THERE IS none
LIKE TONOPAH
PIONEER RETURNS AND so Ex-
PRESSES HIMSELF ABOUT
THIS CAMP.

R. T. Brodek, one of the pioneers
of Tonopah, came in Sunday from
Los Angeles, where he now has his
home. Mr.. Brodek has been inter-
ested in mining from the time he was
sixteen years old, and has the dis
tinction of having been in every min
ing camp in this State. But there
is none of them like Tonopah,' said
Mr.. Brodek, ''for despite the glowing
terms you hear applied to the other
places, there is only one camp that
is assured of its permanency, and
that is your own city. | am interest
ed in the Lucky Baldwin property at
Gold Mountain and will start in OPP
erations Immediately. l have spent
considerable money in this property,
and while the lodges encountered
were not of great extent, it is my
belief that Gold Mountain will prove
to be a second Tonopah. There has
been ore extracted from the property
that went up in the thousands, but
of course the bodies were small
Mr.. Brodek will remain in Tonopah
about month before returning to
his home in Los Angeles.

Will sign UP FOR
The PRELIMINARIES
ED WILSON SECURES FREDDIE
WEEKS AND JACK LAWRENCE
FOR A BOUT.

Ed Wilson, manager of the Casino
Athletic Club, will today, in all prob
ability, sign Freddie Weeks and Jack
Lawrence for a six-round preliminary
so in the smoker which takes places
on the evening of July 4. Weeks has
quite a reputation as fighter, and
has only been knocked out once, and
that was by Abe .tttell. Lawrence
was sent out to Mr.. Wilson by Otto
Floto, of Denver, and has quite a
long string of victories to his crediV.
This will be quite an addition to the
match between Sullivan and Mustain,
as both men are very evenly matched.
The training quarters of Mustain
and Sullivan wree packed yesterday
afternoon to see the big fighters
work out, and there was considerable
comment of the comparative size OF
the men. The opinion seemed to be
that the mate win be one of the bes:
ever pulled off in Tonopah, and il
should in all likelihood so the 20
rounds.

HANGS BY BAR tn
BURNING BALLOON


OAKLAND, June Hanging by
his knees to the crossbar of burn
ing balloon, Joseph Randall, aero
naut for Idora Park, dropped 200
feet today escaping with nothing
worse than some severe bruises.
Randall made the ascension in the
presence of hundreds of persons. At
ter rising about 200 feet the specta-
tors below saw the balloon catch fire,
and the shout of terror which met his
ears was the first notification he re-
ceived of his danger. He was hang
Ing by his legs, head down, at the
time, but at the cry of warning from
below he jerked himself up to a sit
ting position, and catching sight OF
the flames bursting from the sides
of the immense canvas bag, grabbe1
for his parachute.
He was too late. Before he could
disentangle himself and get the para
chute into working order the balloon
was enveloped in flames and, freed
from the gas which upheld it
dropped directly over the roof of Ido-
ra Park Theater.

WINGFIELn HAS
GOOD GOLD Mine

PLACERVILLE, June 23.-In the
American Mining Review, published
in Los Angeles, appears in the issue
of June 18th an article about the
well-known mining man, George
Wingfield, who is now Interested in
Ell Dorado County. The Review says:
This well-known mining man is in
Los Angeles on business for a few
days. He is finishing up the details
of "a deal for the Alpine mine near
Georgetown, Cal. Mr.. Wingfield is
very enthusiastic about the Alpine.
He says on the 300-foot level he has
developed thirty-one feet Of ore that
will average $12, and has drifted on
il 200 feet. On the levels above the
ore averages about $40. In that To-
cality wood and water are abundant
and cheap, SO that $12 ore is largely
profitable
Mr.. Wingfield has. an established
reputation as a man who does things
in mining, instead of standing aroun,i
and talking inst to hear himself talk
and we are pleased to know that he
is satisfied with the Alpine. 1t will
not be permitted to lie idle and un-
worked under his control, and the
starting up of active operations on
that property will probably result in
capital taking hold of some of the
other promising mining properties in
this county.

There are heroes and heroes, but
John McGorthy of St. Paul is one of

Rushing to the spot, MEG orthy thurst

succeeded in turning safety stopcock,
which shut off the gas supply. Had
he not done this an explosion must
have resulted which would probably
have blown the gas plant and all the

to q cinder and his side literally
broiled. The hero of this self-sacrifc-

Billy Sunday, who calls himself an

of dollars yearly, in an address at
Pittsburg last week entitled, "Why
Ministers FAIL" said that many OF
the modern preachers are ''fudge-eat-

springing bum bull con on their con.
gregations. He also referred to them
as ''stiffs, salary quacks and candi-
dates for the funny house." Such
billingsgate as this-the vernacular OF
hoboes-can hardly be expected to ad-
vance the cause of religion and is an
infamous libel on the ministers OF the
gospel. Instead of being encouraged,
men of the Sunday stripe of ''evangel-
lists" should be chased out of town.
Their diatribes are pernicious. e..

Some of the papers are protesting
because the last session of congress
appropriated more money than any
previous session in the history of the
American nation. But isn't. the
country growing faster and making
more improvements than ever before,
and is it not necessary that congress
provide for these conditions? The
money appropriated by congress has
