EDITORIAL COMMENT
THE FUNNY MAN OF WONDER

rbera Is a funny maj in Wonder. His name is Mcnamara we 10
nor know him but W know he is funny, because he has impaired the IN
formation IL us m a series of postalcards- We should say tnat ne Is a
verv yonng man, for his work bears the stamp of the kindergarten %
dor had a Aood the other day; at least a number OF prominent cluzen
1ola Tn Bonanza 20. and The Bonanza gave the news to its readers
closely approaching $4,000.
The Bonanza has always been a firm believer In wonder an las
boosted that camp as one of the big one of Nevada. NO on "a hap
booting II There has never yet been a "knocker" come out oil me
ountrv But the funny man of Wonder doesn't know news from edr
torial comment. and in his cute, funny way he sends us a cartoon about
the food situation in Wonder, and gives credit t. n nan lr Tue
sxnresdonso Of the men from the camp. He has a picture of two noun
rains. that is. we suppose they ae mountains. for they re both labeled
4 400 feet high. He inscribes "Ha. ha" the idea of a food. One of the
maintains is fndited Tonopah and the other is Wonder. TT idea OF a
food in either place" Ha, ha, again.
We hay only the word of your fellow townsmen about the food of Won
sr lint we have been in Tonopah for som time, and we have eel rv-
ers Of waterr running through the streets of this mountain city, n INTO
me stores of the main street until we were thinking OF starting a gondola
trmt as the only solution for locomotion. We know of some people here
who have interests in Wonder, and we have their statement 70 te enet
that their places of business were flooded.
A second postal received related to the story Of the shutdown OF
te mines This news we had from the owners of such mines Is the
vuEnre the Daisy Wonder, Black Rock and the Spider-Wasp fun-
~ nal has the mines shut down with Grape on the loo n hahs
me Bonanza as a knocker. This is too much. Alas young Mac II you
had only the interests in Wonder that the proprietor of the Bonanza
has you wouldn't be pushing a pencil; neither would the writer o MS
no baneing a TYPEWRITER. There is nj water in his stock either, notwlth-
standing the flood of Wonder, and he is not flooding the country with
Wonder securities. He is keeping all that he has.
The only conclusion we a arrive at is that you are trying to impress
mon N vou ability IS a cartoonist of the wild Western life. II SO
vou should label the goods more clearly, and let is know Just what you
are driving at. Oh, maybe it is a job you are limiting at Weh-Weh

TRIMBLE Will
PROVE Theory
STRIKES AT MANHATTAN CAUSE
HIM TO RUSH TO
THAT CAMP.

j. J.. Trimble of the Langley-Trim-
BILE Company, went to Manhattan
yesterday. He is interested largely
in the Bryfogle property on Mustang
hill and the recent strike in the Mus
tang and Thanksgiving claims in
famed his desires in regard to his
own ground. He believes the strikes
of the Mustang and Thanksgiving
leads pass over the Bryfogle ground
and when he left for Manhattan he
had with him two engineers who
would corroborate or disprove his
theory. If his theory be correct and
Mustang and Thanksgiving leads do
pass through the Bryfogle the lat
ter would seem TO be more valuable
than either of the others taken
singly for 1t has the advantage OF
a double vein system.

went to Goldfeld on my W per-
sonal business, so | am not in a po-
sition to say just what the situation
is. The thought of more serious
trouble is deplored by every right
thinking man, and by nobody any
more than by me. II it comes II

OUT WITH THE TRAIT0ROUs HOUNDS!

Down with the flag! To hell with the constitution"
Goldheld is bowed with shame. The limit was reached In that
sronbled city Yesterday when some of her citizens stood by and heard
M foreeong words of derision hurled against Old Glory by a lot OF n
,rchistics calawags and murderous ruffans. It We're well for nc ne
- uttered the words that no American stood by them, else they would
have been where they would have sent the flag and constitution.
The scoundrels were hemmed in by their followers and y va I'M
nossjbie 10 tell who as doing the shouting. A shot fired there ould
have meant a riot, but that shot would have been fired II a Drn
American were anyone who gave utterances to such a sentiment
As IL is. the incident shows the class of men with whom the pest
element Of Goldfeld have to deal How shall such men be dealt with?
and the penaIty of treason is death. And these are the men IN YOU'D
run Goldfeld, who have boosted that the supreme power in Goldhed is
Tho IndustualW Workers of the World, the men who claim to own ne
mines by virtue of the fact that they work in the mines and are the ht
to find the ore.
Taking IS calm and dispassionate a view of the incident as is pos
sne in the circumstances, the man who has n o use fol the
which he breathes the free air of heaven, should stay at home mel ne
wasc lothed lin rags and never had any more chance of rising to pros
perity than a cooMe Failing in that he should be kept in check, N II
the law is Inadequate to punish him, something more speedy ma the
law should attend to his case. There is no room for that kind o cat
tie in this country.

