Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1904-12-03

Yesterday Judge Hawley handed
down a decision in favor of the North
Star Tunnel company of Tonopah,
says the Carson Appeal of the 10Th
ult. The decision is one of the most
concise and far reaching that has
been delivered in a mining case in
maLy years. AS a result of the de-
cision North Star stock took a boom
and before night it had doubled in
value. Many Carsonites are inter
ested, and the result of the decision
will be immediate resumption OF work
ON the property which is considered
to be one Of the best pieces of prop
erty in the great mining camp. The
reading of the decision occupied one
hour, in which Judge Hawley very
closely defined the mode Of locating
working ard holding a claim anC
proving work for patent.

The Key That UnlOcks the Door
to Long Living.

The men of eighty-fve and ninety
years Of age are not the rotund well
fed, but thin, spare men who live on
a slender diet. Be as careful as he
will. however, a man past middle age,
will occasionally eat too much or of
some article of food not suited to his
constitution, and will need a dose of
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets to cleanse and invigorate his
stomach and regulate his liver and
bowels. When this is done there is
no reason why the average mar
should not live to old age. For sale

Assessment Work.

In order to do the assessment work
for a group of claims upon n Of
them (patented or unpatented) the
claims must be contiguous, so that
each claim concerned may be in some
I'M benefited. The amount ex-
pended on this one claim must be at
east equivalent to the amount which
would be required il each claim we're
represented separately. The work
performed or improvements made
must manifestly be for the benefit of
all the claims included in the group.
As large properties are usually de-
veloped Systematically for the pur-
pose of more economical wo: king, the
running Of levels from a shaft which
will eventually extend into adjoining
claims may properly be considered
as assessment work performed on
all the claims or for the benefit of
all. The work may even be per-
formed outside of the boundaries Of
the claims, or the work may be done
on u patented claim for the benefit
Of adjoining unpatented claims. Min

To Legally Hold Mining Claims

says: Mining claims located at any
time during 1903 should have the as
sessment work required by law com
pIeted by January /, 1905. In these
where work cannot be completed by
midnight on December 81, 1904, but
is already in progress at the end oil
the year, the work should be con.
tinued daily until completed. Ii
this way a claim which is behind or

Neyada,s Resurrection.

The mining revival in Nevada has
gained considerable Roadway, and
the old "Sagebrush State" is seeing
~liyelier times than any it has expert
enced since the excitement connected
with the early day development OF
the Comstock lode. Nevada was
very hard hit by the silver slump. 1t
lapsed into virtual bankruptcy. The
discovery of gold at Tonopah brought
the state out of the slough of desPond,
and the new discoveries of gold in
Goldfeld served to place Nevada IN
the category Of regions that are en-
loving prosperity. Tens Of thousands
of people have entered Nevada in the
past year to take part in the rehab-
ilitation of Nevada's mining industry.
This movement has been supple
mented by the federal governments
work in developing irrigable land and
by the building of railroads, and, as
a consequence, Nevada has flourished
as she has not done in a decade OF
years. The mines, however, are the
chief attraction and energy. Ne
vada has very extensive virgin ter
ritory and it is a very reasonable
proposition that this winter will see
a very marked acceleration to the
the boom. the climatic conditions
favoring surface work, prospecting
and exploration, particularly N the
southern part of the state. The adj
vaucing development is along a line
extending from Tonopah to Search
light. Goldfeld is on this line, aud
other camps are springing up as new
discoveries are being made. Nevada
thus is supplying a mining boom lus'
at a moment most propitious. Il

Our issue of last week contain
ed an article on rural mail car
rier's salary and a suggestion
that the patrons of the routes
show their appreciation Of the
service in ways substantial.
Some of the patrons have done
enough already. They agreed
at the start to furnish a wagon
for the carrier and have besides
added 5000. to the. salary paid by
the government, making the
salary now $500. We make this
statement in justice to those who
have labored so assidiously for
rural delivery. However we do
not recede from our original posi-
ton that the salary paid is made
quate and that there are many
on the routes who could show
their appreciation of the rural
service in substantial ways with
out material injury to themselves.

