AMERICAN REFUSES A DRINK.
Incident on Board q Steamer Whieh
illustrates Danger OF Putting
TemptatiOn in AnOther's Way.

A man who lately came over from
America told the writer that on board
the steamer one of the passengers went
up to another in the smoking-room and
asked him to have drink with him.
The man thus invited continued read
ing newspaper and made no reply.
The other man again asked him to
drink with him.. No answer again. A
third invitation was then given in these
words:
"Sir, have asked you in as friendly
a way as possible to drink with me, and
each time you went on with your read
ing, and had not the civility to answer
me. Now 1 ask you for the third time
If you will drink wine, whisky, or any
thing else with me?"
The man then put aside his paper and
answered quietly: "Do you see. that
glass, sir? Well, if were to take even
a quarter of it, I could not leave off un-
til 1 had drank all the liquor on board.
This is why I would not drink with
you"
All present admired the mans self
control and learned striking lesson on
the danger of putting temptation in a
brothers way.-The Culver.

A Farmers Example and Advice tc
. Young Man Who Used tho
Devils Brew.

It was very warm day when Father
Welden began plowing the south mead
ow. where the grass had grown rank.
His forehead became moist and his
throat dry, as he followed the plow
across the field. Over in the corner
where the bushes cast shade he had
placed jug full of a drink that never
failed him when thirsty. He drank
from it several times during the day.
On the other side of the fence young
man was lying on the ground in the
shade. He had been asleep. His eyes
were red; he looked wretched. He was
thirsty. He awoke just as Farmer We'll
den left his horses and went over to
the corner near where he was lying.
He saw him lift his jug to his lips and
take from it long draughts. It made the
young man feel still more thirsty to see
the farmer enjoy his drink. He jumped
up quickly and shouted:
"Haflo! What have you got there
todrink?"
The farmer turned quickly, meeting
the eyes of the young man eagerly fixed
upon him and his jug. He felt sure.

The Railroad WashOuts.

Misfortune still follows the track OF
the Tonopah railroad, the %unpreced-
ented severity of the recent rain
storms and a succession of heavy
c%loudbursts having again washed out
several miles of track. Last Monday
the tram eaving Sodaville was caught
in one Of these cloudbursts aud the
track behind it washed out, and al.
most before it could reach high
ground the track in front was torn
away aud undermined from beneath,
the whole train falling over on its
side, with fortunately only one pas
senger Slightly cut from broken
glass. The water receded from
where the train was stalled, leaving
it on an island with virtually fifteen
miles Of track washed out between
Sodaville and Coaldale. Men we're
rushed to the scene and the passen-
gers conveyed back to Sodaville, and
while repairs were going on other
eloudbursts caused twenty six wash
outs between Deep Wells and Gold
field Junction. Alonzo Trip, the
general superintendent, has worked
with superhuman energy to repair
all this trouble, and has eighty horses
and 225 men working at high pres
sure and it is now hoped that a train
will arrive in Tonopah on Monday
with hay, grain, perishable freight
and express matter, and that here
after the train service will be regu.
lar. OF course there has been great
inconvenience in the camp owing tc
the non-arrival of trains for a week,
and with a shortage OF grain the
heavy teams have not been working.
In a few days the management vii

NO FOoD

Private letters to the camp indl
cate that outside friends Of those in
Tonopah think that the residents Of
the camp have been suffering honors
similar to the siege of Paris when
fricassed hind leg of a rat cost 81 80.
Once again the BONANZA emphati-
cally denies any shortage of any food
but perishable articles and horse
feed. Butter has been scarce and
fresh vegetables and fruit have been
unobtainable. Horse feed, especially
gram, has been so short that the
heavy teams are not working, but no
horse is in need of food. The inhab-
itants Of Tonopah are not eating rats,
cats or each other, they are living
well and making money all the time.

FOR THE RIGHT.

The article headed "Philanthropic
Promotion" which appeared in u
last Saturdays issue, directing atten-
ton to the methods of DR.. Frances E.
Williams, has produced such a show
err OF congratulations that we offer no
apology for again referring to the
subject today. DR.. Williams has sta
ted publicly that it is her intention
to sue w. W. Booth, the editor and
proprietor of this paper, civilly, and
prosecute him criminally, and the To-
nopah Sun in large letters gloats
over this It'd bit of news. The unctu-
Jus editor of that sheet apparently
forgets that since his arrival in this
camp he has endeavored to estab-
fish himself as the self constituted
censor of the mining and business
enterprises of this district. If he
would but act up to the standing
text he prints in his paper he might
not so eagerly embrace the lady's
cause. The threats made by DR..
Frances Williams have not produced
any fear in the heart of the editor OF
this paper, nor has he lost n wink
OF sleep over her empty v~aporings.
At the time the article was written
the editor had not laid all his cards
on the table and since then his hanC
has been greatly strengthened by
valuable and authentic information
given by friends of the BONANZA.
While at all times ready to assist the
legitimate promoter in influencing
capital into this great mineral zone
the BONANZA will not hesitate to ex
pose and denounce methods similar t
those pursued by DR.. Williams
These are the schemes which delud'
the unwary, and do incaleulable in
jury to the mining industry in gener
al and this district in particular. Il
adopting the course it has the Bo
MANIA honestly believes it is acting
in the interests Of the public goot
and for the ultimate benefit Of tn,
greatest mineral zone in the world

THE v PARTY.

The news from Carson City that the
Silver party will put up a separate
ticket simply accentuates the split IN
the Democratic camp, So far as ma
tional politics are concerned, silver
is absolutely a dead issue and even
the old timers in Nevada might Just
as well awake to this fact. The
state has always in the mind OF its
oldest adherent been regarded as a
silver state because of the enormous
wealth of this metal that was taken
out of the Comstock. The memoir
les of the vast fortunes made out OF
silver naturally cling around the old
associations of the early days, To-
day the up to date man, while real
ling that silver laid the foundations
of the prosperity Of Nevada, is no
longer narrow minded in his affection
for that metal. The progressive
broad minded man sees in Nevada
a state rich in copper, silver, coal,
gold and many other products. He
realizes that gold is the all purchas
ing power throughout the civilized
world and he appreciates the fact
that Nevada does not rely solely
upon silver for its prosperity, Now,
at this moment right within the Dor
ders of Nevada is Goldield, the great
est gold camp in the world today, the
production from which will stamp Ne
vada as a gold and not a silver state.
That camp alone would have justified
the present railroad; it will force the
opening up Of the Coalfeld coal
mines; it is today pouring prosperity
into the farmers of Big Pine, Bishop
and Fish Lake Valley, and the mer-
chants of Reno, Sacramento, San
Francisco and Salt Lake.
Nevada is today throwing off the
blankets of the past lethargy, and
awakening to the glorious dawn Of
unprecedented prosperity. Under
the beneticient guidance Of Repub.
hcan leaders this glorious change q
affairs has been brought about, anC
those who can and will look back tC
the years of stagnation in Nevada
prior 20 this state of affairs, SHOULD
sit down, think it out, be honest anC
admit it.
