were entertained at the Mizpah club
Thursday night. 1t would require
the pen of Dumas or Victor Hugo
to describe the scene. Millionaires
and hard struggling miners, men
who have had wealth and lost il,
lighting to regain their ground. Ex-
pert miners and mining experts,
men known wherever people congre-
gate on this little globe, men who
are fighting TO become known, men
who care only for fame, others who
care only for wealth. Men who
would toss dollar, heads or tails,
for kings ransom, men who would
stake their lives on the turn OF a card
or the whirl Of wheel Some cool
and calm, watching their aim and
eager to take advantage of their
fellows slightest failure.
Millionaire, prospeetor, adventur-
er, merchant, capitalist, stockman,
journalist, poet, it is doubtful if a
gathering as unique ever occurred in
the history OF America, drawn to-
gether to pay tribute to Charles NJ.
Schwab, the tribute OF respect and
admira tiou, not hero worship; such
idolatry is unknown TO the men of the
cosmopolitan throng that gathered
about Charles NJ. Schwab at the Miz
pah club last Thursday evening.
What was the attraction Not
the millionaire, not the steel mag
nate, not the magic OF stupendous
wealth, il was Schwab. Do you i'm
agine that If John ID. Rockefeller,
many times as wealthy, had been the
guest OF the Mizpah, the result would
have been the same? Hardly. 1t
was the individuality, the magnetism,
the delightful comradie of the man
that appealed to all
The little talk he gave was full OF
wit and sincerity, clever anecdotes
and charming humor, We OF Tono-
pah wonder no longer, II we ever
have wondered at your success, Mr.
Schwab. Magnetic to a degree, a
delightful reconteur, practical, still
dreamer, perfect master Of him.
SELF, we can understand why you
scyntilate alone, in class by your
self, among the young men Of Amer
ica
Association, birth, assistance
through the natural trend of cir.
cumstances make many men, but
Charles NJ Schwab made Charles
NJ Schwab. To come down TO selfish
interest what does this visit mean tc
Tonopah2 II means temporary
impetus to be sure; that we need
but more than all it means the conf.
dence of investors the world over
Charles NJ. Schwab and his associates
are pledged TO Tonopah by their
money and their words. The expert.
mental stage is long past, we are on
the eve OF q new awakening that will
startle the world Tonopah today
for her years surpasses anything in
the history of the mining world.
Mr.. Schwab expressed the opinion
that the great fortunes Of the future
will be mining they must come from
mother earth. Competition has made
impossible the requirement Of great
wealth through the agency OF manu-
iacture. A perfect exposition of the
ethics of mining was given by Mr.
Schwab The only industry where
there is no competition. Your neigh
bors success means your success.
We are already looking forward tC
your next visit, Mr.. Schwab, Youl
advent has brought us encourage
ment and new spirit. You are one
of the men that do things; that stand
in the front Of the fight and helE
carry the burden OF new enterprise
and gigantic industry. You have
won us individually and collectively
and we have nailed your flag to oul
mast.
