TONOPAH BONANZA.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1904
ToNOPAH ORE.
Frank Keith Estimates $3, 0OO,-
900 on Dumps.

Frank Keith, manager of the Ton
opah Mining company, who was in
Salt Lake last week states in an in
terview in the Salt Lake Tribune
that in an effort to adequately equip
and to get the %stupendous wealth of
Tonopah ores now at the surface in
motion, the management of the new
line Of railway between the camp and
its connection with the C. & G. is
pounding the manufactures OF rail
way equipment to the limit. The
miner, indeed, is no more eager than
is the crowd by which the outlet was
constructed, to see this, and each
should see his ambition gratiied
within the next sixty days. While
the mine owners at camp are confin-
ing the campaign underground to
exploratory work at this time, it is
estimated by Mr.. Keith that await
ing shipment on the dumps and at
the loading statious is no less than
so, 600 tons of ore, of a value approx
mating SO, 900, 900. OF this the Ton
opah company alone has 40, 900 tons,
said he, the remainder divided among
the n%eighbors. With exceptions these
ores at the surface are what is char
acterized at camp as second class,
the average ruling at $50, perhaps,
although 5000 or $500 or $500 rock
may be found on any of the dumps.
r. r. Tilden of the firm Of Nash &
Tilden, engineers, of Salt Lake, and
who, for the past six months has
been resident engineer for the Ton
opah railroad company at Tonopah,
arrived in Salt Lake last week and
speaks in enthusiastic terms of the
wonderful producers of T%onopah anC
Goldfeld, and says that n must see
for himself III order to believe all thai
is said of these camps.
In speaking Of the ability of the
Tonopah mines TO maintain regular
shipments, he informed the Desere'
News that enough ore is now pile(
up on the dumps of the producers o
this camp to keep the railroad bus,
hauling it away for a year to come
with its present equipment. AS
matter of fact, there is almost
blockade of freight on the road, bot
in and out, and Mr.. Tilden states tina
at Reno alone at the present time
there are 100 standard gauge cars
which are loaded with freight an
supplies for Tonopah and Gold6eld
and that to handle this traffic it wi
take 300 narrow gauge cars. Th
ores from these camps, he says, wi
nearly all come to Salt Lake fc
market and reduction. He also mad
the statement that Goldfeld is q
"big" as represented, and he verift
the reported strike in the VelvC
mine, in this camp, mentioned in th
issue OF the News.

THREE JURORS CURED

Of Cholera MOrDuS with One
Small Bottle OF Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and DIarrhOea

Mr.. G. w. Fowler of Hightower,
Ala, relates an experience he had
while serving on a petit jury in a
murder case at Edwardsville, county
seat of Clebourne county, Alabama.
He says: while there | ate some
fresh meat and some souse meat and
it gave me cholera morbus in a very
severe form. / was never more sick

for a certain cholera mixture, but

this medicine was so much better he
would rather send it to me in the fix

Some of the reasons why Goldfeld
is and always will be the best town,
it is located on higher ground and
nearer the mines, and its water sup
ply is not limited to one small spring,
but can be gotten most anywhere by
sinking 20 or 80 feet on lots in East
Addition. Write or call on W. l..

David Call of Grand Valley has
recently sold his crop of alfalfa
seed. From ID acres he sold II
bushels at 10 cents per pound
{ He sold too early 10 get the top

this seed he received S40l.55 and
has left a lot Of tailings which are
of some value, as well rs a big
stack of threshed hay which makes
excellent stock feed. Aside from
his own work and the expenses Of
threshiug Mr.. Call has been out

third of the acreage had no irriga-

a good crop to stand by.

WHY CATTLE ARE BEING soLD.

at this problem as anybody else, SO

heavy expenses. incurred by the
ranchmen compelled many Of them
to go in debt Money has been
tight in the east for some time and
this has had its effect in the west,
consequently the banks have been
obliged TO prepare for period OF
depression by curtailing loans and
carrying a larger reserve fund. 1t
takes nearly twice the number of
cattle to pay a $1,000 note that it
did two yeats ago, and the borrow
er has to put up corresponding ad-
dltiona, security to get an eXten-
sion. Ii he hasn't got it and his
paper is due the chances are he
has to throw his stuff on tile mar

a shade lower than it was when
cattle were at their highest, indi-
Gates that the middle men, the
packing houses, are reaping an
enormous profit at the expense of

The fact that there is demand
