Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1906-07-07

The Fourth of July has come and
gone but with its passing remains the
pleasant recollection of one the finest
patriotic demonstrations ever given
here. Although the time for making
the preparations for the celebration
was very short every one went to work
with such vim and cheerfulness that
success was assured from the very
start.
On the morning of the Fourth the
town loomed up in its holiday attire.
The streets had been cleaned and
sprinkled while the business houses all
presented gay and gaudy appearance
in their decorations of tri-color. At
daybreak the booming Of cannon and
the playing of patriotic airs by the
band aroused old Echo from his slum-
bers, reminded the people that the day
we celebrate was on, and fired the
American heart with enthusiasm as he
beheld "Old Glory" majestically wav-
ing from the top Of Mt. Oddie.
Governor Sparks and his staff had
arrived on the train on the previous
evening and had been extended the
proper courtesies by the reception COM
mlttee and the representative citizens
of the town.
The vaqueros and their ponies were
here while the Shoshone and Piute
tribes of Indians with their squaws and
papooses were very much in evidence.
The following were the officers of the
day:
Grand Marshal Thos. r. Bannerman.
Trumpeter, Roger c. Kanters.
Chief of Staff Fred l.. Berry.
Chief Aide Paul c. Coulter.
Secretary Of Celebration Committee
L. B. Cushman.

julius SIN ith, colonel and surgeon
general.
Harry Kinkead, colonel and Judge
advocate general.
James A. Donovan, colonel and pay
master-general.
R. ]. Mapes, colonel and assistant in
spector-general.
Herbert Yerington, colonel and chief
engineer.
w. w. Booth, lieutenant-colonel and
aid-de-camp.
]. l.. Winters, color sergeant.
Following as escort to the Governor
and staff was cavalcade of vaqueros
gathered from the various cattle dis
tricts of Nye caunty. They presented a
dashing appearance with their chappies
riatas, Spanish saddles, bits and spurs.
This feature was in compliment to
Governor Sparks who is one of the
leading cattlemen of the West.
A beautifully decorated float was the
next in order. 1t contained Miss May
Bradford who is the only lady deputy
mineral surveyor in the United States

number of shares of the capital stock
will be put on the market for develop

uncovered. The officers of the COM

Herman Reischke. vice-president; H.
A. McKim, treasurer; Wesley Stewart,
secretary, and Emil Anderson, super.
intendent and general manager.

true prospector style and the caravan
was under the command of Captain
Phillips. The captain is typical pros
pector of the desert. His broad SOM
brero, flowing locks, bronze com
plexion, neatly trimmed moustache
and French imperial, made him by far
one of the most picturesque characters
in the line.
The Old Stage COrch.
The huge decorated stage coach
which followed the burros was forci-
BILE reminder to the early settlers of
Tonopah of the times and the trials
incident to the journey across the
desert from Sodaville and Candelaria to
Tonopah.
Automobiles.
Behind the stage coaches came the
automobile of latter-day airs. There
were thirty of them in line, each carry
ing load of ladies' and citizens of
Tonopah. ,o#
Henry MacNamara.
Among the various devices to give
ornamentation came the decorated
wagon of Harry Mcnamara, one of the
butchers of Tonopah. On this gaily
decorated float was representation Of
the time-honored MARY and Her Little
Lamb"-a little girl and a live lamb;
pretty sight.
Naeel Bros.
Nagle Bros, also butchers, who were
next in order, had an elegant float on
which stood handsome Holstein heifer.
To this float the governor, who, as
above stated, is also interested in the
cattle business, paid special respect by
dofiing his hat.
Richard Hardware Company.
The manner in which the Richard
Hardware Company represented their
establishment was excellent. They had
a complete tin shop in operation and
made tinware by the wholesale passing
their wares to the spectators along the
lines.
LOthrOp-Davis Company.
The float of this firm was indeed
unique. 1t was composed entirely of
bright tinware and shone ike diamonds
it the glistening sun.

All through the parade as he rode at
the head of his staff, he suffered ex-
cruciating pain, but never flinched and
rode as hero. He would not allow his
sufferings to mar the pleasure of the
day. Immediately after the parade
was over the Governor retired to mis-
room and bed and remained there until
the following morning suffering con-
siderable at intervals.
The people of Tonopah express to
their honored Governor their heartfelt
sympathy for his accident and are
happy to know that he still lives and
will mingle with them again.
The Governor, who is thorough
horseman, said he would not scruple tc
mount and ride any bronco but "pilt
driver" or crock crusher" such as thai
animal proved to be was a little to,
much for him.

The Booth property at Goldfield
never looked better than at present.
About two weeks ago a 12-foot ledge
of ore was cut on the 2O0-foot level and
it was reported this morning that a
rich pay-shoot had just been encount-
cred in the ledge. The Booth adjoins
the great Red Top and is one of the
choice properties of the Goldfeld
district.

preceded by a herald riding a white
horse. Four Knights of Khorassan
guarded the animals. Forty-eight
Knights of Pythias marched behind the
Sisters float, each wearing a white
uniform which harmonized with the
Rathbone Sisters. Many were the
compliments paid these fraternal orders
and they surely deserved them.
The Eagles.
The float of the Order of Eagles was
very pretty affair. In the midst of
the rich decorations was the figure of a
huge spread-eagle, emblematic of the
order, while smaller live one was
perched up in view.
The Tonopah Aerie spared no expense
to make their float an attractive one.
All along the line of march the applause
was simply deafening. Surely the
Eagles are magnificent birds and soar
high.
Fire Department.
The Tonopah Fire Department in
uniform drawing their hose carriage,
presented very nice appearance.
School Children and Veterans.
The school children, about 80 in num-
ber, presented very pretty spectacle.
Next came the veterans of the Grand
Army of the Republic, the veterans Of
the Hispano-American War and the
members of the Women's Relief Corps.
The Indians.
Another very interesting feature
was the caravan of Indians Shoshones
and Piutes-together with thelr''squaws
and papooses. The bucks rode their
ponies while the squaws and children
rode in vehicles of all kinds while seme
less fortunate were on foot. There
were about 100 in the procession. The
two chiefs Captain Johnny Kay oi
the Piutes, and the successor of ole
Chief Winnemucca, sat in automobile.
probably the first of their race to hav,
that experience. Altogether it wa
one of the most rare spectacles to b.
seen in the country.

OwRershiP Paramount Issues in
1905, Says Edgar Howard.

Edgar Howard. editor Of tho Columbus
Telegram and prominent Nebraska demo-
erat rode into town Saturday morning on
corporation-owned railroad train, but not
on a pass.
Government ownership of railroads will
be the paramount issue in the approaching
presidential campaign" declared the suave
Columbus editor. Nothing can dislodge
that issue and Nebraska will be in the
thick of the fight. AS an earnest of that
fact steps are now being taken for the
organization in Nebraska OF nonDartisan
clubs, the members of which will pledge
themselves to vote only for such state
legislators and congressman as will support
the government ownership idea" continued
Mr.. Howard.
Editor Howard declared that W. ]. Bryan
would be the only real presidential pessi-
bility mentioned at the next democratic
national convention and he stated as his
opinion that Bryan's running mate would
be southern man Identified with the
ownership dream, possibly Governor-slect
