GEO. WINGFIELD
ARRIVED HERE
70 YEARS Ago

George Wingfeld. who arrived in
Tonopah April 5, 1901, and who has
been here for the past two days,
spent several hours last evening
reminscing on the early-day happen
ings Of the then tented city. Wing
field, then a young man. came here
from Winnemucca with the intention
of engaging in the mercantile busi-
ness. On his arrival here he saw
at glance that that line of busi-
ness was we'll taken care of by the
firm of Lothrop & Davis in their
l0xl2 shack on the lot where now
stands the business block of the
Mine Workers Mercantile store
Mr.. Wingfeld has a keen eye for
business and is quick to perceive
and grasp a situation. Lothrop &
Davis were doing an immense bust
ness crediting every leaser on Mount
Oddie, the firm having to walt for
smelta returns before they were re-
imbursed for their wares. No new
conner could take their business from
them, and in fact, no newcomer de-
sired it. The pioneer firm was en-
titled to all the business, for it was
the firm of Lothrop 4 Davis that
really brought Tonopah into promi-
nence as the big silver camp of the
world.
Mr.. Wingfelds pocketbook con-
tanned $72S, all the money he pos
sessed, but he had a friend or two
who would go behind him for sew
eral thousand dollars in any mer-
camille business that he might en-
gage in. Upon his arrival in Tono-
pah by stage from Sodaville, he
met many of his Winnemucca and
Elko friends, and his few hundred
dollars did not last very long, and
with Jack Hennessy a gentleman's
partnership was formed which lasted
for couple of years and which net
ted thcm sleOO,OOO apiece. Wing
field then entered the mining game
and took his friend, the late United
States Senator George S. Nixon, in
with him as an equal partner. The
phenomenal gold richness OF the
Goldheld ores need not be spoken
OF, for everyone hereabouts knows
OF their fabulous values.
With all his wealth. George Wing
Geld Is the same type OF man he
was when he came to Tonopah In
1901. He Is still a friend to his
friend and has never been known
to 10 back on a friend He values
the old-time friendship more than
life. He is always glad to meet the
Tonopah boys OF 1901 and later
years. Last evening while talking to
the Bonanza editor, an old Chinese
resident who came TO this city dur.
ing the year OF Touopah's birth. en-

WHEN JEFFERSON TOOK OATH /
Early Presidential Inauguration at
Which There Was an Abundance
of I'll Feeling.

The first jefferson Inauguration had
more drama about it than its three
predecessors. The President-elect was
received upon the portico of the new
ly completed north wing of the CAPT
toll by Aaron Burr, whom jefferson
cordially distrusted. And the oath of
Office was administered by one of his
bitterest enemies, Chief Justice Mar
shall. who had been appointed to Of
fee by Adams in the closing days of
the administration, an act which JEFF
ferson regarded as not only an i'm
propriety but a personal affront JEFF
Persons feelings towards Burr and
Marshall were well known.
Then the new president was escort
ed TO the senate chamber, where he
delivered his inaugural address, one
of the most notable of all such
speeches. He was afterward escorted
TO his boarding house, where he re-
ceived the congratulations of the for
eign diplomats and of the leaders of
the popular party. who rejoiced over
the defeat of the Federalists.
