Stating 1t Belongs to Coke of Lincoln
County.

According to reports from Carson
City, bill was passed by the as

druggists to pay a license of 5000
in order to dispense alcohol. This

taxes. In Goldfield last night the
druggists held an Indignation meet
ing in which it was maintained
that 5000 would cover all of the al
cohol sold in that camp during
the course of year. Tonopah
druggists are equally riled over
this action and have entered a
most vigorous protest to the mem
bers of the senate.
1t is maintained by the local drug
dealers that the advance in the
tax will necessitate the raising OF
the price of alcohol at least three
times, thus throwing upon the con-

EFFORT TO WRECK
THE BARRACKS.

attempt was made last night to
blow up the barracks at Juarez,

of a small band of insurrectos who
had secretly entered the town, were
captured. A number of Mexican
cavalrymen are reported to have
been injured.
The shock of the explosion was
felt throughout Juarez and i'm
mediately cries were raised that
the insurrectos had surrounded the
place III great numbers and We're
attacking. Merchants left theii
stores and crowds prepared to make
general exodus to the American
side.
Extra guards were placed abou
| the quarters of Colonel Navarro
The barracks are located in thu
heart of the town. There is
general feeling that the insurrecto
are surrounding the city.

OF TWO CITIES
At The BUTLER
BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF FRENCH
REVOLUTION TO BE SEEN
FOR FIRST TIME.

One of the biggest feature pic
lures ever thrown across a screen
will be exhibited at the Butler the
alter tonight, the first time it has
ever been seen in Tonopah. Charles
Dickens "Tale of Two Cities" that
most beautiful and correct word
picture of the French revolution.
which shows all of the horrors of
the Reign of Terror" and at the
same time carries an undercurrent
of pathos and shows an undying
love which ends on the scaffold as
matter of duty, should prove an
attraction to every man, woman
and child.
Dickens Tale of Two Cities"
has been made immortal in its
dramatized form by that sterling
actor, Henry Miller, in THE Only
Way" Anyone who has seen Mr.
Miller portray the character of Sid
ney Carton, or, in fact, anyone
who has read the novel and become
acquainted with that and the many
other beautiful characters. must,
feel that they can i'll afford to miss
the Butler this night.
Dry eyes are out of the ques-
tion when Carton shows his most
disinterested love for the wife of
another and takes that others
place on the cart which leads but
to the guillotine.
THE Tale of Two Cities" comes
in three rolls of 1000 feet each
1t is a Vitagraph production and
the photography is up to the Vita
graph standard-th best 1t is
hard to give a complete synopsis
of this beautiful story, but anyone
that has read the story can appre-
ciate the task of the Vitagraph COM
!pany producing it on the screen,
and they do 1t making it clear and
easy for one to understand it thor
oughly. The vaudeville for to-
night will be entirely different from
what has been shown in Tonopah,
Harding and Wasson appearing in a
good sketch, introducing some very
clever songs and sayings. The price
of admission will be but 10 cents.

Manager Malone

Manager Malone of the Tonopah
Drug company was In great haste
to advise the Bonanza this morning
of the fearful action on the part
of Assemblyman Piercy. in intro
ducing the bill referred to above,
of which he was reputed to be the
father. Manager Malone was most
anxious that Mr.. Piercy be burned
up for his shameful conduct. La
ter in the day, however, Mr.. Malone
learned that Mr.. Piercy was not
the father of the measure, being
shown the telegram from the assem-
blyInan to his brother-but he neg
leGtCd to advise the Bonanza Of hav-
ing learned that there was r mis-
take. Evidently the gentleman ex-
pected that the Bonanza would
print a liberous, or at least all
erroneous article, and being slightly
peeved at the Bonanza, figured he
would let it ride.
Mr.. Malone, who stopped his sub
seription to the Bonanza a week
or ten days ago, on account of the
editorial attitude of this paper in
reference to the prices charged in
Tonopah for drugs, evidently figured
that he could still further get
even" by allowing the article to go
to print. Well, Mr.. Malone, we
beat you to it, and you will notice
that, Notwithstanding the fact that
you quit reading our paper and
I Threatened to advertise in a Gold
field paper, we are still doing bust.

might be well to call your atten.
ton to the fact that there are
foreign drug stores that would like
to get toe-hold IN Tonopah anC
who are more than willing to ad
vertise here. Heretofore it has beer
the policy of the Bonanza to pas
| up all this class of advertising, bu
as the pay roll must be met eael
week It will in future be the polio,
of the Bonanza to accept advertis
ing from any and all outside
druggists.

single dividend since April 10, 1909,
and then only cents, notwith-
standing the fact that it owns a
large piece of property in Tonopah,
from which good rentals are coll

City, said to be good money
maker, and that it recently sold
to the Elks a piece OF property for
$4,000 which is said to have previ-
ously rented for 5000 a month, and
recently disposed of block of Big
Four stock for $4,000.
This money, according to all re
ports, has been dissipated in the
payment of: Receiver, $4,000 a
year; receivers assistant (one)
$500 year, and one $500 a year,
besides many thousands of dollars
to attorneys located in Reno. This
income, or whatever is now left of

positors.

popular that has been touched upon
