JANUARY, JONES HOME
He Says Fasteners Have Their
Eyes Turned this Way.

January Jones, who returned to
Goldfeld after an extended eastern
trip last week, was a visitor in Tono-
pah Thursday. He says the mining
camps of Southern Nevada have now
gained a prominence that rivals the
widespread knowledge of the Com
stock lode, In fact, it would be hard
to find a man, woman or child in
the east to whom the names Of Gold
field, Tonopah and Bullfrog are not
familiar terms, and as a result of the
widespread publicity that the press
has given to recent developments in
the camps, the eyes of thousands of
investors are turned this way.
"There is no question but what the
millions that have been made by Chas.
Schwab in Nevada mining Enterprises
not overlooking the success of the
eoterie of Philadelphians in the Tono-
pah mining company and Tonopah rail-
road, have deeply impressed the con
sentative and capitalistic class with
the idea that investments in Nevada
mines and commercial enterprises pro-
vide the maximum returns on a mimi
mum investment.
1T is certain that considerable
capital from all sections of the country
will be sent here in the near future for
investment"
While in New York, Mr.. Jones open
ed an office at 43 Exchange place. He
was accompanied on his eastern trip
by his wife.

ST. MARY's
Magnificent Edifice in Reno
Burned to the Ground.

st. Mary's Catholic church in Reno,
was burned to the ground last Monday
afternoon. The cause of the fire has
not been determined. The building
cost about $12, 900 when it was built
in 1881. In addition the contents were
valued at $500. The insurance
amounted to IS, 200. Two organs were
consumed by the flames, n belonging
to the church and the other to Mrs.
Anna Sunderland.
The sacraments and the valuable
heroic sized figures of Christ and Virgin
Mary, as well as all of the vestments
and altar appointments were saved by
university students.
The fire department, under Chief
Webster made a quick run and fought
the fire fearlessly, but it was evident
the edifce was doomed to total de-
struction, being frame in character.
The bell fell with a crash, taking the
forward part of the roof at the same
time. Several fireman were within a
few feet of the spot, and a cry of
horror went up from the crowd. In
ten minutes the center of the roof
caved in upon five Of the iremen, but
none were injured, barely escaping
with their lives. Everyone was watch
ing the cross, high in midair, at the
rear of the church, as the flames
reached it. At 2:35 o'clock the cross
tottered and fell, amid the cry of the
spectators, and the edifice was soon a
mass of s%mouldering ruins.

WALTER wAMPLER DEAD.
A Most Promising Young Man
Crosses the Great Divide.

Walter Wampler, one of Tonopah's
best known and most popular young
mining men, crossed the great divide
Tuesday afternoon at five o'clock after
a brief illness.
Walter F. Wampler was born in Vim
ciennes, Indiana, December 10, 1884,
hence would have attained his majority
on the 10th of next month.
1t is the charitable custom of human
kind to speak in the most eulogistic
terms Of those who have passed away.
In this case, however, the simple truth
of his life is good enough to be told of
anyone. His was a very strong and at
the same time gentle, lovable character.
Strange as it may appear in this min
ing camp where temptations do so beset
the pathway Of everyone, Walter
Wampler was never known to yield.
Even under the gibes and sneers of his
companions he was able to resist. An
acquaintance with him gave one an
abiding faith in the ability Of human
kind to live the correct moral life, even
in the midst of the most ~alluring tempt
ations. His death was caused by pneu-
monia, this fatal attack being the
fourth spell since coming to Tonopah.
He had a delicate constitution, being
predisposed to pulmonary trouble which
he inherited from his mother. His
father died when he was less than one
year old and his mother when he was
10 years old. Thus left an orphan,
the most unfortunate condition which
falls to the lot of humanity, he was
most fortunate in having such a tender
hearted uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs.
r. B. Wampler, who gave him a home,
in everyway as much his W as he
would have had if his parents had lived.
These good souls mourn him as their
own child and have the sincere sym
pathy of this whole community. He
leaves sister, the only surviving
member of the family. He was reared
in the same home with and was first
cousin to the wife of Mr.. Charles E.
Morris Of Montana, who has so many
large and valuable interests in this sec
ton.
The funeral services were conducted
by the pastor of the Presbyterian
Church undar the aucnicaa IF +ba
Miners Union of which he was a mem
Der. The music was most impressive,
being furnished by Mrs. Grimes, Miss
Pepper, and Mr.. Chas. Phillips, a close
personal friend of the deceased. The
church was filled to its utmost capacity
and the large %concourse which followed
the remains to their last resting place
gave unmistakable evidence of the high
esteem in which the community held
Walter Wampler.

