Montana-TOnOpah.

Charles E. Knox, president of the
Montana -Tonopah Mining company, ar
rived in Tonopah Wednesday evening
after an extended eastern trip. Mr..
Knox is pleased to be in Tonopah once
again and will spend several days here
looking after the interests of the COM
pany. In conversation with a BONANZA
representative, Mr.. Knox said that Ne
vada mines, and especially those of
southwestern Nevada, are now attract
ing the attention of the eastern investor.
money is being put into the market
which is coming from sources never be-
fore touched. People are placing money
with views both as to investment and
speculation. The reason for this is not
difficult to discern. The stocks of south
etn Nevada are now on a dividend basis
and this condition of affairs naturally
appeals to the eastern investor. 1t is
what he has been accustomed to, and he
| finds himself in his natural element
THE mines of southern Nevada have
been proven, and no longer do the men
of the east look at them askance. They
have awakened to the fact that theo can
do business on small capital on Nevada
stocks and make as much as a man does
on eastern stocks with whole lot of
money. They are, in consequence, turn
ing to the stocks which sell in the neigh.
borhood of dollar share, rather than
stay by the securities which are put on
the market at S100 par.
''As an illustration of this will men
tion an experience had. A gentleman
was telling broker friend of mine that
he had just sold Philadelphia Electric
and had bought Tonopah at $40 share
He explained that he had done this foi
the reason that the Nevada stock Offered
him the same dividend that the eastarr
security did. The Tonopah people, ht
SAID, had kept faith on all they haC
promised, and while he was sure of hi
dividend he was also practically certain
of gain on his investment.
"What now appeals to the investo
more strongly is the fact that he can bu,
securities for small amounts which vii
bring him the same returns that high
priced stocks fetch on the market Thi
appeals to the investor. On the othe
: hand, when a man speculates in high
priced securities he expects at the mos
to make a turn involving only fe,
e points; h5 never expects to double hi
r capital, and, of course, never does. |
. dealing in Nevada stocks, it is often tn
case where a man often doubles his ir
; vestment. This phase of the business
of course, appeals to the speculator. -

The visit of j. Ross Clark to Tono-
pah this week was one of great signif-
cance and shows conclusively that this
rapidly growing city is today the cyno-
sure of the eyes of the big railroad
magnates. With the Clark and "Borax
Smith" roads rushing in from the
south, the certain extension to this
place of the Nevada Central on the
north and the Tonopah and Goldfeld
road already here and giving good
service, nothing can prevent Tonopah,
the queen city of the desert, becoming
a great railroad center and the distrib-
uting point for the richest mineralized
section of the United States. Mr..
Clark arrived here Thursday afternoon
in company with G. 0. Whittemore, the
general attorney of the Clark roads,
Malcolm Macdonald and Donald Gillies,
Nevada's s staunch friends. The journey
from Beatty was made in Mr.. Mac
donald's automobile and all records
between that place and Tonopah were
broken, the distance, lis miles, being
covered in five hours. Thursday even
ing a reception was rendered the party
and Charles R. Miller, vice-presidcnt of
the Tonopah Mining Company and
Tonopah and Goldfield Railroad Com
pany, by our citizens, at the Mizpah
Club. DIR. Edward Bowes presided.
He called upon Mr.. Miller to tell of his
experience in building railroad into
Tonopah. The gentleman responded
making very interesting and enter
tanning talk. He said he had always
had great faith in this section; he knew
the mines were the richest in tht
world and the Tonopah Mining Com
pany intended doing its share in devel
oping them. Referring to the coming
of another railroad he said he would bt
one of the first to welcome it. ''Thert
is room here for several roads and
will be glad to see them come" Hi
remarks were greeted with vociferou!
applause.
DR.. Bowes next called upon j. Ros'
Clark and the mention of his namt
caused more applause. Mr.. Clark wal
listened to with rapt attention. HI
said, Gentlemen, it is pleasure to b.
with you. You have great city, il

