STRINGING LIGHTS
FOR The MAMMOTH
July Celebration

1t is evident that Tonopah will be
a blaze of electric glory during the
nights of the forthcoming Fourth of
July festivities. Electricians are at
present at work stringing the lights
across Main street and Brougher ave-
nue.. The juice will be turned on on
the nights of June 2Sth and June
29th when the Elks will hold forth
in this city.
Electricity has come to play an
important part in the decorations at
celebrations everywhere. This year
Tonopah will show the residents as
well as the stranger within our gates
one of the best illuminations ever
seen anywhere. This feature alone
will undoubtedly attract a large
crowd from the neighboring camps.
An arrival from Goldfield yester-
day stated that quite crowd would
be in attendance from Goldfield and
reports from other sections are to the
effect that large crowds are coming.
Tonopah is going to give a. show that
capnot be beaten. The city will be
wide open to all who come.

GivenS Here in Interest of the
American Mining Congress

James c. Givens, secretary of the
executive committee of the American
Congress of Nevada, is in Tonopah.
Mr.. Givens will remain here several
days interviewing the mining men of
this district with a view to securing
their attendance at the forthcoming
session of the congress in Goldfield
and their cooperation in the sue
cess of the meeting. Mr. Givens is
domiciled at the Mizpah.
THE meeting to be held in Gold
field will undoubtedly be one of the
largest that has ever been held ty
the congress" said Mr.. Givens to a
representative of the Bonanza. In
addition it will be the most repre-
sentative gathering of mining men
ever met within the borders of this
or any other state. The aggregate
amount of wealth to be represented
will run away up into the millions.
consequently 1t will be seen that ta;s
section in particular and the state
in general will be greatly benefited
Tonopah will be visited by the men,
bers in a body for at least one day.
We hope to have the finest ex-
hibit of ore ever displayed in the
world. Much depends on getting to-
gether display that will prove at
tractiye. Many OF the men who are
coming will want TO see the ores
characteristic OF Nevada: In fact.

ANOTHER STRIKE
IS REPORTED At
GLENDALE CAMP

If reports received in this city yes
terday can be taken as correct, and
there seems to be no reason to doubt
their accuracy, Glendale has proven
that it is a district over which the
great gold values may be judged to
be quite extensively distributed.
The news is to the effect that T. T.
Cornforth, mining man of repute,
has found the rich vein on his lease
on the Morning Star claim, 1900 feet
from the original find. Mr.. Cornforth
has spent several days in the new dis
.ict making careful and studied
examination of the vein system in an
eAdeavor to prove it's continuity. 1t
would appear that success has crown
ed his efforts for upon his lease he
has uncovered ledge which he be-
lieves is the identical vein from
which the Clifford boys are now sack
ing ore of phenomenal richness.
The find has had it's effect upon
the camp and in this city. 1t shows
that the values are not confined to
the main strike, but may be looked
to occur at widely separated places
in the district. Glendale itself is
assuming the proportions of sure
enough mining camp. The various
leasers are on the ground and those
not already settled down to work are
preparing to begin not later than the
first of the coming month. When the
different leases are under way, the
camp will take on boom in all real
ity.
There seems to be an unanimity of
opinion concerning the camp. Every
person who returns from there brings
in the most glowing reports until one
cannot help but feel that the camp
is certain to make good. Nothing
like it has ever been seen perhaps in
the mining world. The showing at
surface and at the depth which has
been attained by the Cliffords is moth
ing short of remarkable, judging
from the statements of some of the
most reputable mining men in this
state.
Tonopah is feeling the effect of the
new camp upon this town. Conditions
here have materially improved dur
ing the past few weeks due in no
small degree to the birth of Ellen
dale. Tonopah people have gotten in
heavily in the new camp and they are
not ones to tumble over each other
chasing rainbows. Taken conditions
in general into consideration. the
signs point to Glendale as a fixed
star in the mining armament.

Mr.. Givens is an enthusiastic talk
err He is doing a mighty splendid
service toward the success of the con-
gress in his official capacity. He be-
lieves that Nevada is going to profit
to such an extent that the invest
ments that will follow the meeting of
the congress will make of Nevada the
greatest mineral producer in the
union in the year 1910. He inform
