OUR GREATEST CHARITY.

Some time ago the Tonopah Bonanza contained an editorial which
elucdated upon the hardships worked upon the Common People by
the arbitrary rates fixed by great corporations which control the mar
ket in their respective commodities, whether it be OIL transporta-
ton, or gum drops The editorial called forth the following letter
from W. ) Miller, who, it appears from the stationery upon which
he writes and from his official hand and seal" is the treasurer of
the Standard Oil company, in San Francisco. We will take his
word, and the stationery, for all that. Mr.. Miners letter follows:
San Francisco, Dec. A. 1908.
Editor Bonanza:
Our attention has been called to an article which recently ap-
peared in your newspaper reading as follows:
Down on the coast coal on-Standard Oil coal oil or kero-
sene-sels at Ice to zoe per gallon, according to the weight of Oily
John Rockefeler's donations to church or school. The selling rate
is fixed arbitrarily by the Standard Oil company. In Tonopah the
Standard Oil says: Sell kerosene at soc per gallon" And that is
what Tonopah pays for kerosene. Is there legality Or justice in
that?'
You have evidently been misinformed a to the facts in this
case, and We most respectfully ask if you would not publish in your
paper the fact that the Standard Oil company does not make any e-
fort to control nor can it control, the selling prices at which Ter
chants sell their goods to the consumers.
THE prices which the Standard Oil company get for their Coal
oil or kerosene at Tonopah are: In iron barrels, 26 NC yer gallon
and in cases. save per gallon. The prices at Tonopah are ecessar-
lily higher than they would be on the coast, OF account of the high
rates of freight The fancy grades Of kerosene, like eoene and
elaine, are sold by the Standard Oil company at SIC per gallon for
eocene and 4Sc per gallon for elaine.
1.-THE prices at which these goods are sold n San Francisco can
be found in any of the San Francisco daily newspapers.
yours truly, etc"
All Of which reminds us of the member of the English house Of
lords, who. after some fragrant violation of the rules OF that decorous
body, was required to go down on his knees before the speakers
stand, and apologize to the house, else forfeit his seat. His lord
ship demurred, but finally took his medicine, gracefully, albeit
Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1908-12-12

grudgingly. But as he arose from his knees when the ordeal was
ended, he brushed the knees of his trousers, and remarked in not
inaudibe tones:
This Railways was a dirty ouse, hannyway."
And so, in busting our trousers after printing the above letter.
We might mention a little dream we once had-not once. but many
tmes-(and was it a dream?) of certain merchants who have been
driven out of business in the east, in the middle and in the far
west, because they persisted in selling oil which was not supplied
by the greatest of all our charitable institutions, the Standard Oil
company; of merchants who were sent polite little notices of what
might happen if they persisted in selling oil in a community, even
when that oil was supplied by the charitable institution above mem
toned, at less price than other merchants in that community were
selling the same oil.
Mr. Miller is in grave danger of being accused of not making
proper use of his time if it comes to Mr.. Archbold's attention that he
took a few minutes to write to a little country newspaper in Nevada
h the Standard Oil company does not make any effort to control.
nor can it control, the selling prices at which merchants sell their
goods to the consumers" What was the use of writing that? Does
not every one know it? Mr.. Mhlers sense of humor is most subtle
and no doubt will be appreciated by our readers

grade. In a few days stopping will be
started to connect with the inter-
mediate drift.
In the intermediate drift they
have two machines working taking
out the shipping ore. The ledge here
still retains its richness and is about
four feet in width.
On the bottom level they are stop
ing in the No. 3 raise, where they
have cut into a big ledge which APP
pears to be getting richer as they
proceed. A drift has been started at
a point twenty-five feet east OF the
shaft that will cut the big ledge after
.traversing fifty feet and then stopping
will be commenced.
The mine has never looked better
during its history and at the present
time has a number OF huge ore bodies
blocked out for future work. The
company is also doing a little de-
velopment work. 1t is expected that
they will soon sink another hundred
feet and from that level drift until
the big ledge. is encountered and
then work up to the 400-foot level.

END NINE
WORKING HUGE
BODY OF ORE

]. F. Haley, state bullion and tax
collector, w. M. Gotwaldt, of the
Goldfield News, and a Bonanza repre-
sentative, under the guidance of
Foreman Robert Christian, were
taken through the workings of the
West End mine yesterday and shown
the big bodies of ore being mined.
This is Mr., Haley's first visit to one
of the Tonopah mines and he ex-
pressed himself as being greatly
astonished at the bodies of ore dis
closed.
In the drift on the first level the
ore is rapidly becoming oxidized in
character and the values are in
%creasing. When this body of ore was
first encountered the values averaged
about $40 a ton, but now it will re-
turn $50 a ton. At the point now
reached they are running along with
the ledge and have not as yet en-
countered the foot or hanging wall.
The ledge has been opened up for a
distance of 127 feet and of this the
last thirty feet is of a good milling

DESERVES MUCH COMMENTATOR.

The action of the officials of the Tonopah and Goldfeld railway in
announcing a very material cut in freight rates, to take effect Jan
uary 2, 1909, deserves the commentator Of all the residents of
southern Nevada. The cut rate, coming at a time when "dulrtimes"
is the cry, and when the great transcontinentaI roads are announc-
ing a practical 10 per cent advance, is unexpected, and at the same
time shows that the railroad is willing to do its share toward the
upbulding of the greater Nevada.

nothing then leave the yard and join me at the

there was nothing. From lack of sleep, much wor-
