TONOPAH IS THE GREATEST SILVER

mineral belt of the district has been
sreatly enlarged by development
work. New mines are being brought

oruthfully be said that the camp is

phenomenal production in the few
snorts years since its discovery, it is
not unreasonable TO expect that Ton
opah will yet rival Virginia City in
Us total output, which up to the pres
ent time has reached a total OF more
han SS00,O00,000 dollars. Tonopah is
a name to conjure with. The dis
coyery of rich silver ore there few

the state. Tonopah people and Tono-

When the deal was made that sent

Charles Webb Murphy and Johnny

- Reds sent Bert HUMPHREYS to the
Cubs last winter. when he secured
Joe Tinker. the pitcher going as part
payment, he though he was sending
some excess baggage to Charley Muir

thing but true. HUMPHREYS is the
winning pitcher for the Cubs, with II
victories and only three defeats,
percentage of -7SS-
And that's not all, either. Bert Is
about the only one of the seven play
ers involved in the trade who is doing
anything worth while. The Bruins
secured Mitchell, Phelan and Kinsley
besides the hurler. Mitchell has been
shipped to the Pirates; Knisley is in
the Southern league, while Phelan subs
every now and then.
Joe Tinker, the main factor in the
deal on the Reds end, has been out OF
the game a great deal on account Of
illness, and has not been a sensational
success as a manager. Then Chapman
and LOwdermilk, the other players
who went to the Reds, were traded to
Louisville for Miner Brown, who has
done only fairly we'll
