To See TonOpah.

During their presence at Tonopah,
New, for which camp Senator
Kearns and party, who departed
during the day, will drop down into,
all of the properties and some of the
prospects, the result of their obser-
vations to be awaited with not a
little interest by local interests in
the great camp of silver and gold.
While superficial examination of the
camp has been made by John Hays
Hammond, with expert inquiry by
some of his staff, in Senator Kearns,
the general manager, and Hon.
David Keith, the president of the
great Silver King, of Park City, the
camp will recognize the presence of
gentlemen who have mastered the
minutest knowledge of ores and
their occurrences, the minutest de-
tails of mining as a science. Al
ready these gentlemen have acquired
the Halifax group at Tonopah,
through which they are sounding the
great zone to depth greater than
has been undertaken by the neigh
bors, and while the extraction Of
ore has not been begun at the Hall
fax, those promoting its development
are not in the least uneasy concern
ing its ultimate productiveness. A
story exploited during the day that
the party had gone to Tonopah for
the purpose of examining another
group of claims, with a view of pur-
chasing them, was emphatically de-
MED by those familiar with the pro
gramme Salt Lake Tribune.

The Tamblyn Strike.

The recent discovery of rich ore
by Messrs. Tamblyn and Van Patton
on the east side of Lone Mountain.
has attracted considerable attention
and quite a number of people visited
the new strike the past week. At
the present writing the property has
been sunk on to a depth of twenty
feet, and with every shot the ore
seam has grown wider and richer.
and now carries values running as
high as $500 to the ton in gold and
silver, the latter predominating. In
appearance the ore somewhat resem-
bles that of the Mizpah and is differ.
ent from anything heretofore found
in the Lone Mountain section. The
formation OF the country roundabout
is porphyry, highly mineralized, and
it shows every evidence of being the
depository of vast bodies of minerals
1t is understood that the discoveries
of the new find have been offered
$50, 600 for their interests. but they
have such faith in their property
that they have refused to let 90.

FAIR ESTIMATE
BY A COLORADAN
Interview With Journalist of Colorado
Springs on TOnOpah.

James +. O'Brien, who arrived in
Tonopah some three weeks ago, in
the interest of the Daily Mining
Record of Colorado Springs, has de-
cided to locate here permanently and
grow up with the camp. In a con-
versation with a BONANZA reporter,
Mr.. OBrien said:
Before l came to Tonopah | had
considerable difficulty in getting au-
thentic information about the camp,
but when did secure information it
was always the same story-big
Lodges of high grade ore ia the
mines, and wonderful showings in
prospects for many miles around.
From the sources of my information
| could not doubt the correctness of
the same, but still it did not seem
possible that it could be true and at
the same time that Tonopah should
be so little known, comparatively, in
the outside world.
I'll my information was correct,
figured that Tonopah must be, for its
age and development, the greatest
mining camp ever discovered In its
literary aspects alone the story of
great mines and mining camps has
such facination for the reading
public that it is usually seized upon
with avidity by writer's and the
names soon become household words.
Such was not the case with Tohopah.
Apparently it was a world beaten
and yet beside of San Francisco,
Salt Lake and Philadelphia, its
merits were little realized. | could
not reconcile the two things and
come here in a Missouri frame of
mind. However, have been shown
and am now thoroughly convinced
that Tonopah is the center of a dis
trict which will in the next few years
add millions upon millions to the
world S supply of the precious metals.
| have been through the Mizpah and
Belmont mines and in those alone |
saw enough ore to make a great
camp, Through the kindness of
Manager Oddie, who, by the way. is
a prince of good fellows, ! was per-
mitted to take samples for assay and
so do not have to take another's
word as to the value of the ore. In
addition | have seen rich ore from
the Montana Tonopah and others
close in, besides fine specimens from
Gold Mountain, Grandpa, Ray, Lone
Mountain, Cloverdale, Liberty and
several other districts tributary to
Tonopah. A man would indeed be
who could fail to see that
Tonopah's future is assured. In the
two years past it has made fortunes
Tor many men, but the future has
much more in store. The world has
been slow to learn of Tonopah's
greatness-or rather, the people of
ronopah have been slow to tell it
out facts are facts and sooner or
alter mining men and investors will
'eallze that in and about Tonopah
hey have the chance of their lives.
It looks good to me and / have de-
'ided to tie to it. "

LARGEST CIRCULATION IN T0NOPAH
DISTRICT COURT.

Judge Breen will resume the con-
tinued term of court, at Belmont, on
the 18th instant. Several impor-
tant cases will be tried The grand
jury will resume session and receive
report of the experts employed to
examine the county books. 1t is
stated again, and by good authority,
that startling discrepancies have
been found in the financial accounts
and that sensational results will fol-
low. 1t has beea sixteen years since
any competent authority or agent Of
the people has passed upon the
county accounts. 1t appears posi-
BILE that, except for the dawning of
Tonopah that sort of public indiffer-
ence and actual insecurity might
have continued for sixteen years
more, accompanied by county bank
ruptcy and oblitera tion from the
map. The present set of officials
could not have had any clear balance
sheet to set out with, and in all pro-
liability the new auditor and the
treasurer simply took stock of what
cash there might have been turned
over and let it go at that. What
ever the outstanding liabilities may
be, the present heavy tax levy will
no doubt cover and liquidate, but
that is no reason for release of the
bondsmen of officials of the previous
term if it proves that shortages
exist. The taxpayers and people of
Tonopah are deeply concerned in the
conduct of county affairs, but to
meet local situation here the Bo-
MANIA advocates incorporation.

man, now in Tonopah, that that
famous gold and silver tablet, made

remains at that celebrated caravan

his secretary had had previous ex-

usually made of half of a pumpkin, the
inside of which is lined with straw
work, something after the manner OF
a cork helmet. The better class OF
boys in from the provinces usually
dress in light duck, with hats of sina-

up with a cockade.
In their Filipino country
boys are much like American boys
from the rural districts. They walk
along the Escolta in Manila, where the
big stores are, and stare with wonder
at the grand displays. When you
speak to them they blush red over
their brown cheeks, and they tack on
a "senor" to every answer they give
you.

more confusing than ever, for in the
Philippines there are greater varie-
ties of children than in any other
and.
There are black tots with kinky
lair, brown babes with straight, black
hair, children with brown hair and
coppery faces and cream-colored faces,
and even angelic looking youngsters
with golden curls and blue eyes-all
natives, born under the tropical
banana leaves, of native parents. The
children with fair hair and skin are,
of course, Spanish c~reoles, but when
they grow up they are as much Fill
pinos as their darker brothers; just as
patriotic; just as firm in the belief
that these islands constitute the most
i. beautiful country on earth, and the
only one really worth considering,
politically and geographically.
Then there are mestizo children
the half caste Spaniards and natives.
or sometimes Chinese. There is a
large coming generation of Chinese
half castles. The Chinese merchants
have never been allowed to bring
their women with them, and conse-
~quently they have nearly all married
native women, and their children are
numerous. The young insurgent
leader, General Paua, was half Chi
nese, and many of the other prominent
revolutionists, including Aguinaldo
himself, have a strong strain of Celes.
