b With this issue the Miner begins
IL the fourth year of it's existence. Dur
y ing the past year the advertising pat
rCrGsc OF the paper has more tIan
7" doubled. One year ago it carried TWEEN
t tytNo columns of advertising matter,
a while thus week 1t carries nearly fifty
" csdu.nus-.tcn columns more than are
carried by 10th of its esteemed local
cant er poraries combined. During the
n year the circulation has increased
q more than so per cent, and 1t is quite
cafe. to say that the Miner is now read
by more people. than any other two
Qapers published in the state of Ne
o vada. For the generous support which
d has smade this splendid result possible
z the.Miner is grateful to its patrons,
.. and, will endeavor to he worthy of tie
=" same generous supporI in the future.
The paper will continue to he printed
y in Che highest style OF the topographic
, art,s and it's readers need have no fear
" tina. it will ever degenerate into .
rs Mesoenthaier monstrOsity such As
n those which are now Icing inflicted

Nevada.
E, The above editorial is clipped from
ia last Saturday Tonopah Miner and
on calls for correction In some respects.
IN The Miner is the neatest paper from a
an typographical standpoint in the state
he and it has a large circulation and ad.
'es vertising patronage But. no one
sol knows better thar Editor Durham
ab' that only in typographical appearance
! does it excel the Goldfeld News, and
frc we expect during the quiet of the
midsummer to find time to catch up
II the short distance we are behind in
oos that regard.
Ii IL may be ''quite safe to say that
the Miner is read by more people than
any other two papers published in the
state Of Nevada" tut you know, Sam,
* that Il ism t true. The Goldfield News
not only has the largest tona-fide cir
c~r'at5on in the state, Tut we believe it
is quite safe to say' that each copy
as carefully read Ly five times the
usual nun >er OF people. Many OF our
sui settlers have told or written us
j tha: from five to a dozen different
4 people outside their own family read
4 tnei- paper each week, and many a

to read it.
On q recent trip to San Francisco
. the editor called upon w. II. Snedaker,
tnc agent OF the Illinois Central rail
seal, ut his Office in the Palace Hotter
lu:!dins. did you notice that man
Wro Just came in and went to that
ta;le?' said he. "Well, he is one of
tine. regulars who come in to read
your paper. Every week as soon as
l read it | put it out On that table ana
an average of from 80 to 40 people d
dag come In and read it,
The Press Club OF San Francisco
receive hundreds OF weekly and daily
papers from all over the country, as
well Is the leading magazines and
high-class pictorial w~aelIes, such as
Collier s, Harper S, etc. The latter
are kept in the club S handsome Ii
Lrary, while the former are upstairs
in another room. While on the trip
above referred to-, the editor extended
tine usual courtesy to the Press Club.
S-ortly after the first copy arrived
he was waited upon Ly the president
and another memter OF the club, and
the former said: "Mr. O'Brien by
resolution of the board Of directors
and l assure you it could he done in
nc other way than ty a special resolu-
tion-the Goldheid News has been
magazines and high-ciass PICK tial
weekiies instead of Icing put upstairs
with the hundreds OF ordinary weekly
and daily papers. l wish further to
assure you that at present, at least.
it is the most eagerly read periodical
which we receive, and the boys of the
club are continually compiimenting its
excellence"
IL will be noticed in the Miner ed
itorial that it does not claim to have
Che largest circulation, but intimates
without saying positively that it has
more readers than any other paper in
che state. 1t is to disprove such in
.~sinuation that the foregoing instances
Of the popularity of the News are
cited.
The Miner is a most excellent paper
and it's owners have every reason to be
proud of its standing and great sue
cess. We cheerfully admit that, but
