EjectInent Suits Filed.

The Tonopah Mining Company,
through their attorneys, Messrs. Camp
bell, Metson & Brown, have taken
drastic measures to acquire ground
which they claim belongs to the com
pany and which at present is occupied
by other people. Last week they filed
1876 ejectment suits against those hold
ing the properties in dispute. The
whole trouble has arisen from the fact
that the town limits of Tonopah were
not sufficiently large to contain all the
people who desire to locate there. Ac-
cordingly the late corners settled out
side the town on bordering property,
which the mining company alleges
belongs to said company. The COM
pany insists that these dwellers are
"squatters," but nevertheless they re-
fuse to vacate.

Big FOUNDRY
FOR TONOPAH
New Company to Build at Once
Will Have Facilities for
50 Ton Castings

Tonopah will no doubt hail with de-
light the announcement that a large
foundry and machine shop is to be
built at once. A number of citizens
realizing the absolute inability of the
town to cope with the breakage in
running and other machinery which is
liable to occur at all times have gotten
together and formed the Tonopah
Foundry and Machine Company. The
capital of the new enterprise is $780,
900 and the following officers have been
elected: R. P. Dunlap, president; Mark
B. Kerr, first vice-president; Alonzo
Trip, second vice-president; Herbert
A. Trip, secretary and the Nye and
Ormsby County Bank, treasurer; F. A.
Taylor will be general manager. Mr..
Taylor is thoroughly competent engi-
neer and mine man having for long
time been connected with the Jay Iron
Works and Foundry Company of Michi-
gan and coming direct to Tonopah from
the Pacific Iron Works in California.
He is the leading spirit back of the
movement. The new company will
be equipped to make any piece of ma
chinery for engines of all kinds as well
as mining and milling machinery. A
special department will be devoted to
automobiles. Castings Of all metals in
cluding brass and bronze will be made.
The shop will be capable of turning out
castings up to 5 tons. The site for the
new company has not as yet been
definitely settled although there are
several in view. At the present time a
plot of ground near the Midway mill
has the first call and it is stated that
in all probability this is where the plant
will be built. AS the needs require the
plant will be enlarged from time to
time. This innovation is sure to result
in great saving in time as well as at
least so per cent in cost. 1t is now
necessary in order to replace broken
parts to send to the coast. The nearest
foundry is at Reno but in as much as
they are taxed to their full capacity
most of the time little relief can be
afforded from that quarter. Under the
able management of Mr., Taylor the
success of the undertaking is assured
and it will be but matter of little
while before large force is employed
in the new shops.

GREENWATER
MARVELLOUS
Substantial Buildings Taking the
Place Of Temporary Ones
at that Place

A BONANZA representative had the
pleasure of an interview with one of
largest stockholders in the Death Val
ley and Greenwater Copper Company,
who has just returned from that sec
tiOn of the country. He states that he
had only been absent from that camp
for three weeks and the number of
buildings that were erected during his
absence was simply astounding.
Large stone buildings are rapidly TAX
ing the places Of the temporary frames
which were constructed in the infancy
of the camp, but as building material
has to be hauled great distance, even
the stone structures grow in surprising
rapidity.
In joking manner he stated that
wood and water are both scarce, but
there is plenty of ore to even up the
scarcity of the wood and water.
Engineers are at present figuring on
two different pipe lines and at the close
of the year Greenwater will have
enough water to supply 10000 people.
The distance from Los Angeles to
Greenwater is in the neighborhood of
$50 miles, and even at that the merch-
ants in Los Angeles have made the
Greenwater business men a figure
whereby it pays them to have their
freight hauled from that section of the
country, while portion is shipped from
Salt Lake City. At present 300 ami
mails are used in the transportation of
freight, but even with that number it
is found to be impossible to handle the
freight.
Arthur Kunzie, the original locator,
is at the of the Company and is per-
sonally supervising all workings of the
Company's holdings. He has a force
of men at work preparing foundation
for the heavy machinery which is due
to arrive, and once this machinery is
installed all eyes of the mining world
will look toward Greenwater.
fatsy clark s property, which is sit
uated two miles west of the Death
Valley and Greenwater Copper Com
pany's holdings, is working thirty men,
and as depth is attained the percentage
of copper is increased. Great is the de-
posit of wealth in the "Sage Brush"
State of Nevada, each day we hear of
untold riches just discovered, and even
then the story has not half been told.

