Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1907-10-16
- :

This movement is going to stir up
things with vengeance, not only in
Manhattan, but all over this district.
Some have demurred for the reason
given that the movement has been
started too soon. This is poor rea-
soning. There is no time like the
present. Conditions in the east and
in some parts of the west, are much
depressed just now. but in the nature
of things, this cannot go on forever.
While the great bulk of capital is
tied up, there is reason for it,
One of the great reasons for it is
that capital has taken it's cue from
Wall street, and tightened up. This
kind of capital does not want to take
any chances in anything which is un-
der the dominion of the moneyed
powers; but any proposition which
affords good investment, will surely
appeal to it.
There can be no better proposition
than good mining proposition. Show
f0apital that the money invested is
,sSoing to be put into the ground, and
see how quickly it will come along.
The thing is to find the capital, and
then convince it. The knockers tell
us that the east wants no more of
Manhattan; they can go farther than
that, and say to us that southern Ne
vada securities are dead issue in
the eastern centers.
This falsehood is easily disposed of
by facts which are submitted to us
every day For we see and meet the
representatives of eastern capital
right here. They are travelling
through the country, looking for in
vestments, and they are finding them
and taking them up. Witness, at
the meeting at Manhattan on Monday
night there was not the representa-
tive of capital, but the capital itself.
Mr.. Mayer, multi-millionaire of
New York. was there to speak for
himself. He did not need anyone
to point the way. He was on the
ground, and had seen what there was
to be seen in Manhattan. He liked
the place well enough to make his
home there. He had heard it said,
he stated, that New York was broke,
but he would undertake to go to
New York and champion the cause
of the camp, and wake them up. AS
for himself, his money was going
into Manhattan, he did not care
whether anyone else went with him
or not
This is only one case where the
people of the east are coming into
this country, and where the majority
are never heard of until they have
become mine owners. This is the OBJ
iect of the movement, to get more
capital on the ground. The camps
and mines of southern Nevada are
open to the examination of the pub
lie, an dthe more that is seen of
both, the more attractive they are to
the eastern and the western in
veStor.
Southern Nevada does not have to
go to the east; there are plenty Of
other money centers. All that is
necessary is to bring the camps and
the districts to their attention. We
want publicity, but we want publicity
of the proper kind. Let the local
papers TEEN with the stuff that we
want disseminated The local papers
may not go as far in point of circula-
an as the metropolitan dailies, but
lode articles of the local papers, as
Ias been said at the meetings, are
clipped by the metropolitan dailies,
and given the widest circulation.
That is one way of getting circula-
tion. There are other ways. The
men who have been promoting prop
