Lennon REPLIES
TO EDITOR MIX

Owing to the following letter not
having been published by the Blair
Press, in justice to the Pittsburg
Silver Peak Gold Mining company,
R. A. Lennon requests that the same
be published in the Tonopah b.
nanza:
Blair, Nevada, June 80, 1909.
MIR. N. H. Mix, editor Blair Press,
Blair, Nevada.
Dear Sir:-In justice to all con-
cerned, | wish to make the following
statement relative to the article APP
pearing in your paper of June 25th
under the heading voorhees, Talks
of Bullion Tax Suits and Indict-
ments." The portion of this article
that | wish to particularly call to
your attention is as follows:
AS to former Manager Bradley,
we have reason to doubt the Voor-
bees statement that that gentleman
signed the statements. We know
1
that he did not sign the statement
for the last quarter of 1908, and in
a discussion of the matter with the
writer, he intimated that he would
not do SO at any time subsequent
thereto. This matter was brought
fto our attention by a gentleman now
resident in Blair, who saw the state
ment and says it was signed only
by f. l.. Voorhees,, which statement
was later corroberated by an attache
fthe tax collectors office
Il wish to state that your infor-
nation in this case is in error and
that interview as given by Mr.. Voor-
hees to the Tonopah Bonanza is alb
solutely correct. l happen to be the
notary public before whom all bull

GODDESS OF
LIBERTY is
THANKFUL

Miss Blanche Robb, the young
lady who made such a charming
goddess of liberty on the fifth,
wishes to extend many thanks to the
committees for courtesies extended
to herself and her maids of honor.
There was nothing left undone to
bestow upon Miss Robb and her
maids every attention commensurate
with her position.
Mention should be made here of
Miss Frances Gilbert, the fire queen.
She presented a charming picture
and carried herself admirably. She
presented one of the many pleasing
pictures that the parade afforded.

All in all, the celebration was
actually the very best that was
ever witnessed in these parts. The
strangers voted the Tonopah people
the best of entertainers and left with
the feeling that when this city is to
have another celebration they will
be here to help the local people cele-
brate.

Herman Kolb had miraculous es-
cape from an awful death in Humboldt
county when the traction engine he was
running dropped thru a bridge. The
crew had been threshing at the Ernest
kerchoff farm and had just started
to move to the next job when the ac-
cident happened. August Will, who
was driving the team attached to the
separator and the other members of
the party witnessing the accident
rushed forward Immediately. suppos-
ing Kplb had been crushed to death
when the engine dropped thru the
bridge, and if not crushed to death
would surely be severely scalded as
some of the steam pipes had been
broken in the falling of the engine.
Great was their surprise to find their
}companion had practically escaped un-
harmed altho he was wedged between
the bridge and the engine and it was
necessary to cut away some of the
timbers before he could be released
The engine was badly damaged and it
will require fully week before the
same can be raised and the necessary
REPAIRS made.
