THE FAIR AT NIGHT.
Several ThoasAnd Pefsons Drawn To
 Park To See "POmpell.o

Park To See "P0mpeii."
 crowd numbering from 3.000 to c. 900 persons went to vandiver Park at night to see the first exhibition of Pains Destruction of Pompeii." which arrived at the grounds yesterday norn- ing.
 From s o'clock in the evening. until an hour after the performance. the cars were packed with the sightseers. he grounds were brilliantly lighted with arc lights. and with a number of the smaller attractions doing business, the Park presented a lively appearance
 While the "Pompeii' spectacle was the center of attraction, many of the people who had been unable to Attend the Fair during the day. took advantage of the evening opening to go at night. The different exhibit buildings were closed to the public, but many inspect ed the exterior of the structures. and patronized the different stands where eatable and soft drinks wer sold. At several of the booths on the grounds. photographs rehearsed songs and mu- sic. giving to the place a pleasure re- sort air.
 At the close of the "fompeii' spec tacle, pyrotechnic display was given in which the pictures of Mayor Teague and other prominent citizens appea red in fire. Before tonight all the smaller attractions of the Fair will be operat- ing in full blast.

 means wealth or poverty in this sec tion. We have 60 per cent. of the iron in the country We have 60 per cent of the timber of the country. We have the best lands. and the finest race of people In the world. We have complete monopoly of cotton in our hands All we need is to use our brains."
 Mir. Smith Introduced.
 Following President Jordan. Major w. w. Screws, of Montgomery, inho- duced E. D. Smith. financial agent and State organizer of the, Southern Cot ton Association. Nothing was more suspicious, he said, than on the open ing day of the Fair to have the op- portunity of having the great ques- ton under discussion talked upon by two of the most prominent cotton au- thorities in the South. He present. ed Mir. Smith as man who has been close to bone and sinew of the State. but who has during the last few months travelled through the highways and byways of Alabama in a way that few men have.

OLD TOWN OF DAYTON
BEING RESURRECTED.
Brief Resume of Events in the Old Camp Present Com
dtions and Future Prospects
ng the past thirteen years.

| ing the past thirteen years.
In the Winter of 1893 he erect
ed the first cyanide plant in the
State, in which he operated upon
the concentrates, recovered from
the Carson River by the dredger
of the Carson River Placer Mining
and Dredging CO. In January,
1907, he commenced the construc-
ton of this company's cyanide
plant, one of the largest and best
equipped to be found anywhere
on this Coast. With daily ca
pacity of IS tons of tailings, it
forms an admirable and handy ad-
junct to the company's mill, better
known from its location, as the
Rock Point mill, which, with its
twenty stamps of 1000 pounds
each, disposes daily of sixty tons
of ore Just now Tonopah and
Goldheld furnish an abundance of
high grade rock. The manage
ment was fortunate in securing as
foreman of the concern the SER
vices of John Sullivan Of Empire,
an expert mill man for the past
thirty years.
Dwight Smith, lately professor
of the Virginia City school of
mines, in charge of the company's
laboratory, is kept busy from one
weeks end to the other.
Frank ]. Kornmayer, of Reno, is
the efficient superintendent.
Mr.. Davis is entirely self-made
made man, energetic to high de-
gree, but, withal, very practical,
even to such an extent as to man
ufacture in his several and especi-
ally designed shops, nearly every
implement and utensil, needed
about the mill and cyanide plant,
including the many heavy wagons
employed in hauling ore and tail
ings.
Captain Davis justly prides him
self on possessing the best and
most extensive metallurgical Ii
brary in Nevada, so acknowledged
by representative men and visit
ing students of our State Univer-
sity, and, perhaps, there is no
other man a better connoisseur of
minerals than he.
Considering his aforementioned
interests here, together with his
many valuable mining properties,
including the celebrated Hayward,
recently acquired in the Silver
City district, Herman Davis, in
deed, deserves the reputation OF
being the most prominent and pro-
gressive man i'm this section, and, in
conclusion, it should be added that
this gentlemen never handled, nor
had occasion to handle, outside
capital, as the profits of the Ne
vada Reduction Works guarantee
fund amply sufficient for further
investment on an extended scale.
THE COURT HOUSE.
All the business appertaining to
the county is transacted in one
substantial building of brick and
stone.
The present incumbents consti-
tute an efficient and courteous set
of officials. All of them, with the
exception of one, have been hon
ored with more than one election,
John Lothrop has served the
county the greatest number OF
consecutive terms. For the past
twenty-five years he has been
either the legal adviser or District
Attorney. Prior to 1874 he filled
other county Offices in the capacity
of a deputy.

Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1906-02-10

There is no other town IN Lyon
county, Nevada, with more
eventful history, as regards its age,
its fluctuating population and gen.
orally checkered fortunes than
Dayton, situate on the Carson
River, at the mouth of Gold Cam
yon, and in the direct path of earl
lest overland and present railroad
travel.
1t dates its origin back to the
Fall of I84o, when certain John
McMarlin established a trading
post for the purpose of supplying
immigrants and the miners, who
were prospecting everywhere in
the vicinity, coming by degrees
nearer to the gravel banks and
bars in Gold Canyon, where, right
at its mouth, not quite two years
later, the first gold was discovered
in Nevada, then Western Utah.
An influx of half-hundred Chi
nese in 1886, who worked the
white mans diggings over and over
again, rapidly increased to four
times that number, with the result
that the place bore the name of
chinatown" during several years,
after which it was called Mineral
Rapids" until it became finally
changed to its present name in
1861, having received permanent
Endorsement in a meeting of repre-
sentative citizens, held on Novem-
ber 3 of the same year.
With the discovery of the Com
stock mines and the subsequent
erection of over score of quartz
mills along the Carson River, Day
tons population gradually grew to
200 in number and held its own
pretty much until the total de-
struction of silver as a money