Report From Fairview.

DR.. L. H. Teal has lust returned from
the Fairview district and brings most
encouraging news as we'll as a few
specimen rocks from the Nevada Hills
Tunnel No. 4, The Nixon Wingfield
Fairview Eagle and the Hailstone. The
Nevada Hills rock runs about 1000
ounces silver and 80 ounces gold. The
Nixon Wingfeld ore would seem to run
about 5000 to the ton according to assay.
The Hailstone which is controlled by
Messrs. Langley and Trumble of Tono-
pah adjoins the Fairview Eagle. Rock
taken from 10-foot hole about 300 feet
from the latter property runs from 5000
to $70O in gold and silver. This was
secured from stringer in a 12-foot
ledge. The Taylor lease about 200 feet
from the Hailstone have struck ledge
which has been cut for Is feet and the
walls not yet encountered. They shipped
ore the entire depth of the shaft. The
outlook throughout this section GER
tainly is bright. Lots of people are
coming in and active work is being done
on all properties. The first of next
year will no doubt see eight or ten
shipping mines. At Wonder DIR. Teal
says that the Jack Pot has a shipment
ready that will run about $500 per ton.
The railroad is practically completed to
Fallon, which is about midway between
Hazen and Fairview. The wagon road
the balance of the way is in good shape,
especially that portion through the
marshes built by the government some
35 years ago.

Equipment for Railroad.

The first installment Of the new roll
ing stock for the Tonopah and Goldfield
railroad arrived during the past week.
The train is composed of two passen-
ger coaches and one baggage car. One
OF the new coaches is already in service
between San Francisco and Goldfield.
1t is expected that another train will be
received in very short time. The new
coaches, which are the most up to date
ever turned out by the Pullman Com
pany, have seating capacity of about
70 people each. They are painted an
olive green and the name ''Tonopah,
Bullfrog and Goldield Railroad painted
in gold letters. They are solid vesti-
bules throughout and handsomely and
luxuriously upholstered. What with
the new stock just received and that
soon to be expected the railroad COM
pany will soon be in position to trans
port its passengers in the greatest COM
fort. Just when the road will be COM
pleted to Bullfrog is at present un-
known.

A Building Boom.

Tonopah is at present enjoying one of
the healthiest building booms it has
ever witnessed. The State Bank and
Trust four story building is now going
ahead and progressing as fast as ma
terial can be furnished. The first story
is nearing completion.
The III. A. McKim" two story
store building is in the hands of the
finishers and inside of 80 days will see
this grand edifice ready for occupancy.
The new Merchants hotel has the
foundation all laid and as soon as the
necessary material arrives we will have
one of the finest hotels in the State.
1t is to be four stories in height, elec-
trio lighted, telephones and steam
heaters in every room. A more
modern structure will not be found this
side of Chicago.
The Tonopah Liquor Company's two
story stone saloon is jHst half finished
and by the first of December this will
add to Tonopah's beauty another struc-
ture that cannot be beaten by work
manship.
Several five and six room cottages
were started during the past week on
Bryan avenue, and two are now in the
course of construction on University
Heights. Each one is a credit to
carpentership and adds beauty to our
desert city,"

Butler Hall Under Auspices
St. Patrick'S Church

A delightful affair was given last
Saturday evening at Butler Hall under
the auspices of the Sanctuary Society
of st. Patrick's Church. Butler Hall
never presented more attractive in
terror than on this occasion, and to the
reception committee ~ Miss O'Meara,
Mrs. ]. P. O'Brien, Mrs. Douglass,
Mrs. Walter Agenw, Miss Kelly, Miss
Lucas and the Misses Ahern-much
credit is due for the social success of

arranged for cards and progressive
whist was played for two hours and the
continental change of partners added
greatly to the enjoyment of the even
ing. At the conclusion of the game
light refreshments were served and

the fortunate winner of the ladies' first
prize, handsome silver and glass fern
holden, which was donated by Mrs.
Frank Golden. The contest for the
ladies' second prize resulted in tie be-
tween Mrs. Coykendall and Miss Fini-
gan, and by lucky cut, Miss Finigan
was awarded beautiful silver creamer.
A silver match box was the gentle
mans first prize and won by Mr.. A.
Peterson. The second prize, a silver
collar button box, was won by Mr.. D.
O'Brien and Miss O'Brien was solaced
by a Topsy doll. this being the consola-
ton favor. The remainder of the even
ing was agreeably passed in conversa-
tion, music and games. Owing to his
ability, blindfolded, to pin the tale of
the donkey, Mr.. Perkins was presented
with wonderful cake. The ladies wish
to convey their thanks to all those who
so willingly co-operated in the success
of the evening by contributing their
services and various supplies.

