CHRONICLE MEN IN Town.
representative Of tina Live San
Francisco Paper in Tonopah.


VIM. III. Cameron aud Horace Ste.
vens, representing the San Francisco
Chronicle, are here 10 the interests
Of their paper, aud will probably re.
main several days longer. Ii Is the
intention of the journal In question TO
publish soon special Tonopah edi-
ton, which viii be printed in regu.
lar Sunday issue, the intention being
to have IL appear in the Chronicles
mammoth Easter number IL POSSIBLE,
the object being to make known TO
investors the stability OF the Tonopah
mineral resources. There has all
along existed certain amount OF fl
nancial doubt upon this point, CAPT
tai being proverbially timid regard
ing new and undeveloped mining dis
tricts, and it is the purpose of the
Chronicle to let the whole outside
world know the entire truth about
Tonopah. The paper has quite an
extensive eastern circula tion in addi-
ton to its enormous home asd Pacific
Coast patronage, and its opinion is
generally accepted by the financial
world
Mr. Cameron has been connected
with the Chronicle for the past TWEEN
ty-seven years, and is known all
over the Pacific Coast as its hustling
travelling business agent. AS the
paper goes into almost every house
hold in the western states, the ex-
tent of his acquaintance can readily
be imagined
Horace Stevens is equally we'll
known on the Pacific Coast, being a
native Californian, and for the past
twenty years a recognized author
ity upon all the laws affecting the
disposition of the public domain, min
ing law being one of his specialties.
He was employed for nearly three
years in extensive litigation at Bak-
ersfield, involving some of the most
valuable oil lands in Kern county,
and the cases are now pending in the
United States supreme court. Last
October he was engaged by the Cali
fornia State Mining Bureau as spe-
cial agent to vestigate alleged
fraudulent timber entries in North
ern California whereby the rights of
miners were seriously menaced by
the hordes of eastern timber thieves
that flocked into the country and
grabbed everything in sight, and his
fearless report to State Mlneralogist
Lewis e. Aubury created most
profound sensation, resulting in the
Secretary of the Interior making
provisional suspension of the whole
affected region, covering several
hundred square miles and embracing
millions of acres. The forests of
Northern California are now alive
with government agents following
the lines laid down by Mr.. Stevens in
his report, and there is no doubt as
to the ultimate redemption of the
mineral interests from the clutches
of the looters.
1t is proposed by the Chronicle to
adopt an original style in writing up
the Tonopah country, all the articles
being specially illustrated by special
artists, and as the pictures will be
taken on the ground, and intelligent
judgment used in the selection of sub
jects, many Of them will possess
unique features, and the edition will
prove not only an interesting exhibit
of the wonderful possibilities of Tono-
pah and surrounding districts, but
will be valuable history as well, and
one that should be preserved for flu
ture reference.