the greatest mineral country in the
world. We are building a railroad to
Beatty and the Bullfrog district as
rapidly as possible and will reach there
June 1st. There is vast mineral belt
reaching from Seachlight on the south
to Manhattan, and only the future can
tell how much farther, on the north.
You need transportation facilities and
you are sure to get them. ("
II. H. Clark, who is one of the active
mining men of Nevada, was then called
upon and told of the wonderful richness
Of the district to the south and pre-
dicted great future for it.
C. o. Whittemore, general counsel
for the Clark lines, was in a happy vein
and entertained his hearers for several
minutes. He told Of how he was whirl-
ed across the desert from Beatty to
Bullfrog in Malcolm Macdonald's flying
machine and said that he could hardly
see the need of a railroad when there
are record-brealsi-is automobiles around
like Macdonald's.
Popular Donald B. Gillies was next
called upon and he was given an ova-
ton He esaid he hadmanaged the Clark
mines in Montana for eight years and it
gave him extreme pleasure to have ].
Ross Clark in our midst. Referring to
the Great Extension mine, he said they
were taking out everything from wall
to wall and shipping it. Quantity is
better than quality when working mine
and we are opening up the Extension
with that idea in mind. While we have
ore that will run into the hundreds, yes
thousands of dollars in value, we are
only shipping $50 ore these days and can
afford to pay dividends from it. Capt.
talists throughout the land know that
this is the richest field in the world and
, are glad to invest their money here.
Alonzo Trip, Bert Smith and others
followed with remarks that greatly
pleased those present.
Mr.. Clark stated to BONANZA rep
resentative after the reception that his
road would not be built into Tonopah
at present. He predicts great future
, for the camp, however, and will return
here again in June for an extended
i visit.

of the greatest mines in the country.
Its management is in able hands and it
has future that is indeed bright.

A. B. Millett, one of the pioneers Of
Nye county and who is heavily in.
terested in the Millette mining district
spent the week in Tonopah. He says
they are now nearly three hundred peo
pie in the district and the number is
increasing every day. Many properties
are being opened up and strikes are
constantly being made. The values o.
the many ledges are principally in golt
and silver although there are severa
good lead properties.
I'm spite of the fact that the entir,
section is snowbound, hundreds ar
going in. The day that we went int

stages and autos, which, as a rule, ar
empty.

Silver Peak.

George Leidy returned to Silver Peak
this morning after spending the past
ten days in Tonopah. He says the
Peak is rapidly coming to the front as
one of the important districts of Ne
vada. The mines there are all looking
fine and are being opened up as rapidly
as possible. Mr.. Leidy has just finished
hauling 60 tons of freight from Coal
dale to the S. P Valcalda mine, owned
by the O'Meara-Lynch Co. 1t COM
prised lumber, outfit for blacksmith
shop, tracks, cars and in fact first
class mine equipment. A 10-stamp
mill is also one of the certainties for
this property in the near future. Ten
men are now employed crosscutting
and drifting, and there is a world of
$35 ore in sight which can be worked at
a good profit.
The mill for the Lookout mine will be
on the road to the mine from Coaldale,
within 10 days. M. L. Effinger ac-
companied by Charley Blumenthal, Dick
Wasson and Mr.. Flynn, is now in San
Francisco buying more machinery for
the mine. Since the hosting works
were installed on the property, good
progress has been made in opening ur
big bodies of ore on the 250 and 300
levels. Is is surely a great mine. DR..
Bowes and Mr.. Effinger state emphati
cally that the mine has not changed
hands, as reported by several Nevada
newspapers, and that the property i:
not for sale at any figure.

WITH GRAPE PROFITS
BUILD FINE HOUSE
Hon. A. H Carson Now Planning
to Build A Big Cold
Storage Plant.

Hon A. II. Carson and Mrs. Car
son were in Grants Pass last Satur-
day from their Redlands vineyard
home to attend the Rogue River VAL
ley Development League. Mr.. Car
son stated his grape vines were in
splendid condition aud the yield
promised to be heavy. Redlands
vineyard is the largest in Oregon and
Mr.. Carson intends to add to his pres
ent acreage of "a acres until he shall
have 100 acres to vines.
With the profits on his grape crop he
last year built the finest farm resi-.
denoe in Josephine county and one
that would be credit to Grants Pass
or any other town. This year he has
under consideration the building of a
big cold storage warehouse in which
to hold the bulk of his grape crop for
the Winter market. Mr.. Carson has
thoroughly studied market conditions
and he is convinced that there would
be big demand during the Winter
months and at highly -emunerative
prices for fresh, juicy grapes as such
could be supplied by cold storage.
