EDITORIAL COMMENT
BUILD THE ROAD.

The SAD ske people are still interested in the trade of Southern
Nevada, and ~ papers and merchants are working with the end in
view of building a railroad through from Salt Lake to Tonopah, which
would inctease the trade relations between the two points, and also form
a straight run from here to the smelters of the Mormon city. The fol-
lowing editorial from the Telegram of that city gives an idea of the
feeling that is begging fos~ed;
"a merchant of Nevada came to this city on his way home from the
East, where he had been for a month studying the markets. He stroned
into one of or wholesale houses and incidentally asked some of the
prices Then he asked the prices by the carload, with the result that
he ordered five carloads.
1T was but a straw, but a most significant one 1t was another as
surance that this city is the natural supply station for Nevada, and it
from this city through Central Nevada, going southwest to Deep Greek.
thence to Munsy and Ely, and on to where all great camps of South
ernN Nevada would be tapped or fanked. And it would not be much of
an undertaking for a few men of this city to have that road constructed.
ing as much per day as the first $50 miles of this road would certainly
pay, it would be taken in tomorrow. This road with full equipment for
$50 miles would cost under $4,000 per mile. With the first $50 miles
completed It would yield on oe alone $4,000 daily or more than ST.
BE greatly increased Then there would be towns L be built, there would
be miners supplies and merchandise to furnish; there would be a pas
senger travel which would be a large item from the first.
Are there not 100 men in the city who would guarantee the certain
payment of the interest and principal on the needed amount? The
road would pay it all back in three years, and these men would own the
road and get a bigger return than any mine in 100 would pay them. And
they would own the property and would not be out a cent. Then by e-
tending 1t another zoo miles they would secure for Salt Lake the bust
ness of a little empire When the Short Line was built through Idaho
there seemed but one justification on earth for it, that was the through
trade that would be secured by a connection with the road coming this
way from Portland.
Now were there not a through passenger or a carload of through
freight, it would have all it could do AS it is, it needs a double track
and 81 per cent more rolling stock. 1t may be said that the agrcuI-
tural and horticultural interests of Idaho make the road an immense
amount of traffic. Granted, but how does all that compare with what
fifteen mining districts, most o. them base metal mines, would supply?
"One frstclass lead and silver or copper mine is worth more Q a
railroad than a township of fruit and WOO. Then if this road would
add a few miles to this end, it would have an out freight of all the coal
it could carry. Salt Lake business lei arc ignoring the most promis-
ing little enterprise that ever a city of rich men slept upon.

WOMEN PRESENT
IMMENSE PETITION

THE HAGUE, July President
Nelidoff of the peace conference, re-
ceived Miss Anna Eckstein of Boston,
Massachusetts,, who presented a ne
tition signed by over two million
Americans in favor of a general ar
bitration treaty. NJ. Nelidoff con
graduated her on the number OF
signatures and said the petition was
in the right direction for if any limi-
tation on ornaments were possible
it would have to be done through
arbitration. Russia, he continued,
had not announced her original pro-
gram, but to carry it out it was nee
essary to have recourse to arbitra-
ton. The development of interna-
tional law and international courts
must be dictated by full understand
ing between states and people, and
furtherance of mutual good Will and
love of Christ.

PLANT ALWAYS
IN OPERATION

TO anybody interested in the in.
dustries Of Tonopah, a visit to the
Bonanza bindery is well worth while.
The doors are open from morning "a
night, and the plant is always in OBJ
Grafton.
There is no secrecy about the work
that we are turning out, there is
nothing to hide in the methods
which are employed. The work is
second to none put up any where on
the coast. We are proud of our eff
forts, as should everyone be who is
interested in the progress of the
camp.
We can do any work that any
body wants done in the way of bind
Ing, ruling or book-making, or any
thing that is necessary for the office.
We have done it and the work speaks
for itself. All that is necessary is a
trial. You will come again.

H.. E. EPSTINES Sees
BIG IMPROVEMENT
SAYS CONDITIONS IN SAN FRAN.
CISCO ARE VERY MUCH
BETTER.

