DATE ANNOUNCED
First Train Will Pull Into GoIdfieId on Thurs
day, September IA -


when the first train connecting this
greatest and best of gold camps with
the general trend of business pulls into
the station here on September Ia, it
will receive a welcome fully commensu-
rate with the epoch of increased com
mereial prosperity it is destined to in
aupurate, and at the same time will
omen the three days celebration with
which it is the intention to commend
rate it's advent. Gentlemen high in the
affairs Of the nation and state, together
with prominent railway officials and the
members of the committee on reception
and the executive committee having the
fete in charge, will gather at the depot
and form the nucleus around which
win gather the residents of the camp
and the crowd of visitors which it is
expected will be present to participate
in the festivities of the occasion. As
the train, bearing many people emf
nent in the business and mining world,
arrives at the Goldfeld terminus of the
line it will be greeted with a salvo of
giant powder, the strains of martial
music and the acclaim of the assembled
thousands. The ceremonies incident
thereto win be of a most interesting
character and will include, aside from
the driving of the golden spike, short
addresses by United States Senators
Nixon and Newlands, Nevada's repre-
sentatives in the lower house of con-
gress, Governor Sparks and other state
and county officials, men prominent in
railway circles and members of the ex-
~ecutive committee. Until Monday, the
date on which the first train would ar
rive had been somewhat a matter of
conjecture, but on that day General
Manager Trip of the Tonopah and
Goldield railroad visited the city and
held a consultation with Milton M.
Detch, chairman of the executive com
mittee, and at it's close the latter gen
tleman was enabled to announce def
nitely the dates of the celebration as
being September Ia, Is and 16. Dis
position of this feature is a matter of
congratulation among the members of
the several committees who have the
plans for the celebration in charge and
they are now buckling down to their
none too easy tasks with increased en-
thusiasm. In fact, now that the matter
has been finally settled, a very percep-
title increase of interest on the part of
the business men is noticeable; and
while they have at no time been apa-
thetic, or slow to reach down into their
pockets for the cash necessary to make
the observance a success, they are now
entering fully into the spirit with ami
mates the movement and are putting in
many good ticks for the cause
ALL ARE HUSTLERS.
These are busy days for the members
of the various committees, but they
were selected for their stamina and
get-there qualities, and as a conse-
quence there is not a bent or broken
reed in the entire outfit. There is never
a sign of an inclination to "pass the
buck,' but in contra distinction there
is a decided spirit manifest to shoulder
without murmur any duty that pre-
sents itself. Each member is a host in
himself and goes about his work with
a vim and cheerfulness which cannot
but be fruitful of good results. Day
and night these indefatigable h~ustlers
are busily engaged in perfecting plans
and in adopting new and novel features
of entertainment, and are certainly de-
serving of the gratitude and praise of
their fellow townsmen. One of the
more. recent additions to the program
is the closing of a contract with Pro-
lessor Richard Earlston and wife, the
celebrated ~aeronauts, to make a num-
Der of balloon assertions each day of
the celebration. The couple have few
equals as aerial performers and have
established a reputation second to none
in their line of business. There is,
