BUSH TERMINAL IS THE
 BUSIEST PLACE ON EARTH
It is In Brooklyn Where Quarter of Mile Has More Com and Industry Than Many Princpality- ty-Cargoes
 and Products of Greater Value Than U. S. Income

earliest glimpse of our shores. Before him as he comes up the. harbor is the Goddess of Liberty, representative of our political institutions while scarcely a mile away on the Brooklyn water front, is the busiest spot in the world, the Bush terminal-the largest and most highly developed of the huge terminals of the chief port of the United States. By an odd coincidence the Goddess gazes direct and fxedly at the businest spot as if it We're one of her goals.
 This center of the country's industry, so far as it may be said to have a cen ter, resembles giant hand stretched forth to draw into the upper bay the commerce of the Seven Seas. The land property is the plam of the great hand while the enormous docks. the largest in existence, reach out into the stream like so many powerful, tenacious fingers clutching at the worlds cargoes; for the big terminal is literally a clearing house for the commerce of all nations.
 Even in bald facts and figures, stripp- ed of imagination, this spot, typical of America's supremacy, is of impressive interest Here the steamships of twenty lines, and many nondescript tramps ow- ing no allegiance to any fleet of trade. de- posit their burdens from every corner of Christendom and- heath andom .Thou- sands of carloads of freight are handled here every week and the annual trans fers of merchandise, whether reckoned in dollars or tons, run so far into the thousands of millions as to render them almost incomprehensble.
 Yet with hundreds of steamships from thousands of ports pouring their contents into this busiest spot it is not after all of vast extent. That, indeed Is one thing that makes it so busy In area the Bush terminal, handling more commerce than does many a large port or many a small country, covers in fact d scant quarter of a square mile; but to such a state of ofssdevelopment has it been brought and so attractive are its facilities to the shipper, the manufac- turer and the dealer. that practically every square foot of it's area works with an efficiency peculiarly American.
 In it's entirety the terminal consists

 The sum of dollars that represents the value of the merchandise that passes through this great terminal in year lar exceeds the figures of the national debt Or the whole federal revenue. ihe quaint and curious, the rare and mystef- ious, the commonplace and the precious telling tales of strange places jostle each other in their bales and boxes. TO the Bush docks, storehouses and factories come the out-pouring of every iand-the kava-kava root from the far eastern ls- lands, from which Is brewed the drlhk of their weird dieties which the islanders believe produces madness when quatied by mere mortals; bamboo sticks from China and India that come half way round the world from the jungles or

New York, Otober 12-Where is the busiest spot on earth? According to hiplng there are three points at any one of which a man is sure to meet any body in the world if he waits long enough. But although these spots, all of them across the water may be taken as the greatest channels of polYglot hu- 1nanity. none of them is entitled to be called the busiest spot on earth. While Europe may still lead in the possession of pCints to attract the wandering tour ist md the professional roamer, the p1acC of commercial supremacy has been captured by the new world, and it is here that the busiest spot on earth is to be found
 Naturally the busiest spot in America is to be found in it's largest city, though it is not on Broadway, where the tide of humanity flows in greatest volume. Quite appropriately a sight of this hive of industry, typical of the United States, is included in the foreign visitors s

of three things-its docks. its ware houses and it's factories. Of the wharves, which are first to catch the eye and excite the admiration of the approaching voyager, there are seven, each built out into the water to the length of 134O feet, or about quarter of a mile. Each is 150 feet wide, and there is 270 feet of water at an average depth of 35 feet between each pair of piers, making a series of basins in which can be manoeuvered safely the largest ships afioat WKh commerce at it's height here, where commerce achieves its maximum, 1t is no uncom- mon thing to see two dozen monster freighters discharging and receiving car go at once; mere trifie of 175.e00 tons. to carry which d train of 7000 freight cars each holding 50,000 pounds would be necessary. Such a train would be nearly fifty miles in length.
 Back of the docks ar@ the warehouses; 13l in number, with a combined space available for the storage of merchandise of 26,00O0O0 cubic feet, into which go the strange goods of barter of the wide world to be sorted and distributed.
 So scientifically has every foot of room been utilized to achieve economy and efficiency that the unit of space for renting Is a block F by 15 feet, and there are aUO such blocks at the dis posal of tenants. Beyond the warehouses but still within the magical quarter of a square mile, are the factories in many respects the most remarkable buildings of their kind anywhere. There are three of them now, while fifteen more are to put up and they constitute the largest flat buildings ever erected-for the crowd ing of the twentieth century which causes nearly a millian people. in New York alone to live in flats or apart ments has at last produced the factory fiat in which space can be rented, large or small. as may be desired. In these modern business flats there is no longer any worry for the tenant as to power and light, engineers or firemen's strikes; power, heat and light are all furnished from central plant and all the tenant has to do is to utilize them as his needs require.
 As if this crowded plot were not already full enough or needed further title to be called the busiest spot on earth. there is within it's compass a compete railway system with more than twenty miles of track on which merchandise is hauled up and down, delivered or start ed away. More than 250 carloads of freight are moved each day and the connections thus afforded with all the railroads and steamship lines make pos sible in large measure the tremendous volume of activities centered at the terminal For the individual manufac- turer shipper or handler located there. there is no problem of trucking or team ing.

