Tr1ILLYER went out into the star EA lit night and made his way down to the business portion of
 the town. He was about to pass the barroom run by Luke Hill- house, when, hearing the clicking Of billiard balls and the rapping of cues, he looked in at the screened door. Two countrymen, without their coats and under broad slouched hats, were play Ing at the green table, over which hung a glass lamp under tin shade con- Etructed from new dishpan with & hole cut in the bottom, ana three oI four half drunken negroes were en- gagged in betting small amounts on a fortune wheel against the wall.

There has been some bum proof
reading on The News for the first
two issues which we hope will not
be frequently repeated. In speak
ing last week of the shooting of
Kendall, the types made it read
that it occurred "shortly after
three o'clock in the morning. 1t
was written Shortly after seven
O'clock" and that is the time It
occurred. The good citizens who
witnessed that unfortunate affair,
while early risers, do not get up
as soon as 3 a. Minor do they
stay up all night to note the beauty
of the sunrise.

The commissioners of Esmer-
aida county should wake up to the
importance of Goldfeld and gov
ern their actions accordingly.
When the whole country is alive
to the fact that this, for age and
development, is the greatest gold
camp ever known, it is high time
that the commissioners should
show by their official actions that
they are aware of the fact. The
population of this district is today
greater than that of the entire rest
of the county, and we are entitled
to the consideration which num-
bers and the Importance of this
camp deserves. We do not be-
lieve that any of the commission
ers were malicious in issuing a re
cent order, but if it was issued
without proper investigation it is
nothing short of criminal ignor-
anCe. If it is not sooner called to
their attention in an official man
ner, the commissioners can, with
profit to themselves and this com
munity, study Chapter LXI, Sec
tons I to 4, of the Session Laws
of 1908.

A committee of members

A committee of members of the
Mizpah Club, OF which Uri B. Cur
tbs is chairman, have raised a fund
to defray the expense of sending a
large number of the Tonopah pa
pers each week to the Worlds
Fair at St. Louis for free distribu-
ton. This is bound to result in
great good to Tonopah and will re-
turn dollars for every cent spent.
Tonopah was afflicted with some
very poor advertising over a year
ago, and many of its citizens un-
wisely jumped to the conclusion
that all advertising was bad. This
was a greater mistake than the
original one OF employing poor
methods and poor media. Many a
"doubting Thomas" has become
convinced that Tonopah had a sub
stantial foundation for the claims
made for it when they would SCI a

The official figures compiled for
the Annual Statistical Edition of
the Denver Mining Record shows
that "the bullion record of Neva-
da's mines totals over $500, $780,
ooo"-by many millions greater
than any state in the Union. The
Comstock alone produced over
$3.50, 1000. 900. These figures are
stupendous and yet it is tritely but
truly said that the surface of this
state has been scarcely scratched.
