UNCLE SAM AS
SANTA CLAUS

oFAAN n II VIII - "
The parcel post has made the
holiday mails IS per cent heavier
in 1913 than they were in 1919,
according to Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson, but distribution is
proceeding with promptness and
conditions are better than they
have been for many years past.
There is an increased volume
of mail everywhere, due to the
fact that Uncle Sam is this year
playing Santa Claus to a greater
extent than ever before. This in
crease the Postmaster General
describes as phen omenal, but
at no point has the volume of
mail exceeded the distribution
facilities" All of which goes to
show that the Postoffice Depart
ment can get a hustle on itself
when there is an emergency to
be met.
AS a rule, calamities that are
anticipated are seldom realized.
There has been much trepida-
ton for weeks and months past
lest the whole machinery of the
postal business should be over
whelmed with an avalanche of
parcel post packages. Possibly
on this account a good many
people have mistrusted Uncle
Sans ability to deliver the
goods and have patronized the
express companies as heretofore.
But the wise ones did their holt
day shopping early, got to the
postoffice before the rush began
and shipped their packages with
a label bearing the interesting
legend: EDO not open until
Christmas morning" In this
way they left room for the slow
ones who didn't buy early.
Thereby they made it a little
easier for Uncle Sam to help fill
the stockings of the majority of
his ninety million constituents.
Chicago shipped more than
half a million packagesMonday.
The Postmaster at Louisville
says the Custom House would
not hold the packages that have
been sped on their way since
the holiday business began.
These are busy times around
all the big postofices, and the
oldest inhabitant never saw any
thing like it. New York, Bos-
ton, Cincinnati, Omaha, St.
Louis, Seattle and Fort Worth
report a record business, but
no congestion worth mentioning.
In every pant of the country the
condi ions as to bulk of mail are
the same, but Uncle Sam and his
servants are on the job, day and
night, doing everything that is
necessary to make a merry
Christmas.
Uncle Sam is man of might
and means, and the public en-
joys seeing him play Santa
Claus. 1t is a welcome relief
from the good old days" when
the thrifty buyer paid two dol
lars and a half for a Christmas
token for a friend or relative and

TROUBLED GIRL
SEEKS FRIEND
IN TONOPAH
ANSWER TO A MYSTERIOUS LET
TER FROM AN ANONYMOUS
ToNoPAH MAN.

There is a letter for IS. II. 1856" at
the Mizpah hotel, and thereby hangs
a tale that excites curiosity. For the
last two days fFequenters of the Miz-
pah lobby have observed on the bul.
letin board the following cryptic mes
sage: Letter for S. II. 1856. Apply at
this office"
Those who took an interest in the
curious form decided it was a jest
and passed on Others regarded il
as an answer to an advertisement
and paid no further attention. But
those who took pains to inquire,
found there is a mysterious lady in
Los Angeles and an equally mys
terious man in Tonopah. The latter
wrote the former offering assistance
stating he knew she was "in trou
ble and inquiring what he could dc
for her II money were needed, he
would respond at once.

came addressed to Bob Goyan, man
ager of the Mizpah Hotel" and it is
inferred from this that, as the frs
letter was written on stationery o.
the hotel and that the name was moi
given, that the girl or woman who
signs herself Vera" thought the
landlord was in the secret and she
could trust him to deliver her reply
The reply is a simple request fol
money and is written above the letter
of the Tonopah man, who must have
had some object in hiding his iden
tity in the event of his letter falling
into wrong hands, for his signature is
given as IS. II. 1856"
Whoever Vera" may be, she is il
sore distress and needs the services
of her Tonopah friend, and Manager
Govan thought the best way to react
him was to give publicity TO the let
ter That is why it appears on the
bulletin board. There is no secret
or guilty knowledge on the part Of
either writer, as it is not natura
that in such case the original lettei
would be used and sent to an entire

IN 1914
WITH NEW MINES
SAYS BROUGHER
"cAL" 5RoUeHER MAKES A PRE-.
DlcTloN THAT HE is GER
TAIN WILL BE FULFILLED.

THE year 1914 will be as far
ahead Of 1913 as 1913 was ahead Of
1912" was the optimistic remark Of
Mr. H. C. Brougher one Of the larg-
est stockholders of the Belmont com
pany, president of the Tonopah Bank
ing Corporation, the Mizpah Hotel
company. the Midway Mining com
pany and the Monarch Pittsburg Min
ing company, in conversation with a
Tonopah Bonanza reporter last night
Mr. Brougher came here for the
holidays and did not regard this as
one of his regular business trips He
was accompanied by Mrs. Brougher
and both returned TO Oakland this
morning. Mr.. Brougher viii come
back about the middle of January on
what he calls "a business trip and
then will spend several days inspect
ing the various mines and giving
close attention to the details OF
properties in which he is interested.
On this visit he only went down the
Midway and had a conference with
Manager Brady Of the Monarch Pitts
burg.
"All can say about the camp is
that this is the best little place in
the United States today" remarked
Mr.. Brougher, and | can see nc
reason why it should not grow better
every day. Next year viii see two
or three new dividend payers added
to the list and this will have nat
ural effect of stimulating interest in
the camp. Look at the tonnage and
bullion output OF Tonopah and see
what it represents. You must not
look at the net figures of production
for they do not tell the complete
story It is the gross production that
counts, Every dollar received fei
ore goes into local circulation in q
hundred ways. 1t is cut up into par
ticles that circulate in every branch
of life. That monthly payroll is
something tosbe proud of and be
lieve it is going to be much larger
When the Halifax begins stopping yol
will see an increase of interest in
the eastern end of the district thai
will develop other properties anC
extend the mineralized area o.
the western end of the district there
is no use speaking, for the evidences
of activity are seen on every side
The Midway is doing consistent de
velopment and we have cut ledge
in the south cross-cut that may LEAD
to results better than any of vi
anticipated The values are merely
nominal but it is a ledge that will
be thoroughly explored, and 1t is saft
to say the Midway will have some
thing to say before the end of mex
year.
1T has been demonstrated thai
Tonopah is not poor mans camp
and that mine development here calls
for the outlay of a great deal O
money The men who come here tC
engage in mining know this, and are
prepared to furnish the funds re
quired for the proper development o
any interests they may have
