Much Travel In Sight.

There is no better way to judge the
condition of the country finacially
being done by the railroads." remark
ed a railroad passenger agent yester-
day. ''Of course, certain amount of
passenger traffic can always be de-
pended upon. as people must be NOV
ing on business bent, but this coming
season promises to find more people
travelling for PLEASURE than for many
years back.
The sale of tickets to Norfolk for
the Exposition is more than encourage
ing. The great amount of travel in
that direction has hardly begun yet,
on account fthe weather conditions.
People want to wait until 1T really be-
gins to get hot before heading in the
direction of the seashore, but we are
getting enough Norfolk passengers al
ready to indicate that soon there will
be q grand rush that will tax the roads
to their utmost capacity" F'-'-'

DR.. w. B. Crumpton returned last
night from Richmond. where he at
tended the Southern BAPTIST Conven-
tien. Dr.. Crumpton is the first of the
Alabama delegation to return to his
home, the others having gone to Nor
folk, where yesterday and today there
was planned a great convention OF
Northern and Southern Baptists.
DR.. Crumpton said that the conven-
ton was a great one and that the Ala
bama delegation was proud of the fine
record Its State had made. There were
1.400 delegates at the convention and
5000 visitors, who found room in the
new auditorium, which, ! owever, was
new and therefore not acoustically
perfect.
The reports of the committees and
officers of the convention showed that
the Southern States, had, during the
year, given 100000 to foreign mis-
sions and 1921, 900 to hume missions

Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1907-11-09

of Butte is admitted to be, having a membership of about 6OOO. should
so readily and complacenuy accept a reduction in the wages of its mem
Ibers. But to properly appreciate the situation it should be stated that
in the early part of the present year, when the price of copper lowered
in the neighborhood of "a, and all other prices were soaring correspond
tngly. the miners of Butte made a demand for al increase in wages. The
companies met them with a compromise to the effect that as long as copper
remained at Is or above the men should receive 81 a day. where they
were only getting $3.50, The compromise met with the appreciation of
ployes, the condition being that in the event of copper dropping below
Is, the companies should have the right to revert to the old schedule of
wages. 1t is unnecessary to say that copper has for some time been a
long way below IS, and on account of the conditions prevailing the COM
panes found it necessary, where SO many thousands of men were m
ployed, to fall back o nthe compact entered into.
What is significant and commendable in the action of the miners of
Butte in so promptly and almost unanimously accepting the wage reduc-
is their honesty of purpose and the faithful manner in which they
obeyed the terms of the contract they had been a party to. The events
of the past year or two in the labor world lead one to believe that the
compact would have been broken at the critical moment and the men
would have insisted on the maintenance of the wage scale. The most
of the great strikes of 1907 have been inaugurated in spite of solemn
contracts existing between I'M ployer and employe. And had the Butte
miners seen fit to break their compact with their employers they could
have excused their conduct by saving that the annual convention OF
the Western Federation O Miners, of which they ire an integral part,
tween subordinate unions and mining companies. But the Butte min
ers preferred to be men and patriots They want the world to know
that they appreciate the Importance and soIemniy of an obligation en-
tered into between themselves and their employers and that they are
willing at all times to assume the responsibility for the conduct of their
officers who acted for them in a matter of such great moment.
Their prompt action will be a stimulus to other unions confronted
with the question of observing an obligation. It is an example in CON
servatim at a time when wisdom and prudence we're essential to the sta-
bnfty and success of their organization. The Butte miners realize that
the companies treated them literally when the demand for an increase
of wages was made, for having long been employed in the industry of
copper mining they know that it is OF profitable to mine copper under
the most advantageous artificial conditions when it falls below a certain
point. If the union fought the reduction the members and officials
knew that they would be fighting for something to which they were not
entitled by the terms of the contract and by the laws and regulations
which govern the production of copper workmanship

KEEP THE MONEY IN TONOPAH.

Everybody knows that the present depressed condition throughout
the United States is due to the scarcity of money. Without money the
is no money in the banks, the community cannot last long. We have
two banks here that re open. and two that are closed which will e
sumo business before long. The two banks which are open have all the
money that is necessary to pay all their deposhors. 1t is up to Tonopan
to see that as much money as possible remains in the town.
We know that the banks are solvent; IS solid as any bank in the
country, but we are not advising anybody what to do with his money.
We do ask though that they keep the money in the country. Keep it in
your pocket, keep it in your stocking, keep it in your safe deposit
vault; but keep it in the country. If the demands of business require
that money must be sent away. send it Thorough the banks. Don't send
it through the postoHce or the express office for the present. 1t Is
cheaper to buy exchange, and when you do that the money remains in
the town. and the party you want to pay is just as well off.
II you buy money orders either through the postohce or Wells
Fargo. the money is shipped right out of the country. If you purchase
q money order through either agency. payable to yourself, the money
goes out Just the same That is the law in regard to the postofice. and
the rule in regard to the express Office. In Tonopah and in Godfeld the
banks are n OF placing any restrictions upon the amount of Withdrawals.
1t might not have occurred to the general public, but these are the only
on, and if the money is taken from the banks and sent away in either
manner that has been described, soon the time will come when there will
be no money in the banks or in the town.
In San Francisco they III not sending any money to their cores
pondents. The banks here are following the same method. They pay
in clearing house certificates in the metropolis, and they do the same
thing nearly all over the country. The certificates in San Francisco are
as good as money, for they apply to whatever the real coin will apply.
We a Use the money at home for a circulating medium, and they "a
use the certificates down there. They do not need the money and
we do.
Tonopah is all right. She is a long way from being down and out.
There are good times ahead. and those who know the camp best know
that this is 20. There has been some knocking going on That is bad.
There is % room here for the calamity howlers, and for the lei who
spread false stories about the banks A man who does that is a public
W e should all pull together, and that is the way that we are going to
come out all right.
The depositors of the State Bank and Trust Company and the Ne
and ormsby must be patient The men in charge of those institutions arr
doing their best for us, and all they ask for is time, and the cooper
of their clients. Let them have both. Let us all pull together and
keep the money in the country.

Corbctt Says Cans Is the Only One
Worthy of the Name.

James J. Corbett, Gentleman
jim now OF the 'profesh," calls the
fighters of the present day a poor
collection, and says that Cans is the
only n worthy the name OF a pug
Hist, according to the New York
World.
Without doubt, Cans stands as
far above the average fighter today
as the sky is above the earth" said
Corbett. He stands out pre-emi-
nently from his class. lie has beaten
every man in the lightweight division
and many of the welters.
Now, take IT in the heavyweight
class. There Is a bunch OF men in
this division who are not worth the
title of fighter. They are a crowd OF
second-raters. There is not a mar
among them who has shown himself
a championship timber.
The outlook for the fight game is
very bad. Here it is that Cans, who
ton or twelve Years ago was fighting
at his best, is able to beat every one
OF the p%resent-day scrappers. The
Baltimorean Is not nearly so fast MS
he used to be, and 1t only goes ia
show that the men of the present
time = not real boxers.
"As II is in the lightweight rank.
so 1t Is in the other divisions. The
men who are fighting In them are far
inferior to those who represented the
division in the years gone by.
"Jeffries is easily the best man hat
the game ever knew. He was the
s~pecdiest maj for a heavy fellow that
the world even saw, and the chances
are that his equal will never be seen
again. However, | am patiently
awaiting the day when some man will
come forward who can really put NJ
bis dukes in championship style, and
then the people who pay to see a mil
will not be bunkoed, as they are
nearly every time they attend a boA.
