BILLINGS, Mont, Oct. 26-That
a fight is to be made to change the
name of the dry farming congress,
became APPARENT at the first session
of the fourth annual meeting, which
convened here today. Suggestions
for a suitable substitute for the
word dry" were forthcoming but
none were suitable to all the dele
gates. Some want it to be "scieE-
tific," while other favor the term
practical"
The first of the session was taken
up with the addresses of welcome,
the most important of which was
made by Governor Norris. James
J. Hill, chairman of the board of
directors of the Great Northern rail-
way, was the central figure of the
morning session. He made talk
calculated to aid the dry farming
movement, and incidentally sounded
few words of warning to the
farmers of Montana about being
friendly to the railroads, and in re-

ing the policy of the Tonopah
United Water company, and replied
that it was the aim of the company
to charge just rates.
We do not and have not held up
the people in furnishing water
The impression has been circulated
that we are exorbitant in our
charges, but if an investigation was
made of the affairs of the company,
this idea would be reversed
The water plant was constructed
about five years ago. AS | have
stated before, the present day ca
pacity of the plant will average
100000 gallons per day OF this
amount, but 100000 gallons is used
and the balance is absolutely re-
served and available for future de-
velopment.
"One of our first acts, on taking
charge of-the company, was to sub
nit sliding scale to the people
here. This was accepted as just
charge. We promised that when
the consumption increased the rates
would be decreased and this prom
Use still holds good. When it -
shown us that material increase
will be gained, | can assure the
people of Tonopah that the water
rates will be lowered
1T has always been my contel-
ton, and | believe that the BUS
mess men of Tonopah will bear me
out, that anyone who invests money
in mining camp, is entitled to
legitimate profit. | do not ask for
an enormous profit, but do insist
that ample returns be made on the
capital spent. For the four years
that the company has been in op-
Grafton but per cent has been dis
tributed in dividends, the checks
for this amount having been mailed
the stockholders in August.
Unforeseen difficulties have been
encountered which have necessitat4
ed the expenditure of large sums,
and the latest of these, the replac-
ing of the two miles of pipe line,
will total sum greatly in excess
of the original estimate. The de-
struction of the pipe being replaced
was caused by the soil, and peculiar
to this locality.
Il wish you would assure the
people of Tonopah that the water
company is not grasping monop-
oily, but simply asks for fair profits
on the money invested"
Some time during this week Mr..
Wheeler will take a trip over the
new pipe line, which is now being
rapidly completed, and he will be
accompanied by number of the
Tonopah business men.

For the past several days appear
ances have indicated that there WAS
something in the wind, for many
conferences have been held by a
nhmber of prominent mining men.
Yesterday the true situation was re-
vealed to a representative of the
Bonanza by Colonel e. G.. Wheeler,
and If his plans mature, it will be
the means Of adding greatly to the
welfare of this camp.
Il have conferred with quite a
number of mining men," said Mr..
Wheeler, ''and all are of the opinion
that the institution of The new mill
ing plant in Tonopah would be the
means of saving, or regaining, no
small sum by the treating of low
grade ores Before leaving the east
| held a number of conferences with
men of large means and all were
ready to advance financial aid for
the project, which promises such
large returns. And / will state he.e
that these gentlemen and myself
have the utmost faith in the future
of TOnopah. In the east we have
invested our money here and are
willing to make further investments
THE proposition we have been
discussing will call for numerous
examinations of mines in the To-
nopah district, and also of the var
ious mine dumps. There are sew
eral of the latter, on which ore was
placed during the early days of th4
camp, which will prove of a good
milling grade, if handled by the
most modern and scientific pro-
cesses.
''The main factor in the milling
industry of southern Nevada, and
particularly in Tonopah, of the pres
'ent day, is the water supply. In
the operation of the contemplated
mill, this would not prove to be of
such importance, for the capacity of
the water company plant is fully
adequate to the supply which would
be required.
I'VE have a capacity of 100000
gallons daily, while the consumo-
tion now reaches only 100000 gal
Ions daily. The use will be in-
creased with the starting of opera
tions of the Extension mill, but It
will in no way prove a bar to the
building of additional mills.
There are number of excel
lent mining companies in Tonopah
that have their ores treated by GUS
tom mills. The construction of Il
mill by us would do away with this
and the mine operators would save
handsome sum by not having to
pay transportation charges.
