SENATOR NIXON
ON THE OUTLOOK
IS
AN OPTIMIST ON THE PRES.
ENT FINANCIAL SIT.
UATION.
United States Senator Nixon came
over from Goldfleld yesterday and
went 'back last evening by automo
bile, accompanied by R. C. Moors,
assistant cashier of the Tonopah
Banking Corporation. The senator
is an optimist on the situation, and
has adopted the policy that hard
times are of a man's own making.
"It is true that there is a depres
sion in financial circles in the East, '
said he, "but we have had the same
conditions before, and will probably
have them again. We have seen the
prices of stocks lower than they are
now. We saw three years ago Tono
pah Mining down to $4.75, and Bel
mont at 45 cents a share. Last year
the only thing that was keeping up
the general Interest in this country
and the securities was the Hayes
Monnette lease on the Mohawk. From
that flowed the rest of the excite
ment, arid there were more and more
finds. The year before that we had
an awful period of dullness, which
lasted until the strike In Manhattan,
and previous to that it was even
worse.
"But these things righted them
selves in time, as the present condi
tions will. The mines are still pro
ducing the ore, more ore than ever
and while money is tight, men make
times hard, by believing that they are
so, and giving expression to the be
lief. If a man loses heart on any
proposition, there is not going to be
anybody step into the breach. If
there weren't so many pessimists in
the country, there would not be a
lack of business industry. If every
body hollers hard times, the man
with the money is going to draw his
money closer up to him, and hang
on to it. ' . . .. r.r
"We have depression in prices 4n
Goldfleld, but there is no apparent
reason for it. according to the out
look of the mines. The properties of
the ( Goldfleld Consolidated never
looked better in the history of the
camp, and still prices go down. Well,
there Is nothing to be 'done but to
go on producing ore, which is the
thing, after all that counts the most."

Water Turned in the Pipes of
the Round Mountain Hy
draulic Mining Company
and Another Great Indus
try Is Launched.
(Special to the Bonanza.)
ROUND MOUNTAIN, Oct. 10. The first hydraulic giant is in
motion, and the placer ground of "Dry Wash" Wilson, on the
ground of the Combination, was torn up by the yard. Water
was turned into the pipes of the ' Round Mountain Hydraulic
Mining Company at 11:15 o'clock this morning, and another
great industry, one of the greatest in the State of Nevada, was
launched. ,
The occasion was made a holiday
in Round Mountain, for nearly every
body in the town, who could possibly
get away from his business, was out
on the ground to see the first splash
of water come through the pipe. It
was a great day for .the camp, and
one which will long live in the mem
ory of those who witnessed the initial
work of the first giant to be turned
loose in the pursuit of gold.
Placer gold was first worked in
this wonderful camp by Tom Wilson,
now known the country round as
"Dry Wash" Wilson, for the reason
that he operated by the dry washing
system until he took from the ground
enough money to satisfy the ordinary
man for the rest of his natural life.
It was from the success of Wilson
that the project of establishing a hy
draulic system was' evolved in the
brain of Henry Bartlett of the Round
Mountain Nugget. He suggested the
scheme to Tom Wilson, and they set
out to promote, a company for the
purpose. This work went on rapidly,
the proposition looking so feasible to
everybody to whom it was mentioned.
J. L. Loftus and James R. Davis, the
lucky leasers of Goldfleld, and prin
cipal owners in the Round Mountain
Mining Company, Captain Thatcher,
and other owners in the Round Moun
tain Daisy, were induced to take

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 10. Mrs. Cassie Chadwick, whose
amazing. financial transactions culminated in the wrecking of the
Oberlin bank, died in the woman's ward in the Ohio penitentiary .
at 10:05 o'clock tonight.' ' Mrs. Chadwick had been in a coma-
tose condition for some hours previous to her death, and the end
came peacefully. No friends or relatives waited at the bedside..
; only the prison physician and her hospital attendants. Her son,
' Emil Hoover, had been summoned from Cleveland, but he was
' not expected to arrive-before tomorrow morning.