Another Strike.

A strike of considerable Importance
has been made in the Red Mountain
district, which is about eight miles east
of Goldfeld. The discovery was made
on the group of claims owned by the
Nancy Donaldson mining company, of
which j. C. Mccormack of Goldfeld is
president. At a depth of ten feet a
streak of high grade ore 8 to IL inches
in width is showing in the shaft from
which average assays of $500 are being
obtained. The finding of pay values in
the Red Mountain district is of more
than ordinary importance as it extends
the mineral belt in which shipping ore
has been found in the Goldfeld district
a distance of eight miles. 1t is pro-
posed to build a wagon road to Red
Mountain district from a point about 10
miles from Tonopah, on the Goldfeld
auto road. 1t will not stop at Red
Mountain but will be continued on to
Silver Bow and Eden.

Uniustly Accused.

Ten years ago the Carson Mint was
robbed of thousands of dollars. James
Heney was accused of the crime and
with others was sentenced to inn
prisonment and a fine of $1,000. In the
United States Court at Carson last
Wednesday Judge Hawley entered an
order RENTING the fine of $1,000. There
were few who believed Heney guilty
and soon after his conviction he was
pardoned by President Mckinley. Mr..
Heney is now foreman Of the Tonopah
mining company and has a host OF
friends who have stood by him through
thick and thin and who are greatly
pleased at the action of Judgs Hawley
in remitting the fine that has hung over
him.

TELEGRAPHING.
Changes in the Service Between
TOnOpah and GOldfield.

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany opened their new office at Gold
field November 18th, doing business di-
rect to San Francisco, the same as
Tonopah has been doing heretofore.
The company's quarters at Goldtield
are commodious and complete for first
class telegraph service direct to all
points.
Mr.. r. L.. Boulter has been appointed
manager of the Western Union at Gold
field, assisted by Miss Dorothy Ham
mould, operator, and another telegraph
operator from San Francisco. C. r.
Miller of the Tonopah office will be en-
gagged as bookkeeper of the Goldfeld
Office. Heretofore the Tonopah office
has relayed and repeated all telegraph
business sent to Goldfeld and Bullfrog,
and handled in like manner all business
coming from Goldfeld, Bullfrog and
other points over the lines of the South
ern Nevada Consolidated Telephone and
Telegraph Company. The change has
necessitated a reduction of three oper-
ators at the Tonopah office, c. r. Miller,
w. Warrensford and r. A. Fitzgerald
going out. Frank C. Desmond's posi-
ton as operator for the Southern
Nevada Consolidated Company at Tono-
pah is also made vacant by the change,
the office being closed for telegraph
business. Mr.. Boulter and Miss Ham
mond, formerly operators for the
Southern Nevada Consolidated Com
pany at Goldfeld, are placed with the
Western Union at Goldfeld, as above
mentioned. The change in service
practically relieves the Southern Nevada
Consolidated Telephone and Telegraph
Company from the field of telegraph
business. This company will continue
to carry on and extend the telephone
service as formerly.
The tolls or charges from Goldfeld to
San Francisco by the Western Union
are the same as the tolls from Tonopah,
so cents for ten words.
Operators Desmond and Warrensford
left for San Francisco Tuesday morning.
Mr., A. d. Bell continues as manager OF
the Western Union at Tonopah.

Manager Frank Haley.

month, for test purposes. This ore is a
magnificent fuxing ore, carrying an ex-
cess Of iron and lime and but little
silica. The Tonopah Gold and Copper
mining company is sinking a shaft on
an immense vein of iron carbonate,
carrying.good copper values. The shaft
is now down 30 feet and getting better
