AN UNINCORPORATED TOWN

Sad has been the plight of Tonopah.
1t has never been given chance for
its life. The experience of Reno, when
it was under the burden OF the town
government act, is we'll remembered.
1t could be nothing else than village.
Its affairs were managed by the
County Commissioners in an ex officio
capacity and a majority of the Board
did not reside in the town, nor did
they know anything about administer
ing the affairs, but they knew sheep
and they knew cattle. They could
turn straight furrow or throw rock
at coyote, but what they didn't know
about street paving, sanitation, muni
cipal progress and urban affairs in
general would have filled the shelves
of all the Carnegie Libraries in the
United States.
Reno threw off the shackles and it
added 100 per cent to its population
and $50 per cent to its wealth in a dc
SduC. II was SSWNlSd PSiiSSpy. itS
streets were properly paved, 1t had
public buildings erected and it be
came city and the marvel OF all is
that it did not cost any more than
when it was struggling along under
the rule of the incompetents, men who
probably did what they thought was
right, but the trouble was that they
could not think.
Tonopah has more tributary terri
tory than Reno had when it incor-
porated 1t has greater population.
Its future is much brighter What
Reno has done Tonopah can do, and
tonight is the time to take step in the
right direction and, by adopting the
commission form of government,
make of mining camp city OF mines
and of commercial wealth. All prop
erty owners and all who expect to
become property owners, are invited
to attend the meeting at 7:30 this ev-
ening in Miners Exchange Hall. 1t
will prove the turning point in To-
nopah's history-Bonanza.

RICHOREAT BOVARD

County Clerk Charles A. Mcleod
is in receipt OF letter stating that
the famous Gold Pen group of claims
located at Bovard south of Rawhide,
owned by the Gold Pen Mining Com
pany, recently made shipment OF
t,.irty-hve tons of ore from which re
turns were reported by the smelter
amounting to over $4,000. This is
TIE property upon which, in April,
1903, while Rawhide was still a very
active camp, a strike OF several thous-
and dollars worth of very rich ore
was made upon the surface. The re-
port of the fad started the Bovard
stampede A townsite was at once
laid out and rearly every one in Raw
hide who were not engaged III stamp
eding were very active for few days
selling Bovard real estate However,
the stampeders squatted on ground
not included in the townsite. A con-
siderable town was started, lots were
stakcd out, tangled over and titles adj
justed by citizens committee" and
a considerable town sprang up in two
or there days. Good prices were

Mining activity throughout Nevada
continues to increase, according to F.
M. Mason, general manager of the
Utah Ore Sampling Company, who
has returned to Salt Lake after a trip
through the principal mining districts
of that State, says the Salt Lake Tri-
bune. Despite the low market price
for silver, the properties producing
that metal continue to operate at ca
pacity, the managements storing it
until better prices prevail. In discuss
ing the mining situation throughout
the State Mr. Mason said:
There is more mining activity in
Nevada at present than | have seen in
a year Operators take a decidedly op-
timistic view of the metal market,
and are expecting higher prices for
silver New districts are being opened
up and one hears of new strikes in
nearly all of the camps throughout the
State.
The recent discovery of gold in 4
number OF the new districts has given
an impetus to the industry that here
tofore was apparently in no need of
any stimulus. Mining men attribute
the greater activity to the decided
increase in prospecting that has been
going on for some time past.
"Tonopah continues to produce a
heavy tonnage of ore and the opera
tors in that district are decidedly op-
timistic regarding the immediate fu-
ture. More money is going into that
camp and number of properties are
being developed that sooner or later
will be heard from The same condi-
ton prevails in Goldheld New COM
panies are being organized, and, as
greater depth discloses ore bodies of
considerable magnitude, one hears the
more conservative operators predict
ing that the camp is still in its in
fancy"
