SAN. FRANCISCO WRITER SAYS
THAT TONOPAH IS PROSPER|NG

for the ore instead of juggling the
figures on the stock quotation boards
OF course, it would be folly to pre-
dict that each of the companies pros
pecting new territory will develop
a mine. That sort of statement may
be left to the wild-catter. and he
is not popular in these days, for
Tonopah has found that digging is
the only thing that gets the ore
and the only thing that makes the
mine. The days OF the diyining rod
are gone.
No mining camp can boast of
more skilled or experienced men
than are operating in Nevada's new
Comstock. Some OF the names that

company was the purchaser of Jim

been a godfather to Tonopah almost
since it's foundation. 1t was the
same coterie of men who created
this company that built the Tono
