THIRTY MEN
NOW EMPLOYED AT
CEDAR CORRALS
WILL SINK SHAFT TO 100 FOOT
LEVEL IN NEXT THREE
WEEKS

Charles Coble, of the Nye Coun-
ty Mercantile company, who is in
terested in the Cedar Corrals dis
trict, returned to Tonopah last even
ing after spending the day inspect
ing the claims that he owns. also
the property that is being operated
by George Wingfield.
The camp is growing daily, ac-
cording to Mr.. Coble, and yester-
day twenty additional miners ar
rived. bringing the total working
force on Wingfield's holdings up to
thirty. Wingfield secured six
months bond, and a payment will
be made three weeks from today.
1t is the intention to develop the
ground Immediately, and by the
time the payment is due, it should
be known whether the ledge is a
blanket one or otherwise. The for
mer owners of the property dug six
open trenches in a space about
eighty feet in length and now a
shaft is being sunk in one of the
cuts. The ore exposed is of high
grade character, SO valuable that no
blasting has been done. About
three tons have been sacked.
The work from now on will be
sc
the shaft down to the 100-foot
level within the next three weeks.
Three shifts have been placed at
work. The property controlled by
Wingfield at the present time con-
sists of five claims. A townsite is
being surveyed, but contrary to- the
general run of townsites in the
south, the lots are not placed on
sale. Each man in the district is
allotted one lot and all he has to
do is to set up stake bearing his
name, on the lot desired. This ar
rangement has met with universal
favor by the miners in the territory.
There are no saloons in the dis
trict on account of it being on the
Mfst reserve.
" Mr. Coble, who is associated with
w. M. Ashburn, H. M. Martin and
w. 0. H. Martin, own several claims
adjoining the ones on which the
big strike was made. A force of
men are now at work trenching.

WINNIPEG, Man, Oct. 10-The
terrible results of the forest fire OF
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, are
beginning to be realized by the dis
heartened and homeless thousands.
1t is possible that the death list
will reach 1000. No one familiar
with the situation places the figures
at less than 200, and every settler
in the district bounded by Rainy
river and Lake of Wooda to the
north and to within 25 miles south
to Fort Frances, Ont, from Spoon
er and Beoudette, Mimi, on the east
to Warroad, Mimi, on the west
who is not accounted for is certain
ly dead, as there was no escape.
Beaudette is only a charred rem
nant, where rs bodies have been
recovered and many more are in
the ruins. Spooner is wiped out.
Cedar Spur, Gracetown, Pitt, Swift
and Roosevelt are among the ham,
lets destroyed.
The fire is burning today along
the Canadian Pacific eight miles
from Winnepeg, making the city in
tensely hot. Seven miles further
east the people of Loretto fled for
their lives.

AGED MlNGR
GOES OFF ON A
LONG TRAMP
COMPLETES WALK FROM TONO-
PAH TO SAN BERNARDINO,
CALIFORNIA

The following is taken from the
San Bernardino Sun of October s:
Wallace Avery, 95 years old,
completed big hike across desert
and mountains yesterday, having
walked all the way from Tonopah
to San Bernardino, and getting in
town shortly after 2 o'clock ex-
pressed himself as not whit
weary, and to prove his assertion
the young old man" instead Of
taking room here to rest bought
ticket over the Salt Lake for
Long Beach, and said he would only
retire after 10 o'clock.
For strength Avery has most of
the younger men beaten, for he not
only made from 25 to 80 miles a
day, but on the last day walked
all the way from Bear Valley to
Redlands with hardly a pause, only
stopping four times on the way to
rest and eat bite of cold bacon
and potato. On the trip from Bear
Valley he left Thursday night, and
kept jogging along all through the
night.
Avery had been in the Tonopah
country on a mining deal. He is
man with an income but ran
short of funds and wanting to look
at several desert mining prospects
he struck across Inyo county, and
with the freedom born of the great
west. desert and mountains were
crossed with daring that would
have done credit to men a genera
tion younger.
Avery is the man who gained
wide publicity some years ago by
coming out strong in, opposition to
certain government experts who had
made a thorough investigation of
Imperial valley and then sprang the
report that the alkali underlying
the valley would destroy any crop
planted, and that as an agricultural
section the valley was not to be
considered. :.
The expert is made of theories"
said Avery, "but theories won't run
a farm. Theories have been the
destruction of many a good fellow"
said Avery, referring to that incl
dent. Despite his years Avery is
strong and hearty. and could read
lily pass for much younger man.

