Salt Lake Investors.

J. w. Langley, prominent mining
operator of Salt Lake city, passed
several days in an active investiga'
tion of Tonopah mining affairs and
prospects. In company with M. l..
Epperson of the same city, Mr..
Langley has secured what is gener-
ally regarded as very valuable
property situated northerly from the
central mining groups, upon which
he intends doing extensive develop
ment work The property is located
at Quartz mountain, on the well de-
fined mineral belt extending between
the great outcrops of Tonopah and
Ray. The selling parties are Lau-
renee Hoge, B. Prendeville, John F.
Cogan and T. j. Breen. The group
consists of fourteen claims, compris-
ing the Davis, Lost Boy, Bunker
Hill, Gladstone, Stoney Point, Golden
Horse Shoe, Telegraph, Quartz
Mountain, Valley Forge, Cobinsbire,
Hard Tack, Boer, True Tissue and
the Fraction. Mr.. Langley stated
that while he fully expected to OBJ
serve here fine showing of mineral,
the reality of Tonopah in its extent
and wonderfully high grade ores far
exceeds all his anticpations In fact,
he says, within the next few months
Tonopah district will undoubtedly be-
come the greatest gold and silver
producer in all the mining states and
territories.

NYE COUNTY SENATOR.

So far in the present session the
course of Senator Bell meets with the
approval Of his constituency, and
should he conclude to act in compli-
ance with the peoples demand in the
county seat removal matter, there is
nothing in the way of his future polit-
zeal preferment. Otherwise, other
wise. 1t gives bad look to things
when one man, vested in q little brief
authority, sets up his own judgment
against that of thousands of equally
responsible citizens in all respects
and who are in every way just as
much interested in the welfare and
progress of Nye county as he can
possibly be. The next campaign will
prove frosty blizzard for any aspir-
inp members of the legislature who
may now think that they know more
about what the overwhelming major
ity of the people of Nye want than do
the aforesaid people themselves.

Sad Death.

Mrs. j. A. Miller, wife of Senator
Miller, of Lander county, died in Oak
land last Monday night. The lady
has long been identified with the
social circles of Austin, where nota-
BILE charity and goodness of heart en-.
deared her to all. Many present
residents of Tonopab will learn of the
sad event with deepest grief, cou-
pied with sincere sympathy for the
afflicted husband.

Another "Write-UD."

1t is evident that the fame of Ton.
opah is spreading, when staid anG
conservative old Harpers Weekly
sends a commission here to prepare
a pictorial and text description OF
our mines and city, for presentation
to the world of readers of that publ
cation. The work is now in hand bv
Messrs. Douglas White and H. A.
French, two old and competent hands
at the business. They will doubtless
be accorded every courtesy and ac-
cess to all needed authorities by our
mining men, who are willing to sat
isfy the curious world with any fair
relation of the wonderful facts.

Don't Know Much.

The most interested citizen of Ton
opah knows less about the business
brought before and transacted by
their county commissioners than do
the people of any other county in Ne
vada in respect to the proceedings of
their own commissioners. This is
through no fault of the officers, but
ON account of the unfor tuna tie loca ton
of their meeting place.

The Majority.

As shown by the official returns of
the last general election the bona fide
electors cast exactly 500 more votes
than the combined precincts of all the
balance of the county. Shall the ma.
teriai interests of 695 voters and pos
sible lurymen be disregarded for the
sake of the thirty-six voters at Bel
mont? OF the 1859 other voters one
third reside nearer to Tonopah. If
the county seat is not removed to
Tonopah the majority does not rule
in this country

No Additional Taxes.

Tonopah pays over eighty per cent
OF the revenues of Nye county. I'm
der the tax levy for the current year
there will be ample surplus to cover
all expense of county seat removal
without imposing dollar of additional
tax upon the farming interests or
any one else. Tonopah pays the bull
lion tax, besides the levy upon two
thirds of the property valuation. Her
people are entitled to the presence
OF the governmental machine.

Looks Like Business.

Last Tuesday three carloads of f.
inch pipe, consigned to the Esmer-
aldy Con. Mines company, arrived in
Hawthorne. This is the first ms tall
ment of eleven miles of pipe to be used
to conduct water from Cottonwood
canyon to the Pamlico and Lapanta
mines. AS soon as the ground thaws
the work of digging the ditch will be-
gin, and by the time the pipe is laid
ground will be broken near the Pam.
leo mine for 2Ostamp mill. Then
Hawthorne district will again be a
hive of industry Aside from the
company's property, there are many
other claims that will pay to work
with mill near by The advent of
a mill and water in thorne dis
trict will be the means of putting 100
men to work, and the probabilities
are that many valuable mines will be
uncovered in the near future. -Bul-

Again i'm Luck.

