WELL KNOWN MINING
MAN A VISITOR

Frank p. Davis of Manhattan was
an arrival from the northern camp
on Monday. Like all the others from
that section, he has only kind words
for the camp of gold. He looks for
a genuine boom before a great while,
one which will bring Manhattan to
a position it has never reached be-
fore.
Mr.. Davis is one of the best boost
ers in the country and, above all, he
is a mining man of %capability and
wide experience. He knows Man
haitian like a book and is acquainted
with the various properties as few
men in that locality are. He recog-
nizes the worth of Manhattan from
the standpoint of one who knows
whereof he speaks.

JACK LONGSTREET
IN FROM THEFARM

Jack Longstreet, a pioneer of the
Nevada plains, is in town from his
ranch near Golden Arrow. Mr..
Longstreet couples mining with
farming. and is successful in both.
He has many interests in the Kawich
range which are looking exception
ally well and which promise to iden-
tify his name with the successful
mining men of Southern Nevada at
no distant date.
Asked as to conditions at Golden
Arrow, Mr.. Longstreet said the dis
trict was improving from day to day.
He is of the opinion that the camp
will prove one of the biggest low
grade propositions in the State,
Enormous bodies of mill ore are be
ing developed and blocked out, which
insure the permanency of Golden
Arrow for years TO come.
Mr.. Longstreet pays occasional
visits to Silver Bow. That camp
he says, is looking better now than
at any time in it's history. He pre-.
diets a brilliant future for the
Kawich range. Development is pro
crossing on all sides with results
highly satisfactory to all.

SCARCITY OF LABOR
DELAYS GAS PLANT

Pending the arrival of necessary
help, operations on the gas plant
proper are at a standstill just at the
present time. The oil tank has been
finished, the brick is on the ground
and everything is in readiness to
commence the construction of the
gas tanks just as soon as bricklayers
can be %porcured to erect the same.
Work of laying the mains has
about been completed. That part of
the program has been going steadily
on for several weeks and little more
remains to be done. 1t is figured
that the company will be ready to
furnish gas, both for lighting and
heating purposes, within a month.

A MUNIFICENT
GIFT RECEIVED

Through the generosity of Mr.. o.
A. Turner, the Miners Hospital here
is $1,000 richer today. Monday
the official Of the hospital received
Mr.. Turner's check on a Philadel-
phia bank for this sum. The graft
tude felt by those connected with
the hospital is beyond expression and
the appreciation of Mr.. Turner's
munificent gift is most heartily felt.
If Jim Butler is the Father of Ton
opah, then MI. Turner surely must
be its Father-in-Law, for 1t was due
to his keen perception and indomi-
table business courage that the sale
of the famous Mizpah lode was con-
summated and the permanency OF
this thriving camp established. Mr.
Turner is now in town and is staying
at his handsome home near the court
house. The debt Of gratitude that
the people of Tonopah owe to Mr..
Turner for his last generous act will
never be forgotten and all those who
will in the future find it necessary
to avail themselves of the comforts
of the hospital in time of sickness
and injury will always bear in their
hearts the greatest love for this gen.
erous benefactor.

Is a Poor Observer.

He Is a poor observer indeed who
has not noticed the tremendously in
creased activity in the mining indus
try in the west just now. In both
states there is more money going in
TO and coming out of the mines every
month than there used to be a year,
says the Salt Lake Herald.
The industry has been stimulated
in Utah by the increased prices of
silver and copper. Mines that could
not formerly be worked at a profit
have been reopened and are being
vigorously exploited. Modern meth
DDS Of mining and treating ores have
made it possible to save practically
all the values they contain, and min
ing has come to be regarded, not as
a gamble. but as an entirely legiti-
mate industry. Hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars have been made in it
in the state in recent months and a
great deal more money will be made
here during the next few months.
In Nevada there is today a min
ing boom such as even that common
wealth never saw, The glories of the
palmy days of Virginia City and the
Comstock are paling before the
glories OF Goldfeld, Tonopah, Fair
view, Greenwater, Ely and other
camps. In the Ely formation copper
predominates. The same thing Is
true Of Greenwater. In Goldheld
and most of the other camps. though
gold discoveries Of fabulous richness
have been reported. Ore Is beinl
found at depth and there are indi
cations that Nevada will for years b'
n heavy producer of gold.

