Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1905-04-01

Following will be found a part of
the alleged literary production of a
man who signs himself U. NJ. Thomas,
staff correspondent of the Pacific
Oil Reporter:
II said in my letter last week that
vas disappointed in Tonopah; that it
did not come up to my expectations.
! was just as much surprised at
Goldfield. In Tonopah there are not
more than three decent business
buildings. There is not a hotel
worthy OF the name. II there is a
new store building in process OF cree
ton / failed to discover it. Is it
strange therefore that | was sur-
prised at what | found in Goldfeld?"
The foregoing effusion is followed
by a lot OF gush about Goldfeld and
then the writer harks back TO what
is evidently a sore spot in his men,
DRY, and treats his readers to an.
other dose of verigated untruth
about Tonopah. Very naturally the
business interests of this town are
antagonized and the common opinion
prevails That should the Oil Re.
porter, at any future time, be de.
sirous OF doing further business here,
it would do well to send some ordi
nary writer, not a ''staf CORES
pendent" who at times is capable o.
recording the truth.

MAY HAVE BEEN
A CONSPIRACY
Father of Claude Logan Thinks
Others May Have Coveted
Sons Property.

Possibly some much needed light
may be thrown upon the circum
stances surrounding the death OF the
man who was murdered at Ida on
the night of the 22nd ult., by state
ments made by his family in Denver.
A. r.. Logan, ia ther of the murdered
man, in an interview, declares that
he never heard of the mar Usher as
his sons partner, and expresses the
fear that his son was killed as a re-
suit of a plot to acquire possession of
the valuable mining property in
which he is supposed to have been
interested.
So far as the latest developments
in the case go, the guilt of Claude
Logan's death appears to lie at the
door OF either Usher or an Indian
with whom the murdered man is
alleged to have had trouble. The
wounds which caused death were
made by balls from a revolver. Two
chambers OF Usher's gun we're said
TO have been found empty at the
time of his arrest, Immediately after
the discovery of the body, and the
Indian is missing. Notwithstanding
the statement of the squaw who ac-
cused Usher of the deed, and the
circumstantial evidence against him,
there are many who do not believe in
his guilt,

Might Have Been Worse.

Last Saturday evening an automo.
bile, loaded with passengers from
Goid6eld ran into a barircade Of
stone aud brush on the California
Heights property, with results, which
while they were bad enough, might
well have been worse. The driver
unaware of the closing OF the road,
was not expecting to find any bar
rier to his progress, but luckily saw
it in time to shut off the power and
apply his brakes, Notwithstanding
which the auto ran into the stone
barrier with force enough to throw
several of the passengers and himself
to the ground and give them a
severe shaking up. The auto was
more or less injured.

I'VE in New-York City are the most fortunate
of all public school teachers in the world We
get good living wage. Yet no sane man would
enter school teaching in New-York as money
making pursuit. Even the New York ministry
is better off than her educators. L once heard
Judge Robert Grant say that no pulpit in New
York worth having at less than $4,000
a year Yet the highest paid man on our staff,
the superintendent of the city schools, gets con-
siderably less than $4,000.
And as for the vast majority of women teach
ers even with improved schedule it is no
easy matter for them to live the lives OF cuiti-
waited persons.
Il recently went through cigar factory In
which scores of girls were making more day

ceive for the first two or three years as teacher
There can be only result Of this cheap
wage system-cheap and ineffective teaching
This monumental report contains only ma

citation and our various teachers organizations

tional associations have been for a good many
years-in the limbo of pedantry.'