Harry E. Epstine, the genial Tono.
pah broker, returned yesterday from
a two weeks business trip to San
Francisco. Harry says that conditions
in the bay city are not half bad and
that since his last trip three months
ago a big Improvement is noticed
along all lines. The street car strike
Is virtually ended and he says that
the telegraph operators are willing
to return to work but that the agl-
tators stand in their way.
Continuing, Mr.. Epstine says: II
visited the leading brokers and find
that the general opinion among them
is that a small reaction will occur
this summer and that a big boom
Will come again in the fall. The
leading Tonopah and Goldheld stocks
are very scarce and it is almost i'm
possible to get any of them at the
prevailing prices. The buying orders
are again coming from the east. es-
pecially for the better class of Sc
curities. This demand for the better
class of securities will have its effect
on the cheaper stocks and a general
jump all along the line may be ex-
pected.
"A return to conditions such as
prevailed last fall simply depends on
production and a declaration of divi-
dends by the companies taking out
ore. With the declaration of divl-
dends by the best Tonopah and Gold
field companies the confidence of the
investing public will be regained and
this should mean another bear mar
ket such as we experienced last fall"

TONOPAH NINE PRODUCTION.

Published in another column is a n article from the able pen of T.
A. Richard of the Mining and Scientific Press, which makes the article
of the Daily Mining Record of Denver, alluded to in the Bonanza's ei-
tonal of Friday, look even more foolish.
Mr.. Richard shows where the Tonopah mine is second in the produc-
ton of silver in all the world. In 1906 its production amounted to &C.,
$50 tons of ore, which yielded S,194, 300 ounces of silver. According to
the article one-quarter of the dividends being paid come from the earnings
of the Tonopah and Goldheld railroad.
This is a very broad estimate, but taking it for granted that it is true,
a Will show how little comes from Godfeld to contribute to the divi-
'dends paid out by the Tonopah Mining company.
Tonopah is not in need of any outside assistance either n the way
sf production or in the payment of dividends 1t may be news to many
that thu big mine on the hill is second in the world in the way of pro-
'ducton; but II is not news that the mine is producing daily more than
VI the other mines of Tonopah and Goldheld combined.
With a record like this, it is rather more than silly to attempt to
give o Goldheld thu credit of paying the dividends of the Tonopah Min.
ing company when her mines r not paying any dividends them.
selves We are not blaming Goldfed in the matter, for Goldfeld does
not need any more outside assistance than does Tonopah; but certainly,
writer's that send out such stuff should first probe into the realms of
truth, and when they do digress from that path, it is up to the people of
Goldfed to round them up, and put them right.

Nan is holding a series of "soir-

automobile parties and the manage
ment is not overparticular about ask

place pays no license, but every one
who goes there joins the Club"

Nan spends most of her time in
the barroom, leaning up against the

several of her friends took her in
charge and are trying to get her in
shape so that she can continue her

GREAT MYSTERY
covers SHOOTING
Especial to Bonanza. ]

GoLDFIELD, July A shooting
affray occurred here today, owe
which there seems to be a great deal
OF unnecessary mystery by the sher-
ms office, the latter going so far as
to conceal the name of the injured
man.
The streets were crowded this
morning with people waiting to see
the races. They were crowding the
ropes, narrowing the margin for the
racers, when Deputy Sheriff Dyer
came along ordering the crowd back.
One man showed fight, and the dep-
uty cracked him on the head with his
gun. The crowd made for the officer
an what they deemed his unneces-
sary brutality, and in the melee, his
weapon was discharged and the un-
known was shot in the leg. The doc
tor who dressed the wound did not
know the name of his patient, and
the whereabouts of the latter cannot
now be learned. Inquiries at the
sheriff's office are met with replies
that nothing is known Of the case.

that a great Atlantic fleet of eigh-

shown to Secretary Loeb who would
not comment on Metcalf's
ment further than to say his own
statement of the cruise covered that
made by the secretary of the navy.
