by steaming every water barrel in
the town for thirty minutes, and by
the free use OF lumigating materials
and disinfectants. To-day it is in
our power to avoid another deplora.
BILE condition of affairs, if every citizen
will but constitute himself a commit.
tee of one and do his duty to himself
aud family
That all may understand what is
needed at this time, the following
program is given, and the strict
observance of the same is most earn
estly urged:
FIRST Scald your water barrels
thoroughly. Take water only from
drivers who have done the same with
the barrels or tanks in which they
deliver the water
SECOND. See that the vault Of your
closet is not less than four feet below
the surface Of the ground.
THIRD. Carefully clean your yards,
, removing all decaying matter 90,
, tain metallic can, with "a cover, to
be used as a receptacle for all refuse
and when necessary, have the same
, taken well away from the town limits
|, and emptied.
Above all things-have no stagnant
water nor cesspool~ about
After these instructions have been
followed make free use OF chloride Of
lime or some equally efficient disin-
fectant in all places where there has
been filth, and typhoid fever in Tono-
pah will be thing Of the past,
1t might be well to state, that two
special sanitary inspectors have al
ready visited every yard in town,
aud have reported numerous condi.
, tons needing attention and in almost
: every case the owner, or leaser, has
responded promptly in trying to
rectify the wrong.
If there should be man who thinks

Importance, he will be prosecuted for

INSPIRED BY MALICE.

The Carson News comments with
far more feeling than regard for the
truth upon what 1T alleges to be the
report of John Hays Hammond upon
Tonopah. 1t seems that Mr., Ham
mond was sent here by the interests
he represents with instructions to
report upon feasible plan for re-
ducing the ore of the camp. lie dld
so and those who employed him were
satisfied 1t seems, however, that
his report was an unequivocaI failure
in so far as pleasing the Carson News
was concerned. The journal in ques-
ton pays no part of Mr., Hammond S
salary, and yet it wakes wroth be-
cause he did not rhapsodize over the
minerals of every mine in Tonopah.
1t then draws the sinister deduc-
ton that this fact is proof positive
that the Tonopah company, which
employs Mr.. Hammond, is seeking to
hammer down the stocks OF other
mines and absorb them cheapy.
Nothing could be more assinine than
all of this gratuitous assumption upon
the part of the News, unless it be
the supreme idocy which causes it to
declare the big company Tonopah 5
greatest enemy. AS a matter of
fact, the Tonopah Mining company,
through its stockholders, is doing all
inlts power to help realize the highest
development of Tonopah. The re-
duction works and railroad which
these gentlemen are building depend
for their success very largely upon
the entire camps prosperity. Every
gigantic enterprise, however, has It's
detractors who often seek to annoy
it with litigation in the hope of gain.
In the case of the Carson paper, it is
too apparent that the editorial com
ment emanated from the cerebelum
of some disgrunted claim Jumper
whose expressed sentiment is merely
the automatic result of his disap
poin tment,