Splendid SAMPLES
FROM BAXTER
H. L. DAVENPORT EXHIBITS RICH
ORE FROM THE RE-
CENT STRIKE.

II. l.. Davenport. a we'll known
mining man of this city and Baxter
Springs, came into the city yester-
day from the latter place with some
nice looking samples which came
from the northwest extension of the
strike that was made in Baxter a
few days since.
The strike in question was made
on the property of Parrot and Ras-
key, better known as Dutch" and
the find was little short of phenome-
nal. The ledge, as reported, is 100
feet wide, and Mr.. Davenport today
confirmed the report. The ore body
mas thus far yielded values which
go all the way from SIS to $4,000.
Mr.. Davenport has three claims 7
the north and west, of this big strike
and the rock that he brought Il
shows free gold all through It. Il
says that there is hardly a place O
his claims from where rock can b
taken that will not pan.
Davenport is one of the pioneer
OF Baxter Springs. He put up tn
second tent in the camp and ha
stuck to the district ever since, an
1t seems that his faith has been
last rewarded.

RICH STRIKE
In the Montana Midway Extension
Causes Intense Excitement About
THIS CAMP

The strike in the Montana Midway Extension is one OF the :
for it opens up speculation as to how far reaching it may be =
ton of engineers that the ore extended to the west and the .
north of the Tonopah Extension, through the Golden Anchor y
and Little Tonopah '
sizes this theory and is going to have the effect of resuming =
work OF the mines that have been closed since the fuel short =
age. Everybody armed with fresh courage is going to get busy =
and go after the ore. '
The strike on Montana Midway Extension was made on the =
s3o-foot level and is the same lead that was encountered on =
the 475-foot level. Now they have started an upraise to the .
former level and 1t is claimed that the ore body will go from =
the 63oth to the 475th, and how deep it will go is to be yet .
discovered. The ledge is thirty feet in width and there is a =
rich pay shoot two feet in width. This will go $3.50 a ton, of =
which $50 is in gold values, the rest being in silver. .
The find is within thrty-fve feet of the end line of Golden =
Anchor, which makes it look good for that property. The mine =
has been shut down for sometime, but in all probability, it =
will now be opened up again, and there will be a thorough =
search for the ore, which from all indications is going that way.
Next to the Golden Anchor is the Cash Boy, which also
closed down o n account of the scarcity of fuel and has remained
} closed ever since. Then folio rs the Little Tonopah, which has
; been prosecuting from the 850-foot level to catch the Midway
B vein, which now, it has been developed through the Montana
B Midway Extension. If the vein should pass through the Gold
; Ell Anchor and on to the Little Tonopah, what another vast
, rea of mineral bearing ground would be opened up
. Then on the east of the strike is the Rescue, where they
. are now drifting O a strong quartz vein carrying small values
. and they may hit a good shoot of ore at any time.
. James H. Sullivan, the well known operator of Tonopah
. and Manhattan. was the original locator of the Montana Midway
. Extension and at one time offered the property for 5000.

The STRIKE IN
The THANKSGIVING
RICH CHUNK OF ORE BROUGHT
TO TONOPAH YES
TERDAY.

The strike in the Thanksgiving
mine at Manhattan has turned out
to be the most important yet made
in the district, and it demonstrates
that the mines of Manhattan have
depth and permanency. In the dis
atch of Tuesday the story of Thanks
giving was only partly told. The ore
in the bottom of the 225-foot shaft
has turned out to be of phenomenal
value.
NJ. B. Dudley and j. Clark Hile
arrived yesterday afternoon from
Manhattan and brought with them
some of the rich ore which was
struck in the Thanksgiving on Tues
lay morning. 1t looks not unlike
the ore of the Mohawk, and is fully
as rich. In the opinion of Mr.. Dud-
ley, one of the samples he displayed
will go $1,000 a ton.
This is the most important strike
that has ever been made in Man
haitian" said he, "for the reason that
it is the biggest, and for the further
reason that it proves beyond a doubt
the permanency Of the ores in the
camp. The ore body fills the bot
tom Of the shaft, which is seven by
nine feet, and they have not struck
either wall. To be on the safe sidt
would estimate the value of the
entire body at $500 a ton, although
am quite certain that it will g
e much higher"
