you want answered. and that is
What have you to say about thu
railroad? You want an answer, ant
we don't want to make any promises
we cannot fulfill. l win recall tina
the articles of incorporation of tn,
Las Vegas & Tonopah railroad stated
the company was formed to build {
line from Las Vegas to Tonopah BY
way of Beatty, Rhyolite and Gold
field. into the camp of Tonopah
These articles have never beer
amended and the name has neye
been changed, and as the railroaI
was built into every town on tn
route, signs we're erected with tn
words on one side, Miles to La

we had been making money

! Tonopah, but can say that, as y
drove around your town this aftt
. noon, the conviction was forced
d us that Tonopah had reached t
b third stage of existence and tn
k business was almost ready to 81
e port two railroads. We saw the t
e mendous possibilities of Tonopah a
