A newspaper has two things to sell
space for advertisers and subscriptions
to the publication. These are two of
the sources of revenue from which the
editor derives living. To ask him to
give dozen lines of space to boost a
business firm Just to fill up" as a
person was heard to remark the other
day, is drawing the line rather fine
No other business gives as much for
nothing as the newspapers. Suppose
you go into merchants store and ask
him to give you a dozen bananas "just
to fill up WITH" and see how quickly
you get 'fred. 3"

According to preliminary estimate
of the Director of the Mint the world S
output of gold for 1903 was 1927, 600, 900,
against $40, 600, 600 in 1907. The gold
produced in the United States was S96, =
313, 256-a gain of nearly $4,000, 900
over the production for 1907. The
whole production of gold in the world
was less by $50, 100000 than the value
of coal produced in the United States
and 500, 600, 600 less than the value of
our iron production. Coal, iron, copper
and petroleum each exceed in value the
gold output in the United States.
Africa at present carries off the palm
for gold production, the aggregate for
1908 being estimated at $165, 900, 600.

MANHATTAN MAKING GOOD
AS A PLACER CAMP

Arthur Raycraft of the Manhat-
tan Dexter company was an arrival
in Tonopah yesterday morning from
the northern camp and reports Man
haitian enjoying better times than for
some time past. The recent placer
discoveries has caused a new spirit
to take hold of the people there with
the result that important develop
ments are being made which augur
well for the future prospects Of that
camp.
Mr.. Raycraft brings the informa-
ton that the town is full of strang-
ers, many Of whom are placer miners
of years of experience and that they
are Of the unanimous opinion that
Manhattan will prove one of the larg-
est placer producers in the country.
Alaskans there declare that the pros
poets are as bright IN Manhattan as
they were in the early days of Uncle
Sans most northern possession
Many of these miners are trying to
get hold of ground there, offering
splendid inducements to secure a
foothold in the camp.

company has spent thousands upon

up to this time has not reaped one

built which has never paid for itself
and other improvements undertaken
and financed to open up the re-
sources of the state which have been
met without a whimper. The COM
pany realizes that it has a great prop
erty, but up to this time it has paid
nothing upon the investment.

of the other gentlemen under indict-
ment. We have not tr~angressed the

REPORTS FROM GLENDALE
ARE VERY FLATTERING

The developments of yesterday at
Glendale, according to ones return
ing from there, are summed up in
n expression, they have it." BY
that is meant that the Cliffords have
encountered the rich vein in the open
cut at a distance v~ariously estimated
from eight to ten feet beneath the
surface.
Rumors were rife upon the streets
yesterday that ore had been encount-
cred on the Grimes, Malley and War
burton lease, but no confirmation OF
the report could be obtained and 1t
is but fair to presume that 1t has
been some what exaggerated. How
ever, the gentlemen have a splendid
block of ground and 1t will not be at
surprising to learn that they have
struck 1t ono they are fairly started.
Travel to the new camp continues
to increase. Judging that 1t main
its ratio Of increase for the next
few days the tide of travel Glendale
ward will approach a stampede.

l have always known the camp to be
one of excellent merit. l walked
fully twenty-eight miles through the
underground workings and saw some
mighty fine sights. I find here per-
feet harmony between the mine own
er and the miner, a condition that is
pleasing to n in my position.
Il want to tell you Of Silver Peak,
from which camp | returned this aft
ernoon. There is a deal of interest
being manifested there. The owners
Of the different properties are open
ing up the same with most satisfac-
tory results. The larger of the COM
panies are operating at full capacity.
The Silver Peak Mining company is
doing many things of a commendable
nature. For instance, the company
has established schools, churches and
two emergency hospitals, one at the
mine and one at the mill. The latter
are fitted with the latest appliances
for catering to the wants of the sick
or injured. At the Blair mine, a
st%eam-heated bunk house containing
shower baths and modern lavatories
is under course of construction. It
seems to be the policy of the opera
tors in the district to do all in their
power for the safety and comfort Of
the employees.
The scale of wages in force at
Blair is greater than that OF any
other camp in the world. Conse-
quently the class of men is Of the
best.
Let II be said that there Is a gem
eral tendency among the mine own
ers to get but the very best Of men
to work in and about their properties.
As a result, the feeling between the
employer and employee is OF the best
Wherever | have been | have been
very courtesy treated by the owners
and men alike. | am more than
pleased with the reception that / have
been accorded in each place and will
try to meet both alike in a fair and
impartial manner"
Mr.. Stuart will leave this morning
for Carson City, where for a time
he will be busy getting out his report
on so much as he has seen during
the early days of his incumbency in
office.

