TO YOUR r

1t is not often that this paper offers advice to the Journalists
of other communities, believing that the owners of papers else
where know what they are doing. However, the time is ripe for
calling the attention of the Goldhed press to matters which CON
Germ it and its future welare-matters which at this time are.
pertinent. The Setting Sun of this town has commanded the pa
pers Of the Esmeralda metropolis to desist from mentioning the
name Glendale unless the reference thereto is embazoned in let
tiers of gold.
To the Godfeld editors: Look out lest you arise some day
to find yourselves in a bowling wilderness. The Sun has COM
manded you to be still Still you had better be. Dost thou not
realize that the Sun is omnipotent and that the powers that be
rest with it? How dare you mention Glendale in your columns?
Do you not realize that the Sun is the photograph through which
his masters voice. gives to the world the stories of the wealth
that lies in the bosom of the hills of Glendale?
Have a care you scribblers. Remember you are preparing to
have a mining congress. Remember that the influence of the Sun
result With a wave of the hand all is changed. Now you see
it and now you don't. That's the position the Sun occupies in
Tonopah. Its magic wand hangs over you. With a wave you
shall vanish and all will be over. You'll cry for the rocks and
the mountains; you'll pray, but your prayers will be too late"
How can you. men of brains. be so indiscreet? Was it not from
the streets of Rome that the artisans were driven to their homes
because they dared to be out when Caesar CHANGED that way.
Were they not told to
Fly to their homes, fall upon their knees. pray to the gods
ITO intermit the plague that needs must fall n this ingratitude."
How ungrateful you have been. Heavy, heavy hangs over your
head. Be careful lest it drop.
What right have you to mention Glendale? The Sun must be
first, as usual
The utimatum has been issued. The Judge sits upon his
throne not to render unto Caesar those things which are Gaze
sars," but to the Sun those things which are Erendales.
What shall the answer be. What have you to say?

TINE is GROWING O

Two months from today the American Mining congress will be
formally opened in this city. That is a very short time. Sixty
days whirl by in but seemingly little longer time than sixty min
ues, and it behooves all the mining interests of the state to ex-
ert their utmost efforts to complete their work for the mining
congress as soon as possible. Exhibits should come rolling on
every train that arrives in Goldfeld. Every outgoing mail from
every section of the state should contain invitations to the CON
gress, and letters and newspaper articles about Nevada, about the
congress, about the mineral exhibit, and in a vein calculated to
at a glance.
The coming mining congress promises to be the greatest in
point of attendance, real interest, and importance in the history of
the organization. Not alone will there be the greatest mineral ex-
hibit ever gathered from one section of a country, and a long list
of notables of the political, financial and mining worlds, but there
promises to be some history making during the congress.
Action will be taken that must ultimately result in the mining
industry being given a recognized place in legislation and in the
cabinet of the president-aciod that will call to the attention of
the people thst next to the agriculture, mining is the greatest in
duSry in point of production and men employed, of the country;
ing is of IS much importance rs forest and water conservation
and the furtherance of agricultural and horticultural interests.
The entire west will be interested in the discussions of the
production and use of silver that will be made by men of inter
national repute in the realms of finance and trade-men who are
pioneers in the movement for a rehabiliment of silver that will
most assurediy gradually come, due in large extent to the awaken
ing of certain great parts of the world that are essentially silver
using countries.
Nevada must not lose sight of the importance of the mining
congress not alone to all parts of the state, but to the entire min
ing industry of America. There must be no cessation of work,
join enthusiastically in showing those who attend the congress that
Nevada is the greatest mineral belt in the world, offering iEmit-
able possibilities to the operator who has honesty, intelligence,
perseverance and ONE money.
There are but sixty days left in which to prepare. Get busy.

crosscut will be run from the 600

BEORGE BARTLETT
TALKS TO BONANZA
Congress will Attend Mining Con-
gress at GoldfeId.


