CHRISTMAS DANCE
TO BE GIVEN BY
Miners union
COMMITTEE AT WORK TO MAKE
AFFAIR A SOCIAL AND
FINANCIAL SUCCESS.

The Tonopah Miners Union No,
121, w. f. of M. is going about
in a proper manner to give one of
the largest dances ever held in this
city Christmas night, December %.
Committees have been appointed to
bring this affair to successful
ending with much care. The presi-
dent, in making his selections,
picked only the 'live wires, or
men whom he knew would work
with might and main to have the
affair reach the same rung of the
ladder, or go one better, if pos
sible, than have the Machinists and
Elks. 1t is history now what these
organizations did to the amuse-
ment loving public, and if the min
ers are to equal or best the records
made by these two bodies they
will sure have to be on the jot
constantly.
The miners have held Christmas
dances for the past several years
and with much success, both fin
ancially and socially
The music will be the very besi
obtainable-th Casino Theater or

Affairs of the Season.

The dance given by Tonopah
Lodge, No. 1862, Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks last night
at Miners Union hall, the pro-
ceeds of which win be applied to
charity, drew one of the largest
dancing crowds that ever attended
any similar affair in our city.
The music was supplied by Gold
smiths orchestra from the Casino
theater and was special feature
of the dance, being superbly rem
dered with many varied effects.
