WILL INCREAsE ITS sUPPLY.

GOLDFIELD, Aug. S.--R. l.. Har
per, general manager of the local
water company. stated today that his
company was arranging for the in
crease of its supply, and that it
would have enough to satisfy the de-
mand. should the population of the
city increase to $4,000. He would
not say where the supply was to come
from, but there is an impression that
an attempt is being made to effect
a consolidation with the Oddie prop
osition. Goldfeld has been listening
to these sort of promises. and has
grown rather skeptical. They are
always remembered, particularly af-
ter fire The oddie proposition is
occasioning a great deal of favorable
comment, and it is thought that If
the senator so desires, there would
be no trouble in promoting a com
pany right here with sufficient capi-
tai to carry through the project.

he would open the mine with noh-

SIAMESE king
AMUSES BERLIN
[By Associated press.l

BERLIN, Aug. S.-King Chula-
longkorn will leave Berlin tomorrow
for Cassel, where he will be the guest
of the German Emperor and En-
press. Stories of the extravaganza
of the Siamese King continue to ex-
cite and amuse Berlin. II is con
sidered certain that he has bought
$3,000,000 worth OF diamonds and
gold and silver plate. Two gold SER
vices among the selections cost $780,
600 each. The king is occupying the
entire floor of one of the principal
hotels. The king took half of the
jewels and other precious work
brought from London and Paris By
dealers. He has shown an unusual
interest in dispatches in newspapers
referring to the delimitation of the
frontier of Siam and Cambodia, and
received, with extreme consideration,
newspaper representatives who
brought him the intelligence and who
arranged for news service from thu
Siamese capital during his soiourn IN
Germany

"Tonopah has now a good water
supply" said Senator Oddie, when
spoken to in regard to the matter,
news of which first gained currency
in Goldfield, but this is a growing
community, and II is a question as
to whether the supply win always be
adequate. The day will come, and
that soon, in my opinion, when this
city will have many more thousands
of people, and the water supply of
the present will not be enough to
satisfy the demand, but did not
have Tonopah in view when the prop
osition occurred to me. / was look
ing at Goldfield, which is at present
in need of a good and permanent
water supply.
THE water from Pine Creek is
pure and wholesome, and there is
no better drinking water in the
world. II could be carried to Gold
field by stations. SO that the force
could be regulated. It would be
cheaper as well as better than any
thing that l can think of. 1t would
AFFORD absolute fire protection to the
town and there would be plenty of
water for sprinkling; in fact, there
would be water to let run to waste.
Then it would be possible to have
lawns and gardens, trees, and raise
fruit and vegetables on the desert.
Both Tonopah and Goldfield are
bound to be big centers, and to grow
bigger as the years advance, With
railroads coming into them, with new
camps opening up all the time. the

be enough pressure from Pine Creek
TO furnish all the water that is neces-
sary for a city of fifty thousand, and
there will still be enough to tap the
pipes on the way, and supply Tono-
pah with all that she may need"
Senator Oddie stated that the
length of the pipe line would be about
ninety miles from Pine Creek into
Goldfeld. This is not very great
distance for the piping of water.
