ideal CANDIDATE
FOR STATE SENATOR

ty are exceedingly fortunate liz having
as a candidate for State Senator one
of the best Informed and most pro-
gressive and active citizens of Ne
vada.
The nominee is s. X. Bradford. He
is essentially fair, square business
man with special adaptation to the
great mining interests of Nevada and
not a politician in the narrow sense OF
the word He is not versed in the
game of political trickery but plain,
ordinary citizen with splendid, enter
prising qualities that have done much
for development of Nevada's great
natural resources, and in bringing the
mining world IS attention to these re-
sources.
As a mining engineer he is at the
head of that profession in this state.
His very strong ability in this respect
attracted him to Nevada years ago and
ever since his residence he has been,
through mining journalistic press and
in contact with fnanci RS, an ardent
advocate of the great resources of Ne
vada, and has done as much as any sin
gle individual in the state to develop
these resources and attract capital
to aid in the upbuilding of Nevada
and bring the state to the proud posi-
tion it occupies today as the greatest
gold and copper producer of the west
ern continent.
In field work along the Nevada
mountains and desert plains, there is
none that has had the experience and
practice that S. K. Bradford has had.
He is thoroughly eonversant with the
geology of this state. AS mineralo-
gist he has no superior. On the recla-
nation of the arid areas of Nevada
and making them fruitful and of bene
fit to mankind he has practical knowl
edge and ideas that are of incalculable
benefit to the citizenship and progress
of the state. He understands how to
direct to make these barren fertile
fields of Nevada responsive to the
magic touch of man and make grain,
fruits, cerials and vegetables grow
where none grow now and thus cause
a material development of the state
that will enlarge our population with
staid, sturdy class of permanent citi-
zenship.
On the mining side he has been par
ticularly active in bringing to the
foremost the mineral features OF Esme-a
ralda, Nye AMI Humboldt counties.
What is now the great Belmont mine
in Tonopah is one of his creations, or,
rather, the result of his foresight as
to the real ore deposits of Tonopah at
depth. 1t was his geologic insight that
portrayed the large staple body of ore
that makes the Belmont today one of
the very great mining properties of
Il ycf or
is the result of his energy and engi-
neering. As consulting engineer of the
great Asurite and Malaeite properties
at Atwood and Wagner he will in time
be credited with having another Ely
on Nevada territory VITA its millions
of production ip copper, gold and sill
yer and an army of well-paid men at
work producing these necessary materi-
ais for the arts and commerce.
National owes much to the fore
sight geologic and engineering sagac-
ity of S. X. Bradford. 1t is owing in
a large measure to his examination and
reasoning as to Charleston Hill that
the frsa leasers went to work on that
bonanza mountain and brought into
relief the richest and most remarkable
gold silver camp of recent times. his
intuition and knowledge as a practical
field man caused him and his partner,
J. f. Kendall to do the first work on
Charleston Hill and uncover the first
high grade, which since that time has
led on and produced such fortunes as
that of the National mine and which
promises to make the National mining
camp the greatest gold and silver pro-
Queer of modern times.
AS an employer, Bradford has ever
been fair, firm supporter of union
rules, regulations and wages. As an
employee and a wage Garner he has
been mindful of his just obligations.
For the reason that those who know
him know him to be a square and able
man, all his acquaintanees urge his
election.
BY education, practice and interest
and a broad understanding as to the
various needs of Nevada to make it
foremost in the sisterhood o. states,
he is fully able to make an intelli-
gent, honorable, useful representative
of the people of humboldt county in
the Nevada senate. The people by
electing S. K Bradford will have a
senator who will work for the best in
terest of all the people and will prac.
tee no political tricks to gain favor
for any special interests, but on the
contrary will oppose all special inter
ests.
He is broal, courageous, intelli-
gent citizen, and the welfare of Ne
vada and Humboldt county urges the
election of S. X. Bradford.
