$4,000 RICHER
THAN EVER AS JUDGE
Has Not Sacrificed His 100000 Income
as Lawyer, for as "Lay Judge" He
Can Pursue His Practice Ex-
actly as Before.

Don't be worried, you who had such
sympathy for James B. Dill because he
was giving up $500. 600 a year to become
a Judge.
The appointment of the eminent cor
pora ton lawyer to the Court of Errors
and Appeals OF New Jersey does not
make necessary the sacrifice by him OF
any of his private business interests.
II 1t Is true, as has been reported, that
Mr.. Dill's income from his practice Is
$500. 900 a year. It Is quite likely that his
income hereafter will be 100000 a year.
for the Judgeship to which he has been
appointed Is worth $1,000 annually In
salary.
The Court of Errors and Appeals is a
Jersey institution. consisting OF the
Chancellor, the Chief Justice and AS
ISOLATE Justices of the Supreme Court.

representing n regular judiciary and
six LAY judges" It 10 not necessary
that the ! judges" be members of
the legal profession. They are sup
posed to take to the deliberations OF
the court q hard, practical. business
sense. which professional jurists, en-
crossed as they are in the red tape and
theory of the law. might not possess.
Mr.. Dill will not really be a part of
the regular judicial system of New Jer-
sey. There is nothing in his position
that would bar him from continuing to
act as counsel for corporations.
II Mr.. Dill has resigned from the direc-
torate OF certain corporations. his action
could hardly nave been inspired by his
appointment to a lay judgeship. Just
because he will be known as Judge
Dill hereafter does not signify that he
will have to live on $50 a week.

SANITARIUM WHERE
GIRL DIED RAIDED:
DOCTOR ARRESTED
Police Break Into House, Formerly Occu
pied by Notorious DR.. Gray-Blinn,
from Which Body Was Re-
moved in a Basket.

- Following the discovery this afternoon that the death of Mamie
Jeanette Thompson, of Peekskil, was the result of a criminal opera
ton, Capt. Gallagher, of the West Fortyseventh street station, and a
SQUAD of his policemen broke into the 'sanitanun' at No. 165 West
Forty-seventh street, operated by Ds. Norman Schenck and Oren B. C.
Kinney, from which an effort was made to snugge the girls body in a
basket shortly after midnight this morning,
The raid IN the house wa only made after repeated knockings at the
door and persistent ringing of the bell had failed to elicit any response.
A big crowd gathered o n the street in front Of the former notorius Gray
Bunn establishment and watched the efforts Of the police to get in. Capt
Gallagher found the front Of the place securely guarded against attack, SO
he got in the ear through the house at No. 1853, smashed open a door and
q window and went in with his men.
The house was empty. Neither Dr.. Schenck nor Dr. Kinney ws to be
found there. There we're no nurseso or patients, either, although there ia
known to have been six patients and a number of attendants in the house

ously clutching black bags full of

back in his private office-the little,

dwarfing City Hall chambers, quite un-

smoothly from comma to semcolon, in

STATE LAWS VALID.

The supreme court of the United
States has at last settled the qaes-
ton of state rights as regards min
ing laws. In affirming the decision
of the supreme court of the State OF
Montana, in the case of the Butte
City Water company VS.. Benbaker,
the court held that it is competent
for the different states to enact
laws prescribing regulations regard
ing the location of mining claims
when they do not conflict with the
federal laws on the subject: The
opinion said: IF congress has the
power to delegate to a body oil
miners the making Of additional regu.
%lations respecting locations, it can
not be doubted that it has equa
power to delegate similar authority
to a state legislature"

LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TONOPAH
ToNoPAH WINS.

