COMING ON K

To Tonopah and Goldfeld on q
bicycle, and all the way from Watson
vile, California. Such is the trip that
Thomas Whitman and Hugh Herman,
two sturdy carpenters of the Cali
fornia town have started out to make,
says the Nevada State Journal. After
eight days of hard work the pair ar
rived in Reno late Wednesday night
and spent all of yesterday out on wat
promises to be a still more difficult por-
ton of their journey. They WI leave
this morning.
"We heard of Goldfield and Tonopah
so much,' said one of the gentlemen
Yesterday that we decided to reach
the camps. Carpenters wages are good
there, so we are told, and work is
plenty. We had our bicycles and saw
no better method of using them than
going to Tonopah. We have been eight
days in reaching Reno, and though we
have experienced some hardships the
pleasant incidents have more than re-
paid the rough spots. We arrived here
Wednesday night; most of the journey
has been covered in the night time.
We intend to start out for Tonopah to-
morrow

BoREAs ON A BENDER
The Bullfrog Miner Tells How the
Wind Blows

Have you ever been in a tent on the
desert at night when the wind was
blowing at the rate of about $50 miles
an hourf
If not, you we lost half your life.
Or. YOU may be half a life ahead
just as one looks at it.
1t is putting it mildly to say that
old Boreas made things interesting for
everybody in camp Saturday night.
Even those of our population "from
Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska who
are supposed to be immune from fero-
cious attacks of perambulating ozone,
found plenty of new as well as unfin-
ished business on hand to keep them
out of mischief-and in some cases out
of the arms of Morpheus.
Boreas started on his jamboree some
where in the vicinity of the coast. He
couldn't have been an invalid when he
started, for, although it is a hard and
l~fatiguing trip eastward, he was still
strong when he "stole a march, on
Bullfrog at about 6 o'clock Saturday
evening. He appeared also to be out
of humor. In fact, he was ~furiously
mad and at once started a rough house,
showing plainly hat his mission was
to demolish every building in camp.
The visitation was as sudden and sur
prising to the Bullfrog as is the usual
Jump of the mew-mew to the unsus-
pecting mouse.
Boreas evidently thought he would
catch the Bullfrog mapping, but the
reptile was not asleep when the wind
came, nor did he suffer himself to doze
off ever for a moment until Boreas,
after a long night of revelry, fell off to
sleep and rest under the rays of Sun
days warm and soothing sun.
AS limited, the wind acted as though
it was mad-mad because perhaps man
had built up the desert and placed
shaft houses and mining machinery
and. big buildings in its erstwhile I'M
obstructed path across the Sagebrush
state.
The attack would come from the
west, an with a roar and a rush
lBoreas would try to lift the miner
tent from its anchorage; then it would
take, as it were, a breathing spell,
when presently the sleepy but scared
miner would hear a distant rumbling;
and then followed an assault perhaps
upon the north side of the desert
domicile, and the latter would culver
and rattle and shake, while the afore-
said miner in a reclining position could
see visions of himself and his belong
ings making a Scott-like trip across
the desert or doing acrobatic stunts in
mid-air.
When old Sol came on the scene Sun
day morning he saw many evidences of
the struggle. North Bullfrog vas
strewn with many dead and dying, and
buildings in other parts of the camp
were twisted and somewhat disfgured.
But the net result of the battle was
a Waterloo for Boreas.
The Bullfrog is here to stay.
