Citizens Hold Enthusiastic
Meeting Last Night to De
vise Ways and Means to
Further Interests of All
Camps in This Section.
MANHATTAN FOR THE MONEY! - . .
That's the slogan for the new boom movement for Manhat-
tan, and It is a motto that works both ways.
Manhattan Is out just now to raise money that she may herald
her resources to the world for the purpose of raising more money
for the development of those resources.
And Tonopah is right behind the camp to help her in every way
that is possible, with energy, with boosting, with money, and
with the dissemination of the news and the truth of the camp,
until the name of Manhattan becomes a household word.
The meeting of the Tonopah Man
hattan Promotion Committee at the
Mizpah Club last night was a howl
ing success. The committee will meet
again on next Wednesday night,
when permanent organization will be
effected, and when there will be sub
mitted a plan of promotion and the
method of financing the plan. There
was a committee appointed for this
purpose. Meanwhile the committee
will be abroad securing money. '
There was displayed at the meet
ing that kind of enthusiasm' and har
mony of . action which spells success
for the movement. Everybody had
something to say for the good of the
cause, and expressed himself as will
ing to do his very best, no matter
where he was, placed. There were
good words, too, for the baby camp
of Round Mountain, the biggest feel
ing camp on earth Round Moun
tain, the producer.
The meeting was presided over by
L. C. Branson, temporary presi-'
dent, while James Force acted as sec
retary. There Were present about
forty. J. E. Weir, of Weir Bros.,
New York, who had just come from
Manhattan, was invifed by the chair
man to take the floor.
"I am out here," said Mr. Weir,
"seeking information. We are try
ing in the East to secure information
but we cannot get the kind we want,
the proper kind. Whatwe want is
the dope, the proper dope. It seems
to me that an association of this kind
would be just the thing for the dis
semination of news of the mines, not
only in Manhattan, but of all the dis
tricts tributary to Tonopah. If . we
have the stamp of approval of an or
ganization like this, if we can say to
our clients, to the world, the men of
Tonopah approve of this property as
a legitimate investment, we can seil
stock. It is a pretty hard matter to
sell stock now when we are all broke,
but under the conditions of which 1
speak, we can sell. It is a good
thing to eliminate the bad, and put
forward only the good. A depleted
treasury does not mean that a prop
osition Is bad. Where money has
been raised for treasury purposes,
and has been put into the ground,
that is good enough for us. But
, where money has been raised and not
put into the ground, and still there is
a 'depleted treasury, I must confess
that. I can't see my way clear to
further finance that proposition.
"But I have been to Manhattan,
and I have seen three mills in the
course of construction; that is good
enough for me."
Raymond D. Frisbie, chairman of
the committee appointed to draft by
laws and constitution, submitted the
same, and they included in the mat
ter of boost other properties tribu

H. A. aicCraney, editor of the Man
hattan Times, told of some of the
wonders of Manhattan, of what was
being done, and what the future
holds in store for the camp. With
regard to the plan of promotion, he
was in favor of looking to Los An
geles for the money. He had beeu
down there and he knew that the
people wanted our trade. Three cities,
San Francisco, Salt Lake and Los
Angeles, he said, were competing
strongly for our trade, and it was to

EMPEROR IS IN
BAD CONDITION
(Associated Press.)
VIENNA, Oct. 12. The condition
of Emperor Francis Joseph took a
turn for' the worse at noon today,
and at a late hour tonight symptoms
of inflammation of the lungs had
increased. Taken as a whole the day
cannot be said to have been one of
progress, although the physicians
who examined his majesty at 1
o'clock declared that the fever had
abated and the condition of the pa
tient was unchanged. At ,11 o'clock
his majesty was quiet and fell asleep.
His heart action is good and he is
able to keep sufficient nourishment.
The physicians hope that a turn for
the better will soon occur, yet as long
as fever symptoms and inflammation
continue they dare not predict a fav
orable outcome. . '

' NEW YORK, Oct. 12. The uneasy feeling which has been gath-

systems under his control, owing- to the stringency of the money .

