Automobile Line Busy.
The new automobile line recently
placed in operation between Tonopah
and GOldtield by L. L. Patrick and as
sociates is doing a 7aSsenger business
which has met their fondest expecta-
tons. These machines are of the large
touring car pattern. having seats for
seven passengers. and a commodious
cover top fer baggage. Since these
cars were placed in operation, about
Two weeks ago hardly a trip has been
made without the full complement of

ing the round trip daily. The distance
via the DiamOndheld road is thirty
miles and the time consumed on the
trip is two and one-half hours There
are also two six-horse stages each way
ually, which go out and return with
every seat occupied.
The number Of passengers arriving in
Tonopah each day, via the Tonopah
railroad. is about eighty-five, fully IS
per cent Of whom leave the day they
arrive for Goldfield and the Bull Frog
country. Thus ii can readily be seen
that the passenger lines south of Tono-
pah have all they can take care of.
