of the
riiZpdh Hotel a
Notable Even

The opening of the Mizpah hotel in
this city last evening was most
noteworthy event, and it is safe to
say that during the course of the late
afternoon and evening and night
over half of the population of Tono-
pah was there, either to see and adj
mire, or to make a first test of the
accommodations of the new hotel
which, by the way, can not be excell-
ed by any hostelry IN the state of Ne
vada for elegance and completeness
of appointment, or in excellence of
service. Suites, single rooms, rooms
for private business meetings, baths,
lavatories, steam, hot and cold wa
ter and electric and gas service, all
are complete. Nor does the weary
one have to climb stairs, for an cleo
trio elevator runs from basement to
garnet, and should the guest desire,
| he can stroll into the Office, state that
he wants to be fed, bathed, and put
to bed, and all these things will be
attended to for him.
The rooms in the Mizpah are sec
ond to none anywhere. and any kind
of suite or single room can be Sc
cured.
Downstairs the finishings and ap.
pointments of the new hostelry are
superb. The spacious offices and lob.
by are accessible from either Brough-
er or Main streets, and once within
the guest of the hotel finds every

thing conductive to comfort. Read
ing and writing tables, with comfort
able chairs, dot the spacious lobby,
while all around the walls and in
front of the great plate glass win
dows are broad cushioned benches
which are at once pleasant and af-
fording excellent places for quiet
chats and an observation of all that
transpires within the lobby and
without on the streets.
1t is but few steps from the lob
by to the elegantly fitted bar room,
where the drinker of discerning taste
can find liquors of the finest in the
land, and at the same time find
pleasure for his artistic senses.
The grill room, just back and to
one end of the bar and the lobby, is
perhaps the best arranged dining
and lunching room in Nevada. The
furnishings are solid, yet pleasing
the furniture in oak to match the
polished oak in which the entire no
tel is finished, and the snowy linen
shining silver and glassware, ant
dainty china all serving to add much
to the pleasure of meal there
Messrs. Dewar and Hinkle are il
charge there, and all evening and un
til late in the night they were KEEP
busy serving dinner and luncheon
parlors with viands which would
have done credit in point of variet.

metropolitan cafes.
The entire hotel, even to the living
apartments, was thrown open to the
public, and all evening the hustling
and corteous manager of the Mizpah,
Bob Govan, was busy showing par
ties through the new establishment.
The Mizpah is credit to Tonopah,
and it eminently deserves a patron
age which will enable it to maintain
and improve upon If possible-the
high standard of excellence upon
which it starts. Good luck to the
Mizpah. Throughout the evening
late and popular airs were .discoursed
by an orchestra, adding much to the
pleasure of the guests and to the
general festive air which pervaded
the formal opening of the new hotel

OLDFIELD FEDERAL
BUILDING TO BE ON
FLATIRON BLOCK

If the required abstracts of title
and other evidence of possession are
furnished the federal government
within the enusing two months, the
new federal postof1ce building for
Goldfield will be located on the tri-
angle bound by Gold, Main, Broad
way and Miner
In a communication received yes
terday from the treasury department
at Washington, the triangular site is
formally accepted, with two provisos,
the first being that satisfactory title
be given within sixty days, and the
other, that within one month after
notice as given from Washington, all
improvements will have been remov-
ed, leaving the ground unincumbered
in any way
These two matters out of the way
it will be a question of only a few
months before Goldfield will have a
federal building costing anywhere
from $4,000 to SIS, Its archi.
lecture will be in consonance with
the general plans of federal struct
ures all over the United States, and
to any city in the country of the
size of Goldfield it will be credit

from which streams of gold have
flowed, and will continue to flow, will
be a tremendous advertisement for
southern Nevada.
A lengthy letter has been received
by J. c. Mcdaniel, John Holley and
Claus P. Jensen from George B. Cor
telyou, secretary of the treasury,
formally announcing the acceptance,
on the part of the United States, of
the site offered to the government for
81, but with the two conditions stip-
ulated above. The three gentlemen
named have options on all property
in the triangle that they do not own,
but it will require several thousand
dollars to take them up, and arrange
ments are now being perfected
whereby, within a very short time
the site can be turned over to the
government with absolutely clear
title.
The preliminary cost of the federal
building for Goldfield will be in the
neighborhood of $4,000, but Sena

weeks ago that he would do his ut

gress to have the appropriation in
creased SO that Goldfeld might ex
pect ultimately an appropriation o.
from 100000 to $500 900.
