TREAS. MANNIX
RECEIVES SAD news
/. OF FATHERS Death

Frank p. ManniX, county treas
urer, this morning received tele-
graphic word that his father, Ed
ward j. ManniX, died suddenly at
Malone, n. Y. Deceased was 79
years old. The exact cause of his
death is not known, the me-
simply saying that the old gentle
man had died suddenly at the
depot. The presumption is that the
elderly gentleman died frcm heart
trouble. Early in August Mr.. Man
nix spent a couple of weeks with
his parent, who at that time was
hale and hearty, though aged. The
Bonanza speaks for the community

The annual meeting of stcckhold-

Telegraph company was held Satur-
day at the company's office in Tono-
pah. The report of General Man
ager f. G.. Waterhouse was read
and approved and showed the COM
pany business fer the past twelve
months profitable one and the
present outlook very encouraging
for a prosperous one this year. Tn
der the efficient management of Nj
Waterhouse the stockholders of the
company may well feel satisfied,
and while there have been no divi-
dends in the past, owing to the fact
that it required several hundred
thousands of dollars to construct
and equip their lines, everything
is now favorable in the near future
fer a dividend to the stockholders.
Only few thousand dollars of
Indebtedness is upon the company
books and this will soon be wiped
off.
/ There was movement started a
month ago by two disgruntled stock
| holders to discredit and malign the
management of Mr.. Waterhouse, but
their hatched up crouch only act.
ed as a boomerang to them, and at
Saturdays meeting the two dissat

IMPEACHMENT is REMEDY
SAYS PRESIDENT TAFT

ST. LOUIS, Sept 25.- During a
moderately busy day here Saturday
President Taft made six speeches,
took forty-mile automobile ride,
opened the local football season by
tossing the pigskin onto the gridiron
at st Louis university, laid the cor
nerstone of new Y. Nj. c. A.
building, sat through nine innings
of exciting baseball between the
St. Louis and Philadelphia National
league teams, visited the Masonic
club to be made a life member of
that organization and, after address
ing a vast throng in the coliseum,
had nothing to do but travel all
night in order to be in the insur-
gent state of Kansas today.
On the evening of entering this
reputed hostile territory, President
Taft put forward the suggestion of
wider power of impeachment as a
substitute for the more radical pro-
proposal of judiciary recall. The

Throughout the Tonopah mining
district things are moving along
Just as nice and smooth as any one
could possibly hope for. The gen
eral appearance in all departments
of the mining business hereabouts
is that of order and regularity De-
velopments are the order of the day
in all the producing mines, while
the same can be said of many of
the non-producing mines some of
which have not been worked for
years.
The mills in Tonopah are pound
ing away at steady gait. At the
Montana mill several changes were
made, it is said, which will reduce
the expenses and make working con-
ditions far easier. The West End
mill has about worn off the rough
edges and everything is working
more smoothly than the most san
guine had hoped for. The Tonopah
Extension mill, as usual, is busy
dropping its stamps, turning crude
ore into bullion, and everything is
running very proptiously.
The Bonanza, a short time ago
in it's mining news, gave credit tc
the management of the various com
panies operating in Tonopah and vi.
cinity for the care and alertnesS
always displayed to avert all posi-
BILE accident to employees. Since this
report, however, the Belmont Devel
cpment Mining company has gone
one better During the past weel
the cages formerly used in the Bel
mont shaft have been discarded
and new and more modern cage
have been installed.
The new cages are of the doui L
Deck protection model, with safet
Slide gates at either end and tn
sides of the cages have been equip
ped with man guards. All thi
has been installed at great expense
but expense does not figure whe
the safety Of the miners is factor
With the new cages, after the sta
tion-tender has closed the safet

one should become faint, it is in
possible for him to fall out of tn

the old or unprotected cages. Bt

". c. RALSTON MAKES INSPECTION
Of THE TONOPAH Mines and MILLS
Says the Camp Has Great Future--He
Says That Foreign Capital Must Come to
Nevada and California for Investment.

