FORMER RESIDENT
IMPRESSED WITH
TONOPAH OUTLOOK
FORMER RESIDENT SEES I'M
PROVEMENT IN THE CAMP
OF TONOPAH.

Charles Watson, one of the pio-
neers of the camp of Tonopah, but
now a resident of Goldfeld, is
spending a few days in the camp of
his first love. Mr. Watson was seen
by a representative of the Bonanza
yesterday and he said that Tonopah
had the reputation of being the very
best camp in the state and from
what he had seen during his stay
here it was entitled to all the praise
that was being bestowed upon it.
Il have been in and out of Tono-
pah for a number of years." said
he, land | know of no time that
the camp has presented more sub
Istantial appearance, There appears
to be plenty of money here, which
can always be taken as a criterion.
The mines are producing steadily,
the camp has a big payroll and
understand that the leasing system
is again to be put in motion.
'Tonopah has always been looked
upon as a camp that would last for
many many years and the develop
ments in the deeper workings of the
district bear out the faith of all who
are acquainted with the properties
here.
Il came here in the early days,
having been compelled to almost
walk across the desert in the days
of the early excitement, Tonopah has
grown wonderfully since then; in
fact it is one of the really good
cities of the state. | am often told
by people that the appearance of
Tonopah was complete surprise to
them. They had expected to find
here roughly built camp, the kind
you read in books, but their opinions
have been changed when they gaze
upon a substantially built town hav-
ing every modern convenience. Ton
opah is sure winner and is good
for years to come"

OLD TIMERS
ARE FIGURING
ON REUNION
TALK OF HAVING REUNION IN
THE NO DISTANT
FUTURE.

So many of the old timers of the
Tonopah district have returned TIC
the camp of late, that the thought
has occurred to them that it would
be unique to have a reunion of the
pioneers of the Tonopah district in
the no-diFant future, sort of fam
lily affair as it were.
The scheme is to appoint COM
mittees that will take the matter up
and carry it out to a successful
conclusion. In every community
where dwells Tonopahans of the
early days, each former resident will
be appointed a committee of one to
see that he himself attends the
gathering and .endeavors to seek
others who braved the hardships of
the days when the camp vas young
and ask their cooperation toward
the success of the meeting.
James McQuillan and others have
been talking the matter over for
some time The proposition has met
the hearty approval of all who have
been approached upon the subject
and there is every reason to be-
lieve that if concerted action is TAX
en-, there will be gathered in Tono-
pah one of these fine days a large
representation of the old guard.
Tonopah, the town, will unques-
tionably stands in and lend its moral
support. Tonopah is replete with
history; the gathering of the old
boys would be an education in itself
To sit and hear them relate stories
of days that are past would be the
finest relish that anyone could par
take of. 1t is to be hoped that the
mater will be taken up at once and
carried out successfully.

BULLFROG BANK
TROUBLES TOLD
BY NEWSPAPER
BULLFROG BANK AND TRUST
co. PEACEFULLY GIVES
UP GHOST.

The Bullfrog Bank and Trust
company failed to open its doors on
Tuesday morning, and in lieu there
of announced that the institution
ing board says the Bullfrog Miner.
The failure includes the bank at
Rhyolite and the branch institution
at Beatty. The action was taken by
Cashier Joe Small voluntarily, and
in the exercise of his best discretion.
The reason seems to be that the
business was in crippled condition
and that it was no longer practical
to keep up expenses.
Owen Young of Grand Forks,
North Dakota, is the president of the
banking company, and the chief fin
ancier. He has been carrying the
affairs along for some time and is
now depended upon to meet what
loss may be threatened to the depos-
itors of the concern.
number of Rhyolite business
houses and some mining projects
are sufferers in having their money
tied up in the closed institution. The
exact condition of the finances is not
known publicly as yet. State Bank
Examiner Van Fleet is busy on the
books now and will return his re-
port to the board within a few days.
It is locally considered that the pros
poets are bright of an early settle
ment in full. No substantial loans
are known of that could have
brought about the embarrassment
1t is probably a case merely OF
steady expenses and not enough
coming in to meet the same. No of,
fetal statements on this subject car
be obtained from any source.
The Beatty branch was a legiti
mate branch of the local affair vi
to the passage of the late banking
law. BY that law such an arrange
ment was not permitted and since
that time the Beatty house has beer
cleaned up as fast as possible ant
was as a practical proposition closed
some time ago.
The Pioneer Banking corporation
is an allied enterprise with the loca
bank, in that 1t has the same people
behind It. This has been closed b!
the state officials to secure 1t agains
wrecking during the winding up o
the other affair This bank has onl.
been open about two months and /
reported to be sound. When tn
storm passes. this bank will prob
ably open again and do business a
formerly.
The Rhyolite and Beatty bank
will undoubtedly go into the hand
OF receiver. Joe Small is the Gus
ltodian of the former institution.

sNowsHoE CHARLIE IN TOWN.