RAINY RIVER, Ont, Oct @
While wind is sweeping a fire east
ward on the south side of Rainy
river, the great body of flames
passed this section, revealing a ca
lamity that reaches the proportion
of an international disaster. Sixty
corpses have been found in the path
of the flames, and a vast area is
yet to be searched.
With the exception of the de-
struction of the mills and stock of
the Rat Portage Lumber company
at Rainy River, the principal loss
is confined to the south side of the
river and chiefly sustained along
the American border.
Railroad and wire communica-
tions are cut off by a burned dis
trict exceeding 40 miles from War
road, Mimi, on the Canadian Nor
thern. Through this district the
last trains passed last night. The
road is open to the south and east,
however, and relief is being afford
ed from Fort William.
The fires have been smouldering
in that district for months and we'
started anew by the terrific wind
that began two days ago. The
wind increased in velocity until it
bore wave of fame 100 feet high
and half a mile wide. Many set
tiers took to the railroad track and
most of these were burned to a
crisp as the fire leaped this bar
rier of some 800 yards along the
clearings.
Several trains have been run in
suffocating smoke and over burn
ing bridges, regardless of danger to
the crews. Among the most dra-
matte incidents was the escape of
1000 fugitives in a long string of
box cars. The throng of men. wom-
en- and children awaited the arrival

HARD FOUGHT
CASE HEARD IN
POLICE COURT
PLAINTIFF In CIVIL ACTION
SECURES JUDGMENT FOR
DOLLAR AND HALF

A rather interesting and unusual
case was tried in the justice court
Saturday before Judge H. H. At
kinson. In fact there were two
cases in one, and each was hard
fought. The initial action was
filed by Sadie Pechinino versus w.
P. Ackerman and was to recover
the price of four meals at SO cents
per. Two of the meals consisted
OF potato pancakes and In the evil
dence introduced it was brought out
that potato pancakes were quite
luxury in that the potatoes had to
be ground up fine and two eggs
added. The other two meals con-
sisted of chicken. Then there was
an additional charge Of SIS for cook
ing pot Of beans.
Ackerman filed a counter claim
of IS for the use of a pick, shovel
and saw, and also asked for three
months rental at So per month for
the use of an clubhouse.
Both sides had an array of wit
nesses to prove their respective
claims and when the case was fin
ally submitted to the jury for de-
cision, a verdict was returned for
the plaintiff. This morning the
court pronounced the judgment,
which was for Mrs. Pechinino. 1t is
not known whether the action will
be appealed to the district court.

Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1910-10-10


hundred men, nearly all Americans,
are reported walled up in the Colo
rado Fuel and Iron company's
mines at Starkville, seven miles
south of here, by an explosion re-
ported to have occurred at 1880
tonight. The explosion, according
to first reports, was caused by ac-
emulation of gas.
Immediately upon receipt of the
first report special train was pre-
pared here, carrying doctors, nurses
and volunteer parties, and .newspa-
per men.
The workings are enormous and
are reported to connect with the
Engleville mine and probably 9TH
ers. Unless these connections are
blocked by debris from the expIo-
sion or through disuse, it is thought
the men have an excellent chance
for life.
The mine is widely known be-
cause of the few foreigners en-
ployed in it and for this reason the
scenes of unreasoning grief and
fright were not so noticeable as
usual. A big crowd gathered i'm
mediately following the explosion
and is reported to be steadily grow
ing larger. Several officials have
gone from here to the scene of the
explosion.
