Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1907-11-03

ever the English language is spoken.
The name is synonymous with wealth
and stability II is the bulwark OF
this great southern country. and from
the view point of construction and
business worth, is most satisfying to
the visitor who comes here for the
first time This was the judgment
of the Los Angeles merchants, bust
ness men and bankers, who were
here some months ago, after passing
through the southern camps, and
seeing, as they supposed, all that
there was to be seen. 1t is the judg
ment of all observers who come to
this country. They are attracted by
the 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 i'm
provements of the metropolitan cities.
1t is supplied with sewer system,
gas plant for heating and light
ing, and an electric plant for the
same purposes; water plant from
which water is piped through the
city, and most of the conveniences
and comforts of the modern burg.
The support of the public utilities
show better than anything else the
progress and prosperity of 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
Sing, heating, cooking and the like.
The Tonopah United Water Com
pany has been branching out in al
directions, and has its pipes in al
sections of the city. 1t 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 a chance in the world of the
supply ever being short.
The Nevada Gas Company brough
it's plant in here at time when ga
most appealed to the people. The,
had just been thorugh winter whei
it was impossible to secure fuel, AM
Hey did not have to be told the ad
@Vantages of artificial heat. For cook
ing, heating and lighting, the com
pany combined necessities from wnici
4 there was no getting away, and III
people took most kindly to the neN
innovation. The pipes of the com
pany are now pretty well scattcre
all through the town.
The Southern Nevada Consolidate
Telephones and Telegraph Compan
has such a complete service, bot
local and long distance, that ever
householder in the town is connecte
up with it, and thus afforded all tn
communication conveniences of tn
metropolitan city This compan.
like the other utilities, is branchin
out all the time, taking in all tn
towns of southern Nevada, and man
of California.
The Tonopah Lumber Company
an institution nearly as old as tn
camp, and it has it's branches a
through the southern part of til
State. This is an institution that ht
helped to build up this part of til
country as much as has any othf
agency. AS soon as new strike
started the company is ready to hau
and generally is there wits a brand
yard as quickly as any other instit'
tions are established.
The National Ice Company has a
that it can attend to in the SUNNI
time. and does not have to go o.
of business in the winter either, o'
ing to the mild conditions general
existing here.
Tonopah boasts of some of the II
est stores in southern Nevada,
for that matter, in any other part
the State. The Southern Neva
Mercantile Company is fitting G
ample of this, having a store Tn
runs from street to street, and tn
is pressed for room to accommoda
the enormous business that is bel
done in the way of groceries, gre
fruits, provisions and the like. Gre
fruits and vegetables are brought
from California nearly every df
and the people by no means sun
for the luxuries of big city.
There is no handsomer jewel
store in the State than that
George F. Blakeslee, and it would
difficult to find a more beautiful
costly display anywhere. 1t is
