hours to mention their names.
The absence of saloons and the
saloon element is one of the most
interesting features and no Cinnamon
or negroes are allowed to land, which
is another interesting feature of the
loyalty of the old timers to keep the
camp for the white man.
That this is going to be bonanza
goes without saying, for the ore belt is
5 by IL miles in dimension, and is
immense. The country is rugged and
mountainous, utthe climate is ideal
and at the present writing there are
hundreds of tents scattered all over
the district from this side of the
Colorado river at what is called Old
Trails to Gold Roads. Townsites are
springing up over night and buildings
are being erected like wildfire and
the constant sound of the hammer is
Carpenters are getting Sc per day
and paper hangers and painters are
getting all they can and them some.
Cafes until you cannot see straight
and good meals are furnished at mo-
derate prices Concrete hotels are in
the process of erection in this camp
and the many surrounding camps
and office buildings galore. Many
beautiful homes are already occupied
and others going up. Streets are be-
ing graded and everyone is as busy
as can be- All the handshaking Is
/ going on at the corner grocery store
or on the street corners and the dry's
are quenching their thirst at the soda
fountain, consequently "old barley
/ corn" cannot get in his so-called fine
| work in this district. The promoters
brains (that is some of them) are
much clearer and he is wearing a
smaller hat.
Old Dad Abbey is here and getting
/ younger every day. When he was
( dishing out the "eats" in Tonopah
/ he was about 60 summers and now he
is only twenty winters, just as jolly
and as spry as kitten. He is to
open up first-class restaurant about
three miles from here in what is
known as the Hardy district and
where one of the big properties of the
district is located This property is
called the Times.
The Goldfeld boosters are here tc
stay and If they do not make this
camp a world beater then | miss my
guess. Kenneth Donnelan was here
and will return shortly to open uI
offices. They are figuring on open
ing a stock exchange in the neal
future. Outside of four or five build
ings this place was void OF buildings
two months ago and now there is
scarcely vacant lot on Main street
Most of the ground is being leased
but occasionally a lot is sold Resi-
dental lots are leased at 81 per month
on some of the companies ground
but the Tom Reed company is charg
ing $40 per month.
The sanitary conditions are good
and this is one of the first things the
citizens are going to take an active
interest in. There Is very little sick
ness here as no one has time to get
sick and taking everything into con.
sideration the camp is in a healthy
condition both as to growth and per
manency.
The bankers, brokers and break
ers" are all here and If the popula
ton increases in the next two months
as it has in the past two, people will
have to camp on the hillsides.
We had fine rain yesterday and
| am told that there is plenty of mois
ture here despite the fact that 1t Is
a dry town. | take my hat off to
the drys and hope that the next elec
tion will make the Needles as dry as
a bone for the old booze fighters seem
to think that they cannot stop over
a few hours without imbibing In q
little damnation. but once they get
across the river and land here in Oat-
man they are not apt to return to the
Needles as II costs some to go via
auto. ferry etc. II there are any peo-
| pie coming this way to look things
over ! advise them to take Pullman
with them for there Is not chance
to get wink of sleep for the many
changes.
Trusting that all is well in Tono-
pah and that conditions are improv-
ing, ! beg to remain.
Yours very truly
