but what the people Of Tonopah should
object to and what the people should
investigate is whether or not the
money which is raised in the east is
being put in the pockets Of the pro-
moters or being put into the ground.
/ appeal to you and ] state to you,
that the people Of Tonopah do not
begin to realize the situation in the
east as do realize it, and it is cry
ing shame that the hundreds of
thousands of dollars that I know of
are going into the pockets of lot Of
promoters is not being put into the
ground to develop the possible rich
ness Of that great mineral country
between Liberty and Klondyke, Of
which Tonopah in the center.
I will gladly cooperate with the
people Of Tonopah, and I have taken
decided and rigorous stand in New
York. My stand has been SO vigor-
Gus and so decided that to-day |
have every broker and promoter
whose me thods have been the methods
of the get-rich-quick concern at my
heels, planning, scheming, barking,
biting, threatening, bulldozing an
trying to bluff me into submission
and into position in which | will say
nothing-their general cry being that
! am knocker, and that the brokers
in New York should all stand to-
gether for the interests Of the
brokers.
At the present time | am consult
ing with the New York Central and
Pennsylvania Railroads and trying to
get a reasonable rate for a special
train from New York City to Tono-
pah, leaving New York City the fifth
day OF October. I have invited the
representatives Of the leading New
York dailies and the leading weeklies
and magazines as guests of this ex-
cursion, and | have list of over 200
prominent investors and men inter-
ested in Tonopah who have signified
their intention to make the trip to
Tonopah. The question is simply a
question of expense. will guarantee
to bring special train from New
York to Reno and transport them to
Sodaville if the people will provide
their transportation to Tonopah from
Sodaville and entertain them in Ton
opah for five days. The itinerary
will be: One day in Reno; one day
in Virginia City; three days in Tono-
pan, being one day at Ray, one day
at Lone Mountain and one day at
Gold Mountain. | do not know that
it will be possible for me to bring
about this special train, owing te
what may be the possible cost to be
overcome, but will say that have
interested enough people in the east
who have expressed an intention te
gladly avail themselves Of that oppor.
tunity to make the trip to Tonopah
I want to say that the feeling re-
garding Tonopah in the east grows
day by day, and that Tonopah to-day
is absorbing the attention of the min
ing world, and were it not for the
very bad condition of the stock mar
ket in New York City, in Wall street
which unfortunately seems to govern
the specializing propensities of east
ern monied men, there would be ter
times the amount of money going into
Tonopah that there is.

Mr.. Graves said:
The problem OF the hour is not how

always will provoke lynching? The
answer which the mob returns TO this

Thanksgiving Exercises at the High
School.

The Thanksgiving exercises began
with a hymn and prayer led by Dr..
Sears.
Then DR.. Winston gave a talk about
Postum. He said, 81 think Postum
sounds more like what l mean than
Opossum; | think O'Possum must be
an Irish name"
Ia his speech, he said: There was
once a meeting Of all the animals and
the king Of the forest said he would
give a price to the one that would jump
the farth sst. The kangaroo with his
great legs jumped farther than the
rest; the king then cried, IL will give
the first prize to any one that can jump
farther still. Who can jump farther
than kangaroo ?' A little lazy animal
over in the grass, with a head like a
pig, a tail like a rat, and about the
bigness Of a cat, shouted out Pos
sum-" which is Interpreted, 81 can"
SO be climed up a tree and began
swinging backward and forward and
jumped farther than all the rest; they
called him after that, POSTUM"
DIR. Winston also said: Everybody
ought to say "Possum" when he comes
to anything hard. People are divided
into Possums and Non Possums, the l
cans and / can'ts.
The next was the meeting Ct the
Legislature. The bill was divided into
three sections, (1) Compulsory Educa-
ton; (2) Free Text Books: (3) Free Con-
veyances. The first section was passed /;
but the others were defeated.
Then all went to the Baptist church
to hear Mr.. Thompson preach Thanks
giving sermon. In the afternoon there
were football games, a tournament and
other athletic exercises.
