Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1907-10-19

Mizpah Club last night was a howl
ing success. The committee will meet
again on mex Wednesday night.
when permanent organization will be
effected, and when there will be sub
mitted a plan of promotion and the
method of financing the plan. There
was a committee appointed for this
purpose. Meanwhile the committee
will be abroad securing money.
There was displayed at the meet
ing that kind of enthusiasm and har-
mony of action which spells success
for the movement. Everybody had
something to say for the good of the
cause, and expressed himself as will
ing to do his very best, no matter
where he was placed. There were
good words, too, for the baby camp
Of Round Mountain, the biggest feel
ing camp on earth-Round Noun
tain, the producer.
The meeting was presided wei by
L. G. Branson, temporary presi-
dent, while James Force acted as sec
rotary. There were present about
forty. ]. E. Weir, of Weir Bros,
New York, who had just come from
Manhattan, was invited by the chair
man to take the floor.
Il am out here" said Mr.. Weir,
seeking information. We are try
ing in the East to secure information
but we cannot get the kind we want,
the proper kind. What we want is
the dope, the proper dope. 1t seems
TO me that an association of this kind
would be just the thing for the dis
semination Of news of the mines, not
only in Manhattan, but of all the dis
tricts tributary to Tonopah., If we
have the stamp of approval of an or
~ganization like this, if we can say to
our clients, to the world, the men of
Tonopah approve of this property as
a legitimate investment, we can sell
stock. It is a pretty hard matter to
sell stock now when we are all broke,
but under the conditions of which /
speak, we can sell. 1t is a good
thing to eliminate the bad, and put
forward only the good. A depleted
treasury does not mean that a prop
osition is bad. Where money has
been raised for treasury purposes,
and has been put into the ground,
that is good enough for us. But
where money has been raised and not
put into the ground, and still there is
a depleted treasury, | must confess
that ] can't see my way clear to
further finance that proposition.
But / have been to Manhattan
and l have seen three mills in the
course of construction; that is good
enough for me-"
Raymond D. Frisbie, chairman OF
the committee appointed to draft by.
laws and constitution, submitted the
same, and they included in the mat

tary to Tonopah. They were adopted
a read.
II. A. McCraney, editor of the Man
haitian Times, told of some of the
wonders of Manhattan. of what was
being done, and what the future
holds in store for the camp. With

was in favor of looking to Los An
geles for the money. He had been
down there and he knew that the
people wanted our trade. Three cities,
San Francisco, Salt Lake and Los
Angeles, he said, were competing
strongly for our trade, and it was tc
them that VIC should look for sup
port for the mines. He thought that
Los Angeles offered the most inviting
field.
Nathan Croker said that Tonopaf
had always been Manhattan's besI
friend, and he cited the instance o.
where there was raised in Tonopaf

the road to Manhattan. What was
required was unity of action. Tono.
pah should work for Manhattan and
Manhattan should in return work fol-
Tonopah.
Arthur Raycraft said that he had
put all his money in Manhattan, all
that he had. and all that he could
borrow, and If anybody could show
him where he could borrow any more
he would put that in, too.
zone thing we must look out for,
said Mr.. Raycraft, land that is ouI
rival on the north. Austin is looking
with eager eyes for the trade of Man

Are more than friendly to us, but w
