TONOPAH IS
INCLUDED in new
POSTAL system

General Manager F. G. Water
house of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany and also of the Southern Ne
vada Telephone-Telegraph company,
received word yesterday from Postal
headquarters announcing that a new
special rush service had been insti-
tuted among the leading cities of
the United States, and among this
number were Tonopah and Goldfield.
The other cities are Boston, Phila-
delphia, New York and Chicago. The
new service went into effect yester-
day and in the future all messages
between any of the above mention
ed cities will receive the best of at
tention and will be rushed to their
destination with the least possible
delay. The special service will be in
effect on all business days between
the hours of a. m. and 6 p. m.
The time between the sending and
the receiving of a message should
not be more than thirty minutes, 1t
depending greatly on the distance to
be travelled by the messenger deliv-
ering the telegram. Messages be-
tween Tonopah and Goldfield can be
transmitted and an answer received
within five minutes.
This new innovation will be great
ly appreciated by the patrons of the
Postal system and also speaks well
for the management of Mr.. Water
house who secured the service for
Tonopah and Goldfield, the two
smallest towns among the limited
number enjoying the advantages.
1t has not been a great length of
time since the Postal made it's ad-
vent into southern Nevada and it
is fast securing its share of the pub
lie business. A week or so ago the
management secured bicycles for the
messenger boys in order to expedite
the delivery of all kilograms.
The company has also Sc
cured motor cycles for the linemen
who frequently have to travel miles
to make repairs.