found fresh fruits and vegetables

Tonopah has two banks AZ least.
which do not have to take back
seat from any of those in the State,
or any other State. for the amount
Of business that is done. These are
the Tonopah Banking Corporation
and the Nevada First National Bank.
The former is one OF Wingfield and
Nixon's banks, with the John s. Cook
bank in Goldfield as its correspon-
dent. During the holidays following
thesuspension of the State Bank and
Trust Company, the Tonopah Bank
ing Corporation closed for the first
three days, out of courtesy to the
Governor, but there never was a
time, during banking hours, when
the doors were locked. The bank
was doing business all the time for
the accommodation of its clients.
This bank, like the John S. Cook
of Goldfield, was opposed to closing
at all, and there never was time
when run could have caught either
one of them. Each had enough to
go on for two days, anyhow, and be-
fore the end of the second day, there
was half a million dollars sent in
here and to Goldfield for the two
banks. On the day of the opening,
the local bank took in over hundred
thousand dollars, and the deposits OF
the John S. Cook were $25O,000.
The Nevada First National Bank
was not troubled by the local condi-
tions, but for banking manners, clos.
ed for the first three holidays, with
one door opened. 1t did this<on the
advice of the Comptroller of the Cur
rency, but of it's own initiative re
fused to recognize the second batcf
of holidays, and opened on last Mon
day, with the result that there were
received $4,000, and there were
withdrawn less than $4,000.

MILLS AND HOSTS ARE BEING

TERESTED.

In less than two hours during a
shift last week over $4,000 worth of
high grade was taken out of the
Madigan lease on the Daisy estate.
Pockets of phenomenal value are of
frequent occurrence. Every bit of
the ore being taken out is of milling
value, while the high grade is sacked
as fast as it is encountered. This is
shipped into Tonopah. and the last
shipment included the two thou

The pay streak continues to widen
and at the same time shows no di-
minution in values. Mr.. Madigan is
in personal charge of the work and
resides on the ground with his FAM
lily in the Daisy company house which
has had an extension built on the
rear.
The Booth lease, which is in the
charge of w. w. Booth, Jr., is To-
Gated about 600 feet distant on the
same property and has been mining
in good values. 1t is not at all un-
likely that additional capital will be

SHIPMENTS into
WONDER DISTRICT

An idea of the real activity and
progress of the Wonder district is
obtained when it is known that a
single supply company is bringing
weekly into the district 10000
pounds of freight. The transporta-
ton charges on the goods amount to
$500 a week And this company is
only one of half a dozen, all of
which have wagons constantly on the
road with mining and domestic sup
plies. A conservative estimate of
the bulk of freight that is hauled in
to the district every week would be
forty tons These freight shipments
tell better than anything else the
story of the large number of men
scattered throughout the hills, and of
! the great amount of work in progress
in the many shafts and tunnels.
The first impression of a visitor
upon arriving in Wonder is that there
is not great deal of activity in the
district. This is because Main street
looks quiet. The truth of the situa-
ton is that most of the parasites and
/ loungers have been weeded out. The
great majority of the men who have
remained in Wonder are workers
and they are in the hills. as the visi-
tor who makes a tour of the district
will perceive.
These workers require a grea,
amount of mining supplies and pro
visions, and thus it is that the team
sters are always on the road to Won
i der with many tons of freight. The