Congressman George Bartlett was
Tuesday seen by representative
of the Bonanza and asked for an in
terview concerning national issues.
The paper man found Mr.. Bartlett
willing to give the people through
the columns of the Bonanza a brief
statement.
Mr., Bartlett, as stated elsewhere
in these columns, will leave this
morning for Reno, where he ex-
poets to establish a branch Office of
the firm of Bartlett. Thatcher and
Gibbons.
II will not return to Washington
until next December" said the con
gresham. Il have paired with a
Republican on the conference re-
port on the tariff bill and it will
not be necessary for me to return
to Washington until the first week
in December.
Mr.. Bartlett stated that it was his
purpose to give strenuous attention
to the enactment of one of the bills
creating a bureau of mines. There
are several bills already introduced
looking to the creation of that de-
partment of bureau. He is now
awaiting the action of the mines
and mining committee whenever it
shall be appointed.
1t will be remembered that a bill
creating a bureau of mines passed
the house of representatives the last
congress by the splendid majority of
21S to twenty-nine, which evidences
the strong ,eling in the lower
house Of co, ess favorable to this
legislation. but the senate killed the
bill last February. largely because
of the bitter opposition of Senator
Teller Of Colorado. Teller is now
out of the senate and it is believed
that such a law will now receive
more favorable consideration.
1t is Congressman Bartlett's in
~tention to discuss at the forthcom-
ing mining congress to be held in
tho city of Goldfeld the pending
mining legislation in congress. He
is enthusiastic over the mining con-
gress and expects it to be a great
benefit not only to Nevada but to
the entire country. He is very earn
est in his praise of the work that is
being done by those in charge OF
the congress as well as the papers
of the state which have been untir-
session CT the congress a complete
success.

WINGFIELD DECLARES HE'S
OUT OF THE STOCK MARKET

George Wingfeld, who came down
from Goldfeld to attend the Elks'
celebration, recently stated that he
is entirely III of the stock market,
and is paying close attention to the
strictly industrial side of mining,
consequently he had no comments
to make on the present low price
levels of the four Goldfeld leaders,
beyond the fact that they we're good
properties, and were moving along
protitably, regardless of the feelings
they inspired in the stock markets.

is concerned" said Mr.. Wingield,

OLD SPRT TELLS HOW
SAM DAVIS GOT AN AID

- saw by the Bonanza the other
day." said the old sport, where
Sam Davis was mentioned as one of
the humorists of this country, Well,
| quite agree that he is. l knew
Sam in the early days of the Com
stock and | have watched his record
ever since. Don't you know that
Sam is the most maligned character
in the state of Nevada. He will
never live to appreciate what the
people think of him. Like a great
many others it will take death to
bring his name into the prominence
that 1t SO richly deserves. Why, it
is a fact that the Nevada university
would be today without its school
of mines were it not for the serv-
ices OF this self-same Sam Davis. /
am in a position to know just how
he managed the proposition. It
makes me laugh when / read of
others assuming the credit therefor.
Sam was on his way east when he
met Clarence Mackay. He told him
that he was duty bound to do some
thing for the state of Nevada, the
state in which his father carved his
career. Mackay was impressed,
with the result that he at once set
to work to perpetuate the name of
Mackay in Nevada.
That's the truth, boys. Say what
you will, Sam Davis has done as
much for Nevada as any man that
ever lived in it.
But didn't intend to linger at
such length concerning what Sam
has done for Nevada. | wanted 10
tell o a story concerning him. He
was running the Appeal in Carsoi
City. He was one of those fellows,
who would publish the news IRE
spective of whom it concerned. In
this way he incurred the enmity uf
many people, including some of the
business men.
He was in the habit of ridiW:
about in a tumble down affair of a
buggy. One day as he was driving
down the Main street of Carson lie
was hailed by a merchant by the
name of George Meyers. Said he 10
Sam, It's a wonder that you would
not get a decent buggy; I have just
received an invoice of Studebaker's
which are the best that have ev,r
been received in Carson.

