VIII 1t BE Extended?

A dispatch from New York to the
Reno Journal says the sale of the Tono-
pah-Goldfeld railroad company's inn
provement bonds has been completed;
the entire issue of 81, $50, 900 has been
taken by eastern banking houses which
insures the construction of the Bullfrog
extension.
The Bullfrog extension Of the Tono-
pah- Goldfeld railway company was pro-
jected nearly a year ago, but after the
construction of the extention of the
Clark road began, Manager Trip OF
the local system, said that the plans OF
his company would be abandoned for
the present as the Bullfrog district was
hardly capable of supporting two lines
of road.
The enormous development of the
district and the fact that the entir
belt between Goldfeld and Bullfrog is
highly mineralized are believed, how
ever, to have had much to do with re-
newing the company's desire to get in
to the district as soon as possible.
General Manager Trip was asked
about the dispatch and said that it was
news to him. He had heard nothing
about it, and if any steps had beer
taken in the matter by the officials in
Philadelphia, they had not as yet mott.
fled him.

POWER FROM
OWENS RIVER
Edison F. Adams Says Work
Has Been Commenced by
Mono Power Company.

Edison F. Adams, the Oakland capt.
talist, who is heavily interested In the
Mono Power Company, was in Tonopah
this week. To a BONANZA representa-
tive Mr.. Adams stated that his company
is now preparing to bring power into
Tonopah and the other districts of
Southwestern Nevada. 1.-THE source of
it's power will be the Owens River, in
Inyo county, California, said Mr..
Adams. "By the formation of this
company all interests on the Owens
river between Round Valley and the
Forest Reserve, covering a distance of
some five or six miles, have been har-
monized, including the interests of the
Owens River Power & Water Co.
Something over a year ago the sur
vey for the pole line was made from
the river to Tonopah and Goldfield, the
distance from Tonopah being "a miles.
Owing to the objections made by the
reclamation service of the United
States, which was at that time consid-
ering a reclamation project in the
Owens River Valley, the approval of
the rights of way for pole lines over
government lands was held up until
questions, then under consideration,
could be determined. This delayed the
work of proceeding with the Installation
of the plant. Work has now been
commenced vigorously on the prelimi-
nary plant which will develop power
for running of compressors, also the
necessary dams and other improve
ments.
"There are now rs men at work upon
these preliminary matters under the
direction of w. H. Lefingwell, a very
experienced engineer. The tunnel cut
ting off a bend in the river is now being
driven a distance of some 200 feet, Civ
ing a fall of over 80 feet. This fall
will be utilized to furnish power to run
the compressors for the drills to be
used in the running of the main tunnel,
which will be about one mile long, in
GLIDING adits. This tunnel will have a
cement lining and, being underground,
will be proof against accident, as would
be the case with fumes, pipes and
bitches, which would be exposed to
various dangers, any one of which
would cause a shutting down of the
power plant, when completed, without
notice.
'"This method of conveying the water
by tunnel under the bank of the river
and parallel to it, is the same method as
is used by the Kern River Power Co.
which furnishes current to the city of
Los Angeles, and is deemed the most
efficient method now in use.
1.-The first plant constructed will have
a capacity which will produce over {, 00C
horse power at a distance from the
plant of over 90 miles. The time re-
CURED to build this plant and transmits
sion lines will not exceed one year. II
is proposed to build the plant and lines
in the most substantial manner, thus
insuring constant current, which is most
necessary in the operation Of mining
properties"

viii Visit

Under the caption, "Leaves for a
Mysterious Destination" the Salt Lake
Tribune says:
Harry Joseph left Salt Lake Friday
for some secret desnation in Nevada +,
and it is not known just which districts
will be visited by him. AS no trip to
that state is logical unless Manhattan
and Fairview are taken in, to say moth
ing of Yerington and the older camps,
it may be taken for granted that these
districts will receive a call from him.
He will be gone for over a week"
Yes, he might visit Clifford, Jeffer-
son, Millett, Golden Arrow, Reveille,
Kawich, Atwood, Pactolus, Cloverdale,
Silver Peak, Lone Mountain-well, he
might visit Nevada.

Patronize Home Merchants.

Nevada officers have caught two men
who sold silks to the people Of that
state, charging very much less than any
of the stores were quoting. The agents
collected half for the silks when they
took the orders, and were to have the
other half when the goods were deliv-
cred. The goods were not delivered at
all. The men had no silks. They could
not have bought the goods at double
the price they quoted. And they are
now headed for the penitentiary, with
scores of Nevada women wishing the
term was for life. There is a moral for
the women as we'll for the swindlers in
this little incident. 1t is a brief and
easily remembered motto, and it might
well be pinned on the front window
curtains Of all women who have a weak
ness for bargains that str .age agents
bring to your doors. 1t is as follows:
Buy of your home merchant, and be
treated right. You will then be happier.

Jim Butler, the discover of Tonopah,
which led to the starting of a mining
boom in Southern Nevada overshadow-
ing in magnitude all other subsequent
to that of the Comstock lode, is sug-

as grand marshal of the July Golden
Jubilee parade in this city. The accept
ance of that honor by Mr.. Butler would
be a graceful and deserved compliment
that will be appreciated and applauded
throughout Southern Nevada mining

health again and is busily greeting old
acquaintance.
For a time after the shooting it was
feared that Lundy would not recover.
The ball entered his body, ranging up
ward, producing a wound that seriously
threatened his life. Within a week he

their richness and magnitude. The
greatest mines, for their age, in the
history of America have been opened
up in Tonopah during the past five
years; in Gold6eld during the past
three years; in Bullfrog during the
past two years and in Manhattan
and Clifford during the past eight
months.

COMMITTEE ON BOOKS.
To the Honorable T. M. Bell, Foreman
of the Grand Jury:

To the Honorable 7. M. Bell, Foreman
of the Grand Jury:
We, your committee of Grand Jurors
appointed to inspect Ethe books of the
the several county officers of the County
of Nye, State of Nevada, beg leave to
submit the following:
We fIst called upon the office of the
Sheriff and examined the books of the
office covering the last quarter Of the
year and ending December 81, 1905,
also for the months of January and
February, 1906, with the result that all
monies received by the Sheriff during
the foregoing period are::shown to have
been properly entered upon the books
of his office, and were promptly deliv-
cred to the County Treasurer of Nye
County as the law directs. W. also
find that due and correct check has
been maintained between the Sheriff's
and the County Auditors Office, and
that the books Of the two correctly
balance.
In the County Auditors office we
found that a correct account had been
kept of all moneys received, and that
the proper accounting has been made
to the County Treasurer as is required
by law; that full and complete receipts
for all moneys required by law to be
turned over to the County Treasurer
are held by the Auditor, ssthus making a
true and correct balance between the
Auditors and T%reasurer's office and
the books therein.
We find the same satisfactory condi-
ton existing in the offices of the County
Clerk and District Attorneys office re-
spectively.
We also find the books of the County
Treasurer correctly balanced, and all
monies from all sources of ven
safely and correctly lodged with the
said Treasurer as is required by law.
In concluding the report herein of our
Investigations we desire to express our
