Gold and Silver Strike

3 TONOPAH, New, Jan. IA bo-
nanza railroad which links one of
the few remaining glamour spots
of gold rush days with the outside
world will go on trial shortly for its
life.
If it loses, one of the last vestiges
Of frontier romance will vanish
from the business Of hard-rock min
ing in the United States. It's tracks
will be torn up. and ore will be
trucked across the desert to Salt
Lake City or the nearest remain
ing rail point for shipment to smell
ters, and Tonopah will be just an
other inland mining town.
The Tonopah strike" of May II,
1900, blossomed into working
mans gold rush-a place where. for
a while at least hard-rock miner
could start on his own with nothing
but pick.
In the first two decades, Tono-
pah's real boom period, the miners
took S1200O0OO0 worth of gold and
silver out of its desert hills. With
out, even the scratch of a pen or
pencil. James Butler, the diScoverer,
leased claims to the working miners.
Their word was their bond. They
paid off on 25 per cent royalty
arrangement.
They paid $3.50 barrel for water,
SIS a cord for wood, $3.50 for 100
pounds of hay and $40 ton to have
their ore hauled 60 miles to the
nearest railroad. When they worked
for somebody else they got 81 a
day.
Gold ore, 10000 sacks at time,
stood in the street, unmolested,
awaiting shipment.
There was little lumber to be had,
and that little was sky high in
price. Miners built houses out of
barrels, gunnybags. tin cans and
even bottles. A sizable residence
built with glass bottles and NOR
tar was one of Tonopah's show
places.
A year after the discovery Tono-
pah had 1000 or more residents,
was supporting 80 saloons, 2 dance
places, faro games, weekly news
papers, 2 churches and a public
school. In that year it experienced
only one stage robbery.
ut is" said a 1905 report to the
United States Mint, "a very orderly
community"
Butler was an eaSy-go;ng miner
who had been working in a more
northerly community then called
Sodaville. For no particular reason
he went on a trip southwark across
the desert to the Southern Klon-
dixie" a mining community 10 miles
from Sodaville.
At a spot called Tonopah, an
Indian term for scrubby desert
plant which is supposed to indicate
the presence of water, Butler broke
off a few pieces Of curious looking
rock cropping out of the desert.
Reaching Southern Klondike, he
asked an assayer there to test them
for value
When the asSayer learned where
the samples came from, he let them
lie, thinking they were not worth
