TO ISSUE NEW YEARS EDITION

On New Years day will appear an
elaborate edition of the Tonopah
Bonanza. 1t will be highly illus
trated and will contain extensive
and interesting articles on the south
ern mining country. A staff of spe-
cial writer's will be secured to col
lect the data, and a most complete
publication is promised. 1t behooves
the people of Tonopah to give their
unqualified support to the project,
which will mean so much to the
camp and which is to be prepared
at great cost in order to afford
our readers the best mining paper
possible.

CAMPS RAPID GROWTH

The Greenwater of month ago
was a camp of a dozen tents. Today
il is a thriving town. New build
ings are going up as fast as lumber
can be delivered. A census taken on
October 20 would have totaled the
population of Greenwater at 70. Yes
terday this total reached 1000. Not
less than 100 permanent residents
pour in every twenty-four hours. The
500 experienced miners now on the
ground went to work on the Clark
and Schwab properties an hour
after their arrival. The demand for
labor exceeds the present supply.
Far down all the trails leading to
the camp pickets are posted by the
mine superintendents for a first
call on the services of incoming
workers

GOLDFIELD, Nov 15.-To de-

water would be to describe a STAN
pede. Since the sudden realization
Of the tremendous strike on this
black crest of the funeral mountains,
trumpeted to the world less than a
fortnight ago, the trails across
Death valley and the Amargosa des-
ert have day by day become almost
congested. Automobiles, stages, bur-
ros, mules, wagons and bronzed men
plodding afoot have defined the
winding highways in thick clouds of
Gust from dawn to twilight. Kings
of the mining world have lived on
bread and water and slept on barren
lodges 10 miles to tn east and west
of Greenwater for the sake of miss

The plutocrats created by the dozen
in Goldfield's great boom have grab

SCARCITY OF WATER

SCARCITY OF WATER
To get water for this crowding
population has been tremendous
task. Water in Greenwater two
cost SIS a barrel. A month ago it
cost $3.50 a barrel. In another
week all the water that the camp can
use will be pouring into it's huge
tanks through pipes running all the
way from Ash Meadows. Machin-
cry for the development of the
mines is being hauled from Johnnie
in mule-team caravans. Yesterday
there were four carloads of such ma
chinery sidetracked at Johnnie, the
nearest railroad station. The freight
ing of the goods and passengers into
Greenwater has reached so great
volume that the firms engaged in
this business will Immediately add
1000 horses and $50 wagons to their
present outfit Yet the inadequacy
Of all these increased facilities, under
the tremendous pressure of in
creased demands, seems to diminish
little If you want thing brought
to Greenwater, and cared for in
Greenwater, you are wise to do your
own getting and providing. That is
the way that w. ]. Cleary, represen-

SURFACE SHoWINGS
The reason for Greenwater's aug
menting boom is not hard to find.
The experts investigating the big
belt of copper deposits here center
ed agree on two luminous facts; the
surface showings in this district sur
pass those made in any other copper
territory; the extent of the deposits
is greater than that of Butte, or Bis
bee, or combination of all the rest
of the copper districts in Montana
and Arizona. The big investors in
Greenwater claims are satisfied or
those points. They are now seeking
the values to be FOUND at depth
And a token of what they are likely
to find is furnished by Patsy Clark

Quilting Bee

On Wednesday. Jan. 18th, the ladies
Of the Baptist Aid Society gathered to-
gether for a quilting" with Mrs D S
Ballard, who had offered her h~ospitable
home for this occasion. About thirty
ladies were present, all coming early
and ready for a good days work. Soon
the needles were flying and the work
was begun in earnest At IL O'Clock
all were invited to the dining room,
where the table fairly groaned beneath
the sumptous repast, making n think
of rye olden times in the days of
Quilting Bees. Bro. K~imbrough, an
honorary member, offered thanks to the
''Giver of ALP and asking guidance
and blessings on those assembled, who
were trying SO faithfully to perform
the Masters work. giving their time
and prayers for the great cause. All
brought appetites that did justice tothe
dinner, after which they returned to
work with renewed zeal. Four
quilts, completed, was the result of this
happy event, showing that it had been
a day we'll spent. The Society was
unanimous in their warm praises to Mrs
Ballard for the use of her hospitable
home, for her kind and sweet manner.
She made each one feel that it vas in
deed an honor to be a member of the
Baptist Aid Society.
The band Of workers then parted, GO
ing to their various homes, each feeling
helped for this day spent so pleasantly
and profitably and feeling that it was
good to let the wheels of time turn
backward to the days of their mothers
and old fashioned Quilting Bees.

Mr.. John Clark.

The entire community was shocked
Friday morning by the sad announce
ment that at four o'clock Mr.. John
Clark had suddenly expired at his home
on Main street. Mr.. Clark had been
sick for about a week, suffering from
neuralgia of the heart, but he had been
able to be out and on Tuesday was at
the stockholders meeting of the Bank
of Tupelo, of which institution he was
president. and his family and friends
did not realize that the end was so near.
Death came peacefully and in the still
hours of the morning the big heart
ceased to beat and the soul of him who
was for so long the leading spirit of III
little city, passed into the great beyond.
Few men occupying the positions of
trust and honor held by MI. Clark.
would have so managed the affairs of
each, and 50 welded the influence of
his position, and used his private means
in a manner to bestow substantial bene-
fits on every citizen of the community
as did Mr.. Clark. A man of far-reach-
ing judgment, bold in the exercise of
the magnificent executive powers he
possessed, imbued with a spirit of pro-
gress, liberal to a fault in sharing his
successes with his fellowman, John
Clark led the way in everything looking
to the upbuilding of his town and his
people. At no time did he ever betray
a selfish motive in business affairs, and
although he met with losses he was
never harsh or exacting in his dealings
with those who were under obligations
to him. The young man who aspired to
better his condition always found in Mr..
Clark a ready friend, a wise counselor
and one who was ready to aid him with
substantial encouragement. In the
shortcomings of other people no man
had greater sympathy or forbearance;
charity for all, malice towards M
In charities he was generous to a fault
and without ostentation bestowed lib
eral gifts upon all worthy objects. AS
a friend he drew people to him dheld
them in the closest ties. In the family
circle he was known, appreciated and
loved best. His family at all times
were the recipients of his tenderest
solicitude and the love of his great heart
was showered upon those nearest and
dearest to him. To them the loss is ir-
reparable, but through the mists of
their tears there is the assurance that
we shall all live again, and somewhere,
sometime, we shall meet again.
The funeral services were held at the
Methadist church where Mr.. Lewis
spoke in eloquent terms of the life and
character of the deceased. The floral
offerings were beautiful. many lovely
designs coming from a distance. The
.pall-bearers were among the closest
friends and business associates Of de-
ceased. A large %concourse followed the
remains to the cemetery where the sad
rites were paid.
Farewell, generous hearted friend.
Peace to your ashes, and may the sod
rest lightly above thee.
