A TONOPAII LETTER.
Tonopah Nevada,
Aug. 2isto4.
Editor Kitggstt.
Cottage Grove, Ore.
We left the Grove on the after
noon train July 27 and reached this
place on Sunday evening the 31st
at 9 o'clock having been delayed by
a cloud burst which covered several
miles of the Carson & Colorado,
R. R. track with rocks and mud
and washed out lots of the road
bed. To say it was a hard trip is
putting it mild. On the trip from
Sodaville into Tonopah after the
passengers helped to fix the road
bed so it was safe to go over and
we thought sure we would reach
our destination, one of the drivers
on the engine broke leaving us with
a crippled engine out on the desert
with nothing to eat, excepting a lot
of fruit in one end of the combina
tion express and passenger car, to
have seen the passengers helping
themselves to the fruit while the
IJxpress Agent was helping repair
the engine, one would have thought
thev were hall starved.
The S. 1'". Uxatntner reported
that the "passengers on the.ill fated
train had to swim six miles and
that the waters of the Nevada
desert were strewu with dead bodies
tlie number of which would never
be known." There was not a single
causulity, although a deserted
mining town ill the mountains back
of Sodaville consisting of some
fifteen or twenty houses was washed
out of existence.
On last Saturday another cloud
burst occured along the Hue ot the
C. & C. road more severe thau the
one we were in. Workmeu ou the
R. R. had just about sttcceded in
repairing the damage when another
one occured washing out the road
bed again so that for five days we
were without mail.
This is a very prosperous camp,
although just now all the excite
ment is centered on Goldfield,
Diamoudfield and Columbia about
27 miles further on where some
phenorainal strikes are being made
almost every day. One of the
latest is one lease where they are
now sacking the dirt in the road
which crosses the claim and which
assays $7000,00 to the ton. The
R. R. which has been built in here
is not near capable of handling the
business of the town, it being a
narrow gage. One mine alone hav
ing more than enough ore on the
dump to keep them going for the
next year, besides having one
hundred and five million dollars
worth blocked out.
Everything is high here common
lumber $50 per m, flour $2 60 per
sk, 50 lbs, potatoes jets lb hay $50
per ton, milk i24 per pint chickens
jt.oo each, water 2cts per gallon,
carpenters wages $6.00, per day
S hrs., miners 54-O0i clerks in store
12 to 16 hours $4,00.
Yours truly,
E. C, Lauder.
