ARTHUR CROGKER !
RAWHIDE BOOSTER
RETURNS TO NEVADA CANT
VI vMHERE HE HAS AeQUERED
HOLDINGS.

arthur j. Crocker, former Tonol
pah business man, now residing in
Oakland, dropped into Tonopah on
Sunday, from Rawhide.
No use talking,a said Mr.. Crock
err, once man lives in the desert
YOU can't keep him away. Here ]
am with interests at Rawhide that
are bound to occupy my attention in
Nevada for some time. | am heavily
interested in the Gray-Eagle Frac-
ton Mining and Leasing Company,
operating on Balloon hill, adjoining
the Kearns No. 2. We have opened
up the Kearns ledge with tunnel
800 feet long and have entered the
foot wall of dyke earring the ore
at an incline depth of 100 feet. The
values are small at present, but we
expect to open up better ore with a
development of twenty-five feet more.
'Rawhide has the best showing on
the surface of any camp in the State.
Business men. mining people and in.
vestors are coming in and are much
impressed with the growth and the
work of the camp"

MORE HOSTS
IN OPERATION
KEY PITTsIAN's LAST impress,
SION OF RAWHIDE BETTER
THAN EVER.


Key Pittmah returned yesteraa,
from Rawhide, where he has beer IN
specting his mining interests there
and was more impressed than eve,
withth showihgs Of the camp.
This was my fifth. trip to Raw.
hide" said Mr.. Plttman. @and !
month has ihtervened since my last
trip. On the occasion of my former
trips the streets were crowded with
people, but business seemed chief,
to be trading IN town lots. On my
recent visit ito the camp there were
not SO many people to be seen on
the. streets, but | observed a great
many hoists in operation. The report
made by some persons who have left
the camp to the effect that the boom
is dead, is absolutely untrue and
emanates either through jealousy, ig
norance or disappointment, caused by
lack of energy, or failures emanat-
ing from worse causes.
There never has been a camp in
the State that has disclosed the uuan-
tity or grade of ore in the same
length of time as has been disclose
in Rawhide. During the past. six
weeks all of the leading mining CON-
panies in the district having develop
ed as far as possible with windlass
and other temporary appliances, have
been busily engaged in erecting per
manent hosting plants. While this
work was in progress the other char
acters of mining development were
necessarily suspended.
The recent Developments in the
Kearns No ? lease. the Murray, the
Big Four, the Tri-Lode, the Booth,
the XXI, and the various leases on
the property of the Rawhide Regent
and Rawhide Rector Mining Com
pany, should indicate to any intelli-
gent and thoughtful mining man that
Rawhide has today the most wonde =
full gold showing and is destined to
be the equal If not the superior Of
any camp in the State"

TWO THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATIONS

For Peace and Good Will Governor
Patterson Calls in Bloodstained
Tennessee. May Mercy Bring the
Balm of Healing.
In his Thanksgiving proclamation
Governor Patterson Of Tennessee
made the following reference to the
troubles that now vex the city of
Nashville and the state:
But in the midst of our prosper
ity there are clouds which darken
the sky and cast their shadows
athwart our paths, Let us hope that
these will presently pass away, and
that the same divine hands which
gathered viii scatter them again, and
the warning has been taken and all
our people learn the lesson, which
some forget, that in law is our surest
hope and that only in obedience to
its eternal commands can we live in
social order, enduring peace and full
fill the high mission of civilized life.
Let US so live that good will and
gentle peace may come down from
heaven TO bless us all, that justice
shall reign among US, that we be
saved from intolerance, discussions
and suspicion. and from the evils
which flow therefrom to yex the state
and divide the people.
Let us pray that mercy will bring
her balm of healing, and bind up the
wounds of bleeding hearts wherever
they may be, that innocence will not
suffer, that our land be washed Of
bloody stains, that we may have faith
and hope and charity, and not forget
the gentle Son of God taught that
charity is the greatest of these. -

We Live in a Section ON Which the
Almighty Has Bestowed His Rich
est Gifts, Says Governor Smith Of
Peaceful Georgia.
In his Thanksgiving proclamation
Governor Smith of Georgia says:
1T is a beautiful custom to stop
from labor and take in common with
our fellOW-citizens of the entire ma
ton a day of rest and recreation
while at the same time we turn our
thoughts to the Ruler Of the universe
in humble acknowledgement of our
many blessings.
No life is without it's joys. The
way to find them is to seek to see
them They can be found by all who
from the heart will sing
" Count your many blessings,
Name them one by one
Count your many blessings,
See what God has done"
While We seek to fill our lives
and the lives of those near and dear
to us with cheer we must not fail to
remember always the less fortunate,
I'm the midst of struggle much
can be added to each life by asking
Gods aid to find the spiritual and
the better side of all around us.
Let us enjoy Thanksgiving Day,
returning unto our Heavenly Father
praise for His loving kindness, and
let us show our thanks by what we
do for others.
Our blessings will only reach
fiood-tide when, as our own wants
are met, We are mindful of the wants
of others.
The people of Georgia live in a
section upon which the Almighty has
bestowed His richest material gifts. !"

ruffians were able to terrorize whole
districts from which they exacted
tribute. and to defy the police.
Scarcely night passed on the Bow

a shooting or cutting ARRAY among
these outlaws and their conspiracy of
silence was as potent as the "omer-