ACTIVITIES in
BUILDING Lines

Casey and Arden do not propose
that there is going to be a building
in Tonopah that will go any higher
into the air than the Merchants
hotel. When it was learned by them
that the State Bank and Trust COM
lany intended to make tleir struc
ture a five story affair, they at once
informed the contractor that the
Merchants hotel must be equally as
high. Therefore, the Merchants
hotel will be five stories in height.
IF they send their building up
any higher, we will do the same,
said Mr.. Arden. 1--WE propose to
can build and we do not propose to
be outdone by any individual or cor
poration."
The building activity that is going
on in Tonopah at the present time is
the talk not only of the local peo-
pie, but the strangers within our
gates as well. Perhaps there never
was a mining camp in the west more
substantially built than Tonopah OF
rather as Tonopah will be in a short
time.
The Tonopah Liquor company is
finishing its building and the in
terror will be indeed handsome
Plasterers r at work at the pres
ent time putting on the finishing
touches. The floor is of tile of {

any city.
The Smith building is receiving P;
great deal of attention and that, too
will be one of the finest in the city
1t is being rushed to completion
and will be ready for occupancy il
a comparatively short time.

SENATOR NIXON
GOES TO reno

Senator George S. Nixon arrived
in camp Saturday and left Sunday
morning for Reno, where he will at
tend the opening of his new bank or
Monday. Before returning Senator
Nixon expects to visit San Francisco
and will get back to Goldfeld to at
tend a meeting of the new Goldfield
Consolidated Mining Company on
November 20.
In an interview with the Senator
he said to a Bonanza representative:
1.-TWO years ago l said Goldfield
was a great camp. A year ago | re-
marked that it was greater and l
will now state that without question
it is the greatest camp in the world.
The fabulous wealth of the district
cannot be understood by those who
are not familiar with the actual con-
ditions. People who do not know
will not believe the figures of the
great wealth of the camp. Why, in
the small acreage of ground COM
prising the Florence, Mohawk,
Jumbo, Red Top and a one or two
others is vertically a mass of gold.
On the Hayes-Monnette lease q
winze has just been sunk fifty feet
from the 250-foot level and a body
of ore much richer than any so far
taken out, found the acreage depth
throughout the district is now about
$50 to 800 feet and there is abso-
lutely no reason why the values
should not continue to the depth OF
1000 feet and over, and, in fact
every indication points that it will
The magnitude Of the mineral wealth
could be better understood if one
could only watch the checks passing
through the banks in payment o
ore shipments. 1t is real money
too, and not of the stage variety. II
many ways Goldfeld is different
from Tonopah, especially in the re
spect that with one or two excep
tions the mines are owned locally. II

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.

bank check last Saturday in Il very
mysterious manner and it was re-

deepened the mystery. He put
the check in his pocket Saturday
evening during Il settlement with

postponed until Monday morning.
When he went to get the check
Monday morning it was gone, but
as to how, where and when it dis
appeared he does not know.
However, when he went to the
postoffice later in the day to get
his mail, he got Il letter postmarked
at Tuckerman, with the name Of
II. {. Taylor written on the upper
left hand corner of the envelope,
containing the lost check, but no
letter or word of information as to
how the check came into the pos
session of Taylor. Mr.. Crosser
does not know Taylor and there
seems to be no one in town who
does know him, and if such a per-
son was in town either Saturday or
Sunday, no one knows anything
about it. Mr.. Crosser has written
him for an explanation, but has
heard nothing from him.

for good citizenship. He has
stood for good morals and a strict
compliance with the laws of the
land and those whom the law would
make it his duty to appear in court
against, might expect a strong and
firm prosecution, but would need
to have no fear of being persecut-
ed or receive unfair treatment at
his hands.
At the age of years he began
teaching school, in which profess
sion he soon took rank as one of
the most successful and up-to-date
teachers of his county, and later
