mDGE MURPHY
GUEST

ae NJ A. Murphy, of Hawthorne,
M ~,ndoubtedly remember the occa-
- of his first visit to Goldfeld.
r,dg,ne from his cordial expressions to
nonv people he met during his three
Is, visit in camp. and his response 10
.ss greetings at the banquet rendered in
~ honor Saturday night, he not only
sas a warm spot In his heart for Gold
AHA. but much that he saw was in the
wav of a revelation to him.
sunday in compan with Tom Murphy
a,d A. ID. Meyers, two of the pioneer
~esidents of this city, he was driven
.ronnd the camp and taken down in
saveral of the mines. At the Sandstone
hs was given a handsome specimen of
eq0 900 rock, and he was made ac-
TAINTED with conditions existing in the
zines and the character of the develop
uent work and the output of the vari-
Gus properties.
Monday, accompanied by his daughter
Miss Martha Murphy and Miss Nellie
u3lligan. he left for his home at the
county seat.
saturday evening so of the represent
alive business and professional men of
,be camp gathered around the banquet
hoard in the Palm cafe at a banquet
o,ven in honor of the visiting jurist.
TIE affair was given under the auspices
81 the bar association and the gather
ing was representative of the business
and professional life of the camp.
president George ID. Pyne, of the bar
association, oficiated as POSTMASTER
and after making an address of welcome
I,dee Murphy responded in most cor
IT, .rlrA1 fka oA~flA-aAn
present for their hospitality. He re-
ferred to the fact that though he had
ling been a resident of Nevad he had
not before visited this section. A great
deal had peer told him by citizens of
Go,dheld regarding the camp, but after
seeing it himself he was most agree
ably surprised to find that not half
had been told. Indeed his trip had been
in the nature of a revelation to him.
Referring to the county seat removal
nuestion Judge Murphy stated that it
was a question in his mind as to
whether it was not wiser to wait until
the next session of the legislature
rather than attempt to remove the seat
of the county government by holding a
snecial election. He thought that the
expense incident to temporarily housing
the county government here would be
quite an item. Judge Murphy's re-
marks were such as to give the impress
sion that he believed Goldfeld was the
proper place for the county seat.
Following Judge Murphy addresses
were made by Judge HI. F. Bartine,
Charles 3. Stanley, Ben Rosenthal and
Charles S. Sprague.
The menu was most elaborate and
served faultlessly.
The following were present at the
banquet: Messrs. Pyne, Mayne, Doug
lass, Lathrap, Davis, Codd, Lind, Cook,
Stanley, Edmonds, Hatton, Hobbs, Red
ington, Sprague, Chute, Smith. Kinney,
Colburn, Coffee, Turner, Rosenthal,
