Jim Butler and the Tonopah Discovery Tale
J B Spurr writes the Tonopah discovery tale from the Engineering and Mining Journal, noting Jim Butler who died at 67 after passing out in Sacramento on January 22. The account traces Butler’s wandering, sampling, and the eventual locating of Tonopah with colorful quotes about the “Virginia silver” myth and an adventurous, personal history.

Against Immigration Square Man and Civic Debate
A portrait of a generous Tonopah figure, Jim, who kept promises to mining partners and financed leases for rich ore. The piece notes his later wealth from an assay sale and his ties to Nevada politics via partner Oddie, now a U S senator. It then pivots to a broader immigration policy debate citing quota laws, labor needs, and Americanization concerns, ending with a New Orleans union labor temple plan.
