MARATHON RACE
"EPIDEMIC" HAS
STRUCK TONOPAH

The Marathon race craze which IS
spreading over the country has at
last reached Tonopah and in the
near future the Bonanza will pull OF
one of these endurance contests, The
exact date, while not definitely
know, will probably be on Sunda.
February IA, and the course will be
two round trips from Tonopah to
Gold Reef, a distance of twenty-eigh-
miles. When the announcement was
made yesterday, a number of old
time foot racers Immediately signi-
fed their intention of compelling
for the valuable cup which will be
rendered the winner.
Grant Crumley was the first who
entered his name and who will be
distinguished in this great contest
by mo. IT, which he will wear on
his back. Grant used to be the
champion footracer in Kansas and
many a time during the summer
months would run thirty miles to the
nearest town before breakfast to
purchase package of buckwheat, SO
that the family could have hot cakes
for the morning meal. While some
what out of form Grant is confident
he can get into perfect condition by
the time the great morning rolls
around. He is also willing to make
wager that he will not be the last
one to cross the tape.

been on the cinder path and among

WILL sTARTLE WORLD,


The last ten which have
marked the real and general devel-
opment of the mining industry in
Nevada-have made of the state a
lode mining territory with but few
exceptions The prospector and the
investor has not been looking for
placer mines, with the consequence
that there is much rich placer terri
tory which has never been examined.
True, the lack of water has had
much to do with this, but let the
general demand arise and designers
of mining machinery will devise
washing machines using very little
if any water, which will amply suf-
] flee for all needs. At Manhattan,
Round Mountain, Chafey, Humboldt
House, at Goldfeld and Rawhide
placers are now attracting great at.
tention, and will add enormously tC
the precious metal output of these
camps.

he would face starvation, he started
with the bunch. One by one the
racers passed Bob and when the six
mile mark was reached he was
away in the rear. And then he
started to sprint and passed the
leader only three feet from the tape.
The crowd went wild and placing
him on their shoulders paraded him
around town. From that day on he
was the hero Of the state and his adj
mirers secured him a position in a
livery stable. Bob's entrance is No.
2.
All parties desiring to participate
in this contest should send in their
names to the Marathon Race Edi-
tor" Daily Bonanza. The entries
will close on the night before the
great start. A physicians certificate
will also have to be presented, show
ing the party to be in the best physi
cal condition.
The names of additional contest
ants will be published in the column
of the Bonanza as they are entered
The handsome cup to be presente'
will be placed on exhibition in tn
window of this Office in few days
1t is now in the hands of the en-
graver and will be work of art an
a prize worth striving for.

OPENS A 5-FooT LEDGE.

At the 350-foot level in the

who is operating the Thanksgiving
under a lease, to start sinking 200
feet deeper at once. Mr.. Ross will
arrive in Manhattan this week to
inspect the work at the mine.
