TROUBLE FOR TONOPAH.

So far as the United States govern
Elent map now on file in the United
States land Office at Carson City
shows, it appears that the entire
town of Tonopah, as well as the
greater part of its valuable mines,
are in Esmeralda county.
From a diagram shown the Senti-
mel this week, purporting to be based
upon the above map, the north and
south dividing line seems to run as
follows:
Commencing at the south, it runs
diagonally through the Tonopah Com
pany property, and thence north
westerly through the Stone Cabin,
Desert Queen, Mizpah, Lucky jim,
along the east side line of the Cam
pierre and Silver Top mines, touching
the southwest corner of the Little
Tonopah, thus leaving the entire bus
mess portion of the town many hun
dreds of feet to the west and in
Esmeralda county.
Should the government map be cor
rect, the complications and almost
endless litigation it will give rise to,
unless the cool heads of both the in
terested counties take hold of the
helm, will be enormous.
So far as the camp is concerned
the new boundary line will of course
cut no figure. 1t will not take from
nor add a pound of ore to its mines.

LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TONOPAH
WHERE WE ARE AT.

The Tonopah Miner SCOTS at the
idea that Tonopah may be in Esmer-
aida county, basing its opinion on
statements made by Engineer Sin
clair, of the government survey party.
The Miner may be correct, but if so
an authentic copy of the government
map, shown to US this week, is wrong.
We believe that when Tonopah finds
where it is at, it will be contribut-
ing to the support of Esmeralda.
The prospect opens up a big field for
speculation as to effect on litigation,
past and pending; taxes heretofore
collected. and so forth.
The Inyo Register published this
squib couple of weeks ago, and the
Miner last week, in its usual know-all
fashion, sought to disprove its cor
rectness by referring to data and
informa ton which it received nearly
year ago, and which could not be
relied upon then and cannot now.
The fact of the matter is that every
one who has seen the new government
map at Carson is of the opinion that
Tonopah is in Esmeralda county, and
nine tenths of the people of this town
believe it and wish that it prove the
case.
Among the members of the Tonopah
bar who have examined the map
mentioned and given it as their opion-
ion that we are in Esmeralda county
are George A. Bartlett, r. L.
Johns, c. F. Reynolds and c. L. Rich
ards, and the BONANZA inclines to
the opinion that their judgment will
be taken by the people at large in
preference to that of the editor OF
the Miner.

IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

Twenty six states and territories
were represented in the rational irri-
cation congress which met at Ogden,
Utah, last week, says Public Opinion.
No act of the national legislature
since that providing for the con-
struction of the original Pacific rail
ways, said Mr.. Clark, president of
the congress, has meant so much to
the west as the one providing for the
reclamation of the public lands. 1t
opens a new era of prosperity for
sixteen states and territories. Pres
ident Clark estimated that there
remain in the arid and semi. arid zones
about six hundred millions acres Of
vacant public land, and that there is
sufficient water available under the
storage system to about irrigate one
sixteenth of it, or 81, 500, 900 acres.
To quote President Clark again: eff
in the next thirty years the govern
ment should provide reserves suffici-
ent to reclaim twenty million acres at
an expense of $4,000, 600 annually,
which is a very conservative estimate,
as that amount will be easily realized
from the sale of land, the land re-
claimed will provide homes for from
twelve million to fifteen million peo-
pie, which, with the immense property
value necessarily created, will con-
stitute a magnificent contribution to
the wealth and glory of the nation. >

A WORD OF PRAISE.

EDITOR BoNANZA:-D Differing from
you politically, but believing that
praise should be given where due, |
wish to heartily commend the stand
taken by the BONANZA on every
question relating to the welfare of
Tonopah.
There has been no uncertain sound
in the tone of your editorials; you
have been outspoken and fearless
where a wrong has been done, and
you have had the courage of your
convictions to stand for a better form
of local government. The action
taken by the BONANZA on the ques-
tion of civil polity should be endorsed
by every law abiding citizen.

Rev. Sam Jones the famous evan
gelist, was badly bruised in a a per-
sonal encounter with Postmaster
Walter Alderman at Gainesville,
Ca, few days ago. The difficulty
arose over statements made by Mr..
Jones at his tabernacle meeting, when
ne declared that the people of Car
tersville would "prefer a sober, de-
cent negro to hand them out their
mail to a dirty dog who was using his
official position to sell wine and call
it dope" Mr.. Jones remarks were
sensational in the extreme and the
fight that followed was not unex-
pected.

as follows: "Never was there a Ber-

the very Joy of combat, better than
United States Senator William NJ.

though death snatch from him his

and alert as when he engaged in the
contests of the court room forty

IMPORTANT CASE DECIDED

The case of the Southern Nevada
Gold and Silver Mining company
against the Holmes Mining company,
which has been pending for nearly
twenty years was decided by the su
preme court last Thursday, that court
handing down a decision affirming the
Judgment of the district court of
Esmeralda county, wherein a jury
rendered a verdict in favor of the
Southern Nevada company for forty
eight thousand dollars for ore ex-
tracted from a vein claimed to be the
Chief of the Hill vein, property of
plaintiff
This is of the most important min
ing cases ever presented to our SUI
preme court, involving as it did, the
law of apex, continuity and identity
of vein, as well as the law of extra
lateral right of pursuit of vein on
its dip.
The action was for the recovery of
two millions of dollars and able counsel
were employed in both sides. The
opinion of the court will be published
in few days, which will be of interest
to mine owners and should be instruc-
tive as well as interesting. Judge
Fitzgerald does not concur with his
associates, and it is hoped will write
an opinion giving reasons for his dis
sent. The Holmes company will no
doubt petition for a re-hearing.

According to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, the necessity for irrigation
is shown by the large numbers of
Americans who are going across the
line into Canada for farms. The pre-
sumption is that very few would go
out of the country if they could get
the sort of lands in our western states
or territories which they want, at
reasonable prices. The law sets aside
the proceeds OF the sales of public
lands in the regions covered for gen
eral irrigation work. Up to the
close of the last fiscal year the money
thus set aside for this work amounted
to about SIS, 900, 900. The annual
receipts showed a steady increase.
The total for 1901 was SO, 144, SOL; for
1902 it was $4,565, SIG, and for the
year ending June 80, 1903, it was
equal to the proceeds of the two
former years.

port is Mr.. Holman, who speaks quite
deliberately, but enunciates his words
go indistinctly that the closest attention
is required to follow his remarks. Al
times his voice rises but even then the
words are not uttered clearly. and soon
falls back into low, indistinct articu.
lation. Bourke Cochran is difficult to
report for two reasons. He speaks
rapidly, and has an incxhaustible vo.
cabulary to draw on. Many of the
words he uses to express his ideas are
not in popular use, and he delights in
figures and ornaments of rhetoric. Mr..
Reed is one of the least difficult speak

DEMAND VERY LIGHT.
One Reason Given That by Operators

out for s. more down south
one reason why the demand is light
is that SO many big operators are reduc

shipped 300 head TO market and sent
only 1890 to the range. This year in
