Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1907-11-09

The name is synonymous WIFI wealth.
"a stability. 1t is the bulwark of
,bs great southern country, and from
me view point of construction and
~business worth, is most satisfying to
no visitor who comes here for the
srst time. This was the judgment
n the Los Angeles merchants, bust
ness men and bankers, who we're
here some months ago, after passing
through the southern camps, and
seeing. as they supposed, all that
here was to be e 1t is the judg-
ment of all observers who come to
4 This country. They are attracted by
he big buildings, the solid struc-
lures, the Improvements, and the
business that is being done, whether
times are dull or not.
Tonopah long since outgrew the
provincialism of the mining camp,
and can boast Of many OF the inn
movements of the metropolitan cities.
It is supplied with a sewer system,
a gas plant for heating and light
ing, and an electric plant for the
same purposes; a water plant from
which water is piped through the
city, and most of the con~veniences
and comforts of the modern burg.
The support Of the public utilities
show better than anything else. the
progress and prosperity of a town.
The Nevada Light and Power Com
pany has put in more lights through
the residence and business sections
Of the city during the past month
than ever before. The current is
used for all practical purposes, light
ing, heating, cooking and the like.
The Tonopah United Water Com
oany has been branching out in all
directions, and has its pipes in all
sections of the city. It has its re-
serves ready at all times to be turn
ed into the first supply when neces-
sary, affording the best kind Of fire
protection to the city, and there is
not q chance In the world of the
supply eve being short.
The Nevada Gas Company brought
IS plant in here at a time when gas
most appealed to the people. They
bad Just been thorugh a winter when
II was impossible to secure fuel, and
they did not have to be told the adj
vantages of artificial heat. For cook-
ing, heating and lighting, the com.
pany combined necessities from wnicn
there was no getting away, aud the
people took most kindly to The new
innovation. The pipes of the com
9aay are now pretty well scattered
all through the town.
The Southern Nevada Consolidated
Telephones and Telegraph Company
mas such o complete service, both
local and long distance. that every
householder in the town is connected
up with it, and thus afforded all the
communication eonveniences of the
metropolitan city. This company,
like the other utilities. is branching
all the time, taking in all the
towns of southern Nevada. and many
Of California.
The Tonopah Lumber Company is
institution nearly as old as the
camp, and ii has its branches all
through the southern part of the
state. This is an institution that has
helped to build up this part of the
country as much as has any other
agency. As Dor as a new strike is
started the company is ready TO haul.
generally is there wits a branch
yard as quickly as any other institu-
ions are established.
The National Ice Company has all
nat 1t can attend to in the summer
inc and does not have to 20 out
II business in the winter either. ow-
TO the mild conditions generally
here.
lonopah boasts OF some of the fin
81 stores in southern Nevada. or
