GREAT ACTIVITY is SHOWN.
Travel through here to the camp has
increased and a number of mining ex-
perts are looking carefully over prop

pective buyers. The announcement by
the Tonopah Exploration Company.
which controls the large majority of
the water supplies that could be
brought to the camp, that it would at
once prepare to erect mill for the
treatment of its own ores and for GUS
tom work, has been hailed with delight
In Manhattan. Another company back
ed by Salt Lake capitalists is looking
over the ground and there is some pros
pect that 1t means business. These
lacts all point to a revival or the ac-
tiv1ty that the San Francisco disaster
followed by the opening OF the summer
season brought on.
Probably the greatest excitement in
the mining fields of this region just at
this time centers around Greenwater,
the wonderful copper district in Inyo
County. Cal, fifteen miles from the Ne
vada line. Many local men are heavily
interested there and the mining heavy
weights of the country, Schwab. Wal
lace, Hinze, Newhouse, Senator Clark
of Montana and Patsy Clark are also
at work.
BOOM AT GREENWATER.
j. w. A Off, president of the Off
McGarvin- Brown Company of Los An
geles, has returned here from Green
water. He states that the roads are
crowded with men and freight moving
into the camp. He estimates that dur
ing his stay at least fifty men a day
arrived.
OFF says that Greenwater has the
most wonderful showings on the sur
face he has ever seen, and he has in
vestigated the big camps of this coun-
try and Mexico. He cites one instance
where width of three feet of solid
35 per cent copper is exposed. He says
that the country Is covered with a
heavy iron Gaping and that the re-
moval of this shows rich ore. Lodges
he declares run from twenty-five to
400 feet in width and there are many
of them. The Furnace Creek Copper
Company. owned by Patsy Clark, has
reached a depth of 1S0 feet and proven
values all the way
The large operators of Tonopah, NAL
colin Macdonald, Donald 3. Gillies and
others, hold the original location of
Greenwater and recently formed a big
company to work the ground. They
also control the telephone company and
have directed that the wires be extend
ed from Bullfrog to Greenwater.

station in the government of the archi-
pelago, the Governor General was in
enthusiastic and reminiscent mood
Governor Smith spoke at length on
the State soldiery aud of the good serv-
ice 1T had done. Among the practical
things he had to urge was that, as the
soldier fights ION his stomach" every
care should be taken TO provide each
company with competent cooks. Food
was abundant in the Philippine COM
paign, he explained, but the lack of
proper preparat on was the cause of the
many complaints the men made.
Experiences in the war were recount

the officers who had served with him.

and robbed by two masked men on the
Ocean boulevard shortly after midnight.
at least Alderman was. The robbers
secured S5 and overlooked $50 which
their victim had secreted in an inner
pocket.
The young men, accompanied by two
girl friends, rode out to the beach on
an electric car and were walking down
the boulevard toward Sheehan's Tav-
ern when out of the darkness stepped
the pair of midnight prowlers. each
armed with big revolver.
Hands up, and be quick about it,
came the order.
The girls screamed but the hands Of
their escorts went promptly skyward.
Hand out your coin.' was the next
command.
Alderman began a hard luck story,
which was quickly cut short, and he
passed over So III silver.
Titus took advantage of the fact that
the attention of the footpads was mo-
mentarily diverted from him to escape.
He dashed away and disappeared in the
darkness before the robbers realized
that he was gone.
The footpads ran away in the oppo-
site direction and Alderman made his
way to the Beach Tavern with his
frightened girl friends. They were

valuable medicine, instead OF deleteri-

TONOPAH, New, Aug. 11.-A con-
solidation of considerable i'm
portance to this camp has been
announced by holders of the
Rescue, Afterthought and Eulea claims,
located on the hill adjoining the Dig
mines The incorporation Of the new
company has not been completed, but II
is known that Frank Golden, presi-
dent of the Nye and Ormsby Bank. is
behind the deal and that other proml-
nent operators are associated with him.
The group is one that has attracted
considerable attention and 1t is stated
on good authority that DR.. Hugens of
San Francisco the original locator of
the ground has refused hattering Of
fers for the property. The claims end
line the properties of the Belmont, To-
nopah Mining and North Star companies
and r. Q. side lines of the Jim Butler
group. 1t is the general belief among
mining men of the camp that the Lodges
of the big producing mines around
which the camp has grown dip into the
group had by the consolidated COM
pany and will be, easily found there.
The properties adjoining the new
venture have been shipping ore and
paying dividends for years and If the
belief of the mining men Is justified
the undertaking will prove of great
value to the camp.
ToNOPAH IS PROGRESSIVE.
Another event of no little Importance
to this camp is the ordering of an off,
cial survey of the streets and alleyways
by the County Commissioners sitting as
Governors of the town. Tonopah is not
incorporated and there was no original
townsite laid out at the inception of the
camp. All property is purchased from
the mining companies holding the
ground and great confusion as to the
exact location of the streets and by
ways has resulted from the fact that
no proper survey existed. The Com
missioners hesitated to infiict the eX-
pense of the operation on the county,
but have been advised by attorneys that
it is their right to incur an indebted
ness for the town in case of pressing
need which this is deemed to be. The
work will be started at once and the
location of all streets definitely fixed.
Conditions at Manhattan appear to be
improving and the decided advance in
many stocks Of that camp indicates
that investors are again taking an in
terest in this region. Within the past
week reports have reached here of sew
eral remarkably rich finds in we'll
known properties, which are received
by mining men acquainted with condi-
tions as reliable. The purchase of the

