The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1906-07-20

Champagne corks popped in Chefry
Creek on Monday night when the AZ
rival of tbe Nevada Northern railroad
at that camp was celebrated with
banquet given in honor Of the officials
of the line, - the builders Of the sturdy
hands of steel over which the trains
hearing Cherry Creek ore will glide to
the smelters and over which the eX-
press cars will come back with The tat
rolls of greenbacks OF bags of coined
cold which the precious metals from
the mines will bring.
1t was fitting climax for Railroad
Dav" at Cherry and it was Il great
night for the denizens of the camp and
their distinguished guests.
All the citizens miners aud business
men-knew that the steel bands con
Meeting them with the outside world
Meant a Newer and Brighter IRA
of prosperity for the old camp, and the
exuberance of spirit ran high: For The
dav of the numbering freighter'a wagon
was surely passed; the day of the long,
slow pull of ore wagons over rough
roads to far off shipping points was at
an end. Old conditions had passed into
obivion-new condition, big with great
hone. were there instead. Mines that
have been idle because of the enormous
expense of freighting ore by toiI'hg
horse or mule team, or have been WORK
ed by only few men, will now take on
tull crews of miners to delve deep into
the masses of rich ore in Cherry's hills.
And the ore already dug out OF the
ground will be quickly shoveled into
freight cars SO that the mine owners
may handle the money it represents.
The "cash" that has been locked IN
the earth or tied up in the huge dumps
at the mouths of mines will begin to
circulate freely, and Cherry Creek will
taste Of the elixir of opulence such as
she has never known before.
The Banquet
was held at Cherry Creek Hall. The
two tables at which the guests were
seated were. arranged in parallel 20
sition and extended almost the length
of the hall. The decorations, which
