Additional Facilities Promise to Greatly
Increase Efficiency of Service When
Things Run Smoothly.

between 900 and 1000, all carrying
combinations in place of the anti
quated keys, this city can look with
pride upon her mail distributing
center.
Many users of boxes in the old
building have thus far failed to put
in an appearance and receive their
new assignments and combinations.
Postmaster Stewart is most desirous
that all get in at an early date in
order that the workings of the Of
flee may be placed on a smooth
running basis at the earliest possi-
BILE moment.
Just as soon as things straighten
out in the new Office it will be pos
sible to handle mail ten times as
rapidly and satisfactorily as was
possible under the old regime. This
should prove of the utmost interest
to all residents of Tonopah.

THIS SECTION AS A FARMING
COMMUNITY is THE RUMOR
Green and Fertile Valleys Will Shortly
Arise. Where Now the Barren Desert
Holds Sway.

Ninety-eight thousand acres of
barren desert land turned into fer
tile agricultural property by people
interested in the Tonopah & Gold
field railroad, is the promise that
now looms forth. Then thousand
acres treated in like manner in
the vicinity of Millers is a report
that follows closely upon the heels
OF the one previously mentioned
The property under consideration by
the railroad men is in the vicinity
of Klondyke Wells, or a little this
side, according to reports.
That farming is possible in this
section of Nevada has already been
proven. Grain is at the present time
being raised within a few miles of
Tonopah. Vegetables will shortly be
planted, also melons, which will
show positively the possibilities of
the desert" soil.
Should the railroaders prove sue

cessful in their efforts to reach wa
ter, it will be but a short time
before their holdings are laid out
for colonization purposes. Eastern
ers by the hundreds will troop into
this section of the state and assure
the future of both Tonopah and
Goldfield. Mineral wealth this sec
tion has in abundance, and with the
oncoming OF the farmer, rich crops
will re raised on the now barren
desert soil.
Surveyors are at the present time
at work on the property in the
vicinity of Klopdyke Wells, also in
the neighborhood of Millers, and
with the completion OF their labors,
it is anticipated that borers will be
put to work drilling for wells. With
the advent of water, the desert will
shortly become a fertile farming
community and prosperity will reign
supreme