PoPULIsTs NOMINATE

All that's left of populism in Iowa
gathered in Des Moines Tuesday and
nominated state ticket. A capital
city alderman never heard of before
outside Of Des Moines is named as the
standard bearer. Calamity" Weller,
who has been the populist candidate
for governor several times, and has
been the recognized leader Of the par
ty, was in too i'll health to be present,
but his service Of the past was recog-
med by his associates, who placed him
nized by his associates, who placed him
of the supreme court.
Annually the party has been grad
ually disappearing, the ranks having
been thinned by the process of return
ing to the republican and democratic
parties. Populism at one time cut quite
a figure in Iowa politics, but like var
GUS other political organizations that
were not founded on solid rocks it was
doomed to destruction.
Some able men have been identified
with it, but their ability was turned
in the wrong direction and their en-
ergy misapplied. They have spent
their time and thousands Of dollars in
money to build up an organization that
would be a formidable rival to the
leading party, but the democrats alb
sorbed a portion of their planks for the
purpose of keeping their own members
in the ranks, and the prosperity that
was promised and delivered by the
republicans has attracted many away
from populism, which they were led to
believe at one time was the only saw
ior of the nation

WHERE THERE'S CONFIDENCE.

Confidence Is valuable asset, es-
pecially in financial circles. In private
business this is realized daily in every
city and town, but 1T stands out to
the whole world in the case of the run
on the Pullman Loan and Savings
bank Monday, when the city banks
stood ready to turn over thousands
and thousands of dollars to satisfy the
hungry depositors.
In the case of the Milwaukee
Avenue Savings bank and the Phila-
delphia Real Estate and Trust com.
pany the officers sought aid from the
other banks of Chicago and Philadel-
phia, but it was not forthcoming. The
other institutions either had knowl.
edge or suspected that there was
something rotten and when the call
for aid came 1t was met by cold re-
fusal
When the run on the Pullman bank
was started President Bryant was on
suburban train bound for the city.
He was notified at one of the stations,
and when he went to the big banks of
Chicago, he was probably unable to
tell them what started the run, and
even If he knew they had only his
word for it. But when he asked for
assistance, the streams of yellow and
the green flowed out from two or three
of the big institutions in quantities
that would stagger the ordinary man.
The bankers knew that the total
liabilities Of the Pullman institution
were less than $4,O00,OOO. and with
such men as Colonel Frank o. Lowden,
Robert T. Lincoln and John s. Run
nells behind the bank there was little
fear of the returns in full not being
made for the loans The business
circles of Chicago had confidence in
the men, and from cold blooded
business standpoint probably had more
confidence in the millions they are
known to possess.

SEC. WILSON OPTIMISTIC.

Des Moines Capital of
Agriculture Wilson. our own "Tama
JIM" Is not worried over the prob
lem of feeding and lodging the 2O0,-
100000 Americans. who in fifty years,
according to President J. ]. Hill, will
constitute this nation. In recent in
tervew in the New York Tribune, Sec
rotary Wilson, while complimenting
President Hill upon the completeness
and farsightedness which character
lied his recent speech at the Mime
sofa State fair, takes a more optimis-
tic view Of the future. He is con-
v1nced that in event of the ultimate ex-
haustion of wood, oil and COAL the
farmer will meet that by the produc-
ton from potatoes of cheap alcohol.
An expert has been sent to Europe
to study and bring back the seed of
the big stock potatoes raised there for
alcohol and stock food, while still 9TH
ers are investigating the uses of alco-
hol for heat and power. Regarding
the exhaustion of iron, Secretary Will
son did not venture an opinion, that
being out of his line.
The secretary admitted the accur-

superior economy of British farmers in
growing small grain. The British grow
on an average thirty bushels of wheat
to the acre, as compared with ours of
less than fifteen, but Mr.. Wilson de-
clares that we can get thirty if we will
but adopt their methods. While he
was director Of the Iowa experiment
station Mr. Wilson secured between
thirty and forty bushels of wheat to
the acre. He called attention to the
improved manner in which the Missis-
sippi valley farmer is growing corn,
employing an intelligent system of ro-
tation, which is highly profitable and
beneficial to the soil, SO that on many
farms in Iowa better corn is raised to.
day than was the case fifty years ago.
Presidents Hills fears as to the Ia
Dor question on the farm Secretary
Wilson admitted are well-founded but
his hope lies in the use of better and
more productive appliances. Farm
work is becoming more and more a
matter of machinery, done by whole
sale, as 1t were, and Mr.. Wilson has
hope that American inventive genius
will continue to lessen the burden of
the tiller Of the soil by designing ma
chinery Of still greater effectiveness.
Secretary Wilson has firm faith in
irrigation. He is not worrying so much
about the land which lies below the
level Of the ditch as that which lies
above it, and to which water cannot
be taken. But here he is not hopeless.
The department OF agriculture is find-
ing crops that will grow on it, such as
Durum wheat, grown for centuries 10
Algeria and dry parts Of Russia, and
which will produce a good crop in ten
inches Of rainfall. Last year 1O,000,OO0
bushels of this wheat were
grown in this country, and
the output will be consider
ably increased this year. Another Pc
