OF
TRADE ACTS

The Tonopah Board of Trade took a
very active interest in the adjustment
of affairs, acting as intermediary be-
tween the Miners Union and the mine
owners, and much good was accom-
plished through its efforts. The out
come of this means much more than is
at once apparent to the casual obser-
yer. Besides the fact that a perma-
nent good feeling has been established
between the operators and the men, it
means that Nevada mining securities
will not suffer through a long drawn
out contest for supremacy between the
two factions; it means no curtailing of
production at the mines and consequent
higher prices for their stocks. 1t also
assures many and large investments in
these securities aud vast sums of
money for the development of the
younger camps of the State
1t should not be understood that the
questions involved in late differences
between the mine employers and the
employed were of any great impor-
lance. The men, all of whom are
members Of the local Miners Union,
called for and insisted upon an eight
hour day to both the miners and the
men employed on top of the ground,
such as ore s~orters, engineers, fremen,
m%achinists and carpenters. The
schedule, as presented to the mine
owners, after discussion was agreed to,
their reply to the union carrying with
it a demand that they agree by con-
tract or otherwise to continue it in
force for a period of three years.
Through all of these negotiations the
committees appointed by the Tonopah
Board of Trade were most active and
after repeated interviews with the two
interests finally brought them together
and secured immediate and finalresults.
On Sunday afternoon the president
and secretary of the Miners Union
accompanied by a board of trade com
mittee met the Mine Operators Asso-
citation at the office of F. A. Keith of
the Tonopah Mining company, where
matters were fully discussed and an
agreement between the two commit
tees for a three-year operation Of the
schedule was made, whereupon a full
meeting of the Miners Union was
/, called to meet at the Miners Exchange
hall the following day-Monday-whicf
body passed a resolution ratifying the
, action of their officials. Thus all in.
terests are harmonized and the pros
perity of the Nevada camps is aassureC
for a long time to ONE
1t is safe to state that Tonopah'!
: position is unique in the quick ant
r harmonious control of conditions which
elsewhere in the past have resulted il
much trouble, all of which shows tn
D desire upon the part Of its mine wner
E for fair play and the nigh intelligence
0 and excellent judgment of its miner
t and both are to be congratulated 70
n their cooperation which means s
f much for Nevada.
r Throughout these negotiations tn
$ Tonopah Board of Trade has demon
strated itself to be a very importan
factor in the present and future wei
fare of Tonopah.
a Tonopah's growth will now procee
without interruption. With a bette
] feeling, and established labor condt
lions there is nothing that can stand i
the way of her successful career.

There is no City Like Tonopah

Judge George w. Baker, father of
Ray Baker, our fellow townsman,
spent yesterday in Tonopah on his way
to his home at Oakland from Goldfield,
whittier he had gone on legal business.
Judge Baker is a pioneer Nevadan and
for many years was a Nevada attorney
for the Southern Pacific company. OF
late years he has been a resident OF
Oakland and is now recognized as n
of the leading legal lights of that city.
He came to Nevada in 1869, taking up
his residence at Eureka, where he
remained 81 years in the practice of
his profession, and where five OF his
six children were born. In speaking
of the southern mines Judge Baker
said: 81 have travelled all over Ne
vada from Reno to Phoebe but this is
nv first visit to Tonopah. | had heard
much of the place but had not the
slightest conception of what it really
was until my arrival. must say that
this city, which is not more than six
years old, puts on more genuine metro
politan airs than did Eureka at the age
Of 20. Of all the cities in the State
Tonopah certainly stands at the head
of the list and the thrift, energy and
enterprise of its people can be seen on
all sides. had formed the impression
that the climate would be ~disagreeable
but | am far from thinking s. now.
The heat during the day is not exces.
sive and the nights are always coo
affording the enjoyment of restfu
Sleep" Judge Baker lost everything
in the San Francisco fire, including
$40, 900 library. He will return to Ton
opah in a short time and says it i
probable that he will locate her
permanently.