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 10. The Arctic steamer Frithjoff. which
accompanied Walter Wellman on the Record-Herald expedition
to Spitzenberg, was lost off Cape Langnes Island on Saturday.
The captain and fifteen of the crew were drowned. The engineer
clung to a plank and drifted asnore. - ' '''.
stock ln the new company, as well as
owners of other properties in Round
Mountain.
Contracts were made with the ma
jority of the companies in Round
Mountain for leases on the surface of
their properties, and' the water rights
on three creeks were secured from
the Round Mountain Daisy Mining
Company for a period of three years.
The piping and necessary machinery
were ordered and the pipe soon be
gan arriving from Austin, and it was
installed as fast as it reached the
ground.
The plant has been installed at a
cost of In the neighborhood of $85,
000, but that amount will probably
be returned from the ground in a
very' few months after all the giants
are working. The water which was
turned into the pipe today comes
from the Shoshone creek.
The new industry will benefit the
Round Mountain Daisy in more ways
than one. While the lease' of the
water will be a profitable one, owing
to the fact that the flow passes about
forty feet above the shaft, the Round
Mountain Daisy Company has ordered
a ten-stamp mill, which should be in
operation in forty days. The mine
is one of the big producers of the
camp.

CHARGED WITH
MURDER OF GIRL
By Associated Press.
IOLA, Kansas, Oct. 10. The cor
oner's jury which has been investi
gating the death of May Sapp, to
night returned a verdict that Miss
Sapp died from, wounds in the neck
caused by a sharp instrument in the
hands of person or persons other than
Miss Sapp.' So determined was the
jury to make plain their disbelief in
the theory of suicide in connection
with the case that when they inad
vertently had their verdict to read
that Miss Sapp's 'death was caused
by person or persons unknown to
Miss Sapp," they promptly changed to
"person or persons other than Miss
Sapp." A warrant was sworn out to
night for Samuel F. Witlove. Im
mediately after the coroner's jury re
ported, John Sapp, father of the dead
girl, swore to the complaint.
RAILWAYS TO
END LOW RATES
. CHICAGO, Oct. 10. At a meeting
of the transportation officials of vari
ous railroads a consensus of opinions
was that It was useless to go ahead
with the low colonist rates in an
attempt to populate the western
States while the present facilities are
taxed as they are with normal and
natural business. The Impression
prevails that the conditions are likely
to change'. One or two managers op
posed the declaration and said they
were willing to take chances on low
rates.

SOLID HITTING ON THE PART
OF VICTORS IS RE.
SPONSIBLE.
(By Associated Press).
CHICAGO, Oct. 10. The De-
troit American league team suf-
fered its second successive de-
feat at the hands of the Chi-
cago Nationals today, scoring
only one run. Chicago tallied
five times, four of the runs be-
ing the result of solid hitting.
Siever started to pitch for De-
troit, but the locals took kindly
to his curves and batted him
out of the box in four innings.
Killlan then took up the work
and was found for three hits
and. another run in the fifth.
Detroit tried vainly to break
through the Chicago defense.
Reulbach pitched strongly In
the opening innings and when
he showed signs of weakening
in the fifth and sixth innings,
his team mates came to his res-
cue with fast double plays. For
some unexplained reason, the
game failed to attract the usual
large crowd to the grounds. The
official attendance figures made
a total of 13,114, and many
empty seats in - the extended
bleachers made the gathering
appear smaller than this. The
crowd was more demonstrative
than the big outpouring of
Wednesday. Reulbach's bril-
liant pitching In the early inn-
ings and the crashing hits of
Stelnfeldt and Schreckfide
aroused the Chicago partisans,
while the Detroit contingent
were' cheered most heartily, so
that the visiting team might
not think itself deserted.'
VIOLENT DECLINE
IN MANY STOCKS
, By Associated Preaa.1
NEW YORK, Oct. 10. There was
some further urgent liquidation con
ducted at the stock exchange today
which caused violent declines in
many sections of the list of securi
ties. Although in others some show
of stability was made, partly because
necessary liquidation in some stocks
has already besn effected, and partly
by reason of buying on the part of
uncovered shorts who had followed
the preceding decline, and partly. It
was assumed, by reason of support
ing measures placed in the market by
friends of various securities. There
were some violent fluctuations in the
market in consequence. Industrial
stocks as a' group were very weak
and movement in some of them gave
clear evidence of a process of house-cleaning-going
'on -on the part of
some' commission houses, which had .
grown weary carrying accounts or
were prompted to take in sail and to
compel their clients to do so. It was
reported that in some loans that were
maturing severe discrimination was
exercised against some of the indus
trials stocks which figured as collateral.'-
The motive for this cleaning
up process were not indicated by any
immediate news of the day, but the
condition of the money market and
the prospect of an additional strain,
were believed to lie back of the ac
tion.' ..: : - '
