B~lumenthaI's Opinion.

'In my opinion Manhattan is simply
immense, " said G. j. Blumenthal to a
representative of the Mail. Mr.. Blu
menthal, mining man, promoter, a
prominent g%roceryman of Tonopah and
one of Nevada's most conservative
''boosters, " has been so engrossed with
his many business enterprises that it
was not until last Friday that he could
find a favorable opportunity to make a
flying trip to the newest and greatest
gold camp of them ALL" He said:
For months all | have heard has
been Manhattan; early in the morning
till late at night. Those who hadn't al
ready visited your camp were going, in
fact, it seemed as though everyone was
wanting to visit the place. In fancy
thought | had a pretty fair idea of the
appearance of the camp-a bunch OF
tents down in a dark canyon with now
and then a solitary tree on the side of a
hill. But imagine my astonishment to
find when u auto rounded the bend at
the mouth of the canyon, agreat, broad
expanse of land covered with tents and
houses, lying before us and on all sides;
to see trees and grass, while floating
down with the breeze came the sweet
ozone from the pines. At first glance
Manhattan seems more like a summer
camping ground than a mining camp.
The camp, nesting snugly in a great
forest of pines, with the snowy white,
ness of thousands of tents, showing in
patches beneath the low-hanging boughs
of the trees, made a most imposing
sight. The long, winding canyon where
in lies your main street and those tents
on the surrounding hills, remind one Of
the typical western mining camps,
which so often read about and so seldom
are found to exist.
Concerning your mines | must admit
that | have never before seen anything
that would equal their richness. AnC
for the age of the camp and the amount
of work done, it is safe to say thai
Manhattan hasn't an equal. You have
the stuff here all right and if surface
showings count for anything, every
prospect in the camp has the making o.
a great mine. Your people have The
right spirit, and put me down as saying
that within a very short time Manhat
tan will develop into a world-beater
You can't miss it."

Since the terrible disaster in San
Francisco, many residents of Tonopah,
have received letters from relatives or
friends in the destroyed city, asking if
a position could be secured for them in
Tonopah. They all seem to think that
this is the land of sunshine, milk, honey
and gold. To all such persons, who of
course, are certainly entitled to sympa-
thy and assistance, the answer should
be: "There are no vacant positions in
Tonopah at the present time and it
would be foolish to come here unless
you have sufficient money to live on for
some time to come"

The new camp of Buckskin, 16 miles
west of Yerington, is giving a good ac-
count Of itself. A letter recently re-
ceived by the BONANZA, from w. E.
Hanson, states that new strikes are be-
ing made in all directions from the
original find and the ores PANIED free
gold in large quantities. 1.-THE outside
people, says the letter, care Just be-
ginning to learn of this new camp and
are coming in very fast. There are at
least $50 men here in the hills and camp.
The town is growing. 1t has two
stores, two saloons, surveyor and as
sayer's office, boarding house, meat
market and there are several carloads
of lumber which have been ordered to
construct new buildings about to be
erected. The outlook is one of the best
in Nevada. There will soon be a post
Office and telephone line here. The
district is bound to be a hummer and
will prove a very rich camp. Over &C
lots have been sold since May LIST and
people are coming in as fast as teams
can carry them in"
A new mining district has beer
formed and a recorder elected.

Tonopah is not a poor mans camp,
and unfortunate refugees from San
Francisco, might as well understand
this fact first as last. There are golden
opportunities for men with capital to
make a fortune in the mining camps of
southwestern Nevada, but the labor
market is over-supplied and this is par
ticularly true of Tonopah. Living is
high in this city and it is certainly no
place for people without money.

Round Mountain Strike.

Louis d. Gordon came in from Round
Mountain last Sunday with the news of
a sensational strike on the Antelope
ground in that camp. The find was
made on ground owned by Lewis H.
Rogers Of G%oldield, and G. G. Boak Of
the Manhattan Consolidated Mining
company. The following day the news
of the discovery was confirmed by Mr..
Rogers and T. H. Cline, who brought in
as fine a specimen as was ever exhibited
in Tonopah. 1t was a piece of ore
about twelve inches wide by fifteen
long and about three or four inches
through. On the upper surface, the
side exposed to view, a sheet of gold
the size of a mans hand appears. This
sheet varies in width from the thick
ness of a paper to three-eighths of an
inch. Several other pieces of gold,
broken from the slab in taking it from
its resting place in the ground, are also
displayed, and the other parts of the
slab are freely sprinkled with the native
metal.
Mr.. Gordon who is president of the
Round Mountain Extension company,
and vice-president of the Round Noun
tain Mining company, is a pioneer min
ing man of the newer Nevada" and
has had charge of some of the best
mining properties in it. He says there
are about 60 sacks of ore ready for ship
ment, on the dump of the Round Mt.
company, that win run in the neighbor-
hood Of SO, 800, which is phenomenal,
especially as the values are almost en-
tirely in gold.
The Round Mt. Extension property
which adjoins the original strike, is
considered by experts, to be second
only to Silver Peak as a milling propo-
sition. OF course, there is also consid-
cradle shipping ore on this property.
Mr.. Gordon says that this ground was
once reported on unfavorably, by
Daniel Kirby, of Idaho, on account of
it being in a porphyry formation. He
is evidently another Cohen, who while
representing Delamar, turned down the
great Mizpah in 1900.
Round Mountain has been pronounced
by mining men in general, the richest
camp on the surface that has been dis
covered since Manhattan. Some of the
more enthusiastic go as far as to state
that ever Manhattan had not the show
ings for the same amount of develop
ment done as is found at Round Noun
tain up to the present time. Manhat-
tan money is finding channels for in
vestment daily and the boom at Round
Mountain goes merrily on. Manhattan

POLICEMEN MUST ENFORCE THE LAWS Resolution to That Effect is
 Agreed On TO RENDER ASSISTANCE Want Ordinances on Clean Streets and Alleys enforced strlotly-or-
 ders Are lssueS to
 Officers.

The police department will render the city every assistance necessary in the matter of keeping the streets and alleys clean, In this connection three members of the Police Commission last night agreed on the following resolution:
 Whereas, The board, recognizing the dependence of the city authorities on the police department in keeping the streets and alleys in a clean and sanitary condi- tion and further recognizing the impor- tance of same to the health and pros perity of our city; therefore, be It
 Resolved, That Chief Wier require the captain and lleutenants to report every patrolman who fails to enforce the sanl- tary and clean street laws his beat, and that the charge of neglect of duty be placed against such officer.
 The matter was brought to the atten- ton of Chairman Parker of the Police Commission last night. Although there was no quorum, only three being in att tendence, the resolution was agreed on and Chief Wier was notified.
 In persuance of the instructions Chief Wier has issued orders to Captain John ston and Lieutenants Hagood and Eagan to report all patrolmen failing to carry out the laws mentioned.
 Chairman Parker of the commission said that he recognized the fact that the city was spending about 5000 annually tp keep the city clean and that he thought it was no more than the duty of the police department to enforce the laws, and for that reason he was heartily in favor of the resolution.
 There are a number of city ordinances | regulating the throwing of trash on the | streets, or the placing of boxes and trash in the streets or alleys. The new code, which goes into effect tomorrow. also con- tains a number of sanitary ordinances, some of which are very rigid Mayor Ward and Street Commissioner McCartin are greatly interested In the | matter of keeping the city clean, and they both state that if the police department
 will lend its aid by enforcing the ordi- nances it will make the work of the street department much easier and less expen- sive, and at the same time 1t will inusre Birmingham being an exceptionally clean city.
