LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TONOPAH
THE COUNTY SEAT.

Two years ago when the bill for
the removal OF the county seat from
Belmont to Tonopah, was before the
legislature, Mr.. and Mrs. James
L. Butler sent the following tele-
r to Geo. A. Cole and Key Pitt
man: 1--WE are for the removal of
the county seat from Belmont to
Tonopah, first, last and all the time
and the people of Tonopah are
alright" Surely the members of the
present legislature will not disregard
the wishes of Mr.. and Mrs. Butler,
people who have made Nevada world
famous and who have started it on
an era of unexampled prosperity.
Every member of the legislature
should see by this time, the business
of the request OF Tonopah. The
BONANZA has repeatedly stated the
reasons, with incontrovertible facts,
why Tonopah is entitled to the county
sea and we fail to see how any mem
Der of the legislature who believes IN
fair play aud who wishes to do what
is right, can eonscientiously vote
against giving Tonopah the county
seat. The only opposition at the
present time comes from a few moss
backs in the other end OF the county.
who never could and never would see
any good in a modern, progressive
up-to date city. Touopah will in th,
near failure have a S25, 600 schoo
house, a frst-class sewer system ant
a water system that would be

All men of brains realize that Tono
pah is no longer a village il
swaddlng clothes; that its perman
ency is assured beyond the perad
venture OF a doubt and that its popu
lation Of 5000 today will be NOR
than doubled within the next twelv
months. In striking contrast
Belmont, a poor apologize, moss
covered imitation of a village, man

fifty miles from anywhere. 1t has

souls, who depend principally upo

at the recent election, Belmont ca,

many of her citizens away from tow
cast $50 votes. This fact alone
sufficient to convince any legislatt
of ordinary Intelligence that Tonopa
and not Belmont is entitled to Il
county seat.

The leading and most influential
newspapers throughout the State
are %espousing the cause Of Tonopah
in the county seat removal fight.
The following from the Reno Journal
is straight to the point: At the in
coming session of the Nevada State
legislature there will be a strong ef-
fort made to have the seat Of Nye
county removed from Belmont to
Touopah. This will call forth q lively
contest, for Belmont is determined
to hold its prestige, but Tonopah
righttully claims that it is the center
of population, in fact is the only town
in the county that has any popula.
ton worth mentioning. The trip tC
Belmont from Tonopah is a weary
one and has to be made by stage.
Several Nye county legislators-elec
were in Reno last evening and they
make the county seat change almost
the sole issue Of the legislature.

Fishing and Boating
A description of Long Beach would
not be complete without some mention
of the fishing and boating. The fish
ing has been particularly notable this
summer on account of the large catches
of yellowtail and bonita, besides plenty
of smaller fish.
Fishing boats carry daily large par
ties of fishermen eager to try their
hand at deep sea- angling and always
come back with large catches. There
are several private boats which also
so to the fishing grounds.
Boating as a sport is on the increase
and several handsome craft have been
added to the fleet during the summer.
Sailing is growing in popularity and
the opening of the Riverside tract has
added river boating to the amusements
of the town. The Young Women's
Christian Association, which has a club
house in Riverside, inaugurated river
boating and is making it popular
