as mining camp. Its stability has
been determined and now ii is
recognized town, permanently estab.
ished. Six or eight years ago the
future was in doubt and it would
have been a difficult matter to pre-
iict life Of even three or four
years. The subsequent development
IF the many mines here and the
recent discoveries has changed the
air Of speculation concerning the
life of the district, and now, no
matter what may happen, the future
looks bright
Whether Tonopah will continue to
advance from a business standpoint
remains for the residents of Tono-
pah to decide. Opportunities galore
exist for the betterment of condi-
tions and all that is required is
concentrated action on the part of
the business men and tax payers. To
secure this action appears a hercu-
lean task, but it can be secured il
the people of Tonopah have even the
slightest interest in their own af-
fairs.
There is not a merchant or taxpay-
er in this entire district who is not
enthusiastic over Nevadas future.
This enthusiasm may not appear
On tho curfooa h,,t oonyorea for q
minute with one of the representa-
tive residents and a spirit of opti-
mism will be noticed when the sub
ject of better and greater Nevada
is broached. There is nothing better
to bring out all the enthusiasm than
in q public gathering.
Several months ago a mass meet
ing was held in Tonopah and it
was well attended The subject un-
der discussion was the method of
securing better fire protection. AT
he start of the meeting the interest
was of the forced variety, but before
he session concluded every man in
he vast assemblage was jubilant
over the thought of better protec
tion. The enthusiasm was created
after half dozen speeches, during
> which time several questions We're
argued from every point imaginable
one speaker grew enthusiastic The
spirit was contagious and passed
from one member to another unit
finally every man in the hall wa
/ mbued with the idea Of assisting il