In our last issue appeared the an
nouncement that Judge ]. P. Brissell
was a candidate for the office of Justice
of the Peace of Tonopah township,
subject to the decision of the Demo-
cratic county convention. Since then,
however, the Judge has changed his
mind cutting out the party color
and now announces himself as a candi-

HOT TIME And
SWIFT KICK
BurrO Buel BOunceS a Brother
Of the Big Burly Stiff

An amusing affair took place in the
office of our neighbor and contemporary,
the Sun, last Tuesday morning when
Herbert T. Shaw entered the sanctum
sanctorum of that journal, and, making
himself o~bstreperous, was bounced out
with neatness and dispatch by A. V.
Buel, the Suns athletic %cartoonist. 1t
appears that this man Shaw, whose
profile is is in lstrict conformity with
that of the jack-of-spades and whose
physique is based upon the anatomical
principle of the maggot with the fatty
end abaft and who thrives on a similar
diet, is an agitator and declaims nightly
from a rock pile OF the streets on the
alleged existing errors of political
economy. Italso appears that he is a
disciple and the ~vice-gerent of the ''big
stiff" Roberts of the 81. w. w. Il
won't work. fame, of whom we make
complimentary ?mentionin our lastissue
AS such, Shaw took exception to the
Suns crucifiction in a recent article,
of his modern tin jesus and v~ehemently
demanded restitution, retraction or
some other old thing.
He was told by Editor Branson to
leave the premises, and, when he re-
fused to do so, Mr.. Buel the artist,
seized him by the nape of the neck and
the seat of his pajamas and bad him
Godspeed and a hasty departure out of
the front door, emphasizing his exit
with a swift kick on his big, broad back
side. He went with the cha has of
the lockers on.
We understand that there are a few
in town who deplore the violent
treatment and mourn because of it.
To these, sad as it may be, we have
but little worldly consolation to offer,
but commend them to an all-wise and
beneficient providence who hath said,
BLESSED are they that mourn for they
shall be comforted." AS for Shaw, We
compliment him upon his extraordinary
activity in keeping ahead in the "centel
rush. for the door and pat him on thu
back for having shown more bottom
than could any other man of his siz'
and build in Nye county. These whit
saw the move say that it looked like

positively believed he did have a ''ten

OF course we deplore the harsh treat
ment, and feel for Shaw; but it is i'm
possible for US to feel for him as h
certainly must feel in the region unde

B ADJUSTMENT.

A happy adjustment has been
effected between the mine owners and
the employees, and, what threatened for
a time to lead to a strike has been
called off-all matters being amicably
adjusted and settled. The wage and
time schedule as submitted by the mine
owners or operators in which was the
specification that some of the employees
should work nine hours instead of eight
was rejected by the union and after
due and dis~passionate communication
between the employers and employed
the former finally decided to make the
concessions demanded by the latter and
with this result the following resolu-
ton was adopted and presented to the
Miners Union:
Resolved, That Tonopah Mine Opera
tors association, hereby accepts and
adopts, the hour and wage schedule
prescribed in the constitution of Tono-
pah Miners Union, No. 121, a copy of
which has this day been presented to
us together with a copy of the resolu-
ton of such union referring thereto; and,
Be 1t Further Resolved, That Tono-
pah Mine Operators Association in
consideration of the agreement of the
Tonopah Miners Union, No. 121, to
maintain said schedule for the period
of three years from date, hereby
agrees to maintain unchanged said
schedule for the period of three years
from date; and
Be 1t Further Resolved, That a copy
of this resolution be presented the Ton
opah Miners union, No, 121, as a reply
to such resolution of said union.

An Ugly Cut on the Head

An Italian giving the name of Peter
Pedroni applied to DIR. Cowden last
Monday for surgical treatment, looking
as if he had been up against the real
thing and was badly stayed with. He
had an ugly cash on his head which
required Is stitches from the surgeons
needle to close. He was very reticent
as to where he got the bloody hand-out
and left without explanation.

A New Railroad.

The Caliente Phoebe railroad company
has decided to build a line from Caliente
to Phoebe Immediately, according to
late reports. The final surveys for the
line are nearly completed and the rails
are now en- route to Nevada. Lack of
ties and lack of labor are said to be
the only obstacles now to be encoun-
tered in the building of the road.

A Fine Basement

The Lothrop Davis company COM
pleted this week a fine large basement
the full size of the store-29x70 feet
with a 12-foot extension under the
sidewalk. The whole is walled with
cut stone, and the sidewalk, which is
provided with necessary lunettes and
trap doors, is covered with concrete.
This certainly lends to Tonopah an air
of prosperity.

Suicide of "a Tonopah Man.

Fred l.. Mason committed suicide in
Rhyolite Thursday. He was walking
down the Main street of that camp,
after a week of alcoholic dissipation,
when he drank a large dose of carbolic
acid. Death Immediately followed.
Mason was the former superintendent
of the Fraction mine and his death
created a sensation. He is a pioneer

FOR STATE

Among the list of probable candi-

could be made. Mr.. Fairbanks is
editor and proprietor of the Lyon
County Times, a thorough, practical
printer from the ground floor up, a
man of erudition and strict integrity,
