More Trouble For Tonopah County Boundary Debate
The United States Government map places Tonopah and most mines in Esmeralda County. A Sentinel diagram based on the map shows a diagonal dividing line affecting Tonopah Amal Gamated, Campiere, Silver Top, Desert Queen and other mines, leaving Tonopah's business district west in Nye County. Officials urge joint survey by Nye and Esmeralda to settle the boundary to avoid costly litigation and political implications, noting future mine patents may hinge on the government line and Nye residents risk electoral shifts if Tonopah residents cannot run for Nye offices. Senator Bell is praised for resisting moves to move the county seat from Belmont to Tonopah.
