The sight each day of many

and big wagons loaded with lumber
and machinery for Manhattan and
Round Mountain, reminds the old
timers of the boom days in Tono-
pah when it's main street was
crowded with incoming and outgo-
ing freight teams. The southern
country has not seen it's lively times
as yet. We all thought we had, but
have not Mining is only in its

the surface. Five years from now
Southern Nevada's population will
have increased $4,000. The wealth
is here and capital is looking for it.
