COMMENT
Mr.. TURNER'S GIFT.

In this day when all personal efforts are directed towards selfish
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of worldly wealth, how conspicuously stands out the
generous gift to the Miners hospital which was recently made Contrary
to the belief of many, who have been SO unfortunate never to have
been the posse5sors of an overabundance of this earths riches, a dollar
is as big to the multi-milionaire as it is to the one whose fortune is
computed the hundreds especially if the millions have been attained
at the expense of Drawn and brain. 1t is not the natural bent of mar
to go down in his pockets and dispense his wealth for what pleasure his
giving may bestow. Many gifts are made because OF possible financial
remuneration that may result from the act and in many instances per-
sonal Ego prompts the gNer. In the case of the recent generous offer
ing the institution benefited offers no fertile field for financial return
and in the humdrum of business activity the very act may pass m-
noticed except by the few directly interested. Therefore Mr.. {. A.
Turner's recent beneyoence cannot be justly attributed to any Interior
motive, but must be credited to the. outpounng of an extremely gen
erous nature. HIS reward will be the consciousness of many comforts
enjoyed and innumerable sunerngs alayed. From the hearts of those
who misfortune may overake and their burden of main 1qbtanad
through TN minfstration of careful nursing, will daily rise a prayer to
it is possible for him to enjoy. The officials Of the Miners hospital de-
formed and are now performing in the intercsf of suffering humanity
undring and successful administration. To iris man. do the peope at
large owe a debt of gratitude, even if they themselves are 30 fortunate
Is not to require the attention of the local hospital. Surely they have
friends and the bound Of brothery love is sufficiently strong IS interest
them in the welfare of their less fortunate brothers, who nav be over
taken by the contingencies of life Or the onslaught of sickness What
more comforting feeling can one experience than the knowledge that
tneir friends, in the hour of illness, are receiving all the comforts and
rtenuons possible to man. In emanating the example of Jim Butler
Tn rather of Tonopah, Mr.. Turner has added another name to the list
Of enefactors of whom Tonopah, the city of the desert. is so Justly
proud.

REMARKABLE STORY
OF HIGH GRADE ORE

Boom stories of tremendously rich
finds occasionally are so greatly ex.
a%ggerated as to recall the late la
mented Baron Munchausen. An in
stance in point Occurring no farther
away than Nevada, has been un.
earthed by the Kolar Gold Fields
News. published at Bowringpet. In
dia. That paper says:
Another phenomenal strike il
announced in Nevada in the desert
known as the Granite Springs val
ley. lying west Of Loveloeks. and a
stampede is said to be in progress.
a local paper, deprecating reports
which tend to give such announce
ments the inflated appearance of a
boom, modestly says that the ore
from the new strike contains by as.
say $4,000 gold per ton, and s17.-
600 silver. The conservation of this
announcement will be realized when
is remembered that at 65 cents
per ounce, solid silver is worth
only $1S,957 per ton, making the ore
80 per cent silver; II the remaining
lie per cent be gold, it would add
about 100000 to its value, but in
some u-naccountable manner an ad-
iitional $1,000 per tons has inhltrated

ENGINEER WULF
TELLS.OF PROGRESS
On the Big Manhattan Water,

j. H. G. Wolf, engineer in charge
of the Manhattan water, power and
mill project, arrived in Tonopah yes
terday from San Francisco, where he
has been for several weeks past on
business connected with certain de-
tails OF the big proposition.
In an interview with a Bonanza
representative, he stated that the
pipe which is to convey the water
from Jett canyon to Manhattan has
been made and is now being shipped
to the latter camp. In addition.
the mill bids have been completed
and as rapid progress is being
being made on the entire project as
is possible.
Mr.. Wolf has been doing yoeman
service. The whole scheme has been
under his direct charge from the
beginning and he has accomplished
a great deal. He has thoroughly in
spected the Manhattan district and
is as conversant with conditions
there and mor so, perhaps, than any
other man.
Manhattan is a wonder" said
he in reply to a question concerning
the camp. He expects to depart for
there within the mex few days.