playhouses of Tonopah and Gold
field. In Tonopah II Is proposed to
build a theater of the most modern
type. 1t will be located in the heart
of the business section of the city.
While east Mr.. Aylesworth made
arrangements with the big booking
concerns to handle the entire bust
ness of the state of Nevada. He will,
therefore have the billing of plays
for Reno, Carson City, Virginia City,
Goldfeld and Tonopah. In his let
ter, Mr.. Aylesworth states that he
will secure only the best of attrac-
lions and that of the cities named he
will make one of the finest circuits
on the Pacific slope.
The venture will unquestionably
prove a huge success. The people Of
this state are always willing to pat
ronize good attractions. The great
trouble has been that they have
been mulced so much that they are
suspicious. However, If the scheme
of Mr.. Aylesworth is carried to a sue
cessful conclusion, he will find the
people of Nevada with him heart,
hand and pocketbook.

The Bonanza today prints the first
interview yer given to a Nevada
newspaper by Mine Inspector e. e.
Stuart. 1t is full of meat for those
who have not kept themselves ac-
quainted with real conditions in Ne
vada and is as full of optimism as
big Ed" is of good nature.
Mr.. Stuart, since his appointment
to the responsible position of mine
inspector, has been busily engaged in
performing the duties of his office. He
already has travelled several thousand
miles over the highways and byways
of the sagebrush state. His opinion
is, therefore, one that carries consid-
cradle weight.
I'm my opinion" said he yester-
day afternoon to a Bonanza reporter,
upon his arrival from Silver Peak,
THE state looks better than at any
tlAuS III ITO hiSlOiSs iSoiatCh camps
that are little talked of and seldom
heard from are showing up well and
entering upon an era of production.
Everywhere l have been there seems
to be considerable activity. In many
Of the smaller camps that | say are
little spoken of, the surface showings
are indeed encouraging, enough at
least to warrant the prediction that
they will come into their own before
many months will have rolled on to
history.
II have been to Ely, Goldheld,
Ida, Tokop, Hornsilver, Quartz
Mountain, Tonopah, Lone Mountain,
Klondike and other camps that at
this time | cannot recall. Each is
looking fine and development is show
ing them all to be worthy ones. Ne
yada's production this year will be
nightly increased over that of last
year, while | am sincere when ! give
1t as my belief that next year will be
even greater and the next greater
still, until the production Of Nevada
will actually startle the world.
II was greatly pleased with condi-
tions as | found them in this camp.
My official position does not permit
me of talking too much. but | feel
within the bounds when | say that
the showings here completely surpris-
ed me. notwithstanding the fact that

A NEW THEATER TO
BE BUILA HERE

Tonopah is promised one of the
most up-to-date playhouses in the
state at an early date. II may not
be generally known. but It is a fact
nevertheless that at the present time
A. j.. Aylesworth of Tonopah and
Goldfeld has an option on two SPLEEN
did sites in this city and from advices
received in Tonopah yesterday he
will take up the option Immediately
upon HIS return from the east, where
he has been for the past several
weeks in connection with the financ-
ing of his enterprise and visiting
with relatives.
S. G. Haas of the Butler theater
yesterday received a communication
from Mr.. Aylesworth in which he
stated that he had received assur-
ances from United States Senator
Nixon that the latter would build a
100000 opera house in Reno. Mr..
Aylesworth will have the manage
ment of the same as well as the
