PROJECTS.

Ia another part of this issue is re.
printed an extract relating to the
plans of the Santa Fe railroad for
reaching Tonopah and Goldfeld, the
Importance OF which is at last begin
ming to attract the attention of the
great transcontinental railroads. 1t
is well known that a mineral railroad
is the most ~remunerative of all and
the enormous bodies of ore available
for transportation out of this district
Justify the construction of a broad
gauge line. Some railroad officials
who were in Tonopah this year and
were said to represent the Santa
Fe road, were at that time credited
with the statement that the road
would most certainly be built from
the south, but the present announce
ment indicates a change of plan.
There is one argument in favor of the
road from the west, viz: that its ter
minus in Tuolumne county, California,
is but ninety miles in an air line from
Candelaria, though the problem of
crossing the Sierras has to be con-
sidered. Undoubtedly another out
let to the Pacific will be built into
Tonopah, as the railroads are now
alive to the Importance of the district.
Another important matter that is
now engaging the attention Of capital.
lists is the question of supplying bott
Tonopah and Goldfeld with electrical
pwer. The matter was fully consid.
cred last year by James Kane, The
banker Of Bodie, Cal. who owns ex.
tensive water rights on Rush ant
L~eevining creeks at the head O
Mono lake, where many Thousand
horse power Of electricity could bt
generated. Mr.. Kane employed {
competent engineer to investigate
the project and a preliminary survey
was run to Tonopah, the result bein&
that the plan was found to be per
fectly feasible, but the question tina
then arose was whether the mines 0
Tonopab would contract for enough
power to justify the cost Of installing
the plant. Since then Tonopah ha'
made great strides and Goldield alsC
has come to the front as a customer
for electrical power, and there is nj
longer any doubt about the profits
that would accrue to the owners
while providing the power is supplied
at a reasonable rate its benefit t.
the camps would be i~ncalculable.

senator Ralston.

w. c. Ralston, who is state sen
ator for California and one of the
most prominent mining engineers in
that state, arrived in Tonopah on
Thursday. He is a son OF the late
well known San Francisco banker,
whose aid enabled some of the Com.
stock millionaires to acquire their
wealth. Mr.. Ralston, who is a NOV
ing spirit in the California State Min
ers' association, for years operated
the Melones mine in Calaveras county,
Cal, and his opinion carries great
weight with many prominent million
aire mine operators. His inspection
of Tonopah and Goldfeld will un-
doubtedly result in the investment OIL
capital in the district.

There is a class of people now ar
irving in Tonopah in considerable
number who, for the present, had
better stay away. Many of these are
bound for Goldield and the same adj
vice is offered to them. In both
camps the labor market is over
stocked with miners, carpenters and
all kinds of skilled and unskilled la
Dor. 1t takes time and capital to de-
velop a quartz mining camp. Capt.
tai is what is needed now and Gold
field and Tonopah are overstocked
with men of all kinds looking for
work, and it is hoped that other
journals which rely on Tonopah pa
pers for their Goldfeld news will
also do their part in disseminating
this advice.

Judging from the fact that since
the Democratic convention was held
there are Democrats in the field who
desire to como before the public as
independent candidates, it seems
pretty evident that the nominations
have not met with the unqualified ap-
proval of all the party.

REPUBLICAN TICKET.

II LNC PbOAtRoA SOAApJ ~
held on the 9th inst, resulted in q
very strong ticket being placed in
the field, and the name of those nomi-
mated for the various offices will be
found in another part of this issue.
It is difficult to see how even Demo-
Gratis can cavill at the nomination OF
T. L. Oddie for state senator, and he
should also be entirely acceptable to
the labor party. Mr.. Oddie has al
ways shown his sympathy with the
cause of labor in a marked degree.
At the time when Tonopah first as
sumed the dignity of a mining camp
and the question of wages was dis
cussed and the miners asked for $3.50
per day, Oddie and Butler said "No,
this shall be a 81 camp" and so it is
today. Again, when trouble threat
ened at the Mizpah mine last fall, it
was Oddie's tact and diplomacy COM
bined with his sympathy for labor
that averted it. The men who have
been IN this camp from the early days
know that in T. L. Oddie they have a
friend who will refuse no reasonable
request; he has "grubstaked' more
p%rospectors than any other man, and
has lent a fortune TO the deserving
who needed assistance. His inter-
ests in Nye county are greater than
those of any other single individual.
Apart from his enormous holdings in
the great mines of Tonopah, he has
invested heavily in ranch property in
Monitor valley and the breeding OF
pedigree stock, while over $40, 900 of
his money has gone into Gold6eld,
and his individual monthly payments
for labor would cause many a wealth.

withstanding this he is the same 7.

Of true Jeffersonianism could rest.
How we'll he has borne it! Our entire
political history does not show any
more eloquent appeals in behalf OF
liberty and true American principles.
Some OF the passages Of his speeches
could only have been inspired by the
loftiest concepts of political principles;
could have been animated only by a
eart-devotion to the highest ideals of
liberty The result has been that
campaign that opened with hardly
anything but the darkest clouds upon
the horizon Of Jeffersonian democracy,
under the spell of enthusiasm he has
stirred up, has witnessed the clearing
of the sky, and from the radiant glow
that issues forth there shines the Star
of Hope.

years is fraught with valuable les

As to Throwing Away Your Vote

There are some who hesitate about
voting for Hon. Thomas E. Watson
because, as they put it, they don't want
to lose their votes. This argument is
wholly unworthy of man of principle,
for every vote he casts against his
principles is a lost vote-irretrieVably
lost. 1t is not only his vote that is
lost, but part of his conscience, part OF
his integrity, part of his independence,
part of his manhood. This argument
practically makes you confess that il
one honest fellow and two confidence
men were running for the same office
you would make of yourself come
on" by voting for one of the conf
dence men because a majority of the
voters are going to be "come-ons' by
voting for him.
Ii you are SO averse to losing your
vote, Mr.. Bryanite, why then vote for
Parker? Ii you are in the confidence
OF any of the leaders of the present
democratic organization you will ind
that he has not the slightest hope OF
Parker being elected. Go to anyone
OF them with whom you may be inti-
mate and say you are a Parker man
puI lAdt YOU nave III uOp6 VI Ills oloC-.
tion and he will agree with you. Why.
some of ,nem are betting on Roose-
velt, and even giving the prevailing
odds of 5 to 1, knowing it is such a
SUN thing.
Such being TIC aase why not cast
your vote for Watson and cOm, cut of
the boom with an upright conscience.
because you have voted for principle
rather than throw your vote away on
Parker and at the same time vote
against principle? Since your vote
must be lost Tin the sense that it will
not be given to the successful candi-
date), then in the name of righteous
ness stand up in every inch of your
manhood and cast it on the side of
conscience. This very course, more
over, is advocated by d. Cady Herricl1,

political parties in America. Remark
able for the general apathy in a parti-

it has given to non-partisan activity.

from the quiet of his study to assume

it had so honorably rested for eight
years, had cast it aside for the sake Of
