The Camp That Has Proven the Only
Comstock Rival.


Carson City and her people have
set back and watched Tonopah and
the other thriving cities OF Southern
Nevada grow from tent to hum
ming city. Western Nevada hung onto
the fringe of the excitemen and was
content to get little Of the ravei-
Ings, and but few of the people have
ever visited the camp, let along take
active interest in the affirs that have |
rebuild Nevada on the mineral map.
The visit to Tonopah recalls pleas
ant memories of the gold Comstocx |
in her best days. Twenty-seve1 |
plants are hosting while more than
a score of whistles route the belated
visitoe from his morning slumbess |
1t is the real sound of prosperity AMI
shows the true character of the camp |
Other great undertakings are going |
on and Tonopah instead of being COZ
tent with her present bounds is steadi- |
ly forging ahead and men are added /
to the pay list daily. The file of men
going and coming to work reminds
the visitor Of the ComstOck days and
her mines show ore in sight that tends
to rival the grand old lode in her
palmiest days.
AS for the town that is built up
wide canyon, it is of a substantial
nature. Handsome stone buildings
are lined up the street. They are
constructed to withstand the hand Of
that would shame many a city of
twice the population. The town is
wide open, and runs night and day
There is more coin in sight at the
gambling games than would run
bank, and many fortune is won and
lost Winner or looser the games go
it ever goes round.
The mines at the present time are
looking better than at any time in
the history of the camp, as depth has
been attained and the lodges have
proven true and rich. The stock
board tells the tale, as every listed
gone beyond the expectation of the
small buyers, who have hoped to ger
in ION the ground floor"
The other night an English Lord,
of the simon pure variety, landed
in this town. He was taken to the
West End mine, where the latest
strike of Importance has been made
When shown the new ledge and its
wonderful showing he tainted. 1t was
feared he had heart disease from the
shock but he revived and is buying
all he can lay his hands on. Could
some of the Carson people see the
amount of ore in sight out this way
they would follow the example of the
gentleman from the Isles.
Carsonites.
A few of the Carsonites took 4
whirl at the camp and are prospecting
here. There are enough of them on
the ground so that one may not be