Manhattan-Butler.

Mr.. Henry Overberg, superintendent
of the Ohio-Tonopah, returned this
week from Manhattan where he spent
ten days. He stated that the property
of the Manhattan-B Butler was looking
fine. The property is about four miles
east of the town of Manhattan. Very
large ledges have been found running
from 10 to rs feet in width. The
management is preparing to run several
tunnels. Mr.. Overberg said that from
the surface indications he expected to
see one of the greatest milling mines in
this section developed There is plenty
of wood and water close to the prop
erty. Mr.. Baldwin, president of the
company, is expected to arrive from
the east very soon and will make a
personal inspection of the ground.

larly employed and it is the general

Labor Troubles at Millers.

Reports of labor strike on the plant
of the Desert Power and Milling Com
pany's plant at Miller's Siding reached
this place last Saturday. An inquiry
at the Office of the Tonopah Mining
Company developed that the report was
somewhat exaggerated. The trouble
which was of minor Importance was
quickly settled and no delay on the
constructing occasioned. The whole
trouble arose from remarks alleged to
have been made by one of the shift
foreman. W. L. Moore, general super
intendent for the C. C. Moore Com
pany, who are doing the work, invited
the men to meet him at his house. In
as much as he was unable to secure any
definite testimony against the foreman
Mr.. Moore felt bound to take no action.
Upon his refusal "a men asked for their
time and left the mill without ado.

pah. 1t is said that charges have been
entered at the local union headquarters
against the foreman. Work on the
mill is rapidly progressing and will be
completed next month.

NalcaIda Mill Started

Work was started Thursday on the
excavation for the new mill to be
erected by Valcalda mining company at
Silver Peak. The pipe line was COM
pleted on Wednesday and an all suffi-
cient supply of water is on hand. The
new mill will contain 10 stamps for the
present, but will be so constructed as
to prrmit of the addition of a similar
number later on. Mr.. Knight of the
company is now in Denver for the pur-
pose of expediting the shipping of the
necessary machinery, and advises that
part is already on the way.

Reported Strike at Phonolite.

l.. Z. Perclval returned yesterday
from Phonolite, where he states great
excitement exists over the possibilities
of that section and that regular STAN
pede is on. 1t seems that man named
Cramer accompanied by some other
prospectors made a journey into the
hills near Phonolite and were startled
by the surface showings they found.
Cramer would not let any of his friends
leave the spot until all the ground was
located. They stayed about two weeks
and between them located 81 claims.
This ia t accounts for the reason that
the new find did not before reach the
outer world. The spot is about 12O
miles from Tonopah and 80 miles beyond
lone. Assays made of pieces of rock
taken from the groupings it is reported
run from $460 to 81, 100. The entire
district is covered with fine float and
give every indication that placer min
ing would prove profitable. The roads
in the neighborhood are very good but
the property is eight miles from water.
1t has been found that after going
down about two feet the ground is very
damp and it is thought that it may be
possible to sink wells and so procure
water right on the property. A party
composed of death Valley Red" C.
r. Scott and Percival, went out to try
and get some ground, but were obliged
to go three miles beyond as it was all
taken up. Croker, of the Peerless
Auto Company, made visit to the scene
and has described the property as the
greatest he has ever seen. 1t is said
that the new ground is open for leasers
and that one of the locators said he
would not part with his one-ninth in
terest for 500, 900.

Mizpah Hotel to be Enlarged.

Reports are current of the intention
of Messrs. Govan and Brougher to
build an addition to their present build
ing on Main street. 1t is said that they
will erect four-story addition on the
plot of ground now occupied by the
Mizpah bar. When completed the new
building is understood to be occupied by
Mizpah Hotel. Doorways will be cut
in the wall of the present building
thereby throwing the new and old
structures into one. The exact details
have not been learned, although it is
expected that the work will soon be
commenced.
