About $2,500 was raised in a few hours in Tonopah to send the team to participate in a tournament in Chicago. The Tonopah lads, however, did not fare well in Chicago against older and bigger competitions.

From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series VI. Tonopah, Nevada -- Subseries VI.D. Terrell Family. A picture postcard with the caption, "A native son of Tonopah, Nevada." Described by Solan Terrell as the most "cantankerous animal that was ever born," also one of the most intelligent. During the 1920s and 1930s burros ran loose in the streets of Tonopah, raiding garbage cans and providing an endless source of entertainment to the children. While in the Navy during World War II, Solan Terrell won $5 when he bet a fellow that Nevada had mountain canaries weighing 400 or 500 pounds. When Terrell produced a picture of the burro with the caption, "A native Nevada mountain canary," the sucker had no choice but to pay up.

With the mines and mills in Tonopah shut down, the railroad was losing money. The contraption above was constructed to carry passengers on the railroad wheels. The gas tank is visible on the roof of the car.