Charles Ravenscroft, better known
as "Snowshoe Charlie" is in Tono-
pah spending a few days as well as
a few dollars. 'Snowshoe" is known
to nearly everyone in these parts.
1t was he who first carried the mail
into Tonopah on snowshoes in July,
1901. From that time on he has
been hanging around these parts,
getting a stake now and then from
Mother Earth and occasionally one
from the restaurant keepers. He has
been in every mining camp from
"Greenland's icy mountains to In
dia's coraI strands" and is so well
acquainted with rock that he can
smell pay dirt for quite distance.
From here he expects to go to the
Reese river section to engage in the
goldfish industry as a livelihoof
putting in his spare time looking fdS
mineral-bearing veins.

"A WOMAN'S
SECRET" At
The PAVILION

The Elleford company gave the
farce comedy last night of "A Royal
Reception" and it proved a laugh
maker of the first water. The audi
enca was kept in one continual long
laugh at the mistaken identity of
the twins. A young man in love
with a woman that his father does
not want him to marry makes up
from photograph which proves to
be one of twin and there is no end
of complications. There was song
by Miss Luce which was given in
fine manner and the Osborn children
did another clever turn. The same
bill will be given at the matinee
Saturday afternoon.
Tonight the gerat society comedy
drama, "a Woman's Secret" will be
the bill. This performance is guar
anteed to be a pleaser especially for
the ladies as well as the gentlemen.
The story of the play is strong one
and full of interesting incidents and
good climaxes with plenty of COM
edy. See the Osborn children in
their new specialties. Seats on sale
at the Miners drug store. Remem-
Der the plays are changed nightly
and you ought to see them all, as
this company is one of the best that
has ever visited Tonopah.

CAVE.IN NEARLY
COSTS LIVES
IN MANHATTAN

News reached Tonopah yesterday
afternoon from Manhattan that a
cavern occurred in the shaft of the
Murphy and Wilson lease and that
two men narrowly escaped with
their lives. The men were working
near the entrance of drift from
the 70-foot level of the shaft when
a loud roar informed them that
something was wrong. They step
ped back just in time to escape be-
ing covered up by several tons of
earth. Workmen on the surface
heard the noise and were not long
realizing what occasioned the same.
The dirt was removed and the men
taken out, having suffered no i'll con-
sequences on account thereof.

REMAINS OF
BLAKE BORNE
To The DEPOT

All that was mortal of the late
Peter Francis Blake was escorted to
the depot yesterday morning, where
the remains were placed upon the
train to be taken to Virginia City,
where the last sad rites will be per-
formed over the body.
At the Eagles pavilion yesterday
morning, Rev. Father Butler of the
Catholic church performed the rites
of that faith, after which the i'm
pressive services of the Eagles was
read.
Following the services the body
was placed upon a hook and ladder
truck of the fire department and
drawn to the depot by squad of
firemen in uniform.
The Eagles drum corps, number
ing twenty-four pieces accompanied
the remains to the depot by squad
of firemen in uniform.
1t was the last tribute to be paid
to friend and brother and the
sight was a most impressive one.
Pete Blake was generally respected;
the sod that will cover him will al
ways be kept green by loving hands
the noble characters that are given
to this earth and which 1t seems are
cut down too early in the race of
life. But it is the will of One who
knows better than we frail beings
who occupy this tenement of clay
The final ceremonies over the re-
mains of the deceased will take
place in Virginia City. where the
young man taken from this earth in
the very blossom of manhood was
born and reared.
The Tonopah volunteer FIRE de-
partment drafted the following reso'
lutions which were sent by the de.
ceaseds brother, Johnny Blake, tC

''The passing of our dear com
rade from life unto death, crossing