Our city friends often speak
of the many advantages they
have which their country neigh
bors do not enjoy. Yes, the
Times has noticed for some time
a number Of those advantages.
The city people have the advant-
age Of walking several miles to
work during a street car strike.
They have the advantage Of con-
veying their dead to the cemetery
in a dray or coal wagon during
q drivers strike. They drink
water and chalk labeled milk and
eat stray dogs and refuse pork
under the guise of sausage.
Their beef and muttoni is embalm-
ed and their Christmas turkey
costs them IS cents a pound.
For butter they eat prepared beef
talloW, and smile when they pay
30cents a dozen for packed eggs
Of the vintage of19O2. They are
frequently releiyedoftheir money
and yaluables by accommodating
footpads when returning home
late and get squeezed into street
cars like sardines in a box. Il
they want a breath of pure air,
abitof nature unspoiled by met
ropolitan distraction or a drink
of limpid spring water, they have
to 60 into the country to get it.
Yes, our city friends do enjoy a
great many advantages, which
we of the country do not, but how
many Of US would trade?-St

Inyents a Compound Engine.

We don't know enough about steam
engines to write an intelligent article
upon this subject, but one Of our citi-
zens, Mr.. Oscar Bauder, with the as
sistance of his father Peter johnson,
has made and now has running in their
machine shops a new steam engine
which is receiving the highest praise
from everyone who has seen it. 1t is
a compound engine of a peculiar pat
tern, the piston running In a perpen-
dicular cylinder. and the compromising
device is go arranged that it works
perfectly, getting the greatest possible
amount of power from the steam. The
advantage of the engine over Others
now on the market is said to be in the
fact that it will develop at least twice
the amount of power from the same
fuel. 1t occupies no more space than
an ordinary barrel. is simple in con-
struction, and works to perfection.
We hope that the invention may prove
profitable one for Mr.. Bauder, and
that he will soon be able to arrange
for the manufacture and sale of the
engines.

State Legislature Closed Yesterday.

The thirtietk general assembly of
the state of Iowa is now a matter of
history, having adjourned at noon yes
terday. 1t has been an important ses-
sion. more distinguished in killing
than in making legislation perhaps.
inasmuch as over 800 bills were pre-
sented and not over 200 passed. Among
the most NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. enacted
are the biennial election amendment,
the drainage bill, the juvenile court
law and the insurance legislation,
while the most important measures de.
feated are the indeterminate sentence
law, the primary election law, the
educational board of control and the
De Lano stock shippers bill. Our
readers have been given complete
history of the legislature through the
weekly letters of Mr.. Julian Richards,
and have no doubt followed the pro.
gress Of the session closely.

Interesting Subject Ably Presented

A discussion of Mormonism by one
who has lived and mingled with Nor
mons for number of years is inter
esting at any time and under almost
any circumstances. but particularly is
it so at the present, when the subject
is receiving national attention. The
lecture by Rev.. E. G. Hunt before the
teachers institute on Wednesday even
ing elected the rapt attention of the
listeners who were delighted with the
able presentation of the subject
Through residence of eleven years
as missionary in Salt Lake City, Rev.
Hunt has gained thorough nowledge
OF them and their ways, and he has ar
ranged the facts into very pleasing
and instructive lecture, into which he
has woven many humorous incidents
which keeps his audience in happy
mood. There are many who would
be pleased to have the lecture repeated
and the general public given an oppor-
tuuity to hear it.

The Street Shrinking Question.

The matter of the sprinkling of the
streets of the city has been quite thor
oughly discussed during the past few
DAYS. The old custom of the occu-
pants of the buildings along the streets
paying so much per week to some per-
son for doing this work has always
proven unsatisfactory, and this year,
when Mr.. .Saethe took around his list
for signers, a large number of them
baked. He could not secure enough
to make it pay him, so there has been
no street sprinkling thus far. For two
or three years this paper has been
making an effort to get the city coun-
Gil to take up the matter, buy an out
fit, see that the streets are properly
sprinkled and charge the expense to
those benefited, proportionately. We
understand that the council is now
making preparations to do this. and if
present plans do not fall through the
sprinkling in the future will probably
be under the direct supervision of the
city.

An Open Communication.
To City Authorities:

To City Authorities:
1t seems to us that all street cross
ings ought to be kept clean, especial.
ly in the spring season. A lady with
baby or parcels to carry is at loss
to know where to get across a street
on account of the mud ankle deep. Our
taxes demand at least clean crossings
for pedestrians. 1t also seems to us
that the good work of putting in &C.
ment crossings should be kept up
where property owners have met all
requirements in putting down cement
sidewalks. This proposition serves
the public in more ways than one,
and the authorities are simply to serve
the public. We find no particular
fault but will second the motion for
the continuance of the good work
which has been established, and keeps
our little city up to date.
