Miners HAVE
A NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DYNAMITE
EXPLOSION RESULTS FROM AT
TEMPT TO THAW THIRTY
TWO STICKS OF POWDER

An explosion of dynamite occur
red a few days ago at Round Noun
tain which came near causing the
death of several persons. The news
Of the accident was brought to To-
nopah by Judge George It. Foley,
who is in from the hydraulic camp
on legal business.
Miners employed doing assess
ment work on the Townsite shaft
had placed 80 sticks of dynamite
close to a fire to thaw out. When
the noon hour approached, the men
went down the shaft to eat, as the
weather was quite cold on top.
They had hardly seated themselves
when a terrific explosion was heard.
Residents of the camp hurried to
the scene expecting to find nothing
but fragments of the men. Every
window within 100 yards of the
shaft was broken and the build
ings completely shaken up. A hole
of sufficient dimensions to answer
for the annual assessment work re-
suited from the accident.
L. Amundsen, driving one of the
Thomas flyers, passed the scene but
a few seconds before, and had hard
ly proceeded 10 feet from the spot
when the dynamite exploded. Had
he been opposite the powder, which
was but a few feet from the road,
it is probable that the paint on the
machine would have been scratched
The auto contained several passen-
gers.

PROSPERITY OF
NYE COUNTY SHOWN in
DELINQUENT LIST
the Growth Of Nye County
the Delinquent Tax List is Exceedingly
Small for the Past Year.

imately 500 names on the delin-
quency list. This year, notwith
standing the fact that many lots
were assessed in Glendale, Pioneer
and other places of a similar nature,
there are only 364 names on the de-
linquency list. This speaks louder
than words as showing the prosper
Gus condition of the county. In To-
nopah, especially, property owners
have guarded their interests by
paying their taxes promptly: Those
who own or control acreage
throughout the county have also
protected their holdings. Even in
the most barren and God-forsaken
parts of the county, where sand
dunes and sagebrush hold full sway,
and where heretofore one would be
considered daffy to even think OF
taking up land, taxes have been
promptly and even solicitously paid.

TION WILL ENTERTAIN ON
CHRISTMAS EVE

Tonight at the Miners Exchange
hall, the grand benefit ball, under
the auspices of the Tonopah Min

the interior of the hall will be
crowded by the merry couples who
are ardent devotees of the terpsi-
chorean art. The entrance to the
hall for gentlemen will be through
the office of the union, as the large
double doors will be locked. This
is done in order that the ladies will
not be compelled to wend their way
| through cloud of tobacco smoke,
as has been the custom. The best
of music has been secured and with
| every member of the union acting
as a floor committee, the evening
should prove most enjoyable one
Tickets can be secured from the
business houses or from the mem
bers of the organization. Dancing
will be conducted all night and UNI

Join in with the bunch and enjoy 9
merry Christmas eve.
The benefits derived from the af
fair will be turned over to the hos
pital fund, and with such worthy
object, every citizen in Tonopah cal
we'll afford to purchase ticket.

CHRISTMAS ship
BEARS GIFTS FOR
YOUNG PYYHIANS
LITTLE TOTS REMEMBERED
LAST NIGHT BY SAINT
NICHOLAS

The good ship "Pythian Sisters,
hailing from that unknown land to
the north, with Santa Claus at the
helm, hove too last night and an
chored at Argenta Temple No. II,
bearing all kinds of presents for the
young Pythians of Tonopah. An
elaborate program had been pre-
pared as fitting observation of the
white whiskered gentlemans arrival
and also for the entertainment of
the spectators who crowded the ca
pacity of the Pythian hall, over the
postoffice. The entertainers were
the little tots, who were exceedingly
pleasing with recitations, songs,
duets and musical numbers.
The ship was the handiwork of
Phil Recht and had all the appur-
tenances that go along in the make
up of a sea-going craft. There were
port holes, smoke stacks, rigging
and masts, and strung on the lat
ter were endless strings of popcorn
and other decorations. The pres
ents were hung on the different
parts of the craft, within easy reach
of Santa Claus, who made the dis
tribution with lavish hand. To
say that the little folks were well
pleased, would be mild description
of the affair, for it was early evil
dent that the youngsters were hav-
ing the time of their life.
Nor were the presents confined to
the younger set, for a number of
the grown-ups were remembered,
some with valuable presents, and
others with bags of popcorn, the
rendering of the latter providing an
unusual amount of amusement for
the children.
After all the gifts had been dis
tributed, the assemblage INDUCED
in lunch which had been provides
for by the committee in charge OF
the affair. Great credit is due the
ladies for their able management
and the success which resulted from
their exertions.

He's one of these constant conversers, the Judge
is more or less entertainin' and some ornamental,
and he stalks up and down the room like leadn
who's the spotlight is followin' him all the
time.
Mrs. Mosher is just the opposite kind. She's a
plain heavyweight old girl whose long suit seems to
be settn back in her chair with her hands folded

of these restfu motherly parties that you'd feel

Her evenin' costume is few laps behind the
fashion plates having been designed out in Michigan
nearly four years back when she gettin ready
to sail for South America; but somehow it didn't
look out of place on her.
Anyway, it was Mrs. Mosher that made the hit
with bunch instead of the Judge. And I'm in

and the calm, solid look about her, that wins

planned how to pay off the mortgage and not get the
butcher worried about his BILL and was kind of glad
things comm her way at last.
First off the Moshers plans had been to stop only
couple of days; but the Judge thinks it II take
fully week for him to shake the mental gloom he's
accumulated down the south side of the canal

And just then it happens that along comes Madam
Hennessy No. likely you don't know her; but take
it from me that when it comes to bein' an advance
fashion exhibit Marie Hennessy1l be there with the
goods twenty-four hours after the first models is
through the Custom House. And it don't make any

she's wearin' costume that would have length of

shoulder blades and changed to dark chestnut.

used to be forelady of hardressin' establishment
that Sadie patronized but she has swell joint
of her own on 34th-st and is her own walkin adver
tisement. Being forty odd and foxy they make
