A QUESTION.

The road from the Bedding line leading south over Jump hill is in very bad condition and would be a disgrace to any town to have such 2 road in it's borders, even if IS were 8 second and third class road. The road is one of the main ones from Danbury, Bethel and Bridgeport and other towns and a great deal of 'tra- vel passes over it every day. Cannot the town fathers take the matter in hand and see that it is repaired so it will be a pleasure to travel over it.

Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1909-08-05
CAPITALISTS INSPECT
ELY=GOLDFIELDx ROUTE

Pleased beyond expectation and
we'll impressed with the first views
of Ely as they arrived hot. and dusty
after making the run from Hot
Creek, the Ely-Goldfield railroad
party arrived about o'clock last
evening and after stopping for few
minutes at the Northern, proceeded
to the Steptoe where they engaged
rooms.
Max Bernheimer, wealthy New
Yorker, who is one of the syndicate
back of the projected road, and who
is extensively interested in the big
gest gold mine of the state; DR..
Leonard A. Dessar, also of New
York; John Ryan, general manager
of the Tonopah and Tidewater rail-
road; w. R. Alberger of Los An
geles, traffic manager of the Tono-
pah and Tidewater, and Bullfrog-
Goldfield roads; Malcolm Macdonald,
president of the Nevada Smelling
and Mines corporation and a wealthy
mine operator of southern Nevada,
and Charles Kirchen, general man
ager of the Tonopah Extension and
other companies, comprised the par
ty that left Tonopah Tuesday morn
ing to visit several of the most
prominent camps along the line of
the proposed railroad for the pur-
pose of familiarizing themselves
with the part of the state through
which it will pass.
Regarding the feasibility of the
road, all the members of the party
were optimistic, especially Messrs.
Bernheimer and Alberger, who had
never been over the route before.
Mr.. Bernheimer stated he believed
it was only question of financing
and was of the opinion that the
data which is being collected to
submit to capitalists when the sur
veys are completed will show that
not only is it feasible of construc-
tion but that it will also be shown
the new road will be profitable
investment. He was greatly i'm
pressed by the agricultural POSSIBLE
tiles of the numerous valleys
Through which they came on theil
way to Ely.
Mr.. Bernheimer made the predic
ton that larger mines than have
been found and developed up tt
date would be found in the future
and he considered the amount of ore
worth from $40 up, that is nov
known to exist in the country, as /;
wonderful showing, but only an in
dication of what might be expected
