by John Ryan, general manager of
the Tonopah and Tidewater railway.
The trip to Ely was made in the Cur

in the different mines and smelters

THE REAL AND THE TRUE.

One Of the great needs of today. is for men and women to be
awakened to a quicker and fuller realization of what is real and
what is true.
If we would progress in the direction that makes for the untver-
sal good and necessarily for the individual upbulding, we must
know what in this world, is real and what is true, that is wnat is
real and what is true to each of us.
To master this knowledge and make it as an asset in our lives,
we must ever consult the intutive sense: we must rely on it; we
must cultivate it all of the time so that it will speak plainly and
speak boldly to We.
Those who are constantly looking outside of themselves for guild
ance, know not that they have such a sense! that there is within
them a still small voice that is a sure guide.
As long as we keep prominently in the foreground of our con-
seriousness, the desire to initiate others-the desire to fashion our
lives after any other life or lives; as long as we consult books and
newspapers and magazines, schools and colleges for moral stand
ards, we will never know.
We will never know the real, and we will never know the true
while our own small worldly interests are set up SO largely before
our eyes as to shut out the higher world.
We win never know il while we give ourselves to a consideration
OF an endless worry over our likes and dishkes, our loves and our
hates, our dollars and our dimes, our ascendency in this and our fear
of failure in that.
This does not mean that business should be neglected, or that
our duty to self and others go undone; it simply means that we
shall not yield the best within us to a continued consideration Of
these things. that part of our lives shall be set aside for a truer
and nobler purpose.
The true thing to you as the true thing to me is that touching
the entertainment thereof, the belief therein, the doing thereof, or
the avoidance of which there is no doubt.
This is not a right o. a wrong determined by church. ritual or
convention; not a right determined by civil government or the law of
the land. it is the right as even the dumb animals know the right
the law of being.
The bird is real, the bird is true; it does the things its nature, its
being determines for it, and the thought that we are trying to make
clear is that, every one of Gods creatures is a law unto itself and to
the extent that it is true to that law, it is true to its Maker, itself
and the world.

A DISGRACE TO

Several times during the past year, the Bonanza has called the
attention of the people of Tonopah to the disgraceful conditions ex-
listing at the city cemetery, where the fence has been destroyed and
the place at time resembles a haven for stray live stock. Yester-
day the following communication was received at this Office express
ing the writer's ideas on the subject:
Editor Bonanza, Tonopah, Nevada.
Dear Sir:-A few days ago you had an editorial in your paper
in regard to the condition of our cemetery. 1t seems the people of
Tonopah do not realize how bad the last resting place of our lost
ones looks to strangers, and it i a disgrace to have relatives of the
dead come to this city and find such conditions existing.
The fence around the graveyard is in such a dilapiated condl-
tn that burros, cattle, and in fact numerous breeds of stray ami
mails roam at will through the place that should at least be kept
sacred, in memory of those who have departed this life. The graves
are trampled down and headstones often dismantled and half the
time it is hard to tell who is buried in some of the graves. Should
this condition continue for another year. there will be no means to
even determine if a burial ground ever existed in that locality.
"a number of relatives of the deceased have attempted to raise
plants and decorate the graves, but everytime anything along this
line was started, the burros would be on hand and indulge in a mid
night feast of whatever greenery that had been left there.
If you can spare space in your paper to acquaint the people
with the true facts of the matter and also call the attention of those
who are empowered to act, they might at least erect a fence around
the cemetery that would keep the animals from trampling the
graves and allow those who are so inclined to decorate the place.
Yours sincerely,
SUBSCRIBER

SUGAR.

More than six billion pounds Of sugar are consumed in the Unit
ed States every year.
The average price of sugar in England last year was 81 20 per
hundred pounds and the average price in the United States was
$4.96 per hundred pounds.
Taking the total of six billions Of pounds that difference in price
made a difference to the consumers in America of $113, 400 900.
The difference in the tariff rates on sugar in the United States
and England caused the difference in price.
Had the tariff on sugar in this country been the same a the tariff
in England, we would have paid $11S, 100000 less for the sugar we
used last year than we did pay.
If the government of the United States got the s113,4O 900,
one would not be inclined to complain, but 1t did not and it did not
get half of it. 1t got less than fftythree millions.
If the sugar industries of this country were Struggling" in
duTries, there would not be so much ground for complaint, but they
are not infant" ones; on the contrary, they are gigantic monopo-
lies distatng terms in all civil things to the people of the United
States.

THE GOOD U

After repeatedly calling the attention of the citizens of Tono-
pah to the conditions existing in our graveyard, the Bonanza has
at last aroused the indigatnion of the local business men and now
steps are being taken toward remedying the eye-sore of the COM
munity. The fence surrounding the cemetery is down and it is a
common thing for those visiting the grave of a loved one to find 1t
trampled and hardly recognizable.
Committees have been appointed by the various fraternal or
CARNATIONS and business orders, and hurried steps are being taken
toward the repairing of the graveyard. The day we decorate the
resting place of our dead is close at hand, and every patriotic citt-
zen should make of himsel, or herself, a committee of one
to see that the burying ground s. in frst-class condition by May 30.
A great many may not be able to help in actual labor, but they can
subscribe for tickets for the entertainment at the Butler Sunday
night, half of which receipts will be donated to the committee having
in charge the restoration of the city cemetery.
Make it a full house on Sunday night. You will not regret the
dollar spent for admission.

QUITE AUTHENTIC.

With great daring headlines an evening paper of this city print
ed last night an account of the Tonopah Extension making prepare
lions to build a mill.
And the account said that the matter was rumored. If the per-
son who wrote the article will happen to look over the files of the
Bonanza they will find where this paper printed the same story some
two months ago, and printed 1t as a fact, not a rumor.
The Bonanza prints the mining news of Tonopah in an anthem
tic manner, and does not spread scare heads over an article that hap
pened in the last century nor describe strikes that have not been
made.
With silver advancing in price and the end of the tariff legkla-
ton in sight there is nothing to interfere with the immediate pros
peHty of many Nevada mining camps. This is especial true Of the
district in which the white metal predominates. With the settlement

TURNING OUT
The BEST WORK

The bindery OF the Bonanza is
turning out the best work in the
city. and 1t Is giving such great salts
faction that anyone who has his work
done there once, never goes anywhere
else. The plant is the finest and
most complete, not only in the State,
but this side of San Francisco. We
can turn out all kinds of work that
is demanded in the offices of lawyers,
brokers, promoters, mining compan-
les, or for any other kind OF business,
and we guarantee satisfaction in
every respect =

1t must be an awful shock to Abdul Hamid, the deposed Turkish
ruler to have to content himself in a private villa with only eleven
wives. After buying hats and other modern paraphernala for more
than one hundred of them for many years the sudden change i'm
posed by the Young Turks must be nearly maddening. Only eleven
wives; Just think of it.