CHICAGO WINS
THE WORLD'S
CHAMPIONSHIP
IBy Associated Press. '
' DETROIT, Oct. 12. The Chicago National League baseball
club this afternoon, at Bennett Park, won the world's champion-
ship, defeating the Detroit American league team by a score of 2
to 0. It was the fourth successive victory for the Chicago team
in as many days. Taking advantage of every' Blip made by the
local players and running bases cleverly, they scored two runs in
the first two innings, while the Detroit team did not succeed in
getting one man over the home plate. The rooters who had fol-
lowed Chicago from their home city, swarmed down to the dla- ,
mond when the ninth Inning closed and Bhowered them with con-
gratulatlons. Then several hundred of them formed in line and
marched down Michigan avenue, headed by a band; cheering and
singing In celebration of their victory. It was a disappointment
for the locals in more ways than one., '
The weather was raw and cold, entirely unfit for baseball;
the temperature was below 60 degrees and a raw wind swept
across the field throughout the game. The sun broke through
the clouds only once and then but for a few minutes. The offi-
rial count of the attendance vas 7370. - '
r Mullln and Brown both pitched well, but the Chicago man re-
celved stronger 1 support from his team mates. Brown was also
steadier than Mullln, giving but one base on balls to Mullin's '
three, one of which developed into a run In the first inning. There
was missing in: the play of the Detroit team again this afternoon '
the dash and vim which carried them to the top of the Ameri-
can league and won the pennant for them. The local team had
a man on third base but twice during the game and each time
Brown held the bafters safely. In an effort to check the base
stealing of the Chlcagos, Manager Jennings sent in Catcher
Archer to receive Mullln, but the Chicago men succeeded in steal-
' ing four bases from him, the stolen bases figuring materially In
the scoring of both their runs. : ' '

"One thing we must look out for,"

MANHATTAN, Oct. 12. Cram's Lalime lease on ' the Union
Extension is sacking seven hundred dollar ore from a twenty-
Inch streak on the hanging wall of a six-foot vein, at a depth t
seventy feet. The opinion of mining men is that this lease alone
is sufficient to make a camp. The Rose-Nash lease on the same

Manhattan. I think that Round
Mountain should be included in thH
proposition. She Is the baby camp
of them all, but she la already pro
ducing, and is a camp of which we
can say good things with pride to
the camp and'to ourselves."
E. B. Cushman said that one of the
causes for the slowness of the camp
was that it had gone forth to the
world as a high grade shipping prop
osition. It took time to demonstrate
that it was a high grade milling
camp. He said that he and his asso
ciates had gone into the mill build
ing proposition with their eyes open.
They had sent a carload of ore to
Denver, where it wag carefully tested
by F. L. Bosqul, and Mr. Bosqul had
given them the pleasing assurance
that the ore was free milling.
R. P. Dunlap said that Manhattan
had' been- proven, and that with the
completion of the mills It would be
come a manufacturing industry, for
alj that there would be to it would
be the turning out the bullion. He
believed with Mr. Booth that the
scope of the committee should em
brace Round Mountain. He was not
very enthusiastic on Los Angeles, for
he was at the meeting of the new.
board, and he was forced to the con
clusion that Nevada was doing all the
buying and all the selling. At the
banquet every local speaker had a
whole lot, to Bay about the City of
Angels, but nothing at all about Ne
vada, except to suggest that the peo
ple from Nevada buy some of those
remote properties between Mt. Lowe
and the sea. .
Mr. Mushett spoke more kindly of
the City of Angels, and Baid that he
had better luck In financing the
treasury ot a company in which he
was interested. "But," said. he, "the
first thing that we should do is to
talk about finances. We' have got to
have a working fund for advertising,
purposes, and I ' am ready to sub
scribe my share' now. In Mr. Fris
ble's report he fixes the dues at fifty
cents, but we are not going to get
far on that kind of a proposition."
Chairman Branson gave a .little
talk on the power of the press, and
stated that the kind of circulation the
newspapers could give was the very
best. And that the beBt place to put
such kind of advertising, was In the
local papers, for the reason that the
outside papers looking for the news
of mining, camps, clipped generously.
While the local papers, he said, might
not have the biggest circulation In
the world, that circulation was wide
ly increased from the fact of the ex
changes using its columns.
It being understood that Messrs.
Branson and Balliet were going to
Manhattan tomorrow night, tbe7
were instructed to get all the inform
ation possible from the Manhattan
committee.
C. H. Mcintosh moved that a com
mittee be appoinied to gather all the
data about" the mines of Tonopah and
Manhattan, the same to be put In
pamphlet form. He said that If the
committee were to put Its approval
on any property, It must know all
about the property. If stock were
bought in a property which was a
