CONDITIONS IN
The EAST ARE
MUCH IMPROVED

H. G. Merry, prominent business
man of Baltimore, Maryland, arrived
in Tonopah yesterday from his east
ern home and will remain here sew
eral days. Mr.. Merry was very Opt
mistic regarding the outlook for the
new year and in speaking of condi-
lions in the east said:
THE financial conditions through
out the east are rapidly regaining
their normal condition and where a
few months ago it was impossible to
secure even small loan from the
banks, the financial institutions are
now answering all requests for
money Since the election the bust
ness houses are becoming more pros
porous and greater business is be-
ing transacted along all lines. New
Industries are being opened up and
employment is being offered to all.
Capital is now looking for in
vestment and in this line eyes are
turned toward the west, where great
er inducements are offered to the
investors,
Mr.. Merry is heavily interested in
the Ubehebe district and will pay
that place visit before he returns.

welcomed in by the Tonopah people
last night in way which, although
very quiet when compared with mem

New York, suficied to let down

time to turn the leaf of the calendar.
There were several parties of young
people out in sheet and pillowcase
and masked, armed with horns, bells
and other instruments through and
by which to give expression to their
exhiliaration as they paraded the
streets.

DELIVERY OF
MILK IN A HURRY

A lively runaway took place yes
terday afternoon on Brougher ave-
nue. and Main streets. A horse at
tached to one of the milk wagons of
the Tonopah Dairy company became
frightened while in front of the
famous Nevada Club saloon and
started for home and hay. After
turning the Bropgher avenue corner
it started up the street and nearly
reached the end of Florence avenue
before it stopped. Along the entire
course taken by the frightened
equine there was distributed milk,
milk cans and milk bottles-a verti-
able milky way

RICH STRIKE
At RAWHIDE
ON THURSDAY
Especial to the Bonanza. }

RAWHIDE, Dec. 31.-A rich
strike was made this morning in the
shaft of the Grutt Balloon Hill Min
ing company, which is operating on
Balloon hill. The extent of the ledge
has not as yet been determined as
the ore body was broken into by the
shots of last nights shift. Samples
that were taken from the first bucket
that was hoisted to the surface show
free gold in large quantities. The
rock is of sulphide character and
also carries a large percentage of
silver. The shaft was sunk on well
defined ledge and on the 120-foot
level where crosscut was started
in, and at point fifty feet from the
shaft, the strike was made The
ledge is believed to be one of the
finest and richest that has been en-
countered in this camp.

Dyndnited Ore
House of the
TOnOpdh Go.

A dastardly attempt was made
early yesterday morning to blow up
the ore house of the Tonopah Mining
company. The party or parties who
attempted the trick were evidently
unused to the use of dynamite or
while making the attempt forgot
their knowledge as to the power of
dynamite, for the explosive was
placed on the stills of the building
next to the ground. Evidently there
were two charges placed, for within
one minute after the first explosion,
which happened about 5 o'clock, the
second went off, The noise awaken
ed nearly the entire city and rush
was made to the point where the ex-
plosion occurred. The only damage
done was the blowing to small slivers
of several of the IL by IL stills and
loosening nearly every sheet of the
corrugated iron which covered the
structure. The last was done by the
conclusion. The damage can easily
be covered by $40.
There is no known cause why any

ARE GIVEN VERY
THOROUGH TEST

J. T. Cocker, E. R. Collins, Tom
Murphy and Charles Schroeder re-
turned Wednesday from the Nevada
Placer Mines company's workings at
Midas, where, they have been maxi
ing an actual test of the ground
there. The test resulted more than
satisfactory for the first estimate of
the value of the ground was given at
81 a cubic yard, but when the re-
suits of the test were known it was
found that three cubic yards of the
dirt gave returns that nearly reached
So. The dirt was picked up at ran
dom and from different depths and
it gives a good idea of what will be
found when the company starts ac-
tual operations
Mr. Cocker and Murphy left yester-
day for Goldfield and will leave that
city this morning for San Francisco
where a complete outfit will be pur-
chased and shipped Immediately. It

to give the required force to the wa
ter. They have already built over
800 feet of sluice boxes and all that
is needed now is the machinery from
the coast.

one should attempt to destroy the
building, but it is supposed to have
been done by the same parties who
set fire to the oil house few weeks
ago, belonging to the same company,
which was completely destroyed. 1t
is the opinion Of the authorities that
it is the work of some dischar3e l
miner who imagines himself to have
been greatly wronged and is see - 9
revenge in this way
The grounds are patrolled night :
by night Waterman and he rerort-
ed that he had seen no suspicious
characters during the entire evening.
1t would be an easy matter for any
one to enter the building during the
night as the hills are full of ravines
and gullies and it would be almost
impossible to detect the prowler.

of men to guard their property and
