LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TONOPAH
THE ~BONANZA'S BIRTHDAY

With this issue the ToNoPAH Bo-
MANIA begins the fourth year of its
existence, having first seen the light
on June 18th, 1901, and in that short
career the changes that have DC
CURED in Tonopah are as wonderful
as they were inevitable, and that
they we're correctly foreshadowed at
that time is evidence Of the abound
ing faith in the camp which this
journal has always maintained. The
BONANZA in those days was a four
page paper, and In turning back to
the first issue it is interesting to read
the advertisements of those who
owned stores in those days, most Of
whom are now wealthy through the
cleanest of all channels, the precious
metals of gold and silver wrested
from "Mother Earth" here in Tono-
pah. The present owner OF the
BONANZA writing at that time stated
THAT the town Of Tonopah will be-
come the largest city in the state Of
Nevada is an assurd assertion and
it must be remembered that when
these words were printed the camp
had a population Of about 200, living
in tents, there being but two build
ings in the town. True, the predic-
tion has not yet been fulfilled but the
prophecy is as good to-day as it was
then. The Importance of Tonopah
increases weekly with the develop.
ments in the surrounding districts for
which it is now, aud will remain, the
distributing center when the railroad
is completed. The enormous output
OF the mines in this town will alone
be 1.-THE justification for a population
double that OF today and that this
camp is destined to become the cen
ter of the greatest mining district il
the United States is the firm belle
of the writer. The BONANZA will en-
deavor to march abreast of the time:
keeping touch with current develop
ments, new strikes, and the lates
and most reliable news of the mimi,
world of these districts 10 which we 0
Tonopah are most deeply interested
The BONANZA, the pioneer pape
of Tonopah, desires to express it
heartfelt appreciation Of the patron
age accorded to it in the past an,
asks that it may, in the future, con
tinue to receive a generous share q
the support Of the public.

GOLDFIELD GROWS
RICHER EVERY DAY
Recent Strikes in the BO=
nanza Camp Proves 1t.
The Present Condition Of the COmbin-
alton, January and Jumbo Are
Almost Incredible.

For the past three months the in
terest in Goldfield has grown with a
keenness which is now eliminating in
intense excitement on the part of
those able to see in the sister camp,
all the ear marks Of one of those phe-
nomenal mining discoveries which oc-
II about once 10 a decade. Those
who had money to invest and the OPP
portunity offered are bemoaning their
lack Of foresight in not availing them
selves Of the fortune that knocked at
their doors while those who had no
money "cuss' their condition anyhow.
That Goldfeld is on the eve of one of
the historical rushes goes without
saying as no one who has read its re-
cord can doubt.
The pioneer property, the Comb
nation, at its lowest levels, is opening
up some Of the richest ore ever found
in the mine. 1t is pushing shipments
Ito the utmost and yet has fully z, 1000
sacks of ore Oh the dump awaiting
teams, with thousands of tons of mill
ing ore on the dump and the company
has decided to erect a 30-stamp mill
and cyanide plant to treat this.
At the January mine two whims are
working day and night raising from
100 to $50 tons of milling ore and from
300 to $50 sacks OF shipping ore every
t~wenty-four hours. This milling ore
win average over $40 per ton, while
the shipping ore will run from $l25
up, and it is a fact that twenty-five
tons shipped this week averaged 1852
per ton in gold. The output from
this mine will be greatly increased so
soon as the steam hoist now on the
ground is in working order.
The ore from these two mines is an
ideal milling and cyaniding rock, 81
per cent. Of the values being recoy-
cradle by this process.
The Jumbo mine is the latest sensa.
tional development, the Bowes. Kern
lex lease on that property proving a
wonder. There are there four feet
of ore which will at presnt average
over So, 200 per ton and $50 sacks on
The dump will u from $500 to $500
per sack. On the lease of Richards
and Cowing remarkable specimen ore

should be struck at a depth of fifty

DAMNABLE CRIME.

The condition of anarchy and muir
der existing in the Cripple Creek dis
trict Of Colorado to-day is a dis
graceful blot upon the civilization OF
this century, a shameful sheer at
that liberty, protection and freedom
of The American citizen which is pop
ularly supposed to be inseparable
from the Stars and Stripes, There
is no doubt Whatever that this dam
nable crime was deliberately con
ceived and iendishly executed by
ghouls for whom no punishment yet
devised can be too severe. The
chances of fixing the crime upon the
perpetrators or instigators are so re-
mote, and the meshes Of the net of
American Law are so wide that it is a
foregone conclusion that the right
parties will never be brought to JUS
tice, and suffer the penalty of the law.
Space will not permit us to consider
here the ethics of the dispute which
has convulsed the state of Colorado,
for a period of ten years, more or less.
Time and Investigation will probably
prove to the public, if not to the legal
mind, who were the originators and
instigators, if not the actual perpe-
traitors, of this wholesale murder.
To-day it is on record that the vic
TINS of this butchery were non union
men employed by a prominent mem
Der of the Mine Owners Association
and that on the other hand the West
eru Federation of Miners has offered
a reward of So, 900 for the capture
and detection Of the perpetrators Of
the crime. We await with eagerness
the result of the proper investigation
of the matter.
To the law abiding citizens of To.
nopah and Gold6eld camps, which ere
long must employ many thousands o.
miners, the story of Colorado's trou
bles should carry a lesson. We are
here, too prone to gloss over lightly
such crimes as the murder of the Chi
nese in this camp the stigma OF which
and the conduct of the trial OF thu
accused is a lasting stain upon thi'
county. Last week we had to chron
icle an infamous crime at Goldielt
which the citizens of that camp seen
disposed to try and let sink into OBJ
livion rather than do what justice de
mands-probe it to the bottom, Thi
is not the way to stamp out Grim
but to foster it. Nye and Esmerald
counties must bestir themselves t
hunt down and punish this octopus {
, crime or its tentacles will hold ther
. in a death grip, strangling the grea
industry on which they build. Q
the other hand let those who nurtur
these crimes remember the words {
the great Dan O'Connel, the Iris
agitator, "He who commits a Grim
! gives strength to his enemy" TIL
Colorado crime gives strength to til
=. great American people to arise an
crush beneath their heel the vermi
:. that instigated it, and the brute
that carried out the deed-all mu.
derers alike.