The county seat battle has been
fought aud won and after May lst.,
next, our great city will be the CAPT
tol OF Nye county. Thus we con
tinue on the path to wealth, fame
and prosperity. The contest in the
Legislature was short, sharp and
decisive, thanks to the good work OF
Senator Oddie and Assemblymen
Cole, ably and heroically assisted by
Tonopah's firm friend, United States
Senator Nixon, and county commits
sioner w. T. Cuddy, AL of whom rem
dered valiant service. These gentle
men were at all times backed with
incontrovertible facts and arguments
by the BONANZA. On each Saturday
since the Legislature convened, we
have sent hundreds Of copies of the
paper to the capital. These have
been used with good effect by our
representatives. The thanks of the
entire community are due to those
who labored SO hard, earnestly and
zealously in Tonopah's behalf.

TONOpAH.

Tonopah continues to attract the
attention Of the conservative mining
investor and operator from all parts
of the civilized world. Moneyed men
r arriving daily to investigate the
mineral wealth and possibilities of
our camp and they n and all are
soon convinced that we have a dis.
trict that is unsurpassed for richness
and permanence. 1t is not a ques-
tion of g%uesswork with Tonapah.
The facts exist, the rich ore bodies
are here and the opportunities are
here. While we do not wish for one
moment to detract from Goldfeld;
we do desire to call the attention OF
those headed for that rich camp to
the possibilities of Tonopah. We
have everything that Goldfeld has
and we have stability in addition.
The leading mines of the camp have
demonstrated beyond the peradven.
ture Of a doubt, the permanence of
the veins in depth and values, while
the enormous width of the ore bodies
and the length and number of the rich
shoots form an irresistible attraction
to the mar who regards mining as an
industry Close to the camp on the
trend of its greatest vein systems is
virgin ground, awaiting the capital
of the mine operator who can receive
greater returns on his investment
here, than he could in any other min
ing district in the United States.
And in addition he will have all the
advantages and comforts of a mod.
ern, up-to-date city.
We invite you to come to Tonopah,
look over u country, investigate
our mines, satisfy yourself in regard
to u resources and don't forget
that our people will welcome you and
use their best endeavors to show you
that Tonopah has the greatest mines
on earth.

THE REASON WHY.

There is a reasonable excuse for
Hon. Frank Triplett, assemblyman
from Lander county and also editor
Of the Austin Reveille, voting with
the other five against the removal of
the county seat to Tonopah. The
editor Of the BONANZA has known
Mr.. Triplett from youth, in fact they
were boys together. The Austin
editor was the first white child born
in Austin, and only knows of that
camp and Belmont and this being his
first trip on a broad guage road and
his first insight Of civilization, the poor
boy is not to be blamed too harshly
for his don't know any better. :
After he visits Reno and takes a ride
upon the electric car, he will gather
his head between his hands and ex-
clam: "Well, III be darned.
now fully realize that since | voted
against the Nye county seat re

NEVADANIZED.

Never, since the halcyon days Of
the great Cons took Lode, since the
days when Nevada silver furnished
the sinews of war during the period
Of our great national peril, and never
since the days Of the 49er has Ne
vada stood forth so prominently be-
fore the mining and business world as
she does today. We hear of people
being hypnotized Or mesmerized, of a
multitude becoming frenzied over big
and little issues, but this is but a
normal condition compared to the
fever that has attacked the whole
country as far as Nevada mining is
concerned, for, as a matter of fact,
the mining and business world has
become Nevadanized. The Nevada
fever Is in the blood of the mining
man. Everything in the state looks
good to him; and it is good. For, if
anything is better than gold, it is
more gold, and in Nevada we are
getting it in such quantity as to as
tonish the most optimist Of the min
ing fraternity; in such quantities
that the whole financial world is
startled.

WELCOME SENATOR NIXON.

The people Of Tonopah, irrespec-
tive Of political creed, extend a
hearty welcome to Hon. George S.
Nixon, United States Senator elect.
Mr.. Nixon is closely identified with
the mining and business interests OF
our wonderful camp and will in the
future as in the past, stand ready
at all times to lend a helping hand to
the cause OF Tonopah. This is his
first visit to this section as United
States Senator elect and on the oc
casion of the public reception to him
on Tuesday evening next, at the
Mizpah Club, the people OF the dis
trict should turn out en- masse and
extend him a genuine Tonopah wei
come such as can only be extended
by the people OF Tonopah.
