that time neither citizens nor postmaster
has had cause to regret that he became
such.
AS a citizen Mr.. Otto's record is unim-

ranks and became conspicuous in the Phil

compliment Mr.. Otto, who, having won his

further commentator.

CAVE-IN NEARLY
COSTS SOME LIVES
AT MANHATTAN

News reached Tonopah yesterday
afternoon from Manhattan that a
cave-in 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 a drift from
the 70-foot level of the shaft when
a loud oar informed them that
something was wrong. They step
ped back just in time to escape be-
ing covered up by several IONS 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.

THE COMSTOCK CELEBRATION.

A Nevada mining camp has just celebrated the fftieth ami
versary of its discovery. The celebration was held at a time that
ushes in the dawntng of a new era which promises to lead to
discoveries fully as important as those which made the name of
he camp a worldwide byword.
The Comstock has been exceptional in point of production, in
Its contribution to mining science; in the fame of it's sons and
daughters; in the literary and scientific world, and in the true
manhood OF those who have stayed there all these years. firm in
the belief that better days were still to come. And in the mean
time It was subjected to the vlest travail by the fake promoters
who have jumped UP every decade. But the fact remains that the
old camp still exists while most of its traducers IRE forgotten.
This old camp on the mountain side played an important part
In the history of the country and contributed largely to many ma
uonal enterprises. Though it may well hold its head high with
pride. it still goes along unassumingly, adding its share to the
wealth of the world. And among all the pioneers who paruci-
pated in the celebration there was not one who did not express the
wish that every latter-day mining camp would rival the old lode in
production and glory. 1t was the spirit that made the Comstock
and Nevada. 1t is the same spirit that will drive this state ahead
to unsurpassed productiveness.
A grizzled veteran of many rushes, as he gazed at the lights and
crowds in the old town, remarked that the celebration was but the
first of the similar events that will surely follow in rapid succession
in the years to come. All Nevada joins with the pioneer in his
prediction. Who among us does not hope to live to see Tonopah
and Goldfeld and numerous other camps celebrate their golden
jubiees And the old Comstock, being the first to have the ex-
perience, will be at that distant date in the forefront to assist in
the celebratons.-Carson News.

HAVE SECURED
GOOD LEASE IN
GOOD DISTRICT

News has reached Tonopah that
stimler and Marsh have given a
lease on their property in Georges
canyon, which has been but recently
the scene of quite a rush. The men
20 secure the lease are DR.. Smith,
formerly a practicing physician OF
this city and the Fancher brothers,
who are ranching as well as mining
II that locality.
The lease is on the original dis
eoyery in the district, where a large
ledge carries a four-ineh of
ore running well up as well as good
milling values.
Recently one of the Fanchers dis
covered placer gold in the gulch be-
low the big vein and 1t is proposed
to devote considerable attention to
the placer.