Sunday evening a representative
Of the Bonanza strolled into the
Mizpah hotel lobby and found AS
sistant Treasurer of the United
States w. G. Ralston talking mining
situations and development. He
gave the following interview to the
scribe as he saw conditions in
Tonopah:
1t is now two years since | last
visited Tonopah, and seven years
since my first visit, at which time
wrote a report upon your mines
for the San Francisco Stock Ex-
change, of which | am a member.
believed then that | saw a great
future for Tonopah and wrote a
favorable report upon this mining
district Several prominent mining
engineers had previously reported ad-
versely on your mining future, and
hence my views, when published,
were severely criticized and CON
demned.
1T is always pleasant to be able
to say | told you SO, and especial
ly where it means prosperity to a
mining district. The now actually
proven mineral bearing zone of pay
ore from the Belmont to the Tono-
pah EXtenson is one mile and a
half in length. Very few mining
sections in the world can make a
/ better showing. This is by nc
means its limits, for the work nov
going on will undoubtedly prove this
zone to be over two miles in length
Tho recent new development in tht
Belmont on the 1200-foot level is
in a new territory and it's value ant
size show what the possibilities il
that property are, and which is to
day unp of the leading mines of tht
state. Jumping from there to th
other end of the proven zone yol
have the Tonopah Extension, witt
it's several miles of drifts and cross
cuts that have developed up larg
ore reserves and have demonstrate
the peculiar fault occurrences Q

more safety and, last, but by no
means the least, twice as much of
the rich ore which is imbedded in
the bowels of the Belmont deposits
can be hoisted and sent to the mill.
Another new feature which will
be in vogue at the Belmont mine
after the completion of tunnel, now
in course of construction, will be the
new 60-foot station. The tunnel
will be used to transfer lumber and
other mine timbers direct from the
lumber yard to the new station,
which will be known as the timber
or supply station-the same being
absolutely level with the lumber
yards some three or four hundred
feet away. This will do away with
the primitive old method of carry
ing supplies to the collar of the
shaft with the incline cable car. 1t
will be some time yet before this
undertaking is in working order.
but when completed, it is said, it
will make for the company saving
per month in the neighborhood OF
$500 to $1,000 in wages.
The Tonopah Mining company is
by no means idle. Much renovating
is at present going on in all De
partments of its several mines. New
drilling machines and new cables have
been installed At the Silver Tol
new flat cable has replaced thu
old one in use so long. Yesterday
being change day at the Mizpah, th'
mine did no hosting, but mechanic
were busily engaged displacing tn
old cable and installing heavy AM
stronger Roebling fiat wire cable il
the west side compartment of tn
shaft. When next change day roll
around it is safe to say anothe
new Roebling wire rope will tax
the place of the old one in tn
east compartment.
The Roebling wire cable was mad
by the American Wire company an
is of the very best material, 3 Y
inches in width and three-eighth
inch in thickness and 2250 feet i
Z length.
When all these vast improvement,
are taken into consideration it
easy to come to the conclusion tht
) the mines management know VIII;
they are about and that Tonopa
4 as mining center, is in its very il
: cipiency. 1t is safe to predict tn;
Y within the next four years MOI
S than twice as many men will

d tion will be doubled if not treble

president declared that the laws de-
lay unquestionably was one OF the
great causes of unrest in this coun-
try, and said that undoubtedly the
recall idea had grown out of the
fact that the courts in many in
stances are not performing the func-
ton that they should.
Judges should be made more re-
sponsible, the president declared, and
the means of impeachment made
more simple. There should be ju-
dicial procedure, a proper hearing,
rather than public clamor. Mr.. Taft
declared that the delay in admins
tering justice in this country should
bring the blush of shame to all
good Americans and that the courts
of this country made a very poor
showing in comparison with those
of England, where the judges keep
up with their dockets and where
criminals find swift punishment