ARROGANT CHILDREN.

1t is not an uncommon sight nowadays for those who are out for
an evening stroll to observe a group of small boys congregated in
an open spot and each and everyone tto be smoking a cigarette.
This practice seems to be growing in Tonopah and parents max
ing no effort to put a stop to it,
The youngsters are getting ood in the habit as was demon
strated last evening about s o'clock when some six or seven par
AIDED Brougher avenue, each putting a cigarette, and making an
earnest endeavor to SHOW on The sight was disgusting to the
extreme and brought forth many comments, not only on the boys
but on their parents, who would allow such a thing. Probably
1t is ignorance on the part OF the parents and they are not aware
of the action of their children, but if a search was made of the
Youngsters clothes it is safe to say that the majority of the peck
cts will contribute evidence Of containing or having contained
the makings" Should this prove true a short session in the
woodshed would go a long ways in breaking up the habit.

WHY THE SILENCE?

Some months ago, the exact date OF which we have forgotten,
the Nye county grand jury started an investigation of the affairs
OF the defunct Nye and ormsby County bank The committee
named by the inqusitiorial body examined the books of the bank
and after completing its labors babe adeu to the institution and
returned to the grand jury rooms. And there the tale ends.
The result OF their researches remains a mystery for no report
has yet been made, although the body has had more than suf-
hcient time to do SO. Rumors Of many kinds concerning the COM
mitees discoveries have been foated around and in spite of this
the grand jury remains al silent as the proverbiaI clam. evident
ly following the theory that their proceedings should be notable
for its silence and to give the public no consideration. although
they are employed as servants Of the public and are supposed to
be working for the interest and welfare Of the county.

Painful Experience With Fireworks.


Mr.. John Il. Lemen, one of the
most prominent residents Of this sec
sion, met with a very painful accident
at his home near Scrabble last Thurs
day night. Mr.. Lemen had arranged
for a display Of fireworks to celebrate
New Years eve, and considerable
number of friends and neighbors had
gathered TO enjoy the fun. Among
the fireworks were some giant fire.
crackt rs, aud Mr.. Lemen had set of
several of these, when he evidently
got hold of faulty one, for as soon
as the fuse was lighted it exploded
Mr.. Lemons right hand, in which he
was holding the frecracker, was shat.
tered. The palm of the hand was
badly lacerated, one finger was denud-
ed Of the flesh and the end of another
blown off, and the flesh at the base of
the thumb split asunder. The injury
was fearful one, and blood from the
torn arteries gushed out in steady
s'ream. 1t is thought he might have
bled to death before a physician
could be summoned, had it not been
that Mrs Feeser, trained nurse
from Washington, was fortunately
among the visitors. She quickly and
skillfully improvised tourniquet
about Mr.. Lemen's wrist and plac d
comp, esses upon the several arteries,
and by the time DR.. Oliver, Of Swan
Pond, arrived first aid had been sue
cessfully administered. DR.. Oliver
dressed the wounds and sewed the
torn flesh into shape, and though Mr..
Lemen has since suffered greatly from
the decorations, it is now hoped that
no serious result will ensue. His
many friends greatly regretted to hear
of the accident, and sincerely wish-ior
bis early recovery.
Gerard D. Moore, cashier of The
National Citizens Bank of Charles
Town and well-Bnown citizen of this
county, was also victim of the un-
certain irecracker on Christmas day.
BE was shooting off 6recrackers for
the amusement of his children, and
noticed that one failed to explode.
BE picked it up to examine it when
t suddenly went of right in his face.
BE was struck in his eye. and the in
Jury was go serious that it is feared
that he may lose the sight of the eye.
His brother, DR. q. R. Moore, the oc ..
ulist, came up from Washington at
once and has been giving him the
closest attention. We sincerely hope
that Mr.. Moore may not be perma-
nsntly injured.
