McCulloch claim of the Gold Hill
group was named, arrived from the
east last week and spent several days
in camp. 1t was Mr.. McCulloch's
first visit to Tonopah though he has
held interests here since the begin

size Of the camp and the richness OF
the mines. He said he thought he
had kept pace with the town by
reading reports, but these, he
thought had underestimated the
actual conditions. Mr.. McCulloch
predicts u brilliant future for the
camp and said many %easterner'

FUTURE OF

B. ]. Watson, a well. known citizen
and former newspaperman Of Nevada
City, Cal, recently spent several
weeks in Tonopah, and at present
is engaged in prospecting in the dis
tricts adjacent to the town. He is
much encouraged with the mineral
showing and is strong in his belief
that this part of Nevada has a future
as bright as any section of the United
! States. In a letter to his home
paper, the Nevada County Miner, Of
date April 2, he writes very optimis-
tically of the country, and in winding
up his correspondence he advances
the following opinion:
The state of Nevada is withou'
doubt bound to become the banneI
precious metal producer of the con
t%inent, or everyone will be disap
pointed, 1t is today a vast expans
OF un%explored territory win her
! and there, remote from each other
little patches of developed grounc
but the great bulk of the country
i in it's native state. 1t is broke
t throughout its borders by mountai
s ranges, in most of which can
found almost every kind OF minera
S 1t is difficult to prospect the most
it on account of the scarcity of waite
IS but wherever the prospector pen
trates he finds mineral and much
it rich. The state is destined to b
e. come of great Importance compare

FITTED FOR THE OFFICE.

One of the most important offices
to be filled at the coming county cleo
tion will be that of sheriff, and no
mistake should be made in the selec-
ton of the man. That has been done
before in Nye county, but there is
no reason why it should be done this
yea when such material as will be
presented to the Republican conven-
ton is available. The Office requires
a man of the strictest integrity, I'M
daunted courage and a keen and ripe
intelligence. Such qualifications are
possessed by the man whom the
| BONANZA proposes to suggest. II
Colorado, when the Office Of sheriff
was no s~inecure and its duties trieC

gentleman is Hon. j. f. Bradley, on,
of Tonopah's oldest, best known ant
most honored citizens. While be ha

there is no doubt but that the de
mand for his acceptance will be S
great that he will not refuse to az

LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TONOPAH
Nj DEFEAT.

William f. Harrity, who was chair
man of the Democratic National
committee when victory perched on
the Democratic banners in 1892, was
interviewed in Philadelphia a few
days ago, and judging by his doleful
tones, he is not very optimistic over
the prospects of the party of retro
gression.
From his interview the following
extracts are reproduced:
"Frankness compels me to say
that | do not find the outlook of my
party as hopeful as it ought to be.
There is no leadership, no group of
leaders sufficiently in the front of our
affairs to unite our forces and stir
our fighting spirit. We have no is
sues sharply enough defined to
arouse interest intensely in the com
ing campaign. There seems to be a
condition of apathy in both parties,
and apathy is usually an advantage
to the party in power.
"Things are not as they should be
in the Democratic party so close to
a national campaign. 1t is generally
believed and I suppose, inevitable
that the tariff and the trusts vii
make up the leading issue. | do no
believe that the results of a cam
paign on that basis will be as favor
able as some men suppose. We NIGH
as well recognize the hard, e~xistin
facts. The tendency to vote for
change is not as great as in 1892.
1.-THE d%iscouraging condition of til
Democratic party is due to cause
within itself. The principle Of the'
causes is the attitude which Il
party took in 1896 on the current
question.
"While there is considerable he
tility to President Roosevelt in
own party, that hostility is chiefly
financial centers, notably in M
York. He is justly regarded as
uncertain element, likely at any til
to do or say something which will G
the country into trouble or impe
the investments of the people.
must be admitted, however, that
attitude to the interests which
pose him is likely to make friel
and votes for him among the pl
people. The opposition Of the tru
will bring him more votes than
will lose through their enmity.

clared that in his opinion it was the
duty OF the building commissioner to
report to him il the fire protection IN
the theatre was inadequate No re-.
port had ever been made to him and
he had taken no action in the matter.
Ia had never been the custom of the
fire department to inspect theatres
or public buildings for any protection,
unless upon a report made from the
office Of the building commissioner
In this connection it may he recalled
that Building Commissioner Williams
testified that it was not the business
of his office to report on fire protee,
ton. but that It was matter entirely
belonging to the fire department
John Cumpion, first assistant fire
marshall. said he examined the con.
ditions in the theatre prior to its
opening and made number of sus,
gestions for necessary additions to
the fire protection, and said the the
atre firemen told him the company had
intended to put in all appliances necs-
sary.
