COOPER'S FOLLOWERS GIVE
REASON FOR THEIR BELIEF

With a theory that human health Is
dependent on the stomach and with q
medicine which he says proves this
theory, l.. T. Cooper, comparatively
young man, has built up an immense
following during the past year.
Cooper has visited most of the lead.
Ing cities of the country, and in each
city has aroused storm Of discussion
about his beliefs and his medicines.
Wherever he has gone, people have
called upon him by tens of thousands,
and his preparation has sold in i'm
mense quantities.
The sale of this medicine has now
spread over the entire country, and is
growing enormously each day. In view
or this, the following statements from
two OF the great number of followers
which he now has, are of general in
terest.
Mrs. Agnes Viggenhouser, of 942 st.
Louis Avenue, Chicago, has the follow

LOCAL BAIL SEASON
COMES TO AN END.

There will be no ball game Sun
day afternoon between the Millers
and Tonopah Mining company base
ball teams, to play off that tie. James
Morris, president of the Southern Ne
vada Baseball league, is in receipt of
a letter from A. r. Parsons, mana
ger of the Millers team, which reads
in part as follows:
Dear Mr.. Nc rris:-Upon going
over the question of playing another
game of baseball, l find that it will
be impossible to do so. We arranged
with our ncen to play a certain num-
Der Of games for a season ending on
a particular date. This date was ex-
tended one week in order to play off
a postponed game. Three of u men
will be away by the 18th and a
fourth can not play, and We have alb
solutely no one who could fill these
positions. Our finances, furthermore,
do not permit of further expendi-
lures. Accordingly, we shall play nc
more ball this season, and at the
same time claim the pennant on the
ground that the Millers played the
full number of games and have the
highest percentage. We take the po
sition that the tie game with the
Tonopah Mining company in no wa!
affects our standing and remains

CHICAGO WON
THE PENNANT

NEW YORK, Oct. SIN the pres
ence OF a record-breaking crowd,
which swamped the Polo grounds
and left many thousands outside to-
days baseball game was played in
deadly earnest, straight baseball with
no frills, to settle as tensely dramatic
a situation as the most ardent lover
of the sport could imagine.
Chicago's playing was practically
perfect and her players n in fine
form. The Giants were outplayed.
Brilliant, errorless fielding, snappy
base running and opportune hitting
in the third inning which was made
effective in scores, and a double by
Chance won the game. New York
could not hit at critical times.
Mathewson, the favorite of favorites,
could not keep his invincible arm in
power, and the effect of a moments
lapse in the third inning could moi
be overcome. Wiltze was put in the
box for the last two innings.

MADE DONATION TO
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT

The county commissioners y%ester-
day in response to the petition pre-
scented them, donated the sum OF
$1,000 from the town fund TO be used
for the building of the proposed
gymnasium. There were nearly a
thousand signatures to the petition,
which showed that the matter was
favored almost to a unit by the citi-
zens and taxpayers of Tonopah.
The volunteers held a meeting last
night and advised the secretary OF
that organization to notify every con-
tractor and lumber firm that sealed
bids would be received up to next
Thursday, for the construction OF the
gymnasium, and on that evening the
contract will be let to the lowest bid

RAWHIDE RAILWAY WILL
SOON BE COMPLETED

Charles w. Reed, of Rawhide,
states that the grading of the rail-
way into Rawhide will be completed
about October 10, and that the work
of laying rails will be commenced as
soon as the grade is completed. 1t
is believed that twenty-five miles of
railroad from Schurz to Rawhide
will be in operation by Christmas.
In this connection, word has been
received at Rawhide, from Reno, to
the effect that money for the compile
ton of the building of the Rawhide
Western railway had been raised and
was on deposit in New York. The
initial amount given out as being
ready to commence the work is said
to be $750,000. This we are told has
been secured through bonding the
roadbed and will be ready for i'm
mediate use in laying the rails as
soon as some few technical and legal
requirements are perfected.
This proving to be the case, no bet
ter piece of news could be heralded
in Rawhide, as the detrimental effect
of inadequate transportation facili.
ties for the great gold camp is the
prime cause to retard its rapid and
wonderful development.
The building of the railroad vii
mean cheap and rapid transit for tho
thousands of tons of milling grace
ores in which Rawhide abounds, ant
it will be instrumental in providin;
large and properly constructed reduc
tion plants at Walker lake and o.
the flats below town for the economl
cal treatment of the products of tn
mines.
= The great progress of the cam
will follow the building of larg
mills for handling the ores, and
a soon as this is done Rawhide

ever.

WANTS MORE LOCAL COLOR.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. S.-Elinor
the passionate pilgrim whom
San Francisco society caught to its
cold and pallid breast, will be back
in this city early in November. She
is then to visit the camps of south
ern Nevada, where Ray Baker will
again see to it that she is so enter
tanned in the Rawhide and G~oldfeld
camps that she will increase her adj
miration OF the western miner-the
true type of American manhood.
Mrs. Glynn has booked her passage
on the Lusitania, and she is due in
this city the latter part of October
or early in November. She is at work
on a book with the men of the min
ing camps as the heroes and some
western woman as her heroine.
Between Burlingame and the Fair
mont she will find that heroine type
and already she is full of admiration
for the mining camp heroes. She has
made Europe talk by her published
statements that in the Pacific west of
America she found the noblest types
of manhood in all her experience.
Perhaps If she knew some of the
jobs that were put up on her in
Bullfrog. Rawhide and Goldfield, not
to speak of Ubihebe and Greenwater
} she wouldn't think so highly of the
! chivalric manhood of the mines.

great poker game was fixed up TO
her benefit. When she was usheret

ISN'T 1T THE TRUTH?

"Once there was an old moss back,
who had been squatting on about fifty
claims for years. He was a typical
grounding, and the first of the year
found him putting up new notices on
all the ground he could over. He
was never known to do any work or
any boosting for the camp, but he
had them beat bowling calamity and
hard times. When anyone came into
the district he would crawl into his
shell and sulk, or else queer a deal
that his neighbor was trying to make.
He put a price on his own property
that would freeze anybody but a Nor
| gan or a Vanderbilt. One day a real
man called his bluff and offered him
| his price in cash, but do you think
old mossback would deliver! No, sir,
his price had doubled over night, and
he wouldn't exchange his ground for
the United States. Finally the CAM
was a success, but because the OLE

Mr.. Mccormack rzturned from the

of Tonopah and then east fifty miles
to the mine. Yesterday afternoon to
a Tribune reporter he said:
with a little push on the part of
the business men Of Goldfield the
trade of all that section can be
brought to this city. All that is
necessary. is to do a little repair work
on the old wagon road, which runs
n~ortheasterly through Diamondfield
and then through the Dry lake to
the northeast of Diamondield. There
is a fair road there now, but at ex-
pense which would not exceed $1,000
the bad portion of it extending for a
distance of seven miles east OF the
Dry lake, could be put in splendid
shape. The distance from Goldheld
to Clifford would be only ~sixty-t1ve
miles. This road would also bring
the trade of Bellehelen, Silver Bow
and Golden Arrow, or a fair proper
ton of it to Goldield. They are not
dead camps by any means. All the
trade is going to Tonopah at present,
and the only reason is that there is
a fair road from the camps to that
point, and a very poor one to Gold