About Z o'clock Thursday evening
fire was discovered in a room oecu-
pied as lodgings by a miner. 1t orig.
mated from the same old and very
common cause of fires in a mining
town-the candle and miners CANDLE
stick. In most places dire expert
ence has taught housekeepers enough
to etfectually bar them out, together
with any man who would use one in
his room. The blaze resulted in the
destruction of the mattress and bed
clothing, with some damage to wall
and ceiling. 1t was extinguished bv
prompt action with the small extin-
guishers, although Engine No. / was
on hand for service in case of need.

New Doctors.

DR.. c. c. Gleaves, physician and
surgeon, accompanied by DR.. A. D.
Gleaves, dentist, arrived from San
Francisco on Tuesday last. Both
professional gentlemen are brothers
of the late General Gleaves, U. S.
surveyor-general of California. They
express themselves delighted with
Tonopah and its bright outlook, and
have been fortunate IN securing offices
in the new Cutting building.

Off for Home,

Mr.. Jas. Morris, mining investor
in Tonopah stocks to the amount
of $4,000 and upwards, and
withal one of the best all-round
printers of either California Or Ne.
vada, left for his home in Reno on
Tuesday last. We anticipate that
country will become too slow. COM
paratively, for him in few months
when his return to this point may be
expected.

To TOnODah.

All roads lead to Tonopah. Resi-
dents from all over the southwestern
portions of Nye county are by exist
ing routes compelled to pass through
Tonopah whenever law or official
business requires their presence at
the county seat. 1t would be vastly
to their benefit if such business could
be transacted here at saving of
four or five days time and weary
unnecessary travel of eighty long
miles.

Enforced Emigration.

A considerable number of maouer.

no visible means of support and who
toll not, are taking departure from
Tonopah on the strength of invita-

the cases of several others are under
consideration by the Tonopah Law
and Order League, No. 707.

less there is a blaze in progress or
starting. Upon regular company

An Act of Justice.

A movement has been started !,
remove the county seat of Nye fro.
Belmont to Tonopah, and the matt.
is now in the hands of the Legislature
1t would be nothing more than a.
act of justice to make Tonopah tbe
county seat of Nye. The great ma
iority of the population of that co,ms
are located in that town, and it is !.
needless hardship that residents !,
Tonopah should have to make round
trip of 100 miles to attend TO b,,s;
ness requiring their presence at thu
county seat, when it is considerad
that so few people comparatively
speaking, live in other parts Of the
county. There being no doubt in the
world that an overwhelming prepon.
derance of the people of Nye county
are in favor of the change, we trust
that the delegations from Storey
bowling to that cardinal principal Of
the democracy, which seeks good Of
the many, will vote for the measure
removing the county seat Of Nye to

THE INDICATIONS.


Considered with only such lights
upon the subject as are generally
known, the engagement of John Hays
Hammond by the Tonopah company
implies a great deal for this section
The gentleman is an engineer of
world wide celebrity, whose prestige
is gained by actual success in some of
the most noted mining enterprises of
both hemispheres His connection
with the Tonopah mines may go far
toward convincing mining operators
generally that the future of Tonopah
promises and is as great as any one
mineral yielding country ever discov-
cred. This fact the managers of the
original Butler group have well IN
derstood all along and have made
haste slowly in calculating upon flu
ture conditions nearly as it is posi-
BILE to foresee them. Home reduc-
ton works must be established. cal
culated to handle in any quantity any
ore offered. The company has ex-
plotted nearby mines yielding wet
ores for fiuxing; it has purchased in
terests in the coal beds aud investi
gated every feasible source of water
supply. The all-important element
OF success contributed by unlimited
electric power was problem which
has been solved for them. a fact |
which the managing board will not
be slow to take advantage 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Hammonds
engineering abilities are also awaited
OF by several of. the most extensive
mining operations in the great basin.
and that he is consulting engineer
of the Southern Pacific railroad sys-
TEN. The implication is natural
then, that the Southern Pacific. hay-
ing the nearest tracks and far the
least outlay to accomplish the end,
will be the first to lay rails and run
trains into Tonopah.
The outlay of very large sum of
money is involved in the installation
OF adequate reduction works alone.
which in this case is merely a propor-
Tomato and necessary division of the
wealth now blocked out but left safe
" stored in the mines. Mr.. Ham
mond has been accus toned to large
operations, with practically unIim-
ted means at call. In his sphere and
the presence of the emf :
1ent engineer is notable acouisi, ;,
lion. The Tonopah company contin.
les its hold upon the confidence and T
support of this entire community i.
through the hearty sympathy of all .
he original owners of the property :
IS well as by the retention in man =
