NEVADA'S NEW "METROPOLIS."
Tonopah Now Boasts as Many as 6, 900
Inhabitants.
From Leslie's Weekly.

From Leslie's Weekly.
Nevada occupies a unique position among
the states. She has the smallest pOpula-
ton Of any. and population too small to
entitle her to statehood had she not al
ready been admitted into the Union. In
1854. when Nevada became q state. her
population was much larger than now:
and 1t was decreased by the departure to
other fields Of large number Of placer mi
ners. At the last census this state had In
all 1885 persons. This is $500 less than
the comparatively small city of Yonkers,
which is known only as a suburb Of New
York city. and has a population Of Il, 821.
Yet Nevada has its governor and lesfsia-
ture. and state officers and congressman,
and as many United States senators as
the state OF New York. which had, in 1900
7.26S.SA Inhabitants. And now a change
mas come to Nevada. and its population is
again increasing. The state has a new
rounced by TOnopah. the new mining town.
which now claims 5000 Inhabitants, or
more than Reno or Carson City.
Tonopah fs the metropolis of the Tono-
pah mining district. and has had scarcely
more than two years of prominence. The
town. moreover, Is growing, because the out
put Of the gold and silver in the district
Is increasing. George B. Mechem. the New
York broker. who is interested in the dis
trict. says that twelve strikes" or dis
coverfes of new veins of ore. have been
reported within the last month What is
known as the Tonopah district is a long
mineral belt or more properly a broad
strip. that extends from the Silver Peak
mine. owned by the John g. Blair estate.
to the Liberty mine. owned by the Cramps.
shipbuilders. This strip Is eighty miles
long. and last year It produced more than
100000 worth OF gold and silver. A rail-
road and water system are now being
extended to Tonopah. which will greatly
facilitate getting out and shipping the
ore. The Tonopah region is certain to
prove an important factor In the develop
ment Of the state. Additional discoveries
of precious metals. or the utilization Of
other natural resources. may yet result In
making Nevada q most prosperous and far
more densely popularissd commonwealth.

a "no-match'' game for the reason that
the winners scored such distinct and

was so great that final record could

GIVES COURT
UNDUE POWER
Governor Dole Vetoes
Administrator
Bill.

Governor Dole sent to the Legisla-
tures a veto message on the bill provid-
ing for public administrator. The
power given to these officials to take
possession of estates is wrong, the
Governor thinks. He says:
The two latter provisions give the
court undue power to take possession
of estates and pass them into the hands
of the Public Administrators, whether it
is for the interest of the heirs to have
such proceedings taken and the conse-
quent expense incurred or not; and
when it is considered that the clerk of
the circuit court-the appointee of the
circuit JUDGES to be ex-officio the
Public Administrator. and that he is
not required to give any further bond
other than his official bond as clerk,
except when real estate is to be sold,
the danger of these provisions and the
opportunity they afford to corrupt off,
Gals may be in some measure under
stood
in some parts of the mainland the
powers given to public administrators
by the laws afford them opportunities
to fleece the estates in their charge,
which are made the most Of Under
cover of ostensible legal charges for
commissions and fees, estates are rob-
bed to an extent that has caused the
services of Public Administrators to be
regarded as a calamity to be avoided
rather than benefit"
The governor says that the present
law is sufficient and just, but under
the new law a corrupt judge could
order the Public Administrators (his
clerk acting as such) to take immediate
